In regards to Sara it's pretty easy to answer, "Suds in a Bucket". It's a really catchy song with fun lyrics. In Martina's case, the question is much more difficult. With Waking Up Laughing I went from simply liking her to really loving her. And the more I grow to love her and her music, it is becoming more and more difficult to pick a favorite song. Like its really hard for me to pick a favorite Beatles song. It's almost impossible. If I can pick a couple of favorite Martina songs I am going to go with "Anyway", "How I Fell", "Where Would You Be" and "Wrong Again".

My favorite current TV show is Life On Mars. Infact it is the only current show that I watch. I like the concept of a man somehow being transported back in time to 1973. I love the 70's and think it would be really cool to some morning wake up and it's 1973! The show also stars Harvey Kietel, who is one of my all time favorite actors.

My all time favorite show is Star Trek-Deep Space Nine. I've seen every episode at least 20 times and with the exception of a number of first and second season episodes, I never tire of them. DS9 was one of the first shows to have a continuing storyline where the events of one episode would effect future episodes. This is pretty common place now, but before DS9 and The X-Files it was pretty rare if not unheard of. DS9 was the best acted of all the Star Trek shows and it had some of the best character development of any show,

Good answers! In case you haven't heard, Martina's upcoming album "Shine" is being released on March 24th.

Waking Up Laughing is the name of Martina McBride's last album. It was released in 2007. The title comes from a lyric in the song "How I Feel, "when you wake up laughing just because". I think it just it's a very good additude towards life. You can wake up sad, you can wake up angry or you can wake up laughing.

What's the best thing about living in Chicago?

In 2003 Nick at Nite was showing reruns of Charles In Charge but they always skipped the first (and by far best) season. It may have been because the first season was broadcasted on CBS where as the following seasons were shown in first run syndication. In some ways it was like two totally different shows and I think that is the way that Nick may have looked at it. Anyway, I was trying to find out if Nick was going to get around to season one because I really wanted to retape those episodes because my copies were from way back in '84 and '85 and were in terrible shape. I did a Google search on Charles In Charge and found my way here. I signed up so that I could make a thread to ask if anyone knew if Nick was going to show season one. A very young man named Bret Ferino said that they were. Bret lied! In 2006 the first season came out on DVD, so in the end it didn't matter. What a long answer to such a simple question, huh?



I work from 9 to 5:30 so all my free time is in the evenings and on weekends. However, since I work at a computer, I often post during the afternoon. Don't tell my boss though. Just kidding. We're allowed to go online if things are slow. During my sparetime, I read, watch movies and TV and listen to music. I also write, but not as often as I used. I also play the guitar. When we can all find the time, I go out with friends but this has become less and less as we have become older and busser. Though 2008 was my most social year in quite a while.


My favorite actors are Al Pacino, Steve McQueen, Robert DeNiro, Harvey Kietel, Patrick Stewart, Jimmy Stewart, Sean Connery and William Shatner. My favorite actresses are Lisa Whelchel, Jami Gertz, Terry Farrell, Grace Kelly, Natalie Portman, Nancy McKeon, Ingrid Bergman and Kirsten Dunst.



I work at a Community College. I worked in the registration office from November '07 to November '08 and then transfered to the Social Sciences department. I get benifits and earn $15 an hour. I have a four year degree in Early American History and am working towards a master's in hopes that I can be a professor of American history. For a while I actually told a few people here that I only finished two years of college because for a while I was ashamed that I had a four year degree but was working at a job (and still am) that only requires a high school diploma.


I actually don't live in Chicago. I live in a suburb named Schaumburg which is about 45 miles out from Chicago. I was born in Chicago but only lived there until I was two and a half.

I read in Martina's eletter last Monday that Shine is coming out on March 24th! I'll get it the first day out. Sadly though, if she tours, I may not be able to go see her. I'm moving out into my own apartment (FINALLY!) in March and I may not have the money to go see her live.
