I agree (although I think Danielle will probably be the most successful). She only has one style, and hasn't shown any range. But she has done that style exceedingly well, and obviously people love pretty young blondes and country. But Blake never let her stretch. It would have been interesting to see Danielle on American Idol, where they had to do different genres. People compare her to Carrie Underwood, but I remember Carrie had to do a rock number (Alone) and completely blew it out of the water -- probably why she won. Danielle did a series of country classics one after another. She did them perfectly, but that was it.

agree, all she can do is country - BUT that is what country fans want - they don't like stretch - and she is spot on - will do very well.

They won in the order I thought they should have. Hard to believe that Danielle is only 16! She looked so calm and poised like an old pro who had been on stage thousands of times.

No, she has a 4 yr old nephew. But when he visits, her whole family is usually there. It's like 7 adults to one kid.

I would tell them how challenging it might be to host a family with two little kids. Give them an out. Unless they're infertile and then you might want to say it very diplomatically. But if they're childless by choice, tell them kids can be hard to handle in someone else's house and you don't know that it would be as peaceful a weekend as they might hope. If the issue is that you're afraid it'll be too much for you to handle (with the hard floors, food issues, etc.) then be honest.

First congratulate yourself for having this incredible insight into yourself and seeking to change - many of us dramatic martyrs ;) never realize that we alone are the source of much of much of our misery. Next, take a look at the Five Agreements (easily found on the internet), which I have found to be a very helpful guide to keeping my own emotions and reactions under control. I am indifferent to much of the new age spiritualism that accompanies the Five Agreement, but find the actual advice to be incredibly helpful.

Depends. Our riding trainer wanted to increase dd's lessons to 3x a week at 60 each for a private and 45 for a group. However, dd 11 is passionate. On days she does not have lessons she still makes me drive her straight from school so she can hack around the ring, on Saturdays and Sundays she goes for 6 hours and brings a lunch. If the barn were not closed Mondays, she would go 7 days a week.

I had 15 minute lessons until I was 9, then upped to 30. 30 is plenty - the true learning will come from dds own practice. If she's not into it, making her sit with an instructor for even longer won't make her a better musician.

Maybe you do not understand. In civil suits, ones is not found guilty or not guilty (I am assuming you did not explain the difference between not guilty and innocent), rather the judge or jury can find damages for either party. Maybe she should be a criminal defense lawyer.

My DH stops breathing many, many times per night. If I'm stil awake, I sometimes rub his chest to get him to start breathing again. Is sleep less restful if you stop breathing? He typically doesn't feel rested unless he sleeps 9 hours or more, and would like to get by with eight.

Not fake. Beet and song are in park slope and I work in East Village where I frequent Klong and Spice. BF lives in Williamsburg so we often go to Sea... Actually I realized I forgot two others that I go to occasionally.
Op is kind of right because they are all exactly the same.
