DR's elmore & Matt H (don't remember if anyone else mentioned it), we finally watched ZODIAC & agree it is an excellent movie.

Agreeing with those who like WATER HORSE, which we saw today.

Off to watch BABEL.

I found a copy one time but it was so badly scratched from looking at the picture I did not buy it.

I was not home for TAR. I sure hope it recorded!

The Pgenre that FJL is referring to is a long-time poster on All That Chat. He's living proof of why those boards cannot be taken seriously. He's been a know-it-all poster almost since the beginning of the board, which was back in 1998 when it sort of got popular. He's just admitted he's a new college student, which means when people would get into heated discourse on a subject he was being a know-it-all about they were conversing with a ten-year-old child. I rest my case.

FJL · « **Reply #275 on:** December 30, 2007, 07:02:52 PM »

Did he say something about not being old enough to rent a car? Would that mean he's not even 21 yet?

I say this knowing he must be lurking here.

Nope, it wasn't me.

Great! I'll delete it then....it claims to be a happy new year e-card. You're the only Jane I know of...so it's obviously a spam thingie.

The day has whizzed by.

I was going to go for coffee and buns this a.m. when my phone rang. My mom was calling and we chatted a while.

Then I went out and shopped for New Year's....got some fresh collards and fresh cabbage and fresh brussels sprouts...and some pork. Then I got my morning buns, chocolatines and coffee.

I've viewed some TV during the day, clearning things off my DVR cache (except the "Bones" Christmas show from last year or the year before...a REALLY good show that I cannot watch too many times).

I've napped, too, for about 90 minutes.

I've recently cleaned the collards and cooked them. I've a potato baking in my toaster oven and a rib eye steak sitting on the counter ready to be grilled in half an hour.

Life is good.

This is good to know. I've heard of women "Janing" but I wasn't sure any were named "Jane."

Watching MILLION DOLLAR MERMAID.....I know that a lot of Esther's emerging from the water effect was done by reversing the film, sometimes a couple of times.....and I know that she was known as a swimmer, but it seems to me watching these movies that her high diving was done by a double....and a couple of her sliding stunts were as well....not to take anything away from her.

Still I am at a loss to explain her popularity.

It's one of those conundrums that seem to fill your life...like your abhorrence of the wonderful Bernadette Peters and the brilliant Gene Kelly.

Most of us are at a loss to explain THAT!

FJL · « **Reply #282 on:** December 30, 2007, 07:14:25 PM »

The opportunity to say "And one for collards!" and so far from a page-turn!

It's just not fair.

Yes, indeed. Especially since you're still in the doghouse about the freezer door.

I'll have you know my mom is now quite pleased with hersefl for having cleaned out that freezer. She's got loads of space now that she did not have before.

Thanks to TCB (ten times) and MBarnum for liking my book enough to include it - that makes me happy, and I hope it's not just because they're on this site. Of course, I think both gentlemen should go to amazon.com and write a lovely review.

My, what a quiet day on HHW.

I got bored with reading.

We can't all be exceptional writers, Jeanne!

Or did you mean you were reading other stuff than HHW posts?

Naturally, I was born bad, I wasn't just drawn that way. . .

"Drawn"? Are you a comic book figure?

Well, I haven't done much of anything other than take a shower, after I watched some TV. Now, I need to get ready for a party that my friend Jacob is having...and I'm invited. Jacob and I met last year in Cannibal! The Musical! and have been friends ever since. It should be a fun time.

Funny! Of course, you need to have the line, "A conundrum wrapped in an enigma" in there somewhere.

George · « **Reply #294 on:** December 30, 2007, 07:21:44 PM »

What rhymes with "enigma"??

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #296 on:** December 30, 2007, 07:25:32 PM »

I think one of my New Year's resolutions is going to be avoiding the "by name" thank yous to everyone who wishes me a happy birthday.

One general "thank you" to all and sundry should do the trick. Otherwise there is ALWAYS the possibility that someone will wish me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY who will go unacknowledged, leaving that person to think his greeting was overlooked or unwelcome!

There's so little to amuse me on TV tonight.

ANOTHER airing of "The Sound of Music" on ABC? How many households don't already have it on DVD or VHS, for pity's sake?

Why, Ron, I certainly did NOT mean I was bored with HHW! Mercy! I certainly would not keep returning if that were the case! Noooo. I was reading some books on enzymes, and keep wishing the author would cut to the chase. He never did and I grew bored.
