Work, watch movies, etc
Staying home is not hard for us at all. We have no kids to entertain, no family or friends here, and our cat is lonely when we're not here. We have so many projects to work on at home that I love turning on an old movie on AMC and work on my quilts. DH is into computer games. Also we have sorting, straightening, cleaning, paying bills, and all the stuff I can't do when I work from 7 am to 10pm
Whenever I watch one of the Jurassic Park movies,
velociraptors. But mostly T-rexes. The weird part is, I and the people I'm with in the dream aren't really AFRAID of it, but it's presence is an almost-daily ANNOYANCE that we have to take cover from as the dinosaur passes by. In one dream, right in the middle of some sort of fun activity, "Dang! The Rex is coming!" and we all ended up hiding in a bunker of some kind 'til it went away.
Tom Hanks

Be Happy Listen to Jimmy
http://solosong.net/jimmy.html
Happy Valentine's Day - We are going to a luncheon at local county club compliments of physicians at Lakewood Regional Medical Center.
1-3 P.M. I am taking some business cards although I think this is for Sr. Citizen GTG. I'll drink to that as well, always open to new friends but there may be a doc or 2 and I know how to work a room real well so might as well have a few cards in my pocket. Never fails, elevators, coffee shops, alway running into a potential client either for me or for my many associates !
I'm oddly amused by the Jimmy Dean ads,
the one where the father's job is working as the sun. He is the sun, and he gets no respect, and yet he's the only one who is happy in the ads.

Jimmy Kimmell has been doing jail scenes on her

Hey, I didn't know Jimmy Carter posted

I use Mrs. Stewart's bluing. . sm
It is the same stuff that some older women put on their gray hair and sometimes if they use too much, it comes out blue. I have a well also with a lot of sulfur and iron, so I use bleach. (I also use about a tablespoon of bleach with my towels because nothing else will get the odor out. I even tried vinegar.) I think when you use bleach on whites, it takes something out of the fabric and causes it to become gray or yellow. The bluing puts it back into the fabric. I buy it by the fabric softener at my grocery store. I think I paid $3 for it and it will last a long time. Hope that helps!
Martha Stewart
Another favorite of mine but I never get to watch or record her anymore because she is on the same time as my Y&R and...well...that out ranks Martha. I used to watch Martha so much my mom started calling me Martha and my hubs Stewart. LOL
Our family recipe always had pork sausage (i.e. Jimmy Dean). nm

