Hey M&m
can you believe it- - A rematch from 2007- - Brady has got to want this more than anything. The Pats perfect season was ruined by NY 4 long yrs ago- and I think there are plenty on both teams from that year that will be answering endless questions for 2 weeks- which I hate BTW,they should play next week- but - -
TV$$- Merchandising$$$ Advertising $$$ ...etc,,etc... rules the NFL- -
anyway.Should be a good one
jack
Yeah, it should be quite the match up, Jack. NE is just lucky to be going to this one after yesterday, but the Ravens made two fatal errors and gave it back to us in the end, so I suppose it doesn't matter how they got there, they're going to Indiana and you and I get to yell at our TVs for three hours =)
I agree, they should be playing next week, but $$$ always rules.
I'll be seeing ya, Jack!

Tom Brady is the golden boy quarterback who has the good looks to complement his supreme talents on the football field. He was able to land supermodel Gisele Bundchen as his wife, resulting in most of the male population in the country dying to trade places with him. Despite what he has to offer, married women say theyd prefer to have an affair with Giants quarterback Eli Manning.
56% of women polled on the Ashley Madison website say theyd rather have an affair with Eli because of his boy next door looks. They say Eli would be less of a hot head, and believe hed be easier to relate to.
There was also a homefield advantage for each quarterback: 86% of New York women stood by Eli, while 97% of Boston women chose Brady.
This poll is pretty hard to believe. Who are these ladies that defy conventional logic by choosing Eli? Or does cheating on your husband do something strange to ones mind?

Well,Jack, here's what I think, for what it's worth...
I was once engaged to an incredibly handsome young man...in fact, so handsome that he was prettier than I was, and that's kinda rough on a girl. With a man that good-looking you feel like you have to be vigilant, other women are shopping him all the time. So a guy like Eli, while 'cute', is easier to hang on to than a guy like Brady who is just superstar handsome.
Like I said, just my two cents...

NY NY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats, Jack...and you too, Jeff. The Giants took that one fair and square...Eli is cool as they come and lots of mistakes to go around for the Pats...I think *everyone* dropped a pass tonight. It was a really exciting game...I'm exhausted...lol.
Well, Belichick and the boys gave us a fun and exciting season...that's more than some cities ever get.
Enjoy the victory and the parade!

Although I was doin' other things besides watching the Super Bowl , my husbut was on it like glue. I thought about you both,MoM and Jack,knowing you were watching the game each in your respective states. It was a good game wasnt it...not a big blowout like some have been...like 40 to 7 like some ridiculous games have been.
Tomorrow is the day,finally,that I take my GD to hopefully start her counseling again. She needs someone to talk to, she be hatin' me ,especially when helping her with homework. She thinks I bug her too much and she tells anyone who will listen that I push her too hard to get good grades. Hell, she is failing every single class!!! Doesnt look like her way is working so well...ya think??? She neglects to remember that the last conversation we had about her grades,about a week ago, I told her I knew she could do better because I have seen her do it,but to at least try to get C's and I would be happy and that she should be too.
She is around adults too much,me and her grandpa, but there isnt alot I can do about it. I cant force her to go outside and play although I do suggest it EVERY DAY/!! This weekend she actually went outside and hung out wth the kids from 2 doors down all day Sat and Sun !!!! Usually she goes out,at my suggestion and prodding and in 20 minutes she's back inside playing her video games.Fortunately the weather has been beautiful and 70 degrees,although it has been windy on and off for the past few weeks.
Now she wants to go out every day at lunch and walk or jog!!! Hurray!!!! I just hope we get lucky and get a counselor that she connects with. She has had so much counseling in the past couple years and some have not been helpful. Plus the fact that she is on the prozac......She remembers to take it every day but whether or not its really helping is the $100.00 question. So...I am crossing my fingers that this will all go in our favor and she will benefit from it. I am also looking into piano and/or guitar lessons. She need to get out more and do more teenage things...Am I wrong???

In a way, yes, you are wrong. YOU think she needs to get out more and she probably does, but forcing the issue will slowly build a wall between you. Now that my daughter is an adult I'll share with you what she has told me about those days when I was doing exactly what you are doing. She told me that all of my prompting to "call someone"..."get outside and do something"..."why not hang out with"..."visit a friend"...ALL of it made her feel like a loser, actually, she said it made her feel like even more of a loser than she already was. My prompting was a constant reminder to her how few friends she had, how difficult social situations were for her, and how really lonely she was. Had I just gone about my business, including her in some of my daily things...watched a movie, cooked something, gone shopping...she would have figured things out in her own time...or not, maybe she would just have grown out of it or gotten to adulthood anyhow.
So while we definitely don't want them completely isolated and absorbed by video games, pushing the social is a reflection more of our fears than of their reality. Sounds like your girl has some big adjusting to handle...let her work through it...she will, in her own way and on her own time with your love to guide her.

Thanks MoM,
I hear myself in what you are saying.
Our appt on the 6th at the counseling center went well,like a 2 hour assessment with a real sweet gal. Asked Amber all kinds of stuff and me on occassion. Today she will present what she thinks to their staff panel and figure out the plan for her and in 5 weeks we will see the psych regarding her meds. She will have counseling(she said she would prefer a man over a woman for counseling) in the time waitin for the psych appt.
On our Sea World trip with the school yesterday her homeroom teacher introduced her to another student and they went all over the park together. We met up every so often and she enjoyed not having to hang out with gramma and grampa because "we're so old!!!" She says that in a joking and loving way all the time but I know she sort of means it because we cant keep up with her sometimes.
A lot of times we are on the same page and get along real well and at other times not so well.Our communication is pretty good because she learned how to communicate correctly when she was at the treatment center. The counseling will be another way for her to learn more of those skills and it will help me to deal with her as well.
I usually do just go about my own business,I invite her to help me cook,we watch TV together almost every night (before I fall asleep)and She likes to go grocery shopping with me sometimes. She has been trying to spend time with the teens 2 doors down from us,one is 16 and the oldest is 17. There are like 6 kids in their family and they do some sort of homeschooling too. I know it will take time and for the most part I know she is happy being here with us and I know not having her mothers inconsistant parenting is so nice & a big plus. She misses her brother too because she says so,but he is in Nevada,about 4 hours away.
Dinner awaits so I will check in later. Thanks for the good words...I need to hear them.
