You win!

Sing the praises of Lance Armstrong....

I guess you can feel satisfied that your name calling has worn me out.

Whatever....

We are here because we can freely give our opionions, right/wrong/indifferent.

Absolutely, as can I freely tell you when you are being childish and judgemental with no base or cause.

I'm not sure why my opinion bothers you so much, unless you think I'm influencing others?

Not likely. This is a rather intelligent group of people.

Personally, as a mom, I can't see where the first wife had the time to take on extra marital, due to having 3 babies in 5 years.....

Way out of the ballpark. Where is it said by anyone that either of them had extra-marital affairs? That isn't even in the equation.

I don't care for the likes of Sheryl Crow....that's my opinion.

Nor do I. But neither you nor I has to share our lives with her. Your time would be much better spent making sure your home life is as happy as you want it to be and not using it to falsely throw around blame in other people's private lives where it doesn't even remotely concern you. You come across as a gossipy, bitter woman when you do that. But, that's my opinion.

I don't care for the likes of Sheryl Crow....that's my opinion. I don't like Sheryl Crow dissing my President every chance she gets!

Finally we come to the heart of the matter. You don't like Crow, Armstrong is dating her, therefore you don't like Armstrong.

Why didn't you just say so up front instead of engaging in baseless attacks on Lance?

I guess you can feel satisfied that your name calling has worn me out.

What name calling? I told you that your behavior appears foolish and small-minded, it does. That isn't name calling.

I'm just bothered that there are 3 little kids, only toddlers, and the daddy is just fine running around with the likes of Sheryl Crow.
Maybe that's fine with you.....but I'm a bit oldfashion.

..and I've been married 32 years and have adopted children. It's not FINE with me however I will not follow your lead and lay the blame on Lance. It may in fact be his fault, but we just don't know.

Sheryl Crow can't hold a candle to Kristin Armstrong, who's written a great article about her life and first marathon (a creditable 3:48) in the current issue of Runner's World. Of the race, she wrote, "In my past life I gave everything I had to make a dream possible for someone else. On this day I gave everything I had to make a dream possible for myself. . .It was the past year of my life, shortened into a span of 26.2 arduous miles. It was the culmination of experiences, the knowledge that my body can be pushed past its breaking point, just like my heart. In both instances, when you come to the end of yourself, God's grace is all that sustains. And it is enough."

I thought the comments by Armstrong's ex-wife was most moving and should be posted again in this thread. She definitely has a good heart. I think the comments tell you more about her than what has been posted here. Also, she is indeed very beautiful!
