Publishers WeeklyIn a book aimed at stalwart astrology devotees, noted practitioner Spiller (New Moon Astrology) offers a detailed new study using a reader's "North Node" as a jumping-off point for finding and keeping healthy love relationships. Each individual star sign is vetted for its strengths and limitations in intimate relationships, particularly romance, and further chapters look at the houses ("When your North Node is in their 1st House, you are bringing them the gifts of...") and the aspects ("Navigating the Energy of Past Life Connections"). Those new to astrology may be lost frequently; Spiller assumes much about her audience, from a familiarity with general principles to a belief in reincarnation ("Cancer North Node people are usually out of touch with their feelings due to many lifetimes of being responsible for caretaking others"). Still, true believers should find Spiller's sign profiles detailed, practical and long on common sense ideas for improving one's own relationship skills and supporting that development in others.

WILKES-BARRE — Dave Temarantz has tried nearly every aspect of cycling.
"I've raced it since I was a kid," he said. "I've been BMX racing since the '80s and ventured into freestyle riding and then into mountain biking, road cycling, everything."
"The only thing I don't do personally is ride a unicycle," he added with a laugh.
The enthusiasm that Temarantz, 41, of Kingston, shares with customers inside Valley Cycles, 667 N. River St., Plains Township, is seen in other shop owners in Luzerne County, including some with cycling roots planted about 70 years ago.
Kingston resident Tom Jones' family history is closely linked the area's bike shops. His uncle, Leo Sickler, started Sickler's as an automobile tire store in 1933. The shop entered the bicycle business in the 1940s, and Jones' grandfather, Loren Sickler, helped run the business with his older brother Leo in the 1950s.
"I grew up learning and working with them," he said.
Jones is now co-owner of Around Town Bicycles, 59 N. Main St., Wilkes-Barre, with Rich Adams, of Swoyersville. The shop recently started its 10th year, and business has picked up over the last two weeks after a late break in the winter weather.
Louie Colarusso, 26, of West Pittston, began working at Sickler's Bike and Sport Shop about 10 years ago. The bike technician and jack-of-all-trades at the Exeter store, 1069 Wyoming Ave., said the area goes on a sort of roller coaster ride in terms of interest in cycling.
"We're coming out of a valley. We're definitely on an incline and growing," he said. "There are more bike shops in the area than there ever have been. Competition has gone up, and customers have more variety and more options."
Events open sport
Shop owners and managers have taken notice of the need to nurture the cycling community by creating their own riding events.
One popular trek organized by Around Town Bicycles is an indication of how diverse area cyclists are.
"We will have 50 people show up on our Saturday ride. It won't be the same 50 people every week. The faces change, so that tells me that our riding group is very deep," Jones said.
Saturday riders come from Scranton, Weatherly, Blakley, Tunkhannock, and even as far as Bloomsburg on occasion for the 8 a.m. start. The group often includes a 12-year-old cyclist, some in their 70s, and one in his 80s.
By taking on a leadership role and hosting regular rides, Temarantz is also trying to bring more cyclists to the tight-knit community.
"There are about five rides that we actually lead per week," he said. "Every week, there's another rider."
Temarantz said he attracts new riders by maintaining a slower pace during his events, where he also addresses cyclist etiquette.
"I was a street rider, BMX kid, jumping on people's walls. I was unruly on the sidewalks. People were in my way, but really they're not," he recalled. He's now focused on educating riders on signaling, passing and other respectful rules.
Sickler's Exeter store manager, Phil Cable, 44, of Exeter, has leveraged the Internet to unite riders. He maintains www.upstatevelo.com as a forum for cyclists to share their routes.
On the same team
Cable noted that several families this year have already come in to Sickler's to purchase road bikes for kids around age 12. That's a relatively new trend that he's excited to see as a parent.
"I noticed that there's kind of a hole in the age group riding. We're starting to see that fill back in with more 20-somethings riding," he added.
The co-ed sport is on the uptick, according to several owners and workers. Temarantz said he has seen a widespread crowd each weekend at Cedar BMX Park in Clarks Summit.
"I think it's growing, definitely, and it's growing in a positive light, because when I go up there I see kids taking off their soccer cleats. They're still wearing some of their other sport. It's not that they're giving up other sports. They are adding this," he said.
The secret to the success, said Temarantz, is inclusion.
"Everybody can do it. There's no bench. If you're the slowest guy, you're in the back. If you're the fastest guy, you're in the front," he said. "It doesn't discriminate to how good you are. You don't have to make the team."
Riders often find shared interests off the bike, too.
"The nice thing that we've seen is that a lot of the cyclists that have met through biking have another common interest," Jones said. "A lot of friendships have developed. They like to go out, they're having dinner together or going to a movie. There's definitely a social aspect."
Temarantz sees the chance to collaborate with other owners to continue the boost to the cycling community. He said, for example, that he's purchased three handmade bicycles from Adams over a lifetime customer of the valley's cycle shops.
"I want to create my own clientele here," he said. "I don't want to take anyone else's customers.
"If anybody wants the community to grow more than me, I'd be amazed. That's not a business thing, either. I just love it."

