I still wonder why the hate on her.

I could only wish I had her voice.

I laughed so much at her Roar! Eye of the Tiger video. Priceless.

Going to make Chili in honor of the snow cone weather out there.

and holding my breath for Ferguson.

Flip of the coin why they are waiting 'till nightfall? Maybe to let rush hour clear? Politicians are already fighting.
Oy.

Yeah,and Kmart came out with a statement in response to the memo that doesn't seem to match the photo's.

“Again, we reiterate that our stores do their very best to staff with seasonal associates and those who volunteer to work holidays. Seasonal associates are told upon hire of our holiday store hours and we make every effort to accommodate associate shift requests during this time. Associate schedules are posted, on average, two weeks in advance – including for holiday schedules. All associates are compensated time and a half pay for the hours they work on Thanksgiving Day. We continue to express deep appreciation in advance to all associates who will be working Thanksgiving and Black Friday.”

While I'm sure each store is different, it is hard to believe since they were responding to those management notices posted. I for one will not shop on Thanksgiving Day.

It's illegal for retailers in RI to open up on Turkey Day. Mass and Maine too, I think

To me, she has a very throaty voice that she pushes too much and puts very little emotion into her music.

She could be really good if she backed off a little bit and put some more emotion into her music. It's mostly the throaty pushing that bothers me, though.

*shakes head* Like I said, sometimes they only think they know what they are doing.

The Pediatric ER doctors at our local hospital were always better than the ones in the adult ER now. They knew what they were doing more with asthma. The adult ER doctors are really bad. Remind me to tell you the long story about the one who tried to tell me that I did not have asthma.

Usually, my allergist can fit me in in a pinch during the day. If not, I can usually get in to see one of the allergists at his office. Not always a bad thing either; one of the other allergists suggested one of the two controllers that I'm on (Alvesco).

I usually only do Urgent Care for non-asthma stuff. It's $30, which is the same as seeing my allergist. So if it's a Friday afternoon and I need to be seen, it's a pretty good option.

Well I woke today feeling worse. It's a full blown sinus infection. It is 5 pm here and I have been calling the doctor's office since 1045 this morning. Finally I got through to this PA and he agreed to call in a prescription for me.
@StarWarsGirl95 you sound a lot like my mom: she has asthma and also sees an allergist.
As an RT, I have thought about getting my Asthma Education credential so I can maybe have more clout with the DRs in the ER.

ROAR! Katy Perry will be the Super Bowl halftime.

Who would you like to see perform, if not her? How about the Trans Siberian Orchestra? I think they're great (I saw them a few years ago). Do you think they'd be appropriate for a football entertainment halftime show? (Since I don't watch football, I'm not sure exactly what kinds of entertainment are popular.

It will just give me time to make a snack for the second half.

 

[seahawk7]

Can't "like" that post.
Retail has gotten to the point where it is just plain idiotic.
I experienced it progressively getting worse even over the course of the 4+ short years I was in it.
And, places like The Disney Store were no exception.
Just plain nutso.

Agree. When did making a buck become more important than family? That's a rhetorical question.

As for your last sentence, I also refuse to shop anywhere on Thanksgiving Day.

Me likey green/Hatch chiles...!

Yes, see you know. Hatch green Chile. Yum

I still wonder why the hate on her.

She is not a good singer. I think that is why she wears the costumes she wears, to distract us from that fact.

 

[MinnieM123]

That is correct for Mass. anyway. (I don't know about Maine.) With the exception of businesses such as gas stations, small mom & pop corner variety stores and small florists, retail businesses may not open until midnight.

I m a fan of multiple collaborations. I enjoyed last last super bowls performance. But I love the RHCP and Bruno Mars did a great job. I have noted the older performers as well as the newer ones. Beyonce did great, as well as Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty.

That sounded like a nice mix of performers: something for everyone's taste.

I would have liked to give you two likes.
One for "Trans Siberian Orchestra".
And one for "I don't watch football".

I so love Trans Siberian Orchestra! I'd be surprised if they'd be invited.

Oy.

theres a lot of photos of ferguson in tumblr and other social media sites.
they describe the place as bad as small town during a Junta lockdown.
Ridiculous.

You cant blame her honestly, look at lady gaga and miley cyrus.
Almost seems like a contest to see WHO SHOWS MORE SKIN in the most ridiculous way than actually focus on singing.
