Tonight was crunch time...an emotional time for them all. Same for "x-factor" also....these times are hard times...they demand we all be "perfect" in an world that's hard to define just what that is.

Before my little neighbor gal died in an feiry automobile crash(accident)...and times were tough between my son and me... for him to be more "perfect"...she came over and she said..you know..I try to be so be good and do the right things and everytime I turn around things seem to be out of my hands on life...My parents think I am thier "failure" in the family. I don' t mean to let them down...it just happens. Her mother said after her death...you know what bothers me the most was she was just beginning to pull her life together an make something of it....seems so unfair .But I am an firm beleiver that there's an reason for everything..evrything we do is part of an lesson to be learned...and hope it's by God's directive that she's in an better place and happier...because he only accepts the better.. life has to offer.

I hope none of the people having to leave these shows think they are "losers"...but rather "learners" in thier life..... for the experience.  If they had never been on at all...we'd never know what talent we have in trying something different. I hope they are not to harsh on themselves for not being "perfect" either....for we are not really meant to judge ourselves...even though we do.

I do hope someday the tv schedules can be arranged so I don't miss out on one show trying to watch the other also.  The commericals seem as long of longer then the entertainment also at times. The only cute one of late is the Clorox commerical of the little ghost that uses the bleach and comes out with an " irrdescent" look it's so bright and white.

What has been an challenge to you.... that you failed at?...share it with us. So we know we are not alone in the world.

I was listening to what they said Maks said on "Good Morning America" about the judge he spoke up to the other night.,...and came to the conclusion he took if so perosnally because the gal he is trainging has been an twice before world championship winner in her field...and we know how much in the sports field these people listne and do what their trainer demand of them. So when they belittle her dancing...they are belittling her trainer...and in this case...he felt the need to say he was also an professional knowing what he does from being years in the dancing field himself. they were having words that night amoung the judges in "X-factor" also for some reason. WEll, maybe it's nice to know that astrology wise with the stars...Mars will be leaving Leo and go into Virgo...but then again...Virgo can be pretty "picking" as it pulls apart and examiines things. They boo that judge whenever he says something that isn't delightful to hear about the dancers...and has ever since I watched the show last year. I do beleive we need some temperance here. We have indeed put the reins of society into the hands of the next generation....and look at what an mess it is right now also. Protests going on all over...they should not blame the old folks as to not knowing what they are doing sometimes...unless they can find an better answer..

Been watching the same two shows, Shirley. It is hard with everything on at the same time. I try to DVR some so I can watch DWTS live. I saw the argument between Len and Maks. I always liked Maks, but felt he was too disrespectful that night when he said maybe it was time Len got out of the business and that it was "his" show. The judges are there to judge and their dance was not particularly good.

Yes, they say that most people lash out with others in words of how they feel their own situation is...not the person they use the woedage on sometimes. Tough world out there these days...being "perfect" is not easy.

I like to listen to "coasttocoast" also nightly and I went into turn on my radio as Dave Ramsey was finsihing his economics radio talk show that tries to help people get out of debt. This man came on and

started our very calm of what his situation was. His little boy was told he had cancer..he's in his fourth bone marrow transplant...but then the guy broke down and cried. Telling how he'd always done everyhting the right way to save money and with the cancer treatments he'd ran out of money. It was so sad...you know beingintutive myself..I get to know the feelings of people first handand it was all I could do not to cry myself last night...I took it to prayer for someone to help this man. He had already filed bankrupcy before. He was losing his house. Dave calmed him down and explained that he understood the emotional breakdowns of trying to cope with the cancer... let alone the finanancial situation. He didn't let him go, as he ended the show..he said he would stay with him and try to help him...that maybe he could borrow money against his house until he could raise money to pay for the treaments in another way. I wish they'd given his name out...as I'm sure people listening would of offered an donation of some kind. It takes an lot of people giving just an little bit sometimes on these huge medical bills. I have not felt the "hopelessnes" this guy had for some time...felt an lot of anger going on for the economy right now...but not just total helplessness from anyone. We could use some coming together these days to help each other also....not make life so tough for each other. Hope my prayers are answered.

I hope they are, too, Shirley. Such a sad situation that man is in, but I'm afraid there's a lot more people like him. We do need to come together to help each other out, not make it more difficult for everyone with all the fighting and name calling that goes in politics and everywhere else these days.
