I know! What the hell is a neagan and waht does it have to do with Teen Mom?!

Give it time, they're all still pretty young. I hate to say it and I truly hope I'm wrong but I see a lot of problems coming for the kids, especially the younger kids. I see mental health issues, substance abuse and other things in their future. You can't grow up with cameras in your face, stage lighting in your bedroom and every single private moment of your life recorded for entertainment without major problems. Reality TV of this type hasn't been around long enough that we know the effect it will have on kids who grew up this way. Imagine you just started a new job, you go into the break room to try to introduce yourself to your new coworkers and they're watching a video of you naked on a potty seat while your mom takes a picture of your poop. Or Hannah's new boyfriend watches Leah say "Hannah pooped in her underwear". And that's the very least of what those kids have been through. These examples are probably stupid but you get what I mean. Like I said, that's the least of it. Like I said, I truly hope I'm wrong but I don't think these kids are going to have an easy time of it as adults. And it will be all their mothers (and Jon's to a lesser extent) fault. I don't understand why anybody would put their kids on reality TV. I said the same in the Little Couple forum and the posters there about ripped my head off. I think it's horrible to put any kid for any reason on TV like this. I don't watch the show. I was weak and watched about half an hour of the New Orleans episode and that was more than enough for me. I caught little glimpses of Colin in the background, he looked so sad and really thin to me. He always seemed like he was standing back seperate from the other kids. Sorry if my thoughts are all over the place, I had to take a dose of pain medicine tonight and I'm a bit loopy. I hope I made sense.

@isalicat, Louis is beautiful! I adore orange cats. I'm so happy to hear he's adjusting so well and so quickly. He must know he now has a happy, loving forever home.

It's 1:00 in the morning and I'm wide awake. I have both things, it takes me forever to fall asleep and when I finally do I wake up every 90 minutes, give or take. It sucks. I don't think I've slept more than 2 or 3 hours at a time in years. It's been much much worse since my accident. I've also tried everything and nothing helps. Nobody is awake and there's not a damn thing on TV at 3 in the morning, so I either lie here and read or I go to bed and toss and turn for hours. I hate napping so I won't sleep during the day. Every time I take a nap, I wake up really disoriented and I'm sluggish for the rest of the day. I'm just glad I don't have to work anymore. If I had to get up early in the morning, I'd be toast for the whole day. I usually stay in bed until 11 ish then I give up and get out of bed. I REALLY envy people who can lie down and go right to sleep.

Me too!! I'd be willing to pay good money to see that. I don't care for Lost but I find him much easier to take than Kate.

I can't stand Schwarzenegger but I'm really looking forward to it too. I hate Trump with a passion and I watched when he hosted so I can take Arnold. When is the first episode? It seems like it was filmed so long ago. I wonder why there's been such a delay.

What the fuck? indeed! That's so weird to me. I wonder if the grooms men all wore matching camo shorts complete with the telltale ink spot.

I just read something where Leah is already whining about the editing making her look bad and the season hasn't even started yet. She must be worried about some of the things they filmed and is trying to get ahead of it. She must think people are as dumb as she is.

What does Er-ick-a joon mean?

I think she's setting up something like that now, or maybe it's already done. If I remember correctly she got some property in the country for the "lifers".

Lol. I do that all the time. I hadn't seen your post before I said that, I was just going to edit.

I feel bad though. I feel like I'm hurting Petunia's feelings.

When my guy is home we have our own spots. He has the downstairs and I have upstairs. We have our own TVs because we have complete opposite taste in shows. we have a couple of shows we watch together and when he's home Saturday night is movie night and I make some good snacks and we snuggle down and watch movies. And..people think this is so wrong but it works for us, we have our own beds. He used to work nights and the kids and I were on a different schedule so we got used to sleeping alone. We don't always sleep apart but for the most part we prefer sleeping alone. Well, alone with whatever animal sleeps with us that night. TMI but people think we have no, um...intimacies since we have our own beds but that couldn't be farther from the truth. It's not everybody's cup of tea but it all works very well for us. I can't wait for him to be home every night.

I absolutely LOVE this topic but I must say that the U and ur in the title make me cringe. I hate that stuff.

A well placed ice pack might do the trick.

Yay for adopting an older cat!!!! Congratulations @isalicat!!! I adore orange cats. I'm so happy for you and I sincerely thank you for adopting an older boy. Any time I've brought a cat home I just open the carrier and let them decide what they want to do.

My former neighbor who had lived in my old neighborhood since it had been built told me that a woman named Darlene had committed suicide in the hallway of my house. They found her lying in the third bedroom doorway. She told me all of this without knowing that I had a spirit in my house that I'd named Darlene. Our TVs would turn off all the time, she never turned them on but she turned them off a lot. I would hear somebody walking in the hallway at night when everybody was asleep. I was never scared of her at all. I once thanked her for letting us live in her house and I told her that as long as she was nice it would be ok for her to stay. See? That's why people think I'm crazy!! I talked to what I thought was a ghost like she was a real person. I completely believe in this sort of thing but I don't talk about it with my real life people because they'll think I'm crazy.

My Harley had a cyst removed from his side once and his cone was full of duct tape too! He kept slamming it into the sliding glass door because he didn't realize how big it was. This was the last time the Raiders were in the Superbowl so Harley's cone had "GO RAIDERS" written on it.

I'm another one who doesn't understand the "must do everything together at all times" mentality. I love my honey more than life but I wouldn't want to spend every single waking minute all up in his face. We love doing things together but we also love our own space and I think that's ok! We're coming up on our 28th year living together but we wouldn't have lasted 28 days if he expected me to be by his side and do what he's doing all the time. When our family gets together we do our stuff together but we also have no problem if one of us slips away and does our own thing. We all went to my daughter's house for the day on Monday, a couple of us were in the family room, a couple in the garage and I was in my grandson's bedroom playing with his new Christmas train set with the kids. Nobody got bent out of shape about it.

I'm a bad insomniac. My mind starts working overtime as soon as I lay down in bed. I start thinking of all of the things that can go wrong and that leads me to worrying about other things and I'm lucky if I fall asleep before 3 am most nights. I have experienced a few paranormal things. I've mentioned Darlene who was the spirit who lived in my former house. I lost my Chihuahua Baby 2 years ago on Christmas night. She was always on the bed with me and liked sleeping up against my back when I was sitting down. There have been so many nights that I swear I feel her walking across the bed and lying in her favorite spot behind me. The first time I felt it I thought it was my cat but I felt with my foot and the cat was on her blanket at the foot of the bed sleeping. I've felt her little paws walking across the bed, then it stops and I swear on my life that I feel the blanket tighten around me when she lays down. People in my life think I'm insane but I KNOW that she's here.

Matching in a "RAH RAH Porn parade" is much different than judging and looking down on somebody for the legal profession in which they choose to earn a living.

While Patty's only seen the sights a girl can see from Brooklyn Heights.

I don't see the big deal. Both of my grown kids have keys to my house and I would NEVER expect my own children to knock on my door. I want then to come on in anytime. They don't take advantage of it and I would never make my kids knock on my door. They're welcome any time. Still can not stand Amy. She always sounds so smug, insincere and condescending I can't stand to watch her. Blech.

I would NEVER judge somebody for making a porn, which is totally 100% legal. I don't think there's a damn thing wrong with it. Why would you judge somebody for making a legal living in any way they choose?

Ive never seen a family Christmas picture where nobody is smiling. They can't even fake a smile in a picture with their kids on Christmas?
