The Duggar's Go Hollywood

20 Sep 2008 07:53 AM

Maybe we are all just using what is familiar to us. I was an only child and loved having my parents undivided attention. I couldn't imagine sharing a parent with four or five siblings much less 17 others. But, I am sure there are people from large families that love it. There are advantages to both, I just think at some point there is a limit. All I can say is I am glad it is her and not me!

Okay, I realize I am probably going to get haters for this comment, but I do think they are irresponsible. How much attention can two people give their kids when there are 18 of them? And do they do this all on their own financially or do they receive help from others? I saw the house on tv and the institutional size kitchen looked really expensive.

"Saturday Night Live" Season Premiere: Fey Swims Phelps Sinks

Okay, maybe it is just me, but it seems like Michael must have spent about 12 hours a day in a pool for most of his life (okay, maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but still!). I am not surprised if he cannot keep a comedy skit alive - what did they really expect? Did they hire him only for his comedy skills or because, sink or swim, he is the hottest commodity around today?

This sounds so yummy! Will have to try it if it ever gets below 90 here - LOL!

52 Romantic Movies You Either Love or Hate

11 Sep 2008 02:28 PM

My favorites from this list are Dirty Dancing, An Officer and a Gentleman, and Moonstruck. But one of my favorites is Lost in Translation. It isn't a traditional romance movie because the much older Bill Murray and much younger Scarlett Johansson are both married to other people and don't do anything other than hang out and kiss once at the end, but I love that they really get each other, whereas it seems their spouses don't.

Having Twins At Age 59

My guess is that princessteva is young - when you are young, you often think with a certain amount of assurance "Oh, I am sure I will live to be 70 or 80 at least." But, I think once you hit 40, you realize that health issues are a real factor in life as things naturally start to deteriortate. I lost a best friend from high school last year to pneumonia - he was only 45 years old.

Is a Blended Family Normal?

27 Aug 2008 06:45 AM

My family is blended, although not entirely by choice. My father lost my mother when I was 19, then my first stepmother died when I was in my early 30s. Now we are a huge blended family of my dad's second wife's kids, third wife's kids, my youngest stepsister's biological father's family, etc. I know someday I will have to draw a roadmap for my now four year old to understand (including his "Uncle," who is my best friend), but I think as long as everyone loves everyone, it is okay.

Let the Dancing Begin!

I dunno, maybe it is just me, but I was frankly a little underwhelmed by the celebrity list, although I will tune in to see Cloris Leachman - she is so spry for an 82 year old!

Athletes Stripped of Olympic Medals - Part 3

19 Aug 2008 07:30 AM

I agree mrmnmom82 - I mean the guy that inhaled Vicks? But, I guess the IOC has to be strict. I just cannot believe that at one point caffeine was on the banned list!

Swedish Wrestler Refuses Medal

Here's a followup to this story on Yahoo News: "Ara Abrahamian was punished by the International Olympic Committee for violating the spirit of fair play during the medal ceremony, becoming the fourth athlete kicked out of the games and bringing the number of medals removed to three."

See, if you cannot play nicely with the other children, the IOC will slap your hand!
