MY lips are sealed!

I can picture that...

And your hands...they're bound behind you....and you have shackles on your legs....

And what's that hanging from the ceiling...and what's up with those mirrors?

?

What is all this?

Jane, the rule has to do with possessives. (I often spell that wrong, so please someone correct me if I've done it again.) The Beatles have many records (not record's). One of The Beatles' songs is Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. If you say Beatle's, you are referring to something that belongs to The Beatle.

Say hi to PennyO for me, Jane. I enjoyed meeting her (briefly) at bk's partay.
I'm trying not to buy too many books -- got rid of hundreds before I moved. But I just bought "Down and Dirty Pictures: Miramax, Sundance, and the Rise of Independent Film" -- couldn't resist. (I wasn't going to put in the subtitle, but changed my mind. Don't want to spoil my squeaky clean image with some of our younger HHW-ers.)

Panni moves are great for reducing our belongings. We are on the verge of breaking a record,5½ years in one house, next month. Either we need to move again or I need to do some serious sorting out of unnecessary items. My problem is I’m very sentimental and like to save everything.

Thank you, Dear Readers Matt H. and Jennifer. Gosh, you guys are swell!

Limo: yes
Police car: no
Firetruck: no
Ambulance: thankfully, no

Enjoy the book, DR Panni. The reviews I've read indicate that juice should be dripping from the binding.

Joy · « **Reply #125 on:** January 20, 2004, 02:34:03 PM »

Yes, I was just discussing this problem with someone at work. My DH Noel has a difficult time throwing anything out. It has become easier for him in the last few years, he is definitely making progress, but some people just find it very hard to let go of things. As for me, I have moved around so much in my life that I don't really develop serious attachments to objects. Except for my sex toys. Oops, did I say that?

My WICKED cd came today!

And oh my - I know they are considering a remake, but can the performances of Andy Griffith, Patricia Neal, Walter Matthau, and Lee Remick in A FACE IN THE CROWD really be improved upon?

"Jump....get out of my life....get out of everyone's life....jump...jump...jump!"

Oh, DRPANNI - I was asking about this book the other day and no one said anything....I am breathless waiting for your opinion.

Matt H. · « **Reply #127 on:** January 20, 2004, 02:37:38 PM »

It takes me awhile to usually determine that I won't be needing certain things any more, and then I'm OK with throwing them out. I had no trouble ridding my office of dozens and dozens of textbooks from my years of teaching and serving on textbook evaulation committees. So, I'm a modified pack rat, I guess.

No, it can't, and it shouldn't be tried. I was reading in something, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY I believe, where one of their film critics was salivating over the thought of the new MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE. I, on the other hand, have an upset stomach thinking about it, even though I adore Meryl Streep.

VinTek · « **Reply #129 on:** January 20, 2004, 02:40:12 PM »

I'm afraid I'm one of those lurkers who hasn't posted since the new format came into being (never did take to having to page repeatedly). As for the DVD I'd like to see, I think I'd really like to see "The Maltese Bippy" (having had a crush on Carol Lynley in my adolescence).

SwishySarah · « **Reply #130 on:** January 20, 2004, 02:40:57 PM »

Jane, my uncle lives in Southern Maryland. It's just strange to me, becuase he hasn't ALWAYS lived there, he's lived in Canada, Rochester, Miami, Philly. I'm not completely sure I believe he's never seen one, but he definetly hasn't BEEN in one. He's one of those uncles that makes stuff up to look cool in front of the little kids. This is also the uncle that adopted Anastasia, from Kazakhstan.

DR Joy: I was thinking the same way Jane was. He must have been completely smitten if he didn't remember the limo ride

Welcome back to the board VinTek! And welcome aboard Dave from the Valley!

bk · « **Reply #137 on:** January 20, 2004, 03:06:48 PM »

Dave from the Valley: Sorcerer IS out on DVD - I've had it for several years - try amazon.

Three more chapters to go - still finding the little style and format things, but thankfully nothing major at all.

Matt H. · « **Reply #138 on:** January 20, 2004, 03:13:01 PM »

BK, I think he wanted SORCERER in a widescreen anamorphic format rather than the fullscreen that is presently available. Or have they updated it?

Hi, Panni! I'm here with Jane and Keith and their little menagerie ... about to climb back into the car and head down your way. My parents tell me the weather is relentlessly lovely... oh, well... dirty job, but someone gotta do it... see ya soon.

PennyO · « **Reply #140 on:** January 20, 2004, 03:20:47 PM »

Oh, and I see I'm no longer in Dutch! Thanks, Uncle Keith.

Good choice Matt. Heck even I am not going to be watching the SOTU after last year's sleeper. And I watch pretty much anything political CNN throws out a new banner for

Plus I wasted a TON of time last night watching the surprisingly interesting Iowa Caucuses.

Andrea's CYGOPP (who actually is American and has a vested interest in this whole kittenkaboodle) is going down to New Hampshire this weekend to volunteer for Dean.

Sometimes it would be nice to be American and get a chance to participate in a system that matters.

Emily · « **Reply #142 on:** January 20, 2004, 03:24:35 PM »

btw... for swishy's question:

limo = yes
police car = no
fire engine = I have stood on one but it was not actually moving and so does not count as an official "ride"

bk · « **Reply #143 on:** January 20, 2004, 03:32:58 PM »

Still full screen, apparently at Mr. Friedkin's request - although he'd probably feel different now.

Ah, finally a restful moment. Baby was in a really bratty mood this afternoon, screaming bloody murder if I attempted to put him down for even a second. Five year old was actually pretty good for him. Their father had brought home a new reptile and he was playing with it when I picked him up. I took one look at it and recognized it as a rough skinned newt (I used to work for the Forest Service in the bio department) a calm little creature, but rather posionous if provoked. So he's in a plastic container waiting for release into the wild. \
Now baby is finally asleep on the couch. Exhaustion finally won out. Riley is happily eating macaroni and cheese and watching PBS kids, kitchen is all cleaned up and dishes put away, toy room is cleaned, and I finally have a moment to sit and catch up on lovely posts.
Wow...this sure was a rambling post...

Ann · « **Reply #145 on:** January 20, 2004, 03:54:23 PM »

Oh yeah, never ridden in anything exciting..no limo, no fire truck, police car, or ambulance...not even a helicopter..

SwishySarah · « **Reply #146 on:** January 20, 2004, 04:33:21 PM »

BTW, Bruce, I completely forgot to mention that in the mall last night, I stopped in Suncoast to buy some DVD's. While I was at the checkout counter, I noticed some people in the "Musicals" section, looking down at a DVD and saying "This looks hilarious. We should buy it!"

It turned out to be TFNM.

I never thought I'd actually see a copy of that movie. While they were reading the cast on the back, and your name was said, I wanted to say "I know that man! I know him! I talked to him yesterday!", but I kept my cool.

. I am such a nerd sometimes.

Limo. No.
Helicopter. No.
Police Car. Yes. Remind me to tell you about the hard time I spend in the Big House. The Joint. The Gray Bar Hotel.
Ambulance. Yes.
SUV. No.
Greyhound Bus. Actually more frightening than the Police Car. Lotsa whacked-out fundamentalists go Greyhound, it seems.
Staten Island Ferry. Yes.
Submarine. Yes.

Did they buy the DVD? Still proofing merrily away with red eyes.
