Well,  I am now a bit crabby due to the fact that I bought a slew of tanning sessions at my gym North Salem branch last summer...I used maybe one or two of them, and now they tell me that I cannot use the rest of them because, under the new system they have, the tans expired. What!! I have been buying tanning sessions at that gym for years, and because I rarely used them they had accumulated, and now all of a sudden they expire!!...and no refund because they say there is no way to prove I purchased the tans nor how many of them I used up (they conveniently tossed all of the tanning cards of all the members who had bought tans under the old system. Evidently the members had a certain amount of days in which to switch the old tans they bought over to the new tanning system (you would think that would be done automatically).

I made the manager of the gym very angry at me (I stayed very calm  but he sort of lost his cool), so I don't suppose I will go to that branch anymore (thankfully I use the South Salem gym more than this one in North Salem).

But really, how dare they just up and abscond with my money like that.

Of course this was the gym that was requiring each member to "rent" a gym towel at each visit for a nominal fee so as to stave of the bird flu.

by the way I don't tan that much really...I know it is not good for you, but I felt I was looking a bit on the pasty side.

NO SPOILERS RE MEDIUM

I had no idea MEDIUM is based on a real person.   Thanks for the info.  Was it ever confirmed in real life that she had those abilities?

Yes, she does.

[size=8]SPOILER[/size]


I've finally "caught up" on last night's programming and watched "Medium."

I liked the episode a lot.  I can see Joe basically losing both his lawyer and his job because of the circumstances.  

I do, also, TIRE of Allison's being treated badly by the people who have relied upon her.  I understood Scanlon's needing to distance himself, but I'd like to have seen him seriously work with her to plot things out and see where her dreams might be leading.

It's strange to me that they don't do that.  Equally strange is when they so easily dismiss her dreams when they know full well they ALWAYS mean "something."

I liked the typical Glen Gordon Caron ending...and I thought she was talking to the new D.A., rather than Scanlon, when she said, "You can thank me later."

Oh, pook.  Do you, then, read our posts on the topic?

If so, you'll know her husband was in a hostage situation on the show in which some people were murdered.  

Real life?  Based on what you've read?

RE: the real alison dubois.

She is quite famous. You've probably seen her on talk shows and just never realized it.

For some reason i always thought the show was simply loosely based on her and did not use real scenarios. But it would be very interesting to know for sure!

RE: the season finale of GHOST WHISPERER

*
*
*



I was trying to find a recap somewhere because the show was complicated. But i couldn't find one that was longer than 2 lines.

If you do a search below and type in the show's name you can read some comments that we made on the day.

This is basically the ending though.

Melinda and the professor try to find out what the tragedy is that will happen on may 11th.

The week before i believe we found out that many tragedies had occured on that date in different years (last season's plane crash being one).

Anyhow this man comes to town and brings a bunch of special children, who were affected by these tragedies. They were the lone survivors. And they were all having weird visions. And were quite traumatized.

Anyhow the man needs melinda to bring the little girl from the plane crash so all the kids can be together.

Melinda realizes that a dead woman she has been talking to is the man's wife (she died in a ferry accident and he owned the ferry and was supposed to be on it).

Anyhow at the end of the show melinda and the professor realize that the man has let gabriel (the creepy guy who is trying to bring people to the bad side) take all the kids to the memorial for the plane crash.

This is where the next accident is to occur.

The children march in the procession when all of a sudden massive winds strike.  And melinda rushes towards the kids to save them.

A big pole thing hits her and she is dead.

Okay this was a freaky part. And i was thinking she was going to be dead next season.

Anyhow the kids all touch hands and touch her.

Oh i forgot to mention that all the kids were having visions of melinda and had drawn her. That is how the man knew to get in touch with her.

Anyhow also the man's wife spoke to him through melinda and she told him to help melinda.

Okay so back to melinda being dead. While she was dead i think it was her father who told her she had a brother.

So the kids bring her back to life. And she is lying there.

And the end was something like melinda looking up and realizing that gabriel is her brother.

Well....with gasoline now at $3.49 per gallon and the theatre 35 miles away (one way) - I may not be auditioning for A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM after all.

Time will tell.

I also received the Tyrone Power Box Set today, and watched SON OF FURY....nothing about Frances in the "interview" section....it's as if she doesn't exist - but she sure does a nice job in the movie....although her performance wasn't mentioned by DR RLP or DR MATTH when they watched the movie....

I don't remember which ones DR Ron Pulliam has watched, but I can tell you exactly why I haven't mentioned Frances. I haven't watched SON OF FURY yet. The only one out of the box that I've watched is PRINCE OF FOXES. I have SON OF FURY out as the next one to watch, but with BECKET here now and VENUS that I must get to tomorrow, SON OF FURY will not be happening in the next couple of days.

RE: MEDIUM SPOILERS

DR MattH, I think DR FJL explained why he was a bit upset.  I think basically in a nutshell it is odd that alison let neve campbell's character die.  I mean obviously she tried to warn her.  But she did not camp out in front of her hotel room.  And it was basically implied that she died and then alison was vindicated. Like it was a fair trade.

[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]

SPOILER
[/move]

I'm sorry, but I don't understand that kind of thinking at all. She went above and beyond the call of duty in trying to warn this woman, a woman who betrayed her friendship for the sake of a story, a headline, a byline, and a possible book deal. I don't know what you folks expect from her, but *I* think it's unrealistic for you to think she should have done anything other than what she did. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree about this.

I began my evening with EPisode #5 in the PLANET EARTH box. This one was entitled "Deserts," and it again featured astounding photography and fascinating information on desert life with plants and animals. The Blu-ray did have that "pop" aspect of the photography that distinguishes true high definition images.

Next, I finished TO CATCH A THIEF. Edith Head's gown extravaganza in the masked ball sequence did look stupendous in Technicolor. All of Grace Kelly's gowns throughout the film looked as if she had been poured into them.

No wonder Edith was so upset when she wasn't granted permission to design Grace's wedding gown.
