come on jess, you may not wear the big Texas hairdo over there in the Piney woods but you know what I'm talking about! there are more women here in Texas with big elaborate hairdoes than any other region that I have visited. y'all outside of Texas just thought that Lureen's big bleached hair was just Lureen back in 1983, naw, Ang Lee got it right, just come to Dallas and walk around a mall and look at the women's hair, you'll see what I mean.

That's still a "B"!! But I bet you are accustomed to getting "A's".  ;) I was an A/B student who didn't sweat a B. I have kids in class who are stressed to the max about getting 100's -- and it's not even their parents sometimes. Some of the kids are just extremely self-motivated. I really wish I'd been more like that when I was their age.

I channel surf between FOX, CNN, and MSNBC. And I hear radio news on my way to and from work.

(I really like "Extended Stay" on MSNBC. It's about prisons. Not news--just documentary.)

I also read the news on the MSN homepage sometimes.

Anyway---my 8/10 is so rare. I must have been listening better this week.  :P

Melissa (Snuit) told me I should watch Space Buddies when I feel nervous. I'll probably try it the next time. I think a movie about cute puppies is just the medicine I need when it happens. :)

I missed 8 and 9.  I saw the story about 9 but I forgot the detail they asked for, but somehow I completely missed the story about 8.  And that's too bad.  That sounds like a fun story.   :D  I'll have to look that up.

Yeah. She needs $54,000 a week to cover her expenses?!!! That's some high on the hog lifestyle!! I didn't see that story either---just guessed right.

Like you---I did see the #9 story and also forgot the "where". I think I just looked at the pictures.  ;D  :D

8/10---YaY!! Very good!!

Gary made me curious, so I looked up the lady's expenses. (She is 36; he is 67--married since 2002)

Douglas-David has filed court papers showing she has more than $53,800 in weekly expenses, including for maintaining a Park Avenue apartment and three residences in **. Her weekly expenses also include $700 for limousine service, $4,500 for clothes, $1,000 for hair and skin treatments, $1,500 for restaurants and entertainment, and $8,000 for travel.

At that rate, Douglas-David would burn through $43 million in less than 16 years.


 :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  I might suggest that she downsize a little if she can't make it on $43 million. (No kids.)

LOL. Well, let's see......

Pare down to one residence instead of 4.
Walk or take a cab instead of the limo.
Wear the same clothes and shoes you bought last week.
(For a WHOLE season---I know -- horrors!!!)
Do your own hair and skin occasionally.
Cook at home except on weekends.
Stay home more -- one or two vacations a year.

Then she should make it on $43 million easy!!!  :D ;D

Here is a new news quiz. When I started to take it, I expected to miss a lot since I've slept so much this week (bad cold) -- but I knew them all without even guessing. I musta been awake when those 10 were reported.  :P 8)