Ace Rothstein: You guys have to be kidding. Adjourned? What do you mean, adjourned? Mr. Chairman, Senator, you promised me a hearing! You won't allow me a hearing? You didn't even look at the FBI reports. When you were my guest, Mr. Chairman, Senator, at the Tangiers Hotel, did you not promise me that I would have a fair hearing...
Senator: I was never - I was never your guest at the Tangiers.
Ace Rothstein: You were never my guest? I never comped you? I don't comp you at least two or three times a month at the Tangiers?
Senator: [Into the microphone] I'd like to answer that at this time. Mr Rothstein is being very typical to this point. He's lying. The only time I was at the Tangiers was when I had dinner with Barney Greenstein.
Ace Rothstein: Was I at that dinner? Just tell me...

Audit: Doctors Owe Taxes for Free Drugs
By Jeff Mills, News & Record, Greensboro, N.C.
Jun. 21–GREENSBORO — You know those free boxes of medicine samples you sometimes get at the doctor's office?
Turns out, they're not so free for the doctor.
The Guilford County Tax Department billed Greensboro-based Eagle Physicians and Associates for unpaid taxes Thursday after an audit last spring revealed the group's doctors didn't list free drug samples on their tax returns from 2003 to 2007.
The bill isn't huge, but it has to be paid, said Francis Kinlaw, Guilford County's tax director.
"This is a very small portion of (Eagle's) tax obligation. It's far less than 10 percent of their tax liability," Kinlaw said. "The only thing I could do would be to purposely ignore a state law that applies to all counties in North Carolina."
That won't happen, Kinlaw said.
"Our department is simply in a situation where we have a state law, and we're responsible for conducting ourselves under the law," he said. "As long as it's law, we really don't have any option."
The law was news to Eagle and its accountants at Sharrard, McGee & Co. The doctors group is disputing the bill.
"Per physician, it's not a big impact. It's the principle," said Fran Sembert, Eagle's director of managed care. "Our CPAs have a number of medical firms they do this for, and they knew nothing about this portion of the law.
"We're asking for clarification and direction. If it's there, show it to us. If it's not, then this needs to go away."
At issue is what, exactly, the free pharmaceuticals are.
A directive issued May 26, 2006, by the N.C. Department of Revenue says because the medicines are not for sale, they are not considered inventory — which is tax exempt.
Instead, the drugs are considered to be office supplies. That makes them personal property of the medical office and subject to taxation.
"It affects every practice that has samples, which effectively means every single one of them," Sembert said. "A lot of physicians are running scared. They don't want to keep samples in the office if they're going to pay taxes for them."
Eagle operates 13 practices in Guilford County and employs 64 doctors. Every one of them is affected by this audit, Sembert said.
There are 33 pages of listings for "Physicians and Surgeons" in the Greater Greensboro Yellow Pages.
Attempts to get doctors from other practices to talk about free sample medicines were not successful Friday.
"I'm sure the word has gotten around the medical community. We will be conducting future audits," Kinlaw said. "I don't know how common (free drug samples) would be. But if we know free drug samples are on hand, we're obligated to tax them."
Kinlaw said Eagle was not singled out for an audit.
"We audit, periodically, all kinds of businesses. It's random," he said. "We don't audit medical practices one year, and service stations the next. … We try to audit businesses in Guilford County every five years. I might add that in dollar figures, compared to some audits, this was not a big discovery."
The money figure is low because the law applies only to supplies the doctor's offices had on hand Jan. 1 of the audit years.
The money is not the point, Sembert said.
"We have not received the bill yet, but we have an idea of what it will be," she said. "Per physician it's not a big deal. It's the principle of the whole audit.
"I'd say most practices do (dispense free samples). We keep them on hand because it's a huge benefit to our elderly patients or uninsured patients who really have a hard time paying for medicine. Prescription drugs are expensive. These (samples) are life-saving drugs to a lot of patients."

