I arrived here just before Thanksgiving, and everything was cold, stark, and white for 5 months.

Now, the old tree-lined streets are incredibly lush, verdant, and shady. It is almost a shock every time I step outside!

FIVE, by the way.

Really hoping we get approval this week, although the studio is very busy with current films about to be released. It's a major release for us and one of the great saves, right up there with A Place in the Sun, but an even more iconic and beloved movie, in fact, perhaps one of the five or ten most beloved movies of all time. Anyone know whereof I speak?

It's highly probable that the first books I bought were movie tie-ins, too. As I think we've discussed here before, they were a major passion, and I'm extremely fond of the favorite ones I've kept over the years.

No, damn it.

We had Scholastic book fairs at school every year starting in first grade. I suspect my first purchase was probably Clifford the Big Red Dog

Oh, it's not hard to guess - beloved classic, high on most people's best of all time list, and no actual soundtrack ever released before. I can only say that I just visited a Facebook page for the film and it has over 600,000 likes. I think if we got one percent of that I'd be very happy. Of course we'd be sold out six times over

I am pretty sure this was my first stereo I bought it when I was in my first apartment when I was 20

Obviously, it's not At Long Last Love.

Casablanca and Citizen Kane come to mind.

But then again, some website said last week that The Empire Strikes Back was the greatest movie ever made, even better than the Godfather.

I am not sure about my first album but I know for sure the first 45 I bought with my own money

vixmom · « **Reply #131 on:** June 03, 2014, 08:03:53 PM »

The flip side was "I should have known better"

vixmom · « **Reply #132 on:** June 03, 2014, 08:04:30 PM »

I wonder if I still have this... I have a bunch of old 45's in their cases in the basement somewhere....

vixmom · « **Reply #133 on:** June 03, 2014, 08:12:01 PM »

This was probably the first album I bought; if not the first, definitely in the top 5

vixmom · « **Reply #134 on:** June 03, 2014, 08:12:57 PM »

I might still have this in the basement as well

John G. · « **Reply #135 on:** June 03, 2014, 08:19:52 PM »

Hope you are feeling better, Vixmom. Did you get the test results?

John G. · « **Reply #136 on:** June 03, 2014, 08:24:20 PM »

$975 for this flopsical poster. Oy.

John G. · « **Reply #137 on:** June 03, 2014, 08:26:26 PM »

I love this one. It's only $375.

I ate the chocolate doughnut and some of the fritter, the edges that didn't have all the stuff on them. I put a couple of the chocolate chips on my chocolate doughnut which was good.

We save about half of the fritter and didn't finish it. Keith might have but our "protester" ruined the fun for him.

How long did you spend in line at VooDoo?

no I called the dr's office 3 times and no return call I know he had the xrays and readings last night

vixmom · « **Reply #140 on:** June 03, 2014, 08:44:04 PM »

It is unusual for my doctor I wonder if he even knows I called in

John G. · « **Reply #141 on:** June 03, 2014, 08:55:58 PM »

Well, here's a prayer you get some good news and some pain relief -- and soon.

TCB · « **Reply #142 on:** June 03, 2014, 08:59:02 PM »

T.O.D.

I may have purchased some 45 before this, but the first LP I remember buying was ANYTHING GOES with Hal Linden and Eileen Rodgers.

I am sure they feel the same about you!

Well, at least the lush and verdant part.

Hello, everyone.

Continued vibes to Vixmom for feeling better and being strong and healthy.

Is the cough any better?

It sounds really lovely. I'm glad you and the DH found such a nice neighborhood.
