Hey, sounds like a fun idea. When is it playing? Monday, USA at what time..?




Our older doxie once ate a half a batch of dark chocolate brownines! I thought she was a goner...she shook, panted, shook some more, drank bowl after bowl of water and had the poops for 2 days!
Thank good ness it worked its way through her system.




It sounds like you need to invest in some noise reduction headphones or ear-plugs.

That sounds like a great idea - maybe get some renewed interest going and get some of our MIA folks back.

I told my coworkers this morning that I was ready to come back to work--if only to escape the screaming kid next door after listening to him all last week. I was typing up an assessment earlier and one of my coworkers said, "Even your typing sounds happy to be back!" Happy typing--that's me!

I already started a thread, But not forgotten comes on Monday 6 central, 7 Eastern. So look for the thread, I will bump it up so it doesnt get lost.

Thanks! So what kind of discussion is it? I mean what kinds of things normally get posted in a thread like this...so I can be prepared.

heyy what happen to ur sig. pics?

mine?? no clue, they look there on my end...hmm, maybe better do them over

That's weird. They were missing and now they are back. Maybe gremlins in the forum?

well, I changed them now...wasn't sure they were coming up before since some of my pics have gone a.w.o.l.

I've noticed a lot of pictures going AWOL the last few days. Definately gremlins. OK, who got them wet?

HBO had a free preview weekend and I got to record several movies. I haven't had time to watch all of them yet. But I did get to see Music and Lyrics. I loved it! Drew Barrymore is so great at romantic comedy. And I even loved Hugh Grant's singing. I thought it was a very sweet movie. I recorded Lady in the Water for my daughter and just happened to get home as it was starting. I hadn't wanted to see it because I thought it was a horror movie (and unless VDO is in it, I don't do horror!). But it was more of a fairy tale than a horror flick. I REALLY liked it a lot. And Paul Giamatti usually plays a dweeb (Big Fat Liar ), but he got to be the reluctant hero for a change. I don't think either one got great reviews, but I give two thumbs up for both movies!

hi mom! feeling better already?

I thought you might actually be one of my kids, joining just to poke fun at me here on the board. But then I read your posts on the SVU board and you knew the name of an episode. NO WAY could you be one of my kids! But yes, I am feeling better, thanks! Oh, and welcome to the board!

Its my fault ciaddict...I fed them after midnight...

I like Lady In The Water a lot...but I liked Signs too...M. Night Shamalan has some imagination and his movies are pretty cool!

Share your opinion with me. What do you think of this Lady in the Water? I haven't seen it yet. According to the critics, the plot was corny

If you go back a few posts, you will see my "review". I liked it a lot. But then my kids would say that I am corny! However, my 15 y/o daughter liked it too, so I guess that gives me some credibility.

I liked it a lot too. Maybe I am corny as well! It was a bit like a fairy tale only a tad darker...it kept me watching, which I always take as a good sign!

good to hear that your daughther is doing better!!!!
And never mind about work throwing a hissy fit over you not being there... family is a lot more precious and important!!

Yesterday my husband was an extra on a movie they are filming in the Boston area. The working title is "Mall Cop" and Kevin James (King of Queens) is the star. My husband was exhausted when he got home last night from standing around for 13 hours. But he loves all that stuff-seeing how things are done. He's done it before though. He did it for "Fever Pitch". He ended up on the cutting room floor as they say but he got to meet Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore so that helped ease his pain. The state of Massachusetts has been working hard to lure the film industry here with tax incentives etc. It must be working because the Kevin James movie is set in New Jersey and they are filming it in MA which seems crazy because lots of movies set in Boston/NE are filmed in Canada or somewhere. Right now there are 3 or 4 movies filming in the area as well as some pretty bigs in the past few years. Ethan Hawke is in one of them. Wish he brought his buddy VDO with him.


Back in 1982 my husband was an extra in the movie "Hanky Panky" with Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner. You can only see him from the back but his backside looked good then and it still looks good now.

anyone saw that NBC will be running MONK and Psych, guess they don't have any great new shows to fill spots with.

great maybe one day he will be famous and you can watch us all drool over him, lol. Boy look at those clothes, and cars, Gene Wilder was on the View today, boy did he look old. He has written a book about a man falling in love with a woman with Cancer, but he said it wasn't about Gilda, since his book has a happy ending, Gilda was such a talented woman. He said he hates movies today since they have so much cursing in it today.

Hey Cappy, will they be airing first runs or the new eps AFTER USA airs them?

They didn't say but I am sure it will be just like CI, USA isn't going to give up their hits.

Cool, thanks for the info!

I heard on the new that there are quite a few movie makers looking at Michigan for sites for filming. They say our Great Lakes are great for doing ocean scenes, with less crowds.

Thats pretty cool, maybe LOCI can come here and film something, not ocean related, but something, anything...would be too cool!

I've reviewed all the past arguments i got into on this thread---and i feel like i sound like a jerk when i am speaking.

I haven't read all your previous posts BUT we are all entitled to our opinions, you have NEVER, EVER been a jerk to me when we 'argue' and don't forget above all YOU ARE AWESOME!

haha, good mornin' judy!

I have boycotted sleep today. So we are on at the same time this morning!

Valley GOOOOOOOOD MORNING - how are you? I had caffeine this morning, can you tell?

