Not sure about 'The Voice'.

Still annoyed that the bearded dude with the glasses wasn't picked by Blake, and that was a couple of weeks ago (over here, I mean).

Is this a TV show?

To all of you dealing with tough choices/events ahead.

As human beings, we fear that groundlessness feeling... or the threat of being thrust into it situationally...

however, it is stepping into that space that grows us, changes us and brings us joy/fulfillment/truth.

Best of luck!

Thank you, wise words!

Yep, a singing competition one. I'm giving it a run for a few episodes as it's a bit different to American Idol but I'm not sure it's going to hold my attention.

I just wish my man could be with me today .

Do you guys have a plan to ultimately be together? Where would that be? I know how hard the long distance thing is.

Thanks! It is .

Partly in his country and partly in mine would be the plan at the moment. The whole situation is really complicated . We had planned that I would go and visit him in a few weeks, but it probably won't happen .

It feels good to fart and belch. I know i should give up Perrier but I don't want to.

i know i have to have the surgery, but i don't really want to. it's going to hurt a lot and keep me from doing things for three months. still, it has to be done. next week i will rely on all of you to distract me from the pain. that, and oxycontin

So this is all set up for next week? Which day? The "hurt a lot " part doesn't sound so good . Are they fusing all of the bones in your wrist (there are a whole bunch of little ones as I recall) or just some.

What kind of mobility will you have in your wrist after they are done?

Do you have arthritis in other places as well?

Keep us informed. We do not have a large variety of flowers here at the org so it will just be endless bouquets of tulip. (Unless of course I actually learn how to post pics now that I am living in a house with a computer in it ).

thank you dearie

Right now I am feeling a bit lonely. Usually I can come on the org and be entertained enough that I don't really think about it.

These are both carbonated waters right? Isn't carbonation bad for you?

I gave up soda, iced teas and juices again recently.... so the carbonated water helps. Peligrino has minerals in it also. I also like the Mandarin flavored carbonated water...

I drink non carbonated water also, but its a nice treat with dinner. My kids love it too, they prefer it to juice.

No ~ Michael and I started dating after I moved to NC when I was 21 We've been married almost 23yrs and together going on 27

[Edited 9/8/11 6:22am]

Well I knew you met fairly young and it has been a long long relationship. I believe if you want to do something successfully then you should talk to those who have been successful at it. My mother was the worst person to take relationship or dating advice from because she was clueless, truly clueless concerning those matters. You know that saying that I don't know exactly but it is about how a young man thinks his parents are not so bright but later when he is older he is amazed how bright they have become? Well my experience was the opposite. I thought that my mother probably knew best because she was older, she was 50 when I was 16. Now I am 50 and realize just how clueless my mother was way back then.

I wish there was another adult in my life when I was a teen that knew a bit more than my mother and was not afraid to share that info with me. There was not the plethora of self help books that there is now either.

At the farmer's market this afternoon ~ it's really quite beautiful

You said that you were from N.C. or maybe you said you met your husband there. Where were you born, where were you raised and where do you live now?

I have never seen red okra before nor have I tasted pickled okra. Now that I am in Pensacola, just 10 miles from Alabama these items should be somewhat easy to find. Does red okra taste different from the green the way that a red bell pepper tastes different from a green bell pepper?

Please do tell! I absolutely love the South and am not a big fan of Florida but the part I live in is very Southern.

I am from Detroit Michigan - born and raised ... ~ Moved to NC around my 21st b-day

I have yet to taste the red okra ( my 1st experience with it ! ) so I do not know yet but I would guess that it would be a bit different (?)

I LOVE the South ... I would never move back to the D area of MI ~

My brother lives outside Pensacola !

how far are you from the beach ? Do you love the ocean ?

Thanks for the hug .

Truth is she married an alcoholic, pure and simple. That did not mean that all men were alcoholics or slackers. Basically my mother seemed to be steering me to the better looking losers of the bunch. I just don't know . Then she went on this "marry for money" kick. She told me that one of her coworkers, a Jewish woman, had a husband who cheated on her regularly and whenever he got caught she got a great new piece of jewelry. Also if you marry a rich Jewish man, according to my sage of a mother, you automatically get half of everything when they divorce you because, according to old wise one, their religion tells them they have to give half of their property up.

Obviously my father was not a very good provider most of the time. He was very very smart and quite gifted when it came to all sorts of things like carpentry, plumbing etc, if and when he was sober. So suddenly she began pushing me towards dating Jews. That is when I decided I was gay and became every lesbians best friend and the most asexual lesbian in Provincetown.

Anyway my point is a jaded mother is just as bad as a naive one.

I love the Ocean but have only driven to it since here. My roomate is the one with the car so I need to see if any of the buses take me there. He seems to only be interested in the beach when it is gay mens weekend here in Pensacola . I bought a bathing suit on Target.com in a smaller size but my weight is not falling off the way I want it to.

Please let me know if you come to visit your brother! I have only met 2 orger so far.

Where do you live now? Are you still in North Carolina?

Did you raise your daughters in the South?

Where was your husband born and raised?

I sort have thrust myself into the situation. I believe that becoming an actress is a life long Dream because it is what God wants me to do. In a weird way I have come upon 3 books that basically say this. So I left my daughter behind in Massachusetts and moved South. I believe that my love for the South is because that is where I am meant to be.

However sometimes the hardest thing about this journey is fighting off the guilt of being selfish. I must remind myself that when depressed and out of shape I barely have energy to help myself never mind be of help to anyone else. Become a stronger person means I can be a greater help not only to myself but to my family and beyond. One of the things this journey has taught me is to respect myself as an individual. It does not matter if something works for someone else, if I try it and it does not work for me it is O.K. for me to put it down and try something else. I am an individual an I need to respect my individuality and not get angry with myself because my needs are different then the needs of others.

Being "groundless" as you say, allows for a total change of direction a complete 180 degree change that may be long overdue. I also have read that when we are on the right path we get signs that this is right, it begins to feel right.

It is also important to never ever think it is too late. If you are still alive it is not too late to make major changes in your life.

Loving/respecting yourself is incredibly important.

Good luck with everything!

Absolutely GORGEOUS pool. If I knew someone that owned anything half this nice I would be over there at least twice a week!!

Women are strong, powerful and beautiful.

A hunch in general is used to refer to a premonition or an intuitive feeling. In this sense it is used to refer to a guess or a feeling which is not founded on known facts. It could also refer to a hump; or a lump or chunk. It has also been used to refer to a push or shove.

As a transitive verb the word hunch has been used to mean blending or drawing up into a hump. It could also mean to push or shove. As an intransitive verb it generally means assuming a crouched position or cramped posture. The verb could also mean thrusting oneself forward.

The origin of the word is not known for sure.

Hunch. What a weird word.
