it's so horrifyingly fascinating and sad. It has a way of taking you back to that time. I had no idea how much the public was lied to by the media about what was going on. I hear it's doing great in the ratings.

Not hooked, but I saw it last night and it was very - sm
interesting. Never really knew that much about WWII. Not surprized the US government lied about stuff back then. Guess some things will never change.
Ah, that hooked totally just did not fly
with the question of the medicine. This medicine is for my grown daughter and she is having a difficult time and just wondering if anyone ran up against the same. Thanks.
I could easily get hooked too. That is why I
do not watch those shopping channels anymore.
HBO series on addiction sm
HBO had an excellent series on addiction.It may be available on the Net someplace. They have what is called the *go* factor in the brain, etc. which stimulates the need for alcohol or drugs. I have attended many different lectures on this and it is very confusing. All I know is that it happens in the very best of families, drugs, alcohol, any feel good addiction can happen to anyone. I have a hard time dealing with it myself since some of my nearest and dearest have problems. All one can do is take good care of themselves and lead by example. This time of year seems to bring it all out - I used to dread Christmas and the loose lips that sink ships, one too many drinkers can ruin a holiday! It's funny in the movies but not in real life, it is a disaster. No one needs to apologize, glad the subject came up, it's a good *remember when* for me. I stopped buying booze several years ago and it is surprising how my guest list has shortened, thank goodness! I feel my life has improved for the better since alcohol is not on my holiday menu. You have to start someplace, why now with your own home sweet home? No more booze served here. A lot of us have walked that walk, it's a tough one.
twilight series
Isn't this really popular right now with teens?
Anyone else hooked on Project Runway?
Finale is tonight! Who do you think will win? I think it will be and want it to be Michael. 
Yes! love it!! I got hooked last year!
I don't agree with the polygamy lifestyle either, but never seen it before. Maybe that is why it is so fascinating!!
I hooked up with my dear friend after 30 yrs
She was my first roommate - We lost contact because both our phone #s were and still are nonpublished for 40 years.......her son is my godson - we all rehooked up, I flew to see them in the mountains - it was TRULY LIKE 30 years HAD NOT PASSED! Yes, we all look older but it was like we just picked up where we had left off. It was a great feeling. And her son and I see each other 4-5 times a year, he and his children stay here regularly.
Hope you find the same!!! Old good friends are hard to replace.....
We are also hooked on guitar hero
and my "closet" game is Webkinz!!
Can't afford to be hooked to anything, except typing right now!!!

Cost is approximately $300.00 for series.
Have you read the G.M Ford series with sm
Frank Corso? His very last book "Blown Away" was a cliffhanger, too. I keep looking to see if there is sequal to it, but I fear there isn't one. His other books were fantastic but that last book left me feeling like I need to write the author and beg him to publish a sequel so I know what happens to the main character. Just a warning, if you decide to read his books, read "Blown Away" last. 
Life, partly, is a series
of reality checks that feel sort of like a slap in the face. Our society plays up fantasy big time.
The older you get, the more you realize it really isn't what you thought it was, but you eventually also realize that even if it were all that, the importance all comes down to caring about and being cared for by other people (and animals of course) and the other stuff is kind of empty. :)
I would tell your husband you are feeling like you need a little excitement in your life, and maybe he can come up with something you can do to jazz it up a bit. Even little adventures (like tubing down a river, etc.) can make a world of difference.
I love them too...a friend of mine got me hooked..
I am now on 9...Stephanie Plum is a great character. I love the East Coast references because I grew up in Philly, so TastyKakes have a special place in my heart!
Does anyone bead? Just tried it and I'm hooked!! Any good web sites? Thanks. nm

I'm hooked on this show. Was surprised it didn't
Yeah and I can't wait! I got hooked on Jericho and
was sooo disappointed when they canceled it. It didn't just go on hiatus, they flat out canceled it. But, thanks to many, many fans and sending all those NUTS, it's going to be back on at least for another 7 episodes. I hope they get great ratings so they will write more episodes. I was bummed out that Gerald McRaney didn't want to stick around. Oh well, he'll just have to be fondly remembered.
Don't get the GE Prodigy series. Totally bite!! nm

Maybe they will create a series! Full House

Anyone else doing Oprah's Best Life series w/diet? sm
I am trying to follow Dr. Bob Green's advice, he said first 30 days of his diet are free, however, others have said, you have to give your credit card # so they can start to bill you after the first 30 days, I refuse to do that. I have been discontinuing the 6 bad foods, however, and doing more of his suggestions. Also, I loved the spirituality 101 workshop and it gave me some insight. I am not weighing myself, notice a little difference in my waistline, not much, but I do feel better and am hoping I can stick to it. Anyone else doing it? Perhaps we can support each other. They said to avoid "sabotage." My husband means well, but I have to keep reminding him and saying "NO" to some things he offers me. He means well, doesn't want me to get sick, but I'm trying very hard to stick to it. I could lose about 15 lbs., but it is sloooow, although this is the way to go, used supplements in the past and it plops right back on you when you least expect it? Anyone else???
Reading series - Brides of Lancaster County
I love to read!! I like Christian fiction and these books are about the Amish and are soooo good! Author is Wanda Brunstetter. My husband bought me about 60 books for Christmas. I have about four left to read!
That is, Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Series - nm

Happy Watching! I'm buying the whole series for myself as a Christmas gift.
Clan of the Cave Bear / Earths Children series
There are now five in the series - Ice Age story thoroughly researched by author Jean Aul. There is a website about these as well. Ayla is one of my favorite characters.
I also am a big Nora Roberts fan.
Does anyone read the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum books? I am hooked! sm
My MIL gave me the first three and said I would love them. I did but too much because I stayed up until 3 last night to finish the last one! I went out today and bought 4 through 13! I feel like a junkie but I absolutely love them!
Yeah, the True Blood series is basically like soft porn...
definitely not advisable for a 14 year old!!!
