15 Minutes of Fame....And a Request for Your Input.

Judge Greg Mathis. I would have to say that this is the reality show judge (and I use the term Judge loosely) that dredges in the lowest of the lowest in "court" cases.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Plaintiff-"Judge",

(OK, stop right there. In court I believe the correct way to address the judge is Your Honor, Sir, or even Judge Mathis, but not just Judge....at least not in Virginia. Things may be different in Detroit or California).

Anyway...

Plaintiff- "Judge, I was in love with the defendant. She was a wonderful woman. We both have strong Christian values. We felt a strong attraction but we abstained from any sort of "physical relationship" (I changed his exact wording there) because of our relationship with God."
"We got married in about a year and things went fine for a while but then she started to have problems with my use of Crack.".

Judge- "Let me get this straight. Your Christian values prevented you from a physical relationship (yes,Ii changed the wording again), but you had no problem passing around the Crack Pipe?".

blah blah blah blah blah

Plaintiff- "We ended up getting divorced but we are still friends and still have a physical relationship.".

blah blah blah blah

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ok, here's my question. I would love to receive your comments on this from a Biblical view.

First of all, obviously the Bible makes no secret of the laws of God regarding pre-marital sex. no question there.

I am not as well versed with my Bible as many of you. I know there are negative verses regarding drinking and I believe there are negative verses regarding certain drugs.

Question- Although it is illegal, immoral, dangerous and wrong....is smoking crack a sin?

STOP RIGHT THERE! I am in no way considering taking up such a habit....(had to get that straight immediately). I am just curious and I know that there are quite a few of my readers that will have much more insight on this than I do.

Question- I know the Bible frowns on divorce but is it a sin? (Quick Thank You God For Forgiveness). Also, what about having a physical relationship with the EX, AFTER the divorce? ALSO, if divorce IS a sin, then would a physical relationship, with an ex, still be considered being with your husband or wife?

Question- If you remarry, are you committing adultery?

I'm pretty sure (though not completely sure....because I am seldom completely sure on anything), that some of this isn't addressed in the Bible so I'm just wondering your opinions. Although Bible verses to back it up are great too.

AGAIN, I'm not going this route...really, (REALLY, REALLY, REALLY). I'm just curious.
I would love your input.

After all, Monkeys Can't ALWAYS be Funny. Sometimes they are just curious.
(Good thing Cats aren't funny. You know what curiously does to them!).

15 Minutes of Fame

Well, you know that when my back is hurting I spend a large part of the day staring at the tv. I know I've talked about the wonderful shows (NOT) that come on during the late night hours, but the daytime ones are just as, um, thrilling.

I guess people can't get enough court tv all night because it comes on all day also. I was watching Judge Alex the other day and this couple was telling every deep dark secret they ever had to millions of viewers...well, maybe thousands.

It went something like this:

Her-All I wanted was for him to go with me to my daddy's birthday party.

Him-Judge, I was busy. I work all week and that was my only day off. I had a lot to do. I tell you, I was busy! You know what I'm saying?

Judge- Well, no, not exactly.What were you so busy doing that you couldn't go to her daddy's party?

Him-Judge I was busy.

Judge- Yeah, I got that. Busy doing what?

Him- I was...uh.Judge,you know....uh..um, Judge you know.....I was reading!

(I guess you had to see them to get how completely ridiculous that statement was.)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

another conversation:

Her-I pull up to my parking space and there is a strange car parked there..in MY space! I never SEEN that car. I didn't KNOW that car. I had never been intro to the owner of that car...but there it was. Just sitting in MY space, just like it belonged there.

More Her-So I walk in MY house and find some strange woman laying there rubbing his back. I didn't know that woman. I never seen that woman before that day. I was never introduced to that woman. I never sent out an invitation to that woman, but there she was!

Judge- (to the man) Do you have a response to that?

Him-Judge, I was as surprised as SHE was!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

HHmmmm I wonder if Judge Alex has a blog?

15 Minutes of Fame

Have any of you noticed that you can have can get on tv now for almost anything?

I'm one of those people that leaves my tv on most of the time when I'm home. I don't really watch it. I just like the background noise. Sometimes when it is too quiet, my thoughts go crazy (imagine that).

Well, because I've been laid up recently, I've actually "watched" more tv than usual. Things that people used to be embarrassed about are now things that people will go on tv and show the world.

The other night I couldn't sleep. I was trying to find something interesting on tv. With cable tv and 60 plus channels, you would think there would be SOMETHING interesting to watch.....NOT.

In the middle of the night, there are about 3 choices:

1. Have your credit card handy.
2. Court TV
3. Somebody's 15 Minutes of Fame Show.

Here's a Recap of those shows:

1. Have your credit card handy- Billy Mayes (RIP) was cool. So fun to watch AND he made ANYTHING look like it was something you just couldn't live without......especially if you ordered immediately because you then would get TWO, not one but TWO for the same low price of $19.99 +S&H.

BUT, if I put my bath robe on backwards, I can already feel like I have a Snuggie.

A Slap Chop would end up on the shelf in my laundry room next to my Quik Chop.

I don't believe I can lose inches in just 2 weeks by pulling on a giant rubber band.

AND I am quite sure that rubbing an oval shaped emery board over my legs will not make my legs hair free for weeks.

CHANGE CHANNEL

2. Court TV- If you ever want to sue your neighbor, friend, enemy, ex boyfriend/girlfriend, ex husband/wife, mother, father, aunt, uncle, sister, brother, daughter, son, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, pastor, mechanic, lover, ex-lover, ex-lover's girlfriend, ex-lover's boyfriend, ex-lover's girlfriend AND boyfriend, or the random person walking down the street.....be sure to do it on tv.

You can go see Judge Judy, Judge Alex, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Hatchett, Judge Mathis, Judge Karen, Judge Jeanne Pirro, Divorce Court, Peoples Court, Open Court, and that guy that wears the cowboy hat (can't remember his name).

So what if you were dumb enough to bail them out of jail twice, buy them a new Playstation, put their rent-a-car or cell phone in your name, or send them money even though you only met them over the internet, then go ahead and sue them. Please be sure to do it on television so we can ALL hear about your bedroom and drug habits too. And PLEASE don't forget to ask for the extra money for pain, suffering and emotional distress.

CHANGE CHANNEL

3. Somebody's 15 minutes of Fame Show- This is the worst yet. I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down (in one sitting) all the "15 minutes of Fame" shows that I saw on the tv guide channel.

My Super Sixteen
Sixteen and Pregnant
Maternity Ward
Bringing Home Baby
Intervention
Clean House
Nanny 911
Wife Swap
World's Strictest Parents
Cheaters
Little People Big World
My First Place
How DO I Look?
Fat Pets
It's Me or The Dog
Extreme Makeover
My Parents House
Date My Mom
Next
I Love New York
Cash Cab
Real Housewives of Orange County
....

Maybe I'll make my own show. I'll call it, "I Hurt my Back, Watched too much TV and my House is a Wreck". Then after that show runs its course, I'll go on court tv and sue Kings Dominion because I hurt my back----even though there WAS a sign posted at every ride. Just think! With all the money I win, I can then go and buy a Slap Chop. I wonder if it doesn't work, if I can sue....
