Good morning.

TOD: Yep, I think "Broadcast News" and "Jaws" are going to be the clear winners today. Although I did also like Dreyfuss in "Down and Out in Beverly Hills". I know a lot of people really liked "Raising Arizona" (Hunter), but I never liked that film.
I, too, saw "Always" many years ago and I thought it was okay. I enjoyed learning something about what's involved in putting out forest fires. But what was truly pathetic was how the movie "Ghost" totally ripped off "Always" a year later. Of course, Ghost was a better film (mostly because of Whoopi Goldberg), but still I don't think plagiarism like that should be allowed.

Monday morning greetings! I don't have a good excuse for not checking in yesterday. Richard and I went to Lima and I took a 2-hour nap in my chair when we got home. Then started catching up on Madam Secretary on my iPad before watching last night's broadcast episode. Then I got involved in the Inspector Lewis that Richard was watching on PBS.

So glad to see DR Ben has returned. You and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers.

Ginny · « **Reply #34 on:** October 20, 2014, 07:20:28 AM »

TOD - I like Richard Dreyfuss in The Goodbye Girl and Holly Hunter in Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? (one of our family favorites).

Ginny · « **Reply #35 on:** October 20, 2014, 07:23:06 AM »

So, today Richard and I are taking Mary Linda to the Dayton airport for her business trip to Chicago. On the way home, we'll stop at Home Depot to initiate some conversations about some major kitchen work. Our 16-year-old dishwasher has died, so we're going to replace it, along with the sink, countertops, refrigerator (28 years old), and microwave.

Yes, DR Ben - no problem playing CDs or YouTube clips.

DR Ginny - all it takes is money, right?

Yeah, DR Singdaw...

But we haven't spent money on these things for a long, long time.

My legs are so sore today and I'm trying to figure out why.

I have been biking 5 times a week since Labor Day. But last weekend I did not bike sat-sun-mon (not feeling well).I biked Tuesday. But wed-thurs-fri were raining/cold/too windy. I biked inside on Saturday and biked outside on Sunday (and raked leaves). And this morning my legs hurt so much.

Maybe biking indoors is more strenuous cause i'm peddling so much faster?

Jennifer · « **Reply #40 on:** October 20, 2014, 08:16:31 AM »

Thanks to everyone once again for the kind words on my award! It was most pleasing to win it.

TOD:

So many for both of them.....but then I also DON'T like them in others.....so

Dreyfuss: Jaws, The Goodbye Girl, The Competition, Mr. Holland's Opus, Valley of the Dolls

Hunter: Raising Arizona, Miss Firecracker, The Texas Cheerleader Murdering Mom, and a TV movie Harlan County War

John G. · « **Reply #45 on:** October 20, 2014, 09:05:00 AM »

Jennifer, I loved "Grand Budapest Hotel," but I may be in a minority here on that one.

I have absolutely no memory of Dreyfuss in "Valley of the Dolls".

I never considered "Ghost" to be a rip-off of anything. In "Ghost", the protagonist protected his loved one from his murderer through the help of a medium.

Nothing like any of that in "A Guy Named Joe" or "Always" (which was based upon the former film).

However, if it's just the idea that a deceased love is intervening in the life of his or her former spouse or partner, it's a concept that has been used in many films.

I'm up, I'm up. Again with the seven hours. It's overcast outside.

Taking clothes to the dry cleaners shortly. My usual dry cleaners up and moved about four months ago, so I'm trying a new one.

bk · « **Reply #51 on:** October 20, 2014, 09:52:55 AM »

Thanks to those who listened and said nice things about the little song. Much appreciated.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #52 on:** October 20, 2014, 09:54:33 AM »

Your prediction came true DR RLP....you should hang out a shingle.

Mr Dreyfuss was the Stage Manager in Valley of the Dolls who knocks on Neely's door to tell her she's on....."My God, she's wearing her second act dress." "So....I'll do the second act first...."

Jrand74 · « **Reply #53 on:** October 20, 2014, 09:55:42 AM »

New Dry Cleaning Vibes for MR BK.

The Crest Cleaners in Mooresville for 50 years, suddenly became the Vista Cleaners in Mooresville....but they did a nice job pressing my tuxedo....so I guess they are my new Cleaners.

Ginny, I'm so sorry on the loss of your 16-year old dishwasher.

But congrats on getting a new kitchen!

I had a very strange dream early this morning just before I woke. I was being prepped for surgery, and I asked to use the bathroom. Joshie the cat trotted behind me to the bathroom, but when I came out he was gone. So there I was, partly sedated and wandering around the mall (?) in a hospital gown calling for him.

I woke up calling "Yoshie." I guess I was too asleep to be able to make a "J" sound. I was glad when he jumped up on the bed with me.

DR LAURA the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream indicates that you have expectations of upcoming changes for members of your family - changes that you are more prepared for than they are....continued encouragement to them will be most helpful.
