I think Tracey is crazy, but I lost is when she said "This isn't kindergarten. It's not like I stole your crayons or something!" when everyone was sobbinbg about the teams being split up! I will give her props she knows how to play the game. That is why she is there and she makes no bones about it! Saying all that I still can't stand her or for that matter Shay, Rebecca or Amanda..all they do is cry and bit@h! My fave is Abby! Then Daniel.

Oh Tracey makes me sick. She is nuts. I just want to know how she lost 4 without working out! I bet she would go up and down the stairs at the house saying it was just a normal part of her day. I don't care for the pink team either. There is just something about them..a little to bitchy as far as I am concerned. I still like Daniel and I like the green team. Becky

I agree with everyone about Tracey. Wow, what a piece of work! She is just plain crazy! She will be gone soon...next week hopefully!! I don't like the Pink team either. Something about those 2 just makes me nuts! I don't have a fave right now.

Ya momma's so fat the farmer mistook her for part of the herd.

Here in Tennessee we had something similar to the health care reform that Obama is wanting to pass. It was called TennCare. The cost was astromomical. The state is broke despite the 9.75% sales tax we are charged on everything we buy. Our sales tax was raised to help pay for TennCare. Our dem gov Phil Bredesen who by the way was a health care exec said that we as a nation CAN NOT afford this to pass the way it is drafted now. TennCare is no longer in existence. The rolls of recipients have been cut and the program pared down. (TennCare was drafted by a rep gov Don Sundquist and a dem Gov Ned Ray McWorter. So this is not to say it is one parties fault or the other. Both are responsible for the mess we are in now!) And yes Bredesen was and still is a big supporter of Obama! If people who work in the health care industry are saying that the cost is not sustainable don't you think we need to listen to them? This should not be Dem vs Repubs. Last time I checked it was United States of America not United States of Dems or United States of Repubs. If we can't afford it we can't afford it despite who is in office at the moment.

Because they are so un-PC!!

Ya momma's so fat the circus called and asked her to sub for one of the elephants!

I am all for everyone having health care, but why are we rushing this. Can't we pay for what the hell we have charged up before we add to it. (or at least most of it) Work the kinks out of this (and I am sure there are some) and then bring it back to us. Hell why not get a cross section of the country and ask them what they want and need..not what you think we need. I know..I know..very naive. I get very leery of things when they are rushed. I feel like I am not getting the whole truth. I think this is how the country is feeling right now.

I just worry that if it sounds good most buy into it without really looking deeper into what we are hearing. I call it the "pied piper" mentality. It is on both sides of the aisles. It happened under Clinton, Bush I and II and now under Obama. Doesn’t matter what party or what name you want to put on it. There is a cost for everything that the Government does. The question is can we afford it? What are we going to have to give up?

What worries me is how most of the people in this country are not batting an eye that we are slowly losing our rights. Pretty soon the government will be make all of our decisions for us. This has been happening for years so slowly that we haven't really noticed. Doesn't this scare any of y'all?

A friend of mine just went to trade her Ford van in and was told that even though the van is eligible she is unable to trade because she still owes on the van. She owes $1500 and would have recieved $4500. That is just part of the "fine print" that we are not being told about. The way this was advertised was if it was registered to you and was insured for over a year it could be traded. She had even researched the program on line and no where was that even mentioned.

Good Luck Beth! I too am going back to school to finish what I started many many years ago! I was told that I have about 18 months and I will be done with my B.S in Elem Ed. My husband thinks I am nuts to want to still teach..lol.
