DVR alert, Monday and Tuesday American Experience (PBS) is doing a 2 parter on Walt Disney. I saw a preview and it looks like it might be good.

I've also been aware of this upcoming show. The preview was a bit bizarre, though, and I'll leave it at that. It will be interesting to see how they handle the 2-part show, and I'm hoping they'll balance out the various pros and cons.

Happy Friday to all of you! Where did the week go? Everything seemed to go by way too quickly. My dh is giving me Sunday off because he's taking the boys to his parent's for grandparent's day to do yard work. Yea! I think he's trying to make up for the fact he got me a pouring shield for my mixer's bowl and didn't check to make sure it's the right size for it now I have to go way out of my way to exchange it. It's the thought that counts, sometimes I wish he wouldn't be so helpful because it makes extra work for me.

I totally agree with your outlook. I wish I could be more positive at this time, but it's difficult when there's so much negative energy in my own household right now. We still have to wait until the end of the year before we can finalize the divorce and live separately (assuming we can agree to a settlement without going to court).

But, I have to say that chatting with all of you on this thread has really helped keep me distracted and feel some semblance of normalcy throughout this process. Plus, it's nice to have a place where I don't feel like I'm being judged or criticized. So thank you!

We're glad you're here! Actually, knowing about your home situation for some time now, I've thought that you've still (somehow) been able to contribute a lot here to the various conversations. The fact that you can detach for a while each day, from that other stressor in your life, shows strength and balance. Not everyone can do that.

Hee, hee . . . reminds me of one of my brothers, when I was a kid. He always wanted to "help" and would invariably mess up whatever it was, that he was "helping" with. Finally, after a few disasters , my father would just yell at him, "Resist the urge! Don't help!!"

Happy Fryday everybodya'll

Hi @MR FERRET !! How's the summerhouse coming along? Just thought I'd mention that we're into September now, and I was wondering if you'd finish it before next summer?!

I'm glad I'm going to be very busy today, I just realized today is 9/11. I'll never forget getting a phone call right when the first plane hit as a friend of mine was parking his car going into work and saw it. I was on the phone with him when the second plane hit. I was lucky I didn't lose anybody, but it took 3 days to find all my friends and family who were in the area when it happened If you get a minute remember those who were lost and the first responders.

Yah, we all have our own somber memories of that dreadful day. And, to think that I was enjoying the swimming pool at the Marriott WTC one morning; and that evening, sipping a cocktail with a friend up in Wild Blue, on the 107th floor of the North Tower . . . just about 2 weeks before that date . . .

Hmpf. I see the laptop spent the night tucked into my bed again. At least this time I closed it at some point.

Don't get me wrong I severely dislike snow, but there is something fun about walking outside in a light snow. It feels kind of magical, like walking in a snowglobe.

I joke about snow and cold, I hate cold more than snow. I love turning on the fireplace when it's snowing outside, drinking hot chocolate and reading a good book. That's a nice winter day. I just don't like to get out in the fluffy white stuff!

Does anyone know when the new 4 hour documentary on Walt Disney's life is going to be aired and where? I wanting to say it was supposed to be this weekend over a couple days. Hard to find when you don't know what the name of documentary is.

 

[betty rose]

Oh, I think maybe you might be referring to the early morning posts, but @figmentfan423 is busy getting the kids off to school now, so maybe that's why you haven't seen as many early a.m. posts as in the summer.

You are right it is the morning posts. And I'm usually off line when most people get on. So it's just shifted time wise.

 

[Gabe1]

Still can remember this day unfolding hour by hour. Likely always will.

 

[betty rose]

I hope you're right. My concern in that because my back was already injured from the last accident I was in that I screwed it up again. Going to my primary care doctor for a follow up next week.

I hope the best for you. Take it easy this week-end.

Hey guys! I'm just posting to say I changed my name here. You used to know me as theNmaster2000, but no more! I'm still the same guy, but now I've got a username that I like a whole lot better.

I like the new name, good choice!
