I am suddenly nauseous. I just cancelled my Toyland plans.

BK, the AA documentary about the financial crisis is called INSIDE JOB

DR Elmore - hope you feel un-nauseous soon!

Still stomach vibes for Elmore.

Not much on the agenda today. That means it will likely be busier than usual.

I do not remember my faux pas.....EVERYONE else does, though.

Couldn't have said it better.

But I do recall a faux pas a friend Bonnie made that I have learned from. Bonnie was talking to a woman she hadn't see in awhile, but she couldn't remember how long. She knew the woman had been pregnant and asked how the pregnancy was coming. The woman had given birth four years before. Bonnie wouldn't be stopped at that. She then asked the other woman how many months along she was with this baby -- and the woman wasn't pregnant. Ouch.

Vibes for DR ELMORE - the theatre critic who really knows his stuff.

Is it wrong that I enjoyed THE KING'S SPEECH wins even more so because they were at the expense of THE SOCIAL NETWORK?

I hate it when I want to empty my Recycle Bin and I click the wrong words and delete the Recycle Bin icon.

I do like the color of Amy Adams' dress - I'm thinking something in that color for my mother-of-the-groom dress.

It would be a beautiful color on you.

Considering how quickly certain films come to home video it's surprising that King's Speech won't be out till April.

From Edi:Along with JEWS AND BASEBALL! :-)

The two films I'm most looking forward to the DVD release.

Jrand, Helen Mirren is not Anti-American. She's even married to one and lives here half the time.

Thank you for clearing that up as I was somewhat confused.

How could they leave out a classic like Betty Garrett. I bet they said she is known for her work in television.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #51 on:** February 28, 2011, 09:47:14 AM »

Who knows DR JANE.....but it was the same people who thought Franco and Hathaway would be dynamite hosts.

I already feel as if I've put in an 8 hour work day. Manual labor. Diverting water outside, unplugging drains as well. Sucking up basement water one gallon at a time with the handy dandy small wet-vac. . .time to loosen up the muscles with a hot bath before I do the daily running around. Then it's back to the basement to see if everything has dried out.
Fortunately, there are no valuables on the cellar floor; I learned that lesson many moons ago.

I have a well-ingrained habit of whittling everyone's name to the first syllable once I get to know them well enough. Shelley becomes Shell, Jacob become Jake, etc..

Then about two years ago, a guy named Shittah started to work in my office.

While I never made the actual faux pas, a few times I came close and it wound up sounding even worse when I stressed the final syllable. Fortunately for me, the guy had a sense of humor about his name. But even so...

LOL, DR Dan (the Man)! You can call me Gin - lots of people do, especially my family and long-time friends. My DH, however, likes my full name and calls me Virginia.
