I've seen quite a few sad movies, but the two most DEPRESSING films I've ever seen were "The Field" and "Let Him Have It." Those movies gave not one iota of happiness or hope for the characters at the end, and I couldn't stop thinking about them for quite a while. This was especially true of...

BWHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!:D;)

Appreciating the human body isn't necessarily about sex! Hey, painters and sculptors have been creating art based on the human form for centuries. And even if it IS about sex, so what? That's what fantasy is all about.

Thanks, Ms. Li-berrian!!!

I understand all that. I still find it amusing that they can "spy" on their moms so easily and without being sneaky about it.

I have a different opinion from most of you, but that's neither here nor there. What I imagine is that your kids figure out that you all come over here and talk about them and tell your private life so openly, and it's here for them to read whenever they please. I'm sure some of them do it...

Jennie, I am so glad to hear that your SIL's family has been found and is okay. Thank goodness!

Amy, thank goodness! I'm so glad they're okay. Jennie, sending out positive thoughts for your sister-in-law's family. My friend sent us an update on FB yesterday. He was in the Dominican Republic, and should be flying into Miami today. I was watching the news this morning, and there...

Jennie & Amy, I'm sending you hope and hugs. Please let us know what you find out about your friends. We have a friend who left for Haiti last Friday on mission service. We found out that he and his family and the group he is with are all right. As one of our friends said, "His job just got...

Thanks! I'm a magazine-addict. I can't believe that Read for the Cure doesn't offer Bust Magazine, though. It's one of the best women's mags out there!!

That poor little island country never seems to get a break. Sending out tears, good thoughts, prayers, etc. to its people and the wonderful people who are trying to help.

Were you wearing a seatbelt at the time? How can you fight it if you weren't wearing one and you got caught? I'm pretty sure the cop will show up (as far as I know, they're supposed to), and I would bet that he will definitely tell the judge what really happened if you try to contest it...

I think it's a shame that some people dismiss a "serious" book as not being entertaining. Just because a book it a classic or is praised by literary critics, doesn't mean it's not a joy to read. For example, the book Beavs and I were discussing, A Confederacy of Dunces, won a Pulitzer, but I...

Thanks, Nance! Those were great.:D:D:D

Beavs, I'm so glad you read Confederacy of Dunces!!! One of the funniest books I've ever read. Did you have some laugh out loud moments?

Oops! Maybe I had too many martinis at the open house I just came back from!!! Okay, my favorite books that I read this year are: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith Tess of the d'Ubervilles by Thomas Hardy The Ghost in Love by Jonathan Carroll My Life in France by Julia Child &...

I've read only two books that were published in 2009, and both were by Nick Hornby: Juliet, Naked and An Education (which was really a screenplay). I enjoyed them both, very much.

Thank you! I get so annoyed with people saying that around here, too. Yeah, we're not used to it. It hasn't snowed this much this early in ages, so it IS a big deal. And I really don't care that my city might not be ready for it; I'd rather my taxes go to something other than the huge...

Don't back down. I had someone try to do that at a party I gave, and I said, sorry, but there would be other parents there and they would probably be ticked if someone else's kids came after they were told theirs couldn't. If she calls again, tell her you're sorry it didn't work out, but it...

DH & I made up our holiday rules shortly after we got married. We visited my relatives who live in another town the week before Xmas because it was my mom's birthday. We told everyone we wanted to spend the holiday at home. And we did. We also made a deal with DH's sister and brother-in-law...
