Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again

6 years ago

Yes Yes Yes.

In theaters in July.

I can not wait. I absolutly loved Mamma Mia. I don't watch tv but when Amiee and I sat down the first time to watch this movie I adored it. We watch it once in awhile and act such a fool by dancing thru the house.

Google the new one...rumor has it that Meryl Streep is dead in the new movie. My heart will be broken if this is true...

Oh and did I forget to say Cher is in the new movie.

Anyone else out there that LOVED Mamma Mia!

I was in London the first time I saw it on stage with a friend. We waited a couple of hours to get ‘return’ tickets and ended up on the third row. Loved it! Have seen the stage version about 4 times and still like it better than the movie.

Watched Mama Mia in the theater, with a friend, and mom father up the theater. We both (mom and I) cried when Meryl sings Slipping through my Fingers. We were still crying on the way out of the theater.

imdb shows Meryl in the cast of the part 2 movie

Went to the musical in Toronto and sat in the same seat as Princess Diana (I was told). I'm a huge ABBA fan, and admit I was so emotional, I cried through most of it. Loved it!

A couple of sanitary cycles with LCB did the trick on the gaskets. Only thing I had to so was on 1 cycle, I took a cloth to wipe the upper part of the gasket, threw some old towels in (to make a higher water load) and the gaskets are perfect. Inner, Outer, Backside of inner, etc. I must have done 6-10 loads of Sanitize, with 2 of them using dishwater powder and the rest LCB. Next is the outer drum. LCB did break up the top layer of whatever was on it. Assuming it's BioFilm, etc, any other suggestions on what will cut it without any mechanical agitation....Just short of me opening up the beast. I did not have citric acid on hand, so I used up 5 packets of descaling powder I use on my coffee machines. In removed very little bit of the biofilm when using this.. I need something that will do it ~ALOT MORE~ . Trying to see if I can get this clean chemically before I attempt to open the panels up..to get access

Here we go again. The start of another garden pest season.

Thank you both. I do have a fence. Deer are not the problem. It's the small buggers. I have done everything in my life to catch, trap, shoot, deter these plant eating, tick carrying pains in my butt. I have stopped growing things I have no control over and started going weekly to the farmers market. Somehow, shopping for local organic veggies is much more relaxing than finding my plants eaten by rodents. I'm tired. I have to get an electric fence out there. The fence I have has chicken wire at the bottom and along the ground but that does absolutely nothing. Do I have to cover everything with row covers? Pick off every single bad bug? Set traps everyday? What do you tell yourself to keep from crying and giving up? Maybe it's time to pay someone to come weekly to do some of the work. I already have a yard/mower guy but I don't trust that he knows how to garden, from what I've seen. My garden has always been my sanctuary, my pleasure, my relaxation. Now it's a source of heartache, physical pain, and frustration. I also have Lyme, chronic lyme, from the ticks on the rodents, which adds paranoia to the feelings.

I don't think you can fit two sofas in the room with the TV. Place the TV and console in the same place the current owners had it. Then look for a sectional or one long sofa with floating chairs to use at either end. Make sure the seating stays in the main area of the room and not in the walkways (no chair by the stairs). I think painting before they move in makes a lot of sense as long as they choose neutral light colors. Narrow down your options though - you don't need 11 whites to choose from. I would look for a neutral warm white with the floors and fireplace and possible antiques, and paint the ceiling white like the trim.

Tipping question-here we go again!
Q

Now I'm wondering if I've slighted someone ;0) I think I tend to tip fairly to generously, but do admit there are occasions where it just may not occur to me. DH will typically arrange for any auto service, retired now but worked 4 days a week for a few years, had a week day free and he would just walk across the street to Starbucks and wait - or have one of his coffee drinking friends pick him up. The last time I had a free ride from a dealer, I had dropped off my trade-in at one office of their ownership but my new car with papers yet to sign were at another about 8 miles away. They sent me to the second office in one of their cars with a 'boy', a lot boy I think - a teen, I'm sure not older. One who washes/details cars etc. It didn't occur to me to tip him. Now I'm thinking I should have.

Not a fan of the movie at all but I've seen it on Broadway about 6 times :)

I saw it on Broadway and also saw the movie. I am a huge ABBA fan so I'll be anxious to see it. Love the scenery in the movie.

I agree with Janie, I was very disappointed with the movie. I found it dull and flat compared to the energy and fun of a first rate live production. At each live performance I've been to, the audience has gotten very animated and into the song and silliness. I too saw it on Broadway, also in London and also the national touring company when they were in SF.

Loved the movie, actually bought it on DVD. Went to see the musical twice, once with friends in Lexington and a few months later, took my daughter to see it in Nashville.

Another huge ABBA fan here. Saw the live production 3 times. Have watched the DVD a number of times. Have a lot of ABBA music on my car hard drive. Have a concert DVD which is awesome. Love, love, love ABBA. YAY.... a new movie.

Ed to add that Meryl Streep is listed as a cast member at IMDb

Mamapinky, I meant to ask if you and Aimee will be jumping on the bed to the songs and using the hairdryer as a microphone while watching the movie! That scene always cracks me up.

Funny story. I was NEVER an ABBA fan...but back in 2000 we were traveling to London and everyone said we had to get tickets to MAMMA MIA.

I had no idea what it was about but just heard it was a musical....so we went.

As an aside I do find that when I have no expectations or idea of what something is about I usually really enjoy it. We both were just amazed how great it was.

Even bought the CD right in the theatre in London which is something I have never done before!

I became an ABBA fan (and by the way there was a great PBS thing on ABBA which totally converted me).

also went to see it on Broadway and enjoyed it (but the first time in London was really to die for).

I somehow have not yet seen the movie, although I have heard lots of differing opinions on that . .....