It's 7:30 where I am, though and only what 4:30 where you are? That's way too early for me.

BTW - I honestly do think you are AWESOME and I'm glad that you're my friend and adopted daughter (even if you are a shipper!)

I need to get to work so I'll catch up with you later, I hope.

Haha, yeah it is too early, but since i never went to bed, i guess it would be a little late.

I'm just rebeling against my mom and being a shipper. I guess i'm just at that stage in my shipper life.

Have fun at work. I think i'mma try sleeping!! <33

::spook arrives way too late, but tucks our little Valley in::

Ahh, thanks Aunt spook - tucking Valley in.

bumping to get rid of spam

Yeah, we did it!
::shakes Chimera's hand...er, paw::

Oh brother! Where's a cop when ya need one? I give up. I'll just ignore the troll and she will eventually go away and die a natural death. Bye spammer!

I have such a hard time getting people off the phone when they just want to talk and talk and tell me their whole life story. My cubicle is just behind reception. So if I can't get someone off the phone, I write "HELP" on a piece of paper, crumple it, and throw it over the "wall" at the receptionist. Then she calls my extension so I can say, "Oh, I have another call. I have to go!" Sometimes even that doesn't work!

How about this one? I work with a sweet, very ditzy girl. Yesterday I hear her on the phone say "Oh, you want to talk to Judy?" and the next thing I know she transfers a call into me. A man wants to talk about his account. I think "I'm not in the accounts receivable department but if he asked for me by name, I'll talk to him." I answer the phone and the conversation goes like this:

Man: Is this Pam?
Me: No, this is Judy.
Man: Well, I need to discuss the account I opened yesterday.
Me (confused): What sort of account did you open?
Man: A checking account.
Me: Where are you trying to call?
Man: Penn Security Bank.
Me: Hang on, let me get you the number, you called (name of my employment).
Man: Why did the girl who answered tell me I needed to speak with you - I told her I needed Pam?

NOW - does Judy sound like Pam? I didn't think it did - so why did 'ditzy girl' transfer the call to me? This happens all the time - if she gets a call that she simply doesn't want to even try to help, she sends it my way.

When I asked her why she didn't try to help him, she said - He asked for Pam and when I told him there was no Pam here he asked for the girl in the office to the left as you enter the lobby. (There is no office to the left as you enter our lobby - it's a wall with a vending machine.)

aha, I can see you are having one of the world famous "today everyone except me seems to be on a different planet" days.. not to worry... persevere with the day... and on the way home buy yourself something nice at the store. Alternatively tell the other person to go stand in front of a coke machine, grab the sides with both hads and pull violently forward.

Good luck.. and remember, it's the other people that are in the wrong not you!!!

Cloggs

hahaha, wow thats hilarious.

Judyg...I believe that is called "passing the buck", we get that all the time at work. Don't wanna deal with someone, "here talk to this lady...". Drives me bonkers!

- I've been having a crazy week in rl and to try to explain it would have people looking at me like I really am from another planet (and I'm in the witness protection program so I can't tell you which one ) so that phone call yesterday just made me scratch my head and wonder. But I did buy myself a bag of malted milk balls on the way home and a Dr. Pepper so the world is at peace and all's well.

This girl is famous for it - and she really does have a heart of gold - but will not ask any questions to clarify why a person is calling or who they really need to speak with. When she tells me I have a call, I'm usually 75% certain it's really not for me and I just need to direct them to the proper person. Yesterday I was even directory assistance and got the man the right phone number.

Ya'll did a really good job of bumping all those threads down. Very quickly too.

At first i saw a bunch of posts from ciaddict all the way down the forum, and i was thinking, 'wow, she had a breath of wind in her today'. Most of it was bumping though.

Way back when I was a young'un your age, there was a dance called the "Bump" and whenever I see folks 'bumping' threads I have to smile.

I think everyone was doing a great job of bumping threads which proves it doesn't matter what 'ship' you're on - we're all one family and stand by each other when something is nonsensical and needs to be 'bumped'.

ha, amen!!

We are all quite the team.

Oh my God, I just copied this from another site. NBC can't find CI a permanent home, but they can have this...

"NBC and the producers of American Idol are working together on a celebrity edition of the game show classic Family Feud.

What's interesting is that they'll run the celeb Feud in primetime…something that hasn't been done before.

We're guessing that NBC will give the celeb edition good placement on its sched ’cause they're assuming lots of you will tune in.

You know you wanna see the Duffs vs. the Lohans!

Details are being kept under tight wraps. Sources report that you'll probably see 'traditional' families pitted against one another (i.e. the Hiltons vs. the Kardashians) and groups like TV show 'families' competing (i.e. Lost cast vs. Heroes cast)."

You Go Girl!!!!

Hey, I think she works in my office, too!



Yep, that bump and grind that Dr. Goren taught me really came in handy today! Oops, I wasn't supposed to tell anyone that!

Must be where she was today!

OK. but let me ask you this: Do you LOOK like a vending machine?

Okay, got this email, had to share...good for a laugh, but please don't think I would seriously do this!



Easy Toilet Cleaning Instructions:



1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.









2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.









3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.









4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.









5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a 'power-wash' and rinse'.









6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.









7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.









8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom,and run outside where he will dry himself off.









9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.









Sincerely,

The Dog
