I found that Disturbia was about 0% good - one of the all-time clunkers.  Literally hated every second of it - as I wrote here when I was unfortunate enough to see it. 

I knew you couldn't stand it. I liked the premise. I wish they had gone in a less predictable direction with it.

But, now having seen it, I won't have to see it again.

When I finished A ROOM WITH A VIEW, I shut everything off downstairs and came up to start writing my FUNNY FACE review. No, I won't watch this new DVD until tomorrow, but having seen the film about 50 times, I figured I could get the movie part of the review done and be that far ahead when the time comes tomorrow night to start writing about the new package.

OK, my evening internet surf is concluded, so I think I'll head down to bed now.

Good night!

DR DtM - DR CP is correct.  I thought THE CHEATERS was a great premise pretty much spoiled by a typical REPUBLIC treatment.....interesting cast, but scripted with little imagination considering the premise.  A couple of the young actresses were also incapable of carrying their roles.

Hoo, boy!  You and DR CP aren't kidding!  I think this is the first time I thought Robert Osbourne was overhyping a TCM movie--this ain't no classic!  When Billie Burke started sobbing in the middle of the movie I think it was because she couldn't wait to scrape the inch of pancake off her face and get this turkey over with.

I napped in the recliner for a good part of the day and tehn I watched the first disc from my Christmas present from Vixdad - the complete Upstairs Downstairs all 68 episodes - it also includes all 13 episoded of Sarah & James - the followup series


I was suprised to see that the first episode was in colour but the next three were black & white 

DR Vixmom, I've been wanting to buy the UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS set for myself for years.  Maybe 2009 will be the year!

Hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I had to share one of my favorite Christmas presents.  I was thinking mine is Jesus but it may be Mary.  I laughed so hard I almost cried. Yes, now you too can see Mary in your morning slice of toast  ;D  It's called Holy Toast

I plan to try it out tomorrow.  I have been told to take photos and email them to everyone who was there

This is what I gave the friend who gave me the Holy Toast. We give each other very silly stuff every year

My memory is that there was some strike going on in the BBC at the time but the details are fuzzy.

I survived the fog both ways but it was one of the scariest drives I've ever taken.

Hey, Cillaliz, I understand that toast with Mary can bring lots of money! The casinos seem to buy them up!

On a happier note, I found my camera, and now I can share a few pictures of our Christmas

First, this is how Toby spent most of his first Christmas morning -

One year I gave my son a set of Christmas Dinner Soda Pop. We laughed until we almost cried, too. We didn't actually try any of it.

My holy toast was a regift.  Carol just couldn't let it fade to obscurity and knew I'd love it.  I'm going to make a slice, take a photo and tell my sister it just came out of the toaster that way.  I think she'll know it isn't real, but she can sometimes be gullible, so we're all hoping for another good laugh.   She'll laugh too.

DR TCB, I am so sorry that your friend Stan is declining rapidly. I can only wish him what I wished for my dad: a speedy and painless departure from this world. I send my love and sorrow to you for your loss.

That makes me think of the gum in Willie Wonka that is a whole meal...but the dessert is a problem...

We had a fabulous dinner last night. My mom made a beef tenderloin and with the input of about 5 of us, it came out perfectly.  We also had her special potatoes (sort of like twice baked without the shell of the potato)  candied sweet potatoes, ambrosia salad, and lots of other things.  My brother made a fabulous chocolate pecan bourbon pie with a graham cracker crust.  I had a tiny sliver.  It was fantastic.

I did track my food and if I don't go overboard for the next 5 days, I managed to stay within my weekly points.  I am amazed.

I went to lunch today with some friends and my mother.  We went to a mexican restaurant and I had the best Chimichanga I've ever had. 

For dinner I had lean cuisine.......

DerBrucer, I would fear guns in the house (especially a gun in the hands of a child) more than a sweet pit bull. But maybe that is just me.

I agree also...

Okay, I'm wondering who everyone else thinks that woman is in the vixter's nightmdream.   The "random woman" with the "really messed up brown hair."

Could it have been a Hainsie/Kimlet that the vixter's subconscious concocted from posts she has read here?

Hmmmmmm....??

;D

I have several ideas but I'm keeping mum. Could it be someone who posts infrequently?

It's terribly foggy here tonight and i have to drive in about 30 minutes from the country into town for dinner. I could use some driving vibes tonight, please. Please?

No, I'm serious, I have NEVER seen a person like this before. It was crazy. I mean, take a normal looking lady, rip up her sleeves and jeans, give her Hermione Granger hair-o-heel, and place her in a senario like my dream, and you got her. Besides, I don't think she couldv'e been from the site if I hadn't met her on here yet, and the fact that everyone from the site was either in the SUV, or probaboly back at base camp shooting some squirrls or somthing... in the mean time, I have decieded to dub this woman "Hell Lady."

sometimes... it is the scary ones you cant place