Thousands of older people - like 77 year old Anacleta - have had their lives devastated by Typhoon Haiyan. Too frail to reach aid centres. No home. Nowhere to go. They are at risk.
Age International is currently delivering food, shelter and essential supplies directly to older people hit by the typhoon. We need your help to reach more. You can make sure older people are not forgotten.
We are the only UK charity to specifically focus on the needs and rights of older people in emergencies in developing countries. Older people are most likely to be pushed aside in the scramble for food or aid - they are often the most vulnerable but often the most forgotten. We work to make sure that older people in emergencies are never forgotten.
"There are no structures standing. It was like a tsunami... I don't know how to describe what I saw. It's horrific." - Mar Roxas, the Philippines
Super-typhoon Haiyan crashed into the Philippines in the early hours of 8 November. It was the deadliest storm to ever make landfall, anywhere in the world.
Now, hundreds of thousands of older people are homeless and incredibly vulnerable. Although we have already helped thousands of older people affected by the typhoon, the scale of the disaster was enormous, and so many more still need our help. Please help now.
Older women and men are the ones least able to flee quickly and the ones most likely to need support in a disaster.
Frail older people cannot run; they cannot carry possessions – such as blankets and clothes to keep themselves warm and dry. They cannot queue for long periods for aid. They cannot rebuild their homes alone.
They need specialist attention during emergencies – but in reality, they are often forgotten, overlooked and invisible.
Right now, we are on the ground in the Philippines, working closely with our overseas partners HelpAge and the Coalition of Services of the Elderly (COSE) to help older people begin to re-build their lives:
- Our food packs in plastic bags are easily opened by older people and easy to carry home
- We have set up 'express lines' for people over 60 who can't stand for long periods, when we distribute aid
- Our cash transfers are helping older people who live in the rubble of their homes, to re-build
- We have organised support for extremely vulnerable and traumatised older people
But so much more needs to be done.
Please donate to our Haiyan Typhoon Appeal now - so we can continue to support older people. Don't let them be forgotten.
Any income not spent after twelve months after the appeal launch may be allocated to another emergency situation that requires our support.
We are Age International – the only UK charity working for and with older people in developing countries, and part of a global network, HelpAge.'Age International' is a restricted fund of Age UK (registered charity No.1128267), set up to support the work of Age International (registered charity No. 1128267-8), Age Uk's charitable subsidiary.

This is the worst shampoo I've ever used. My hair felt disgusting and chemically when I applied it and it caused my scalp to react and become red and flakey. It gave my hair zero benefits and just left me with dry hair and an itchy scalp. Do not buy this.

For those of you who care about the health of your hair DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT.
Check out the ingredients, on the first ones is sodium chloride (aka salt).
This not only dries out your hair, but it severely damages it.
I used it for a while until I realized what it was doing to my hair, by hair begin splitting extremely bad.
All shampoo's with salt will damage your hair, so be careful and read the ingredients before buying.

As soon as I ran this through my hair in the shower, I knew something was scary wrong. I had traumatic flashbacks of using my grandmother's shampoo that she gave to me because she didn't like for some reason - the shampoo that made my hair feel like tacky glue for the next few days even when washed out with normal shampoo. This shampoo immediately reminded me of that awful experience as soon as I put it in, but I ran the risk for you guys and gave it a good scrub and rinse. It turns out this shampoo is a lot like the one from long ago. It makes your hair feel oddly tacky to the touch and covered with a thick film of sealant. It wasn't a remedy for my split ends - it was essentially duct taping all of my follicles together with a greasy seal. I had to go back into the shower and use my regular shampoo to get rid of the film. My hair would not even brush properly or style with it. That's what I get for buying a cheap split end shampoo! Well, at least the price is reasonable.

