LOS ANGELES - Country singer Sara Evans on Thursday announced she was filing for divorce and quitting the “Dancing With the Stars” television competition.

Evans filed for divorce from Craig Schelske in Williamson County, Tenn., where she lives, according to a statement issued by Allen Brown, her representative at Sony BMG Music Entertainment.

Well, even at my physical peak, I couldn't even get on the bar code of this publication.

Now Now. I thought we were talking about hotties like Sara Evans and Denise Richards. And you go and ruin it. Ruiner.

[BunnySlippers]

Very few are perfect of either sex.

Haha ... I pick my threads carefully. :)

I'm disappointed too. Sara and Tony were my rooting interest this year (Stacy and Tony were last season's; you're a lucky man, Tony!).

I definitely agree with your "fake innocent" assessment of Mario, yuck! And I can't stand Springer's politics, but he is entertaining.

Wonder if they'll let Willa come back now that Sara had to bow out?

Guess I'll root for Emmitt by default. I really like Cheryl with those extensions in her hair. Hubba Hubba!

They're hotties for us hotties ;)

But maybe you're right. My main point is the TO A WOMAN, cheating is becoming emotionally attached to another person, regardless of a sex act.

I'm a guy, and if this definition is anywhere near being true, I'm a polygamist.

My main point was to let women know that men do compartmentalize, and that their men have no intention of running away with Jenna Jameson, they don't love her, they probably don't even like her. But they WILL look at her. Still a sin, just a different sin.

True - but my main point (and the Lord's, I suspect) is that it's not enough to just "not run away with another woman", and say "good enough". Thought, word and deed are all related. Therefore, I'm not comfortable in saying "looking ain't cheating" - it's just different degrees of the SAME sin, and we all know that 1% of sin is still sin. It may be true to say "looking ain't LEAVING"...but that's not really the point.

I'm always amazed at how garbage stories like this stay in the "News" section but legitimate news stories are quicky hurried off to "chat".

Signed,
Disgusted.

I'm kind of emotionally attached to my cat. but we're just good friends.

At least we're not rehashing Foleys IM's.

Country singer Sara Evans alleges in divorce papers that her husband committed adultery

Other than being a regular poster at DU, he pretty much has the Dumba$$ of the year award all locked up.

To a woman,
it's knowing you're meatloaf and mashed potatoes...
and your husband LOVES meatloaf and mashed pototoes.

But you see him looking at chocolate cake.

And while you know you're more substantial and robust,
you never will have him look at you with the same glimmer as he does when he's looking at that cake......

It's CAKE for cryin' out loud!

Cuz meatloaf isn't special like chocolate cake.

"But you see him looking at chocolate cake."

Cake! Is it getting hot in here or is it me.

I know I'm stopping off at Dairy Queen on the way home.

While I can't say that I agree with every nuance of your post, I appreciate the thought that went into it.

I would simply say that how men and women "feel" about various activities doesn't necessarily have much bearing on whether that activity is sinful. Otherwise, we might say that "adultery is right for some, and wrong for others".

As for sexual issues being a symptom of marital strife rather than a cause - you said "generally", and I'll agree, only if you include that to mean that the root cause of the marital strife may often be one partner's sick soul, manifesting itself as a sexual issue. It's a semantical game, but relevant.

You're right - I had forgotten about Cheryl. She's a little doll, so enthusiastic. She was so good with Lachey last year - and they were so evenly matched as partners, size-wise. I felt sorry for his PG wife having to watch them, lol.

Oh yeah, Tony was with Stacy last year. Va-va-voom. She was taller than he was, but they made it work. I saw her the other day for the first time since Dancing, in a commercial with George Hamilton about "toasted" somethings. He was doing Greek dancing, a la Zorba - well, a double was doing it.

I'm sure Willa and Maks would be more than willing to come back, lol. Still haven't figured out what "pop star" means as her job title. No further comment.

Joey keeps messing up his chances, when he's really fairly good, but seems to have quite an ego. Edyta just doesn't seem to be having as much fun as when she had the "hardship case," George Hamilton.

I can't stop at Dairy Queen, it always makes me feel like I'm cheating on Cold Stone Creamery.

Cuz meatloaf isn't special like chocolate cake.

Which is why I'm still of the mindset that on the marital diet, LOOKING at chocolate cake is still a minor form of cheating. Same sin, different degree.
