Hey!! Where is everyone???
Comments (42)Jaq....I'm glad my kids are adults. There are still problems with their spouses, their kids & their finances. Dealing with a headstrong wayward female teen...thats a really tough one. I wouldn't want to go thru that pain & frustation. Plan to be there and help her "pick up the pieces" when her world crashes around her and hope she learns from her mistakes. When I was 19 PG and "had to" get married, my mom (she's gone now almost 10 yrs and I miss her & her wisdom terribly) raked me over the coals for being so stupid and irresponsible and much more. I had the audacity to throw back to her that at least was better than her, at least I graduated from high school before getting PG (she was 15 when she "had" me). I thought I knew everything. I broke her heart and she only wanted better for me than she had. It took me less than a year to see how stupid I was. She never reminded my of my stupidity, just stepped in and helped me all she could. I've had company in small bunches almost all month and have been on my feet way too much. My bad foot is giving me problems. I called a couple week break from company. George was home last week and we bought a new boat Sat, then he left Sun. I spent much of Sun cleaning up the old boat to sell and Mon and Tues running around getting it in for consignment sale and getting the money for the new boat. I quit....I'm taking a COUPLE DAYS OFF and I am going to lay around with my leg up and read...sleep & eat junk food!...See More5-Question GTKY
Comments (37)1. What city (town) were you born in? 2. What pets do you have and what are their names? 3. What is your favorite Beatle's song? 4. What is your favorite season? and why? 5. Who is your favorite actor? and why? 1 and 2 I don't want to answer (security), but 3: "Across the Universe" 4: Spring! Even chose something related to it for my last name. Spring is so much to me. 5: Two of my all-time favorites: Peter O'Toole, Katherine Hepburn (either together or separately : )). Others, i.e. I'll see a movie for no other reason than that s/he's in it: Yes, Cate Blanchett, Leonardo deCaprio (might sound dopey, but IMO he's in the running for the title of the Spencer Tracy of our generation...he simply *becomes* his character to an extent that people don't give him credit for acting; he's been impressive ever since Gilbert Grape). I like Matt Damon too, and the guy who played the obnoxious professor in Paris at Midnight (also played Wesley Snipes in 30 Rock, and David Frost). I seem to recall seeing him in a film about the end of apartheid--secret negotiations between the ANC and DeKlerk's brother--anyone remember that? Great movie....See More50 years ago TV.

Comments (62)I was just thinking of Car 54, Where Are You? today!!! Small world. Remember Hawaii 5-0 and that wonderful drumbeat solo toward the end? Reruns of My Little Margie on at noon. A bit OT, but in the 70s: It Takes a Thief with Robert Wagner. LOVED him. Welcome Back, Cotter (love the song to this day) Back to the 60s: 77 Sunset Strip. Cricket. Dr. Kildare Burke's Law F Troop!!!! What a song! Lost in Space McHale's Navy Outer Limits Twilight Zone Shindig Sugarfoot Jim Bowie, Jim Bowie! Carol Burnett Dick Van Dyke: Roo-oo-bbbb! The Rat Patrol What a trip. Glad I saw the link!...See MoreFebruary Discussion - Small Island by Andrea Levy
Comments (54)>But even amongst those who are of British descent it seems curiously watered down in places such as, say, Colorado and Texas, two that I have experience with That may be, tho you'd be surprised by how many Angliophiles we have here in the southwest desert. In fact, perhaps more so - in this part of the country, people want everything new. In my city, just about everything older than 1950 is gone (with the exception of a few neighborhoods) People think 'antique' is before WWII. So my first trip overseas as a new High School graduate was eye opening to me. I was in Israel - and suddenly I realized how old the world is. I was fascinated by the cities made of adobe and the buildings that existed hundreds of years ago. I remember being in the Israel Museum and standing forever it seemed at the Dead Sea Scrolls. ASince then its been a love affair with the ancient. Which is probably why I love going to Britain (and I got my husband hooked on it too) So sometimes its what you don't have that makes you appreciate another place. >Would this have been the same in the US of that time? Yes, until the 60s. The main reason that memorization of such things was pushed aside is that it wasn't relevant to the kids. But they didn't think of a better way. If they teach about the rivers and lakes and main exports within the context of historic or cultural lessons, they'd find the kids much more intersted, and they'd even learn some geography on the way. >This woman's "dream" was to come and work for the royal family, and she emigrated and sought out this employment. I was a bit surprised at her ambition and devotion in this day and age We forget sometimes how very lucky we are, with the myraid of choices and options we have. Many others in other countries, esp women, don't. Working for the queen for this lady probably beat anything else she'd ever want to do, and had never had an idea that she could do better. Bet in a few years tho, she will! >What's with that? The one country they were taught about in school the longest was probably Britain, and so they associate historic fiction with it. Also suspect that there are probably more movies that take place in Britain than in other countries. Would be interesting to know. As for me, I have always loved cultural geography and historic fiction anywhere. But I do know what you mean. btw veer - we will be going to Ottawa (and Montreal and Quebec City) in June. Can I pick your brain about Ottawa? We already have a list of the usually museums and such, but maybe out of the way places, day trips?...See More- 2 years ago
