WW...WHO ARE THE RED RAIDERS? Oh my, I don't even know what to say. They are the premiere team of the Big 12...Texas Tech Red Raiders! Just when I thought we were getting along so well...

Texas Tech University, big rivals with University of Texas Long Horns! I'm not a "born here" Texan, so you can ask me anything!

Hey, I'm tryin' real hard here to get educated ..... Work with me here.
There is a university in Fort Worth...Do you know what it is??? Is there more than one university in Fort Worth??? Thanks

I think that's a great idea...I love that show!

Hi fg......I too love Jeff such a mess , but so productive.....i liked when the assistant too the cat for accupuncture last season......maybe that's what Drb should do with Morris..(goat- cat)

I posted this info long time ago, but fyi.Jackie Warner was paid $10,000 by the LA gay pride committee to ride in a float last year, in th LA Gay Parade. I do hope that this year the b tch is walkin'
I trike to find out if she had offers from the community this year, but my friend didn't know

Texas Christian University...TCU Hornfrogs. There are others but mostly branches of other universities. You should see the hand symbol of the Hornfrogs...looks like my Grandma's arthritic fingers. LMAO!!!

Skates...Longhorns? Well that is better than the Aggies. My best friend for 25 years, her husband is an Aggie and now her daughter is going there. We went to the Tech/A&M game this past fall. I think everyone is a rival of A&M in Texas. They are obnoxious! But their traditions are pretty cool!

Did you survive the craziness of life yesterday?

Wonder Woman, Thank you so much for your post. Words can never express how much it meant to me.
For all the negative that cancer has brought to my world, it has brought just as much positive to it too. (I know that must sound strange LOL)

When I was first seen by a melanoma specialist, his first words of advice to me were, for me to lower my stress level.
He went on to explain, that everyone has cancer cells in their body and how stress can "activate" the cells. He futher explained how stress lowers the immune system making it too weak to kill the cells etc etc.

That doctor had no idea how his words changed my life.
I had been in a bad, stressful marriage for 20 years.
My diagnosis, combined, with the doctors words, gave me the strength (and much needed knock in the head LOL) to leave that marriage immediately. (best decision I have ever made)
I left behind the nice house with the pool, the furniture, everything, except my car, my pets, my children and our clothes..
I was not going to waste one more second of my life arguing with my ex over anything again ...
I of course would not say that would be the right decision for everyone, but for me it was and it felt fantastic !!!! :-)

To this day (8 years later) I do not regret it one bit...
I got something much more valuable than everything I left behind... I got not only control of my life back....I got ME back.

Plus a year and half later, I met a wonderful man and am happy to say we got married 2 years ago...

Cancer has truly taught me how precious time on this earth is.
It taught me to "make it count".

While I am writing, I would like to take the time in this post, to clarify something I had written in my earlier post regarding melanoma and to try to help others not "wind up in my melanoma shoes" by telling others how to keep an eye on your own body for it.

In the very beginning stage, (very small window of time) if caught in time and every cancerous cell is removed it can be "cured". (most likely won't return)
Once it hits the lymph nodes is when it is too late for a "cure". I didn't clarify that in my other post. ...

I would like to take the time to educate others on how to keep an eye on their skin for melanoma. I had never heard of melanoma before, so when a spot appeared on my skin, I just thought it was no big deal.
I just thought it was a funny looking mole, so I waited a few months before getting it looked at. My first mistake..

I beg of everyone who ever comes across this post, now or in the future to please, please ...Become very familiar with any moles and spots you may already have on your skin and be aware of any change in their appearance plus look for anything new that appears on your skin.
(A good suggestion is to take pics of all moles and spots you have now. It makes it easier for you and/or a doctor to truly realize how or if they have changed appearance)

If a mole changes or a suspicious spot appears on the skin, get to a QUALIFIED doctor immediately. (I recommend no one other than a melanoma specialist be allowed to remove anything characteristic of melanoma, off your skin. ( Alot of dermotologist, general surgeons and family doctors do NOT know the proper way to remove suspicious spots that might be melanoma, thus leaving cancerous cells behind). My second mistake.

Mel is unique because it starts growing on the outside of the body, not the inside like most cancers. It then grows inward through the layers of skin towards the blood stream and lymph system, then to the organs.

The key to being "cured" of melanoma is to catch it before it grows down through all the layers of the skin, that way it can't enter the lymph or blood system.

I wish I had realized that the skin is the largest "organ" of the body...I never thought of it like that until my doctor said it that way....
I wish I had taken more precautions in the sun....never bought a tanning bed and had realized how bad most processed food is for the body and that according to some findings....cancer loves ...(Jackie would love to see me say this LOL) ---->>>> SUGAR.

My apologies to everyone for such a long post...but it truly comes from my heart, hoping to help someone.

As they say in TV Land, "Sorry for the interruption to the show. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program"....(That means for everyone to get back to posting like they were before my previous post that sent the board south LOL)
Hugs to you all on this board. I am happy to "know" each and everyone of you !!!!!!

Did ya'll see what Tori Spelling named her new baby girl? Stella Doreen.....Hmmmmmm.

So I just finished watching the finale.. Did she break up with Brianna? I'm glad to see the Sky Labber's finish but it didn't seem like much of an ending.

OOPS.whats up!?

I screwed up and Al is mad. But it's better.

I want to congratulate everyone that participated in the Sky Lab boot camp. You all did a great job.

I was happy for J.D. in that he got his client to lose over 41 pounds (the secondest biggest weight loss). I knew he could do it. He worked so well with her and she seemed to like him too.

I was surprised Jesse won. His client Natalie lost more than 50 pounds. He invested a lot into her and it paid off, great job.

This season has come full circle. The first three episodes were rough. By the fifth episode Work Out found it's voice again.

Deenie is working out with Peeler and still looking to do more reality shows (3 so far)...Lost more than ever and looks great, check out thier myspace page....

She ate the poor thing! "no sugar and pure protien"....

good to see you, young man

I just don't get it. Jackie goes on a cruise and flirts and makes out but that's ok. Jackie continues to tease and flirt with Rebecca, but that's ok. Jackie calls on Rebecca, her ex, to be her support whenever she needs it, but that's ok. And Brianna is immature and not trustworthy? I wish someone could explain that to me.

So, we have a woman who belittles another lesbian on a lesbian cruise, makes fun of a breast cancer survivor, lies about the circumstances under which an employee leaves, flirts and kisses behind her girlfriend's back, perpetuates ridiculous gay stereotypes of role playing and promiscuity, and we have to wonder which one is immature and not trustworthy?

Jackie needs to get her head together and grow up. As long as these are the portrayals of gays and lesbians, we'll NEVER have equal rights.