When I saw this advertised on TV my first thought was: 'A shampoo that can help to combat and even reduce split ends? Surely not!' Which was quickly followed by 'I gotta have me some of that!' I knew instantly that whatever the outcome I just HAD to give this a try and see if it stood up to all its claims...
I used the shampoo in conjunction with the conditioner as I figured I would get the best results by doing this and also see if my split ends did in fact reduce with continued use. And I have to say, the whole time I was using this the condition of my hair was very good (so much so that even my hairdresser commented on it). I also think this did make a difference to the amount of split ends I had, although I can't be certain that it helped to stop new ones from forming. However, the main issue I have with this (and the conditioner) is that the longer I seemed to use it, the more weighed down and heavy my hair seemed to get. It was almost like this was giving my hair some sort of coating which protected it from spilt ends but made it lose it's natural body and shape.
Since I've stopped using it and have gone back to my regular shampoo, I've noticed that my hair has returned to what I consider 'normal' so I think the lesson learnt here is that although I would use it again, I would use it as more of a twice-weekly treatment in conjunction with my regular shampoo and conditioner, as opposed to the one I would reach for every day.
This definitely isn't going to be for everyone. I think people with thick hair will find it easier to use whilst those with thinner or finer hair would do best to do as I've described above and only use it as a treatment in conjunction with their regular products. Kudos to TREsemme though for producing a shampoo (and conditioner) that actually seems to do what it claims!

I have long, fine color-treated hair, and this product was a nightmare! After one wash, I ended up with horrible mats in my hair. I couldn't even comb through it without sufficient breakage. After two washes, my hair was total mess.
I ended up throwing out the product, which I never do, and will NEVER buy it again! It took about a week of intense conditioning to get my hair back, and the breakage was still noticeable. For anyone who has long, color-treated or fine hair, I definitely do NOT recommend this shampoo.

I've used this shampoo (used in tandem with the conditioner) for the past year. I've only had to repurchase the shampoo twice and the conditioner once in that time (I have the huge 32 oz. bottles). I've been growing my hair out for the past few years and was developing a split end problem when I bought this stuff. It did seem to work immediately on many of my split ends, and seems to have helped curb new splits. But as other reviewers have said, it does seem to leave the hair a bit lusterless, and also somewhat stiff and tacky -- which itself is a problem often associated with causing split ends.
Quite frankly, until today I hadn't even considered trying another shampoo/conditioner for this problem, because I've been using some great treatments post shower to detangle and smooth my hair (TRESseme Keratin Smooth Keratin Smoothing Infusion--or something like that; and Dove Nourishing Oil Detangler -- I've just written reviews for both). Additionally, to prevent stripped hair, I've recently started an every other day shampooing regimen and use dry shampoo on the off days. If all continues to go well, I may stop using this shampoo and favor of something more moisturizing on the shampoo days.

I love Tresemme a lot and none of their products ever disappoint me... but this one was a let down. The formula was just terrible. The shampoo left behind residue and the conditioner felt like glue in the shower and once the hair was dry it felt stiff and straw-like. I also used the leave in spray stuff with it and it was just as bad. If you love the smell, try their Keratin Smooth line. It smells the same and works a lot nicer.

