I used to love scary movies but now I can't even consider watching them. Guess I've changes i
Woolworth's 5&10, Sat.afternoon at the movies - 2 movies for the price of 1

Here's what I've used and loved it...
Abacus SE performs two functions. It is a counting software, but also creates accurate invoices.
The program is very user friendly and best of all, it has a trial version with no time limit.
I've always loved to type, enjoy words, & the act of
I've been on Celebrity and Princess. Loved them both. Lots of info at cruisecritic.com. nm

We actually had some old 8 mm movies...
put on video (some years back) and they must have thought we were a bunch of hicks because to go along with our vintage 1960s era Christmas morning movie, they put the movie to music, of all things, Turkey In The Straw. I actually went on E-bay and bought an old projector that plays 8mm and super 8mm and we watch all the old movies on an old projector. It's fun, but I know they will deteriorate eventually. Nothing more weird than seeing my mother at age 27 (5 yrs before I was born), dragging on a cigarette. She quit when I was 3, so I have no memory of this. Old movies are so much fun.
He has been in a lot of movies and was
voted People Magazines Sexiest Man Alive this year.

 That's a difficult one - probably would include From here to eternity (the original), i'm telling my age! Cape Fear, urban cowboy!
fav movies
1. The Frenchman and the Beautician
2. Top Gun
3. Meet The Fockers

I also loved history of violence, I didn't think I liked that main guy in an old movie, but he was quite good! And I think william hurt played an excellent mean person (is that a compliment??)
I think it's because he's doing too much. Look at how many movies he's made in the last fe
all in a row. Plus, the divorce surely is adding to that. As far as Angelina, don't blame her. If Brad was in love with his wife, he wouldn't have strayed. Plus, it obviously isn't just an "affair." It seems they are developing a relationship. Also, don't forget, Angelina was the victim of a cheating husband and had her heart broken, so she knows that pain. I think Brad and Jennifer spent too much time apart. And he does have a history of falling in love with his co-stars - Gwyneth and Juliette to name two.
Seen any good movies lately?
I liked The Pacifier and National Treasure. We are planning on having an outdoor movie night using a white sheet nailed to the side of the house and a projector to the DVD player on the computer, but I can't think of anything good to rent.
Scary movies
Creature From The Black Lagoon.
The original Phantom of the Opera with Lon Chaney.
Pay per view movies
Our pay per view channels are the 100's. Your system might be different. Our system is supposed to be connected to a phone line always, but a lot of the time it is not. We can usually still order movies with our remote. My SIL only has a cell phone now, so I do not know how she does it. We select the channel with the movie that we want. Press info. You can arrow up to exit if you do not want to purchase the program, or press menu to purchase the program. Our system is older, so yours may work a little differently. W have learned to be very careful because it is easy to order a movie that you really do not intend to. Sometimes you can go into purchases and cancel. With some things, you cannot. My husband, who is very technically challenged, sat there one night and accidently surfed where he did not belong and accidently rented some kind of special adult presentation. We immediately tried to cancel, but were unable to do so. You can also go online to rent a movie, which is also easy, or you can do so by phone.
when movies were 25 cents and you could...sm
send 10 letters thru the post office on $1.00
geesh - I'm older than dirt.......*LOL*
Drive in Movies sm
I remember as a kid going to the drive-in movies with my mom hiding us in the backseat so as not to have to pay for all of us.
As a kid I remember the amusement truck coming around and we could take a ride on the "whip" for $0.25.
I remember when it was legal to open the fire hydrant and get wet during hot summer days. (Yes, I lived in a "city").
I remember "Happy Days" was the hit show when I was a teen and the boys tried to look and be like the "Fonze".
I also remember as a teen, a bag of Doritos was $0.25.
Can you guess my age?
(Hint - between 37 and 39) LOL.
I love old movies too...
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Barefoot In The Park
Gone With The Wind...I love them all!
Well, I like his movies, so neener.