Harry F. Truman and Jimmy Carter were both Southern Baptists...sm
when they were presidents of the US...ergo Christian denomination. 
Today I would like to see Martha Stewart
wtih cleaning supplies in hand. After that, John Cusack. Still crazy for him after all these years. Most romatic scene ever in a movie....Holding the boombox over his head in "Say Anything"
Martha Stewart's recipe
I'm sure you can look it up on her website. I have her cookbook and have been using her recipe for years! It's not fool proof, as I have found that fresh eggs don't peel as well but do peel a little better if I use her method and I NEVER get that green ring or the dot of slimy uncooked egg when I use her recipe. It's very simple too. I wish I knew it exactly from memory but I don't - the closest that I can come is this (though if you want to try it I would pull her recipe and not use mine from memory lol)
Start eggs in cold water. Put on the stove. Bring to a boil. Heavily salt the water (1-2 tablespoons for a normal sized 1 quart sauce pan). Cook 7 minutes. Turn heat off and let stand for 5 minutes. Place into ice water. Peel under running water. Then you can store them peeled with wet paper towel in a zip top baggie or platic tightly covered dish for a few days if needed.
I'm 30 and have the nickname of Martha Stewart
if that tells you anything. Yes, I am a minority among people my age but I am also more mature and at a different place in life than most of the people I know at my age. Married, kids, etc. I love to sew, when I have time. I cook from scratch. I make my child's halloween costume. Now expecting a baby and making my own burp clothes, fitted sheets, receiving blankets, and cloth wipes. It's a small part of society but there are still some of us out there! :) I learned these skills mainly from other women in my life during childhood but also in girl scouts. home ec was a very small piece of it for me.
Epicurious.com, Rachel Ray, Martha Stewart, etc. sm
Google away, I will look up some recipes but sometimes the latest are good also and "tested," I have tried some oldies which did not turn out well, be sure they are "tested" first. Get back to you if I can find some I pre-tested. Good idea, love home baked or home made items, shows you care!
I saw this on Martha Stewart....you pour salt into a paper bag
put the flower head first into the bag upside down, twist the top sorta so salt doesnt fall out and shake it around like shake-n-bake. it breaks up the dust and knocks it off..never have tried it myself though..but sounds like it might work..martha stewart style.
Martha Stewart did it on her show a couple years ago.
I wrote the directions down and never got to them. I remember you soak them and dry them and then sand them lots - I think acrylic paint and glaze. There are lots of local craft shows where I live and there are a couple gals that do them - bird houses, bowls, one does the neatest bright red apple ones. Just looks so neat and think it would be fun. SO - you might try doing a Google on Martha Stewart/gourds or something like that. Good luck.
I'll have to check that out. I love the Martha Stewart
crafts. Thanks for all the help.
My current cat doesn't watch much TV, but my last one liked to watch hockey. sm
He would sit in front of the TV and swat at the puck now and then. The only time my current 4-year-old cat watches TV is if the TiVo restarts for some reason and that little animated video comes on with the dancing TV and the loud music. He's fascinated by that and will come running to sit and watch it.
Movies
How do you like Netflix? I have considered joining. We don't generally rent a lot of movies though.
Thought you might want to add one to your list . . . I got the recommendation from Helen Reddy's web site, and I really enjoyed it -- it's called "What the Bleep Do We Know". It's sort of a docudrama/comedy starring Marlee Matlin. Kind of how things are and how they might be. Check it out:

movies
How about Steel Magnolias.
I think you have two different movies . . .
Cary Grant was in both of them. "Why don't you come up and see me sometime" was She done him wrong. "when I'm bad" is from "I'm No Angel".
At least according to:

