Hey sunny. I had to promise husband that I would stick close to him and we would only stay and hour or so. He is still a little homophobic. Will try to take pics if I can. No I don't need any money for the camera or the trip. In-laws live about 1 hour north of Lauderdale. Might leave husband at home and go with sister-in-law then we would fit right in.

according to the charts, there has been more selling than buying going on in the last 4 trading days... don't know if manipulation is in play or not, don't have the tools to check that.

Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm a schizophrenic and so am I.

Those of you who have on-demand cable access will be able to see me as the host of the new tv network Expo TV launching Oct. 1st. Before you rip me to pieces, let me tell you that Oprah is the financial backer of the network, the crew is from Oxygen Network and we filmed at Oxygen Studios here in NYC.

First, while this network is also ONE CHANNEL its aim is to be advertiser-driven. Hidden in the content of what I say may be a plug for an advertiser or just some new news that the sponsor- say, for instance, Pepsi wants to promote a new product- wants to get out there to the public without making it seem like advertising, and that generates revenue for the network. It's not a commercial. I've seen a lot of questions on how that kind of thing works. So there ya go.

Second, Expo plans to run 20 hours of programming for the cable operators to use to "launch" the network. That cycle will run for about 3 months +. Much like Q seems to be doing.

Third, I don't know what kind of tv experience U4 has, but when he stated "UH, 67 FEET HIGH IS A JOKE. MOST STUDIO'S ARE AT BEST 30-FEET HIGH. TO MAKE IT SOUND LIKE WE HAVE 67 FEET TO "FLY" LIGHT/SOUND IS A JOKE AND MADE TO LOOK BETTER THAN WHAT IS MEANT" that's just absurd. I've never filmed in a tv studio that was 30 feet high. Where would the sets be stored? The boom itself is 15-feet +. A photo studio is about 30 feet high, but not tv.

It's also important to have the right facilities to shoot in. We didn't have as much insulation as we needed on our last filming, so we would have to cut if the sound engineers caught a noise from outside in the audio, someone opening a door, etc. In all, even though there's financing behind Expo, it still has a strict budget until launch. I imagine it's much the same with Q.

And, even with multiple professionals working on it, we have seen setbacks, reorganizations, mind changes and all kinds of difficulties wth our first productions. It NEVER goes smoothly. But that's the nature of the business, and it is to be taken in stride. you can't just go with initial decisions because you're afraid of making changes. Which is why I sit on my Q as a long, hoping that it all comes together in the end.

Hope the insight helps.

My experience has given me a little more patience with Q and allowed me to turn a blind eye to some of the PolitiQues ;-)

One more time--I posted what I was told.

I was alarmed by the intensity of your demands and more importantly did not know how you were planning to use the information.

So, I called back the next week (from my vacation hotel) and asked the same question. I was immediately connected to the supervisor (those calls are recorded) who then began questioning me about the employee.

I ended the call without gaining any additional information--nothing to post the following week except fear of the damage that I had already done to the employee.

I had published that young man's name on a public board! Do you understand the possible consequences of that?

When I returned home, others had already posted similar experiences in other cities when they had called to confirm. The big debate of "Did we launch?" was flaming and some still continue to question it.

I told the truth, tried to protect the employee and got attacked by you. Even though he gave me his name, I was wrong to publish his name without telling him before I posted it.

Everyday, I read those same words on these boards, "Call and check it out."

However, you don't ever call those members liars. I have read your other posts, and yes I do remember you stating that you "love Howard Stern".

Could it be that you don't attack them because their member name does not reveal their gender?
