@Eric1955 , I agree with you! Gone With the Wind is a classic masterpiece.

Absolutely! I have the 75th anniversary special edition box set. It came with all kinds of cool stuff.

Camo, ammo, and jerky. You definately would fit in up here in Wisconsin!!!! I can drive over to Green Bay and they have Cabela's, Gander Mountain, ****'s, and Fleet Farm. Everything you need for outdoors fun. Oh, and jerky too!

Same for me on my side of the state in Wisconsin, and there is a locally owned sporting goods store all within about 45 minutes on either side of me!

Tim Conway was often ad-libbing (while on camera!) and would completely crack up the others!

Another of my favorites.

 

[seahawk7]

Harvey Korman and Tim Conway were the best at that. Tim could usually keep a straight face, but Harvey never could.

Yes I remember that, that was great. Vicki Lawrence was also funny.

Sounds like we have similar tastes in books. Anne of Green Gables was one of my favorite series, and Nancy Drew! I read everyone of those books.

I liked Ramona Quigley, Henry Higgens, and Encyclopedia Brown.

So I decided to switch this show on. The Royals, that started a couple weeks ago. I curious because, naturally, England, but I would never watch it to begin with. Sleazy but all British cast and shots of London =

What the smileys mean:

!st one - British accents and London scenery
2nd one - I want to live there
3rd one - self explanatory
Last one - I think you can figure that out.

11 days until Earth Day.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

thats what addiction does! XD

So is there another cruise in your future?

 

[MOXOMUMD]

@MOXOMUMD , I'm really enjoying your cruise recap! One of my favorite things you mentioned is about the 24-hour ice cream and yogurt machines! Wow!!! (Actually, ALL of the food you mentioned sounded delish!)

Thank you!

Cabela's reminds me of our Bass Pro Shop, love that store. It is massive inside.

Along with the Cabela's down the road, we have a Bass Pro Shop opening about a month from now, 15 min. from our house, in the town I went to HS in.

Phew! I am so glad that I am not the only one. It was on a list of recommended viewing for when I took screenwriting (similar to a summer reading list, we had a summer viewing list). I chose it because we had it. I had the DVD subscription to Netflix at the time. Should have gotten something else from that list.

My screenwriting teacher didn't get it. I told him that Scarlett's a b*tch the entire way through and she never changes or gets better; just so selfish that it drove me crazy. He challenged me to find a movie where a woman changes. @JenniferS would have been proud of me; I immediately said Titanic. He shrugged, told me I was right, and walked away.

It's funny, 'cause I have always looked at the character of Rose as someone who didn't "change", per se, but as someone who finally acknowledged and joyfully accepted her real self. She was never made to seem comfortable with her original station in life. A change on the surface, yes, but, in her heart, she was always the later Rose, to me anyway.
And, I'm not agreeing with your prof, I just think it goes a little deeper than that.

So I had to take my son to get some labs drawn this morning after work. It was a long wait. We both wanted breakfast afterwards so we stopped at our favorite Bavarian bakery and get pretzels. They only make them on Saturday.


So good.

I find that some teachers start off great and then they hit tenure and don't care anymore.

Yea, the whole tenure thing still, mostly, baffles me. If I got arrogant, lazy, and unproductive at my job, I'd be gone in a shot. Obviously, all teachers/professors don't go there, but, don't tell me way too many don't. I've done the research.

 

[donaldtoo]

In all my life I have never poked holes in them for the oven. I guess tomorrow I'll make baked potatoes to see the difference.

I've always poked 'em and wrapped 'em 'cause the skins stay more moist, and I like to eat the skins, too.

 

[donaldtoo]

I love this skit! I think it's hilarious how they try not to laugh through it.

Yep, that's one of the standouts, but that show was just an overall hoot!
We watched it every week, without fail...!

 

[donaldtoo]

We have one of those too. The Cabela's we go to is huge with an upstairs and restaurant. We go once a year for new camo, ammo and jerky.

Lot's of camo, ammo, and jerky down this way, too.
Although, I've never purchased any, we've got folks sellin' jerky on the roadside.

My grandmother grew up in Ireland. They did a lot of their cooking the old fashioned way--they'd often use their fireplaces for cooking. She said they'd take the potatoes and put a nail in them, and then put them in the hot coals to cook. She said the nail made them cook faster inside.

 

[Cesar R M]

So is there another cruise in your future?

there might.. but priorities..
health first!

 

[donaldtoo]

Yum, I'm jealous.

Thanks, it was great!
A beef fajita, chicken flauta, cheese enchilada, refried beans, and rice...!

Sorry about the meat protien...

 

[donaldtoo]

I would have complained partway through the semester about that professor. Heck, if this were my home school, I'd complain, but can one really complain when one is essentially taking a class there for free? Not really.

I'd say, oh yes you are entitled to complain. It doesn't matter to me who is or isn't takin' the class for "free", that slacker needs to be doin' her job.