Are there better ways to approach roads issues?
Are Nebraska lawmakers thinking strategically about how to care for and improve the state's 100,000 miles of roads, or have they put the cart ahead of the horse in pressing for a higher gas tax? That's a fair question as a showdown between Gov. Pete Ricketts and the state's 49 legislators appears to be forming.
On Thursday, Ricketts vetoed LB610, the measure that would have boosted Nebraska's gasoline tax by 6 cents per gallon in increments of 1.5 cents during the next four years. The result would have been an extra $76 million per year in revenues to help with the estimated $10.2 billion road and bridge projects needed over the next 20 years, according to a Nebraska Department of Roads report.
In addition to the 100,000 miles of roads, there also are 20,000 bridges in Nebraska, and some of them are reportedly beginning to crumble.
The Legislature approved boosting the gas tax from its current 25.6 cents per gallon to 31.6 cents by a tally of 26-15 on Thursday, and Ricketts promptly vetoed the measure. To override Ricketts' veto of LB610, lawmakers would need to muster 30 votes.
Chief sponsor of the gas tax proposal, Sen. Jim Smith of Papillion, said he thinks he can get 30 senators to set aside Ricketts' veto, but would such a move be the best approach?
Lawmakers must be convinced of the need for additional revenues, based on the Department of Roads' assessment, but Ricketts has asked for patience, saying the person he's hired as the state's new director of roads, Kyle Schneweis, will bring a fresh perspective to the debate. Ricketts believes there may be a public/private approach to funding roads and bridges. Such a strategy has been used on many overpasses, with railroad corporations contributing cash for the structures in exchange for the closure of dangerous at-grade crossings. The result is mostly positive because the new overpasses, coupled with closed crossings, really have reduced car-train fatalities and boosted convenience.
Although the methods by which Nebraska identifies road projects haven't changed much, the landscape of the state certainly has. Some communities have grown substantially, but the roads that underpin their commerce haven't kept pace. That's evident in Kearney's 17-year push for a second I-80 exit, and it's the impetus behind Norfolk business leaders' quest for a four-lane road to Fremont.
We hope that as the gas tax drama plays out, both the governor and our state's lawmakers awaken to the opportunity for change. Crisis often is the crucible from which great solutions arise. If that is so, the stage is set in Nebraska for great things.
Lincoln Journal Star. May 9, 2015.
Cash reserve will need new name
Surely most folks know what a rainy day fund is, right?
It's money put aside for an unexpected emergency.
Apparently state senators have their own strange definition.
They have a plan to make regular withdrawals from the state's rainy day fund, known as the cash reserve, for the next six years.
What's unexpected about those expenditures? What's the emergency?
The plan to tap the cash reserve was put together fairly late in the budget process after officials decided they needed another $28 million to add to the $77.7 million already budgeted for a 10-year project for renovation and replacement of the Capitol's heating and air conditioning system.
There's little doubt that the Capitol needs a new heating and air conditioning system. The current system is about 50 years old. It frequently breaks down. Pipes burst, causing damage to ceilings, walls and furniture.
There have been many improvements in heating and air conditioning in the past half-century. Architectural changes are necessary to accommodate some the changes needed to make the Capitol more livable and energy efficient. Staff will be relocated to temporary quarters during the work. It's an expensive proposition.
The initial plan approved by the Legislature last year called for the state to continue contracting with the University of Nebraska for chilled water for cooling.
Then the Capitol Commission decided it would be a better long-term investment to switch to a geothermal heat pump system, which circulates water underground to transfer heat to the earth.
The systems cost more initially, but pay for themselves in the long run. Geothermal systems have been in use for decades. They are a proven technology.
In fact a geothermal system is such a good idea that it ought to be treated like any other renovation cost — not passed off as an unexpected expense necessitated by unforeseen circumstances.
If the Legislature starts tapping the rainy day fund for ordinary, predictable expenditures like this the cash reserve will be gone in no time. Approval of this plan is like installing a spigot in the cash reserve senators can crank open any time the whim strikes.
The value of a healthy cash reserve was demonstrated when the Great Recession hit. As the OpenSky Institute pointed out, the state spent about $792 million in state reserve funds and federal stimulus money to get through the recession.
The cash reserve is now projected to be a bit over $700 million at the end of the current fiscal year.
But if the Legislature starts scheduling regular withdrawals for any predictable expense that strikes its fancy, they ought to give the cash reserve a new name. Call it the slush fund.
McCook Daily Gazette. May 6, 2015.
No public subsidy for wind power in Nebraska for now
The nation's only completely public power state has decided the public should not subsidize wind power.
Proponents likened the bill, which would have provided $75 million in production tax credits for renewable energy, to subsidies received by the ethanol industry, subsidies that have helped boost the Southwest Nebraska economy.
But opposing senators successfully filibustered against the bill, calling it "unnecessary, feel-good legislation" on one hand that didn't go far enough, and suggested the state should consider more forward-looking options such as experimental forms of nuclear energy.
It is a shame that Nebraska's public power status has hindered wind development in a state that is one of the windiest in the nation, lagging behind all of our neighboring states.
But it is also unfortunate that Nebraska rate payers would be forced to pay higher utility bills to take advantage of that wind.
And, we do wonder whether more of us will consider wind turbines to be an eyesore once the novelty wears off. Plus, adequate transmission facilities still need to be in place to carry wind-generated power to customers.
If and when wind power becomes an important part in Nebraska's energy formula, it will have to stand on its own economic merits.

