Not a sobber over anything, rarely cry at movies except an animal movie, but even then I manage to hold it in and just have tears. I am always too embarrassed to cry in public so I hold it back and get the worst headaches! lol I remember my mom and I went to a Lassie movie in the late 70's and neither one of us had a napkin or a tissue. We bawled, quietly, thru that entire movie and had to sit in there for a few minutes after to let our red eyes and noses calm down. Our sleeves were soaked! It was the one with Jimmy Stewart and just hearing the music of the soundtrack will make me tear up. It's a good one! lol I'm sorry, Nicole, but if I heard out-loud sobbing in a theater, I would think it was someone cutting up and I'd probably shoooosh them, not realizing they couldn't help it!

Check out facebook. Just My Opinion..... I think that you see it all over fb and the site appears to encourage the sort of 'body language' and 'self promotion' in unhealthy ways. I seriously worry about so many 12 to 16 year olds who are committed to promoting themselves the way they do. I imagine that the older generation (pre fb) might have posed in provocative/sensual ways in front of their mirror..... but fb (including my own GD) is putting more than I am comfortable to see on fb. JMHO and do you believe it can be kept 'private'????

Actually...it flew by.Neither my husband and I are great sitters, but we were mesmerized and didn't get up once! I do agree that video at home is good since you can turn it off, watch more later, fix a snack, fix dinner, etc. If any of you ever have a chance to watch a movie at the State in Traverse City, do so. It's run by volunteers, seats are super comfy and banked so that shorties like me can see, and their snacks are super cheap....2 medium drinks and a medium popcorn (it was huge) for $7.50 total.

Why not, Barbara? If I waited for someone to go with me I'd have to wait a long time, unless my kids wanted to see a particular movie too. I try and go to the earlier movies, 1:00, 2:00. A lot of middle-aged and older women seem to go to these alone, so I don't feel weird.
