As I said, if you want to, go right ahead.

Fair enough.

The rest of your post notwithstanding, I reserve the right to remind you of your kind grant of permission.

Seriously, I don't see any consevative constitutional or philosophical issues at play in this case. It is essentially a "gossip" case. It makes no sense to me that some gossip should be censored and other gossip encouraged. So long as it is within FR posting guidelines, what's the fuss?

One person can post how horrible he/she thinks Amber is, another can post how wonderful he/she thinks Amber is. No need for those who are of one persuasion to browbeat those who are of the other.

I do. Now what?

Now I can safely discount almost anything you post on this thread.

You don't?

Perhaps you're paying too much time reading unfounded gossip and not really getting into the meat of the case.

"Printed? In the National Enquirer, the same magazine that posts stories about people having alien babies?"

I was just going to ask you in reply to my post above if you thought the whole Michelle's. husband, Amber story was a lie or just the part about Amber giving a baby shower.

After I saw your posting here, I see you believe the whole thing to be a lie because it was in the National Enquirer.

How would you account for the fact that Amber's father has always been very quick to come out on programs etc; to debunk any stories about Amber, but he has never denied that this happened?

I try to tell my kids that one's past mistakes can come up to bite you

I try to tell my kids "Judge not, lest you be judged."

Or "Let you among us who have not sinned cast the first stone."

>>Could Amber have thought it would please the boy friend? Could she have been trying to show him how clever and special she is?<<

Could have been an attempt to show him she was being nice and thoughtful.

But I doubt it. Supposedly she was taunting poor Mrs. Hart in other ways. This would probably be nothing more than a "funny" and "cute" way to taunt Mrs. Hart some more while looking "sweet" to Michelle's husband.

Geragos told them to "you have anything to say, you come to me and tell me, I'll handle it"..... Sort of statement.... ;o)

[Howlin]

I wouldn't try to explain it at all, since I haven't seen him on TV even once.

[runningbear]

Have to remember, that was done in LA, land of Hollyweird....lol...

Sorry LA, I really like ya, until I hit the I405....;o)

[Jaded]

Heard all that before.

It does make me wonder who is working for whom.

Same here! Amber doesn't have to be a saint, to think Scott's guilty!

>>It looks to me like it could be an Armstrong vinyl flooring solid sheet but made to look like tiles. I kind of remember that look way back when.<<

I have the copy of the NE (I buy them for Grandma in the nursing home---honest!!! LOL). The NE said the kitchen floor is tiled.

Interesting. I've talked to all the recipients ( You know that freepmail thing you discovered works well) and thus far only one received your "apology".

You just know my heart is breaking over you not giving me one. How will I ever get over it? LOL !!!!!

[runningbear]

widen the mouth...LOL...

I had braces done when I was in my early 30's..... They (braces) did the job in less than a yr, but I still wear at least one retainer part time... I had to pay for it, so I make sure I still got my money's worth, and aligned ... ;o)

[runningbear]

It seems like it aye.... ;o)

[runningbear]

I haven't heard yet...

[runningbear]