How do you order movies from Direct TV?
I'm a fairly new subscriber to Direct TV and up until now when we wanted to watch a movie, we would just go to the video store and rent one. I know Direct TV lets you order those movies from them and they put it on your bill and you get to watch the movie when you want to. Do any of you do this and do you find it more convenient/more expensive? Also, do you have to have a phone line to do this? Exactly how does it work? Thank you for the info and feeling a little dumb having to ask!
what are your favorite top 3 movies of all time?
1. A River Runs Through It
2. The Notebook
3. Bladerunner
Some older movies, but good ones...
The Life of David Gale...excellent movie...Kevin Spacey, I think...
Mona Lisa Smile...Julia Roberts...I really liked this one, so did my teenage daughter...
Forrest Gump, of course, one of my all-time favorites...we all know who he is (and the soundtrack is awesome)!!!
Have a lovely weekend...
Movies that are so bad they're good.
I'm gonna check that one out. I love movies like that. Nicholas Cage in Vampire's Kiss - same story, very young, bad movie, but boy did he give it his all. Talk about over acting.
Jack Nicholson movies
He is my favorite actor and starred in two of the funniest movies I ever saw: Goin' South (which he also directed) and The Fortune (with Warren Beatty)--both hard to find but absolutely hilarious!
You want strange movies - check out the
Joaquin Phoenix and Vince Vaughn was really a good one. Also, I happened to come across a movie about 3 or 4 years ago that turned out to be one of my favorites - Last of the Dogmen with Tom Berringer and Barbara Hersey - I HIGHLY recommend this movie - It's not a war movie but I don't want to tell you what it's about because it would ruin the surprise.
Typing Captions for TV&Movies
Does anyone here type captions? I want to know more about this, as I was watching TV w the captions on and wondering who types the words. I wonder if you just get to watch TV and type what you hear all day long...that would be so sweet.
totally agree on Heston movies....nm

Top 100 inspiring movies on tonight, CBS, 8-11pm. nm
s
I was watching one of the Freddy movies where the girl was pregnant.
Anyway, I slept in the basement and my parents slept upstairs. It was about midnight when I was watching this Nightmare on Elm Street movie. Our dogs were in the kennel next to my bedroom and started whining. I heard something thump in the ceiling of my bedroom, so I hightailed it upstairs to sleep on the couch. The next morning, we saw what looked like a coiled up snake inside the fluorescent light fixture in my bedroom. It was a studded dog collar and a rusty butcher knife inside the fixture. How it got there, we don't know but it wasn't there before I watched the movie. We can only guess that someone or something was after me that night. I stopped watching scary movies for about 15 years after that. Now, to see snippets of the Nightmare movies, they're so lame and fake.
Watch the original, its funny too- one of my favorite movies - sm
George Segal and Jane Fonda-- curious about the remake.
Same theme, but CBS on Wed. is to review the top 100 inspirational movies. Should be good! nm
m
Yeah! We would go to the movies for 75c - triple feature horror flicks -
Vincent Price and Boris Karloff. Of course, we were too busy 'making out' to watch the movies! That is, until the usher came by a shined the flashlight on us!
I use EXText with my current job and I've used at a couple of other jobs I've had. I've ne
used DocQscribe, but I have used Meditech, Cerner, Vianeta, the Precyse platform (I can't remember the name), Dolbey, and Lanier platform I think was called Cequence (?).
Out of all the different platforms I have typed on, I have liked EXText the best. In my opinion, it's very user friendly, easy to learn, and I really like ESP which is the built in abbreviation expander. Plus it is very easy to create your own normals which I love. My fingers literally never leave the keyboard because there are macro keys for everything. You can use your mouse if you prefer or learn the function macros. I love it. I think I'm more productive on EXText than with any other platform.
I LOVED IT. . . .
And had to forward it to all my "crabby" friends.
I loved my cat too and still do
I had to put my 18-plus year old cat to sleep 2 months ago. She was with me since she was born. She had end-stage renal failure and for a year I had to give her three times weekly infusions of Ringer's. She was actually really healthy right up until the end though and used to boss the other 2 youngsters around. I miss her every day. She went with me back and forth across the country. I know exactgly how you feel.
I did and loved it - sm
She came every other week and charged $15 and hour. She would spend 4 hours and she was a white tornado in those 4 hours let me tell you. I loved, loved, loved having her.
Unfortunately, i had to let her go when i moved into rehabbers paradise. No sense in paying someone to fight a losing battle until rehabbing is over say in about 10 years :(
We did that too, my 2 loved it too! - nm

