chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I went with my friend the detective to his office last night before going out to dinner and was listening to the shift supervisor speaking to his men/women officers while waiting. He was saying that during the Christmas season, domestic violence is usually on the rise, BUT that this year with the economy the way it is they are already experiencing a multitude of complaints and they expect it to grow even worse the closer the holiday comes. So many people are out of work, something this city has never seen before. He warns the officers to be prepared for an escalation of complaints and violence... It made me feel sick to know he was right... _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

Her birthday bash was such a big TO DO. We have starving kids, abused kids, YET this trashy woman takes front row? Puleaseeee....This is what we tell our kids is "hot" and is "acceptable" and should be what they model their lives after...uh huh. Sure. On the opposite channel was the Victoria Secret runway show. Women in skimpy underwear, hanging out everywhere...yet we say, "Oh look, isn't that great?" Tell me, what's the difference in this and [censored]? I'm glad I read. _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	OMG JJ, you and I think exactly alike. I can't tell you my reaction to that discusting Victoria Secret expensive, unrealistic garbage and on prime time TV. The Britney Spears situation is this to me: Glad she has made it back into real life, away from the drugs and tramps like Paris Hilton as her role model. I hope she truly appreciateds what she has and behaves like a decent human being for her two adorable children for a change. No wonder our youth today are all messed up mentally and morally, seeing underwear flounced about on half naked women, and young, drugged up trash on prime time TV as if they were somebody to admire... _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

They aren't allowing their 16 year old millionaire daughter to run wild and good for them, I say!!! Lets hope she remains a good girl when she is 18 and over. There are certainly more important things on this planet to concern the worriers, I would hope. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	There's too much sadness in this ole world. But there's a lot of good, too! Look at that puppie's ears standing straight up over there on the left below the hunk walking on the beach! Sorry, I got off subject here! If everyone would simply help everyone else enjoy their life, what a wonderful thing that would be. You know, the ole "do unto others..., etc." Oh darn! When I started this post, it wasn't this high up on the page! LOL...

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	Hi ladies! Actually, according to The Texas Council on Family Violence, the Super Bowl statistic isn't true. Not sure where that got started. Have missed all of you but been super busy. I'm going to start my volunteer work again this month. Been away from it for too long. Happy New Year to all of you! _________________________ If it doesn't feel good, don't do it twice. www.eadv.net Boomer Queen of Shoes
