way to go Drew Carey!... amazing...

now could we just get that girls boobs off the screen... I am SOOOOOOO sick of looking at women's cleavages and boobs on the "NEWS"...

just another indicator that we aren't broadcasting NEWS... we are broadcasting sex and sensationalism mostly... not to take away from Drew Carey because this action of his rocks... just a SAD commentary on the show that sent the cleavage queen.... and on the rest that do the same... to them....PUUUUUUUUUUU

Most of you here know my story: 3 months ago I lost my small photo studio due to the economy, my wife whom I cared for through her chemo treatments, decided she wants a new life with my daughters without me, (savings went to Med bills), will be losing my house very soon, and am looking at being homeless after that. I have no formal education as I dedicated my attention to my trade of photography. Not much call for that these days. So, at 41, I am in a very bad place. I could save myself with a job or a path or an opportunity. Right now I am heading down a path that leads to my destruction. I am terrified. I do have IT skills, but no one is hiring men my age. I had dreams, hopes and aspirations...they all seem like a dream now. I live in a very rural part of TN and I would relocate to any area of the world to start over. If anyone can help or advise or offer...I would be most grateful...really. My email is on my profile here. I have no family to take me in or support me and everyone here is the only family I 'have'. I have never asked for help in my life and the shame I feel for seemingly begging here eats at me daily. I used to be strong...Can anyone help?
