How can you be annoyed about Jermaine when LaToya is obviously far more deserving of your nausea?? Have you seen her talking about getting “ghost whisperer” skillz all-a-sudden and has been talking to MJ from the beyond? GAH!!

I’m thankful to live in Australia where J&K aren’t known or cared about.

Except for the Amazing Race, I don’t watch reality TV. I didn’t even know Jon and Kate Plus 8 was a show until they started having problems. It is kind of hard to avoid news of them. I don’t watch celebrity news shows or any talk shows. We prefer PBS, The History Channel, even The Weather Channel is preferable to what is on much of TV today. How “real” can a show be with cameras in your face?

Julia, we’ve got the best of the best here, don’t we? Mt. Oly rules. That’s all there is to it.

And yes, what’s UP with these ‘gotta be famous at all cost’ people? Didn’t any of them read F. Scott Fitzgerald when they were in college? Don’t they know the soul-damaging dangers of instant fame and fortune?

Ok, that’s out there but I was helping my daughter with a paper for her college lit class and that was the topic. Honestly, I don’t want to be famous. I just want to have enough to live healthy, buy some books now and then, and go on a fam vacation once in a while.

Seriously, who would WANT all of those cameras following you everywhere and critiquing your hair and clothes and what not? Not me! Sheesh!

Fame has a cost and it’s pretty hefty.

For those of you offering condolences for my sister, they are very much appreciated, as they have been since her death on this site. This is such a wonderful, caring group of people! I know I won’t see any of you exploiting your children for fame and fortune!

on the up side of that horrendous teacher, I remember a girl named Leah, who sat beside me. When the teacher held up my letter, which I had colored around the margins, and showed the class what a mess it was and how horrible I was, she said, “I thought your letter was pretty.” I will never ever forget Leah. Kindness wins again!

Needless to say, I did not go on to be a famous artist, hahahaha.

Claudia, when my now 51 year-old daughter was a kid, she wanted to be famous. Her sole goal for a long time. I was forever pointing out she needed some sort of talent. Like acting, dancing, singing, writing or such. To no avail. I offered her classes in all those things, but she wasn’t interested. I think she was sorry to have passed on those things when she tried out to be a Houston Oiler cheerleader 2-3 times and didn’t make the cut.

Now, I guess she was way ahead of her time. LOL

Julia your second grade teacher was a piss poor example of educators who obviously didn’t get enough hugs as a child, (probably because she was a witch back then too.) Art is in the eye of the beholder. You could have done the famous work by Jimsey Carol, titled, The Fart. (Jimsey was a class favorite in the first grade art world), and you still should not have had it held up in front of the classroom.

Claudia…I blame it all on Paris Hilton, and Beverly Hills 90210…and on Twilight. (I actually like Twilight, but…honestly with this much hoopla going on about it it has to be causing some sort of issues.)

The young boy’s name was Alex Barton and if you google Kindergarten Student Voted Out you can see the main story. It’s sickening and the teacher was put on unpaid suspension (she’s coming off of it now). Google recent news on him and you will get the follow up. It was a story that really upset me so I’ve been keeping an eye out to see what the developments were on the case were.

Hearing about the fact he is now an honor student did my heart good. I was doubting humanity when I read about it.

Ann…. eeeewww.. really? She has a crush on him??? I dont’ get it.

Pesky, I had no idea about that story. I hope that teacher got her a$$ fired and won’t work anywhere EVER again.
