*Points Large judgemental Finger of Blame at Ocean*A-ha ha ha! ;)

Geezus am so lucky where I live, weve been getting a small amount of flooding, but like seriously the worst complaint in general: is rain with a strong gust of wind!

@Leg: I know, could have a full 'Independence Day' style, Alien Invasion landing in the front yard and if I'm in a deep sleep it wouldnt wake me either! :)

Ooooh, Oooh KITTEN!!! =D
What are ya going to call him?...Im SO Jealous of ya right now!!!!!!!
 
Awesome Spring Break starts in 45 mins :)
How is everyone today in TDS?
I am quite good today
 
that tsunami, man...yikes /: my heart goes out to all of them. But yeah w33dsp34k, my spring break started yesterday as well....was a pretty good day too.....Aced the test in the one class i had that day, got my weekend shot in.....but there were a bunch of people at my friends house shootin dope too and i didnt realize the guy had thrown me my change and when i got up to do something it fell and one of the junkies snagged my 10 dollars change....but still no biggie......but then i worked out and i dont remember the lock combination because it was from like 6th grade which was from forever ago so i had to leave my stuff in an unlocked locker (my mistake i know) but some asshole jacked all my money and so what started out as a good spring break quickly ended........


now i'm completely broke for my spring break which means i cant go to a massive happening tonight, can't go to any parties, can't go visit my brother down at isu, can't even get weed or alcohol or ANYTHING for the rest of this break when i really needed the break too....god, fuck people. /rant

but panic, i'm with you, i'll hitch hike with you to cali since i'm on spring break :D.
 
So, in the afternoons my mom watches Ellen (she loves her)- so anyway, after Ellen, Oprah comes on and yesterday I watched this awful awful episode.
It was with that Nadya Suleman (the octomom- she actually has like 14-16 kids but w/e) so, she goes on this show and I was literally BOILING over with anger at how both that despicable woman Suze Orman and Oprah ganged up on this poor woman. Yeah, she made mistakes but the show was SUPPOSED to be about helping her get financially organized and Suze Orman was EVIL and Oprah just joined right in. Suze Orman says "The lesson for everyone here is not to judge" (to the audience to tell everyone NOT to judge Nadya) then turns around and belittles, intimidates and basically talks trash about her the entire episode. The poor woman, I felt sorry for her- She said she has terrible self esteem and wanted to be liked by women b/c of issues with her mother.....Suze is like "Everyone hates you! Who cares!" Nadya says something like "I don't want them to" and Suze Orman is like "They hate you!" and Suze also said things like "Even you deserve some help" (like the woman was the scum of the earth) - B/c Nadya goes to the gym in the middle of the night (which is nice that she doesn't leave her kids in the day to work out) Suze says b/c of this she is vain, wants to look good etc.
(Ummmmmmm- so what? She wants to be healthy and goes to the fuckin' gym?!?! You're going to berate her in front of the world for it and tear down her self esteem even more?!?!?!)
Oh, I wish I could find a clip of the show b/c I was SO pissed off I actually WROTE to the Oprah show hahahahahahaha I'm serious.
I've never done anything like that before but It was so so wrong.
Suze Orman might be the devil.
 
this is strange,,,
i like Oprah.

maybe whats her name got on a power trip, over zealous, and oprah had no choice but to stop the recording(media frenzy), or try to cater to it for the time, maybe sway off.
or not be noticed so much...
 
My mom and I were like in a rage-
Suze I guess has some show where this 70 yr old woman called in and said she had 700k in the bank and said she she lies awake at night scared she doesn't have enough money for her retirement. And Suze Orman yelled at he lady saying "The fact that you are lying awake at night is PROOF you don't have enough money"

hahahaha poor little old lady!!! My mom was like "I hated her from that moment on, that poor little old lady could have had a heart attack"


ANYWAY =D
Enough of my ranting about this horrid woman.
 
holy shit, i know who ellen, oprah, and nadya is, but not never heard of suze orman nor did i watch the episode (don't watch those types of shows honestly hahaha. My god though, poor Nadya ): after your explanation of the show and what suze orman was saying, i was in total disbelief and awe.....i can't believe someone on national television who is supposed to remain unbiased and respectful would say such hurtful things to a woman going through such a struggle. You'd think she'd have some heart, and oprah?! MY GOD! i can't believe she joined in on it, she seems so nice.

I'm with you though ocean, does she have a babysitter or someone watching the kids though while she's out working out in the middle of the night though? maybe that's why suze tried overdramatizing the situation because she didn't do enough research like a true reporter is supposed to do.

Yeah the Nadya woman had someone watching the kids in the middle of the night.
It was just a weird weird situation.
Felt so bad for her........
 
*You Tubing Oprah/Nadya*

Hmmmm...The whole debacle smells bad...I think media whoring with regard to this is the whole issue, I think that's what Nadya is buying in to, she could choose not to go on tv. I do feel sorry for her in some respects but I think she is as manipulative as the media in this case.:\
I know the 'I told ya so approach' is kind of redundant but she made her choices. I dont think its fair for an Adult to have that many kids and not be able to look after them...she obviously has issues but gambling with lil ones lives is just ridiculous and cruel. I dunno...its easy to observe these things and judge them...
That Doc who did the IVF should be struck off the register though! >:/

Im short a few quid and struggling with my rent, I might give Oprah a wee phone call! ;)

Well around here it's hard to maintain when there's 50+ personalitys.. That's why I'm trying my hardest to show patience, and at least tolerance with others.. the love comes when I see others grow in their recovery.. Not saying I don't love them..
 
^I hear ya D's, just best to focus on yourself though and not get too enmeshed in others personalities(easier said than done but...8)) got to let people do their thing regardless...
 
I am happier when it rains

Its getting to the point where I notice my happiness levels fluctuate according to the day's weather. When it rains I noticed I am more uplifted and motivated. When it;s a sunny nice day I feel lazy, and usually smoke weed all day. Anyone else have this weird feeling according to the weather??? I know many people's moods change when the weather switches. I feel that I am opposite. Anyway, not a depressing thread I just find this strangeness in myself.%)

I have a terrible time feeling sorry for Octomom. I cannot imagine what would possess someone to have 14 children via IVF. However, I do agree that Oprah was exploitative and Suze is a nasty human being. I hope that Octomom is not a failure as a parent. She is intelligent and articulate and hasn't compromised her principles by putting her kids on a reality show, for which I have to give her some credit. I wish her and all 14 of her kids only the best. She got an offer also to do porn for $1M, which she did not take. I have nothing against the adult industry; I certainly don't think it's compatible with being the mother of 14 kids!

Suze is not the financial crackshot that she claims to be. I think she has a BA in social work or something, which is fine and dandy, but financial training is a must. Her advice is not all that sophisticated and her knowledge of wills and trusts is just... embarrassing. How she had so many bestsellers is beyond my comprehension. Kind of like Dr. Laura (oh, there is not enough bandwidth on this site for me to rant about that horrible excuse for a human being).

Glad you wrote to the show. People should speak their minds about this sort of thing more often.

Why Suze Orman Sucks But I Still Watch Her Show

I don't watch her show. Or Oprah. There's an unauthorized biography out on Oprah; might pick that up in the near future if I'm feeling masochistic. :D

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone. May the luck of the Irish be with us all!
 
^I do feel sorry for her.

There is something really wrong with my brain!! :D
I ALWAYS forget what day it is, what YEAR, what month-
Like every single day I think it is another day!
Yesterday I KNEW it was Weds- but hours later I thought it was Thursday and posted about it being Thursday- I did the same thing last week thinking Thursday was Weds.
What'd up with that?