My mom loved them and had many of them -nm
throughout the years, so I grew up with them. They are nice, though I put my hair in a pony tail so I can see. Started out with an old Plymouth in the 60s and ended with a 2003 BMW Z4 (very nice). They only time it was a drag was in an unexpected rain storm, though now you just push a button and the top goes back on....until her corvette (1 car before the BMW) we had to do it manually, so stop the car, pull up the top, lock, etc. Also in the summer, very hot seats...carry towels so you don't scald off the skin on the back of your thighs, butt and back, though cloth seats would help with that problem, and obviously don't leave anything in the car you wouldn't mind losing (i.e. stolen or blown away). They are fun though, I hope to get one myself one day but content myself with driving with all the windows down now. Have fun shopping.
TFS! Loved it
I need that laugh!!
Loved pet...
I had to put down my Andi (poodle mix dog) today. Last night I came home from church and found her on the door step apparently hurt. Brought her to the vet who kept her over night. I went in this morning but she had multiple fractures and had to be put to sleep. I don't think I will get another pet. It's too hard when you lose them.
yes, i saw and loved the
was wondering if the walking tour is only a group tour or is there a map and written directions so that one could walk the tour alone (or with a friend, etc.).
the MT info is good but i am much more interested in NY and seeing it from an *insider's* point of view. i know that is not the purpose of the blog but maybe you could do something on that line regarding NY??
I used to do these too! Loved them! sm
They were long and kind of boring in my opinion, but I made a LOT of $$ and had a GREAT dictator. he was so great, in fact, that he transitioned into doing his work by voice recognition without a hitch. I truly miss that account . . . :(
Loved this. (nm)

Yes, loved it.....sm
Yes, I used it for several years and loved it. It does not have its own expander, but I used InstantText with it quite successfully. I hardly ever hear of it any more. Do you mind sharing what company still uses it?
Loved it
Who still uses this program???? It was great. Does not have its own Expander but I used Instant Text and it worked great!!
Loved it.
Where did you find it? I am thinking to change mine.
LOVED the job!!!!
I worked for this company a while back & loved the job. I say to anyone out there reading the same rubbish I did, use your own judgement about a person/job and don't let bitter faceless people influence you otherwise - and THEY talked about being rude?!!! If I wasn't forced to give up the vet op work (family reasons), I would never have left! New clinics kept opening every year, and the owner always did her best to keep me informed and made my job as easy as possible! Some people prefer to work for large transcription companies, but I prefer to work for smaller companies, where you are recognized as being an indvidual that is an IMPORTANT member of the team. 
Loved it!
I enjoyed reading this post. I guess it was that punch line that really got to me LOL....
Your real-life doc kinda reminds me of Dr. House on TV, though Dr. House seems to have become more contrite during the last 10 minutes of the season finale.
I've always thought that there could not possibly be real life docs out there like House, at least not ones who would be allowed to see patients, but now I am not so sure.
Have you ever thought of a second career in which you take real-life experiences and fictionalize them, send the scripts to the people who make movies and TV shows? I think you would be very good at that.
LOL! Loved your response...
 the guy would probably burn the whole neighborhood down just to be sure he got the one who did it! I really wished there was something I could do, though. I loved your graphics.. That's exactly what I feel like doing!
I loved it. Very moving.

I had one when I was inhouse and loved it! sm
I just wish I could afford to get my own right now. It takes a little getting used to, but not too bad and it's soooooo comfortable.