Cooperative effort needed to bolster state's EMS crews
Seconds seem like hours when a medical emergency happens and people are waiting for an ambulance. The medical crews can never get there fast enough, it seems.
Unfortunately, that wait is getting longer in many areas of rural Nebraska. Ashton recently lost its local rescue squad and the Sherman County community now relies on one from Loup City, which is an extra 10 minutes added on to the response time.
Ashton isn't alone. Dean Cole, EMS and trauma program administrator for the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, recently told the Independent's Lauren Sedam that communities across the state and country are facing reduced access to emergency medical services.
The reason is the same as many of the other problems facing rural areas: fewer people. With a smaller population, there aren't as many volunteers as there used to be for the EMS crews. The scramble for manpower becomes too much for many communities.
EMS work is certainly not easy. Responding to emergencies, many involving friends and neighbors, can be extremely wearing emotionally. It takes a special person to be able to respond to emergency calls and not be traumatized themselves.
In addition, EMS crew members must undergo extensive training and licensing. For beginners, it requires 120 hours of classes, and continuing training is also required. With busy lifestyles, with jobs, families and other obligations, finding volunteers who are able to put in that much time is difficult.
There are, however, no easy solutions to the problem. Rural areas have seen a population decline due to farms getting bigger and most jobs being located in larger communities. That trend just continues.
Losing EMS crews certainly hurts rural areas even more. Medical care and help during emergencies are important quality of life matters. Many people, especially those with health concerns, will be wary of living in an area without nearby ambulance and paramedic service.
Reversing the trend of dwindling EMS crews will take a cooperative effort. The state, counties, towns, businesses and medical facilities all need to work together to address the problem. Perhaps incentives and funding can be provided to volunteers seeking the training. Businesses would have to allow their employees serving as EMS volunteers flexible work time so they can respond to emergencies.
It really is a statewide issue that impacts communities throughout the state. In an emergency, it's always nice to know that a caring, nearby EMS crew is coming to your assistance.

Do You Watch Lifetime TV Movies?

There are made-for-TV movies, and then there are Lifetime made-for-TV movies. Though the quality of the TV movies on Lifetime has improved over the years, they're still known for their cheesiness and melodrama. Still, I can't seem to resist watching them, no matter how over-the-top or ridiculous they are.
Today there's news of yet another one, and like so many Lifetime movies, it's a dramatization of a real news story. The network has picked up the script for Pregnancy Pact, "inspired by the news that 17 girls at Gloucester High School apparently agreed to get pregnant at the same time — and succeeded." I already know I'm going to watch this. What about you?

Actually I would love to watch the movies from Lifetime but I am from Canada and we do not get them. Makes me so mad that we can't access them when we can all the other channels connected to this such as A@E and all the other channels except the Lifetime. I am just waiting until they let us in on he Lifetime since they have such great things on there. Anyone heard as to when they may make it accessible to Canadians.

Hi, I`m a senior citizen and would like for you to put more movies back on. There is nothing on the local channels but realiity shows. We older folks don`t enjoy the new shows you put on lifetime. Drop Dead Deva, etc. Everything on t.v. is for the young folks. I love the lifetime movies.Thank you, Patsyann

My friend used to watch these when we'd be getting ourselves ready to go out dancing for the night and sometimes she'd call me up to say she didn't want to go out anymore because she couldn't stop watching some cheesy lifetime movie. I used to get so mad! Because of that - I refuse to watch any of them.

While I was growing up I watched some movies, sometimes with my mom and sometimes just because they were on and I don't think I should have. Now they have better subject matter but I'm still haunted by some of the movies I watched. I still watch them if they look good or entertaining.

I LOVE Lifetime movie... She's Too Young and Homeless to Harvard are 2 of my favs! Lol. I know I'm a total geek.

I never used to watch them in the past. Like chick flicks and rom-coms, they were too "girlie girl" for me, and Lifetime seemed to really appeal to an older demographic. Well now that I'm in my mid-thirties, I find that I enjoy these movies more and more. They're good on a Sunday afternoon while I clean the house and cook. But at the end of the day, I'm still a devout horror fan.

Omg, LifeTime movies are AMAZING! I hate that they got rid of Golden Girls, but the movies are still good for a laugh. I wish they played more of the older ones, like "Death of a Cheerleader" and "My Stepson, My Lover." SO GOOD! Haha :-)

i have from time to time but i can't say that i seek them out. i know that i've stumbled on a few over the years, and i've probably seen more in the past than i watch now, but they aren't all bad/cheesy. sometimes they are kind of good :)

Of course; Lifetime is my favorite guilty pleasure channel! Not only do I watch them but I will occasionally pick one up on DVD if it's pretty cheap and is good.

I used to watch when I had a day in with nothing to do but I was traumatized by "Mother May I Sleep With Danger" and haven't been able to watch anything since!! I might need therapy!!

I use to watch Lifetime movies all the time but not lately. I read that there's some pretty good new stories on there now. I have to go back to watching them soon.

I watch them, I admit, but probably for the wrong reason. My mom and I get together and laugh at the cheese factor of them. Good times.
