And who would be in that club, Ron?


Oh, anyone who has drooled in forum posts....or batted eyes in forum posts (I believe DR Jason pegged it with the word "ogling")....or made "come-ons" in forum posts....bona fide fan club members if there ever were any!!!

I haven't seen the whole thing...it's so heartbreaking I can't watch the whole thing at one time. A friend of mine edited it---I can't imagine how he felt while he was working on this.

I don't know if my old house survived, but my elementary school (2 blocks away) was under 8 ft of water and it was a bad neighborhood of old houses, so I'd be surprised if it was still there.

I'm not a big Spike Lee fan, but I liked what I saw of this. Just be prepared---it's so depressing and with some graphic images.

It was very good.  It is powerful and I think everyone should see it,.

And for each person I refer, I get a free training session too!  And it looks like at least one of my roommates will be signing up this week too, as well as one of my neighbors.  :)

We've picked a bad day - I'm already on a tear over the misuse of undocumented immigrants to further social change:

ASSOCIATED PRESSWhy do advocates for social change always pick the worst examples to publicize?

A. The woman entered the U.S -illegally - OK, an infraction, like a traffic ticket.

B. She is deported and then re-enters the country illegally - OK- now were up to a serious misdemeanor at least.

C. She falsifies information to obtain a job; is arrested, and convicted - now she is a criminal.

D. She fails to obey a court order to surrender - now she is a felon fugitive.

E. She seeks a phony sanctuary in a church and thumbs her nose at authorities.

F, She leaves the church with much publicity to protest against the government

G. She gets arrested and deported - NO KIDDING!

And, now, I am supposed to feel sorry for the family because the felon Mama abandoned her child - PLEASE!

If the immigration rights folks want to gain some sympathy for their cause, find an undocumented immigrant couple, both employed without resorting to falsifying SSNs, neither of whom has an arrest record, with a mix of undocumented and US born children, and then pick them up for deportation. (Now, you must address the issue of splitting the family between legal and illegal - and you are also removing the sole means of support for the US born children. - NOW YOU GET SOME SYMPATHY!

der Brucer

PS I would improve on the above scenario by finding an undocumented couple of obvious northern-Europen genetic heritage.


 

This happens all the time, Der Brucer

Dearest DR TCB - how's the shoulder?

I think Mr. Ball looks rather glamorous in his HAIRSPRAY togs.  ;D


That picture, as you call it, may just drive DR Danise right over the edge!

As for the shoulder, I got good news for a change.  The MRI shows that I did not tear the rotator cuff, but I tore a ligament in my shoulder instead.  I will still need surgery, but the recovery time shoud be better.  Thanks for asking, td.

Well, sorry to hear about the needed surgery, DR TCB, but it sounds like the best outcome possible.

Do you have some leeway as far as scheduling?  I imagine you want to get it over with ASAP, to get rid of the pain and start the healing!

Big Brother live feed comments.

I am really disgusted by dick and the producers.


Update.  Jen is on slop. She started eating regular food.  She was told she would get a penalty nom next week with no chance of being taken off the block (if she stayed).  So they decided to vote jameka off.

Well then big brother changed their minds and decided that she would not get a penalty nom next week. Instead she would get an extra vote against her this week.

Now whether that was more fair or not is up for debate. But how can they change the rules after they've already said what would happen.

And since jen is now the 2nd most popular houseguest (after dick) why would they want her to go. They manipulated things so eric and dick could stay. Why not jen?

Btw, i feel so sorry for jen and am so proud of her.  She is finally standing up to dick (he is abusing her like crazy). He hid all her clothes and make-up in the hoh room, burned her with his cigarette (maybe not totally on purpose) and has been nothing but vile and disgusting towards her.

I just can't believe that his misrepresentation on the cbs show has made him popular.  Everybody on the live feeds board i read thinks he is so vile and completely horrid.  I just don't get why the producers have let him abuse and threaten jen like them have. really poor job on their part.

I like Dick...there I said it. Now, I'm not watching the live feeds, but I really like the Dick, Danielle, Eric and Jessica foursome.  Don't like Jen. Not sure exactly what happened, but I'd love to see her go. I'll have to check the summaries for the live feeds

They are going to fit me in at the end of the day on Monday for an appointment with the surgeon.  I should know a little more after that.

I remember when Sunday in the Park with George was at Arena Stage back in 1997.  We basically got wonderful reviews from everyone except The Washington Post.  -Which sort of surprised us, since the reviewer always seemed to like whatever Eric Schaeffer directed - even if there were issues with the production.  In any case...

Since Eric had a background in graphic design, he came up with a mock-up quote ad for the show.  It started off with pulls from the good reviews, then ended with...


"Flat."

DR Ron - I like Eric because he has been able to pull off lots off so many of the America's Player stuff and everyone just seems to fall for it, that's lol to me.  And I think that a final 4 of Eric Jessica Danielle and Dick would be a lot of fun

Nope - the Doc has been prompting for years but I'm not buying. If perchance I should develop colon cancer, then make me comfortable and let me go.

If you had skin cancer would you also leave it instead of cutting it off?  It is basically the same concept, you cut off the cancer or pre-cancer spots-end of story.  If left alone the cancer eventually takes over.

I just read the live feed summaries.   Oh Puhleese. Jen broke the rules and flaunted it because she got nominated.  Talk about a cry baby. Time for her to go home.
