Time for bed. Good night!

[bk]

I'll eat cake for breakfast if I damn well please, and I've damn well pleased several times and it was GOOD.

[Dan M]

Let 'em eat cake to quote the late Mark Antoinette (uttered by A. Bunker).

[Jennifer]

I am looking forward to seeing Frozen when my library gets it.

My nieces love it.

I know a lot of people are loving it. But I had no idea it was a tween thing like Wicked.

[vixmom]

The church service was very lovely and moving

[vixmom]

I cam e home heated up the potato soup  had a nice bowlful and made a pot of tea

[vixmom]

then Vixdad  called -  he was sitting in his car in the train parking  lot - and the battery was dead so the Vixter and I went off to rescue him

[vixmom]

it  was darn coooooooooooooooooooold  in that there lot, let me tell you!

[singdaw]

I remember a time when Disney movies had real villains - scary villains.

My six-year old self was quite scared of the wicked queen in Disney's Snow White, thank you very much!     

[vixmom]

We got his car jumped, and we are all safely home again

[vixmom]

thanks to  the broown betty and tghe teapot cozy the tea was still piping hot when we got home

Vixdad is now enjoying his bowl of potato soup and I am enjoying my cuppa

[vixmom]

I don't remember ever being scared of any of the Disney villains as a youngun  but I do remember crying when Snow White died  and when Bambi's  mom  died and when Baboo the bear  died

[vixmom]

Should I have posted a spoiler alert?

Yes, I am sure Frozen appeals to  Tweens  - it was also loved by  21  year old Vixter and  *ahem *  somewhat older moi... it appeals for the same reason Wicked does:  it has strong women central characters and while men are there as friends and helpmates, they are not there to rescue the helpless damsel in distress

I participated in two long Ash Wednesday services today. Perhaps I scored extra "brownie points."     


I wasn't sure what to do about the ashes. I hemmed and hawed, and finally decided to wash my forehead and start over for the evening service. I was please to note that the other people also participating in the evening service had made the same decision.

[singdaw]

I understand that clergy from some churches are now taking their mission on the road, offering "ashes to go" at local malls.

Now, here's the kind of review I like - even though the other one was a great review it wasn't well written and was what I call a list review and written by someone who is not really a reviewer or writer.  Here's one by someone who has actually been reviewing for a long time for various publications - the fact that it's a rave is icing, but the fact that it actually has some thought behind it is even better.

That was a pleasure to read.

I was a warped child. I wanted a flying monkey for a pet. I thought they were wonderful.

[John G.]

Maleficent in "Sleeping Beauty" was a great villain.

[Dan M]

The stronger the villain the better the tale.  If villains were all made to be "complicated" and "misunderstood" then we'd all be watching Dr. Phil or Oprah.  Those stories are all too much real life.  Kids, and adults, want to visit storylands whether in books or in movies, where it is clear who is good and who is bad.  Anything else is just documentary.  I'm not sure if I've explained accurately what I have rolling around in my mind.  Think of the "Star Wars" series, once you learn the connection between Annakin, Luke and Darth Vader, it changes the whole tenor of the tale.  It would be as if Ian Fleming gave a Freudian explanation for Blofeld's need to have a cat.

I understand that clergy from some churches are now taking their mission on the road, offering "ashes to go" at local malls.

while in NYC today I saw a priest standing  on the sidewalk  and offering ashes to  passersby,   several of whom took him up on his offer

[vixmom]

Frozen was a only inspired by the Snow Queen it was in no way that story -  and there were some interesting twists

[George]

Maleficent in "Sleeping Beauty" was a great villain.

I wonder how the new movie, "Maleficent" with Angelina Jolie is going to be.

[George]

Well, I'm off to home...it's time.

Until later.

I always had my blanket ready to cover my head until that part of the movie was over

I just saw on the news they had drive up ashes today

I didn't mention the other day that I finally fired my doctor.  I called about my holter monitor results and the nurse was very short with me indicating that they had sent me an email. When I told her that the email didn't explain the results, she said "Well it's normal"  I told her that isn't what the email says and I had lots of questions and no way to ask them.   I finally told her that if I need to go to Web MD to figure out what they send me means then why even have a doctor.   I finally told her that I just want my records.  That I really don't trust the office anymore and I want to go somewhere else.  She was actually pretty pleasant about it after that

[Cillaliz]

So then I called a place that's really more of a teaching clinic.  It's all residents under the supervision of some docs.  I understand that but have heard good things about it.  I made it very clear that my problem with the last place I went to was communication and that they may have been very good, but I wouldn't know because they didn't communicate with me.   I scheduled a physical and plan to be very clear that I want things explained and not via email

[Cillaliz]

It was so nice to finally get the guts to tell the old clinic what I thought.  I also told the nurse that her explanation of why I went in last time wasn't right and wasn't what I told her.  She got really quiet about that.   Anyway, it's done.  I have no problem complaining about things for other people, but I'm really not that good at doing it for myself
