  1. No, not a gay man. I was hinting that I am the queen of this castle instead of him being the king.
  2. Alex, I am having trouble getting to threads. I changed my setting to have more posts per page. Of course that slowed me way down. I changed it back to forum default, but it is still loading extremely slow as though it didn't really change back. Can you help me? It is taking several minutes to load a thread. I don't have a problem getting onto the site. Just a problem getting the threads to load. Thanks!
  3. Ljm sorry that you had the pb from hell. Those are no fun.
  4. I don't know what is going on with my Internet, but I had to resort to my iPhone just to read the posts since I have been home. Thank goodness for unlimited internet. I noticed that I haven't seen posts from a certain person on the octotwat thread. Do u think they are gone?
  5. Welcome! I am going to try chicken thighs. I had tried a similar recipe with chicken breast (wrong thing to do). It tasted very good, but breast meat doesn't absorb any of the moisture from the salsa. Anyway, I am glad that you found us too. It is really nice to be in contact with people that were banded at around the same time.
  6. I was standing in the checkout line at the grocery store, and she was on the cover of at least 3 of the tabloids mags. I have to say, her smile looked more like the Joker (Jack's version not Heath's). It was something about the way her smiled looked. ***shuddering*** It really creeped me out. The Duggar's were on Larry King and they (the host) asked them about her. Even they sounded as though they were astounded.
  7. Like Donna, I claim 5ft 2, but I am really about 5ft 1.5 (according to the doctor when trying to determine my BMI). My mom is about 4ft 10. My dad was about 5ft 7. I am sure you can see where I am going with this. I am praying that my son takes after his dad.
  8. LOL. Unfortunately, we are still trying to fight over who is queen (hint hint) of my house.:sneaky:
  9. Yeah, you have to think that with Casey's dad being a cop, that his gut had already told him the deal. I have to think that was part of the reason for his mental break down with the suicide notes and stuff. The mother is just plain in denial. I think she is only seeing what she wants to see about Casey. She doesn't want to believe that she raised a killer.
  10. Ok, I am just glad to know that I wasn't the only one having trouble getting on here yesterday. I thought maybe my internet service was being screwy. I have to say that I am a fellow ankle biter. I have no problems going toe-to-toe with my 6ft 4in husband, but typing it just isn't the same.
  11. I read somewhere that TLC has contacted her for a show. WTF? So now you get rewarded for stupidity and selfishness? I wish I had known this long ago. Instead I have worked my butt off to get what I have. I should have filed for disability and had 14 kids out of wedlock to do it the easy way like she did.:eek:
  12. IMO, grandma doesn't want to face the possibility that she raised such a selfish daughter that would harm her child (even if by accident) in order to party without interuption. I do think the death was probably an accident, but that doesn't negate the fact that she was willing to do harm (even if only to knock her out while she partied) to her child. How does a parent decide to do something so evil to a child?
  13. There are a lot of secrets. Many that we will never know the true extent of. It is really sad. I agree with luluc, my mom will turn me in too. Heck, she may find some large parcel of land to just dispose of me.
  14. Exactly! If she knew her child was missing (as she claims at that point), why was she out partying instead of looking for her child? I can't understand that. My son's bus was late the very first time he ever road a school bus. I was frantic. I was calling everyone I could think of. The school. The company that runs that buses. I had my coworkers calling. I had the guard outside looking for him. How could she party? That, IMO, shows that she had no compassion for her child and "seems" to show that she knew where her child was the whole time. I know that unless she confesses, only God and whoever witnessed, knows for sure.
  15. I found it under user cp. It is towards the middle of the page. I will admit to looking over it twice before I saw it. It didn't stand out.
  16. It makes me want to grab my son and hold tight. I get emotional too. I just don't get it.
  17. Instead, she was out partying. WTF?
  18. I just can't fathom how people can hurt children.
  19. PJTP-I am wide awake. I have to be up at 5. I can't call in sick to work (I could, but it wouldn't be worth it). I am completely stuffed up. I feel like the commercial for the nose spray (I think) where the lady's head has been replaced with a stuffed bear's head. I feel full of cotton. I really wish that I could go back to sleep. Of course, I will never go to sleep sitting here messing with the laptop.
  20. I didn't even know that was an option. Thanks for mentioning it.:blushing:
  21. You have it G4E. Drugs seem to be rampant everywhere now.
  22. You are making the right decision IMO, but I can understand why she wanted to use your pictures. You look amazing!
  23. Sorry Susan. BG-on that note, I did lose another pound this morning. Hmmm I wonder how long this illness will last? I just need to lose 10 more pounds to onderland. Do you think I can make it?
  24. Ew is right. I wanted restriction, but not restriction made from snot. I know TMI.