movies
On a lighter note, what good movies have you seen lately? Last night, we went to see, "You dont mess with the Zohan" with Sandler. It was funny to me, not the best movie, but a good comic relief. I also saw Iron Man, which was good to me just because of Robert Downey Jr. who is HOT!
Sad movies
Have you ever watched a sad movie that you were still crying even when it's over. I just watched The Notebook last night. What a great movie but an absolute tear-jerker. I will still crying after the credits were rolling and it was going on to the next movie. Thank God DH did not come into the room. I would have felt like such a dork. What movies have you cried at? Another one I saw that was a tear-jerker but had a happy ending was Steel Magnolias.
Yes, it is great, and more than movies
I started renting shows, like Will and Grace and Desperate Housewives, things I didn't watch much in the past, starting from the very beginning, one season at a time. It's really great! Oh, and if you haven't done the sex and the City thing, start renting them. You will be hooked from the 1st season. Many women I know says that is their all-time favorite "woman" show.
Which is better - books or movies?
I never really caught on to the whole Harry Potter thing - it even took me a while to like the movies. But everyone is so crazy about the books, my curiosity is killing me. I don't have a lot of extra money to invest to quash my curiosity, so which should I invest in - the movies or the books? I do know that usually books are better than movies, but I'd hate to spend all that money if the movies are just as good!
Have u seen the movies What the Bleep Do We
Both movies can be life changing! What The Bleep Do We Know is about quantum physics, but it is explained in a way that is easily understandable! It is really amazing, and I would recommend it to anyone who has been feeling negative or hopeless or powerless lately or just wants to expand their brain and learn something totally alien.
The Secret has similarities to the above movie, but with more simplified explanations. I pretty much forced my mom to watch The Secret because she has had such a negative view lately and gone through some tough times, and even though she can be a bit skeptical, she loved it! It really inspired her, and the next day she had a terrific career idea and is at least focusing on the positive a bit more.
I think a simple thing like a movie or a book or even a new idea from a stranger can cause a slight shift in one's consciousness and can help create a more positive outlook on life, and watching these movies really did make me want to enjoy the beauty of life a little bit more each day and look forward to the adventures life brings and just really feel alive!
I just wanted to recommend the movies to you and also know your thoughts if you have actually seen either movie and if/how they affected your lives. (~kam)
Loved all these fun movies sm
You had Joe Pesci correct. I am not a person who swears a lot but he swears so much, it gets hilarious. Of course, I watch him with no kids around. He swore so much in Casino that I was laughing all by myself. Husband and I are getting older, so we joke about Python's skit - Bring out your Dead! But I'm not dead yet! So hilarious! Thanks for the laughs. No offense meant by the swearing, I just love Joe Pesci, loved him when he was ordered by the court to live in his own slum houses. I am sure he's a much nicer guy in person. Thanks for the memories.
we watched movies
Chuck and Larry was one of them. We had shrimp cocktail and stuffed clams and those little hot dog pastries and mini quiches, and then at midnight champagne and Italian pastries. It was a nice night. Happy 2008 all.
Try Out Red Box for renting movies.
pppp
I just watched 2 great movies.
We rented Spitfire Grill and I caught Guarding Tess on cable. I've seen both before, but what great movies.
THE HOLIDAY!!!!! I saw it 4 times at the movies with all sm
different sets of friends. SOOO romantic - ultimate chick flick. I never saw a movie with Jude Law before that one. MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME! Jude Law is amazingly gorgeous. I promise, you will love this movie. Ultimate in romance and humor!!Even my husband liked it and he doesn't like chick flicks.
he is cool - love all his movies -

Anyone download movies on the net for free?

What are your favorite funny movies?
Mine are (in no particular order)
Wagons East
Super Troopers
Anchorman
Baby's Day Out
Almost Heroes
Elf
Yes, those Batman movies sure are scary.
xxx
I love TCM. Great movies.
xx
I gotta go with the American Pie movies
Especially American Wedding when Stiffler eats dog doo! These movies make me pee my pants -- speaking of which, my fav romantic movie is Pretty Woman - that's her line in the opera scene when she tells those old biddies "it was so good, I almost peed my pants."
My best friend loves Grease, too. She knows every single line (which can get quite annoying).
What are your favorite holiday movies
Now that the holidays are just around the corner we'll be seeing more and more holiday movies. I'm not into the holidays, but I do like holiday movies. What are some of your favorites. I like:
1. Home for the Holidays (starring Holly Hunter) - very funny.
2. Bed of Roses (with Christian Slater) - very Romantic.
3. All the cartoon/animation kids shows like Dr. Seusse's Grinch that Stole Christmas and Rudolph the Rednose Rheindeer (DH loves to imitate the abdominal snow man - and we walk around singing we are Santa's elves while we make movements with our arms like the the animated characters - it's a hoot and we always end up laughing). :-)
4. Homecoming - Christmas story with the Waltons.
My favorite holiday movies...sm
I love The Grinch with Jim Carey. I also have always loved The Christmas Story since I was a kid.
Watching movies online
What is the site where you can watch a movie without paying anything?
thanks
tv-dome.net has movies and TV shows.

Any of the Star Wars movies...
Space movies bore me.
If you rent movies by mail, which service are you using and
s
Many movies on cable have scenes deleted SM
for one reason or another. I don't like it either.
Look, I'm liberal, so I agree with PC of deleting scene, but also agree with your point about censorship. That movie was funny, as, ahem, heck.
Agree with all yours and add Harry Potter movies...nm

all Adam Sandler movies will make you laugh
