Oh the arrogance and self-importance. This is a the LA Times quoting movie executive Harvey Weinstein, one of the folks bemoaning RP's arrest: In an interview, Weinstein said that people generally misunderstand what happened to Polanski at sentencing. He's not convinced public opinion is...

Wow. These pin-heads would have a field day in the homeschooling world, where this kind of arrangment is SOP. One mom or dad may invite a bunch of kids over for a lesson or activity while the other parents may run errands...it's the kind of friendly helping out people do for each other in...

Just as a point of interest, a doctor friend of my sister's told her that a lot of the H1N1 cases are presenting like allergies. I too am combating with "keep my immune system healthy" techniques. I've never been a germaphobe but am being *religious* about washing my hands and am carrying a...

<hands shovel to Gayle> I'm right there with you. Let's get digging. I watched the Whoopi Golberg clips. Disgusting. And the guest host, Melissa Gilbert, couldn't string two coherent points together about it though she was siding with Whoopi. Who knew she was such a dingbat?

I don't plan to.

Put me down as horrified as well. That people think his "art" excuses his behavior appalls and infuriates me. If this were the plumber down the street or the UPS man it would be an entirely different story. Take the famous director part out and here is what you have: 47 year old...

Oh all great choices! My mom loves horror movies and thrillers and let us watch them when we were kids. I can remember watching When a Stranger Calls at the drive-in and being scared out of my mind. Ghost Story is another good one. Great memories I have as a kid -----> my mom loved the...

Anyone ever seen the 1932 film Freaks? Very disturbing. And certainly not a flick that could be made today!

Is that the one where the boys keep mom under the bed on that roll-y thing? Creepy!

I think this is good advice. Reminds me of what the headmaster at my brother's boarding school used to say about keeping all those restless teenage minds and bodies on the straight and narrow: work 'em hard, play 'em hard, fill them up with food - and send them to bed so tired they're asleep...

Halloween. The Grudge. The Exorcist.

The antibiotic stank! I know it well...:P

I'm one of those who loves eating, and like some of the others, it's a bummer that you don't when so much our lives is made up of it. :) That said, if you are OK with it, I don't think it's a big deal. People have different appetites and interests and as long as you are consuming enough...

Laura, do you have a Trader Joe's around? Check there. Also, try your farmer's market on the weekend. I've bought entire roasting chickens for that price! Also be careful what companies you are buying free range from. Sometimes they really aren't! The hens will have 15 minutes of fresh...

My sister uses one and loves it. I use Sea Pearls (sea sponge tampons) and like those. www.jadeandpearl.com

www.amazon.com :P Kidding! Basically - and this is really basically - it's about how the actions/arrest of a political dissident in China impact several other people in the small community, from a schoolboy to the eldery street-sweepers. The story takes place after her arrest, so she...

So thanks for the rec. I'm reading her short stories now, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers. Love love love finding out about new authors. Thanks again!

I also think people see manners and politeness as out-dated concepts practiced by the old-fashioned among us. I'd put privacy, honor, and self-respect in that category as well.

You are not unreasonable at all!! People are rude. My cousin told me that my sister and I were the only two people who bothered to RSVP for her graduation party. My nephew went to a friend's party at a bowling alley - 15 kids had RSVPed "yes" yet my nephew was the only one to show up...

Someone just told me about this. The whole thing is sick. Sick that a man would be so twisted on drugs and in his head that he would think this OK. Sick that a young woman would be so twisted on drugs and in her head that she would consent to it. Sick that she can sell books talking about...
