| My brother and his last wife had a pair of poodles, Bonnie and Clyde, and they had all these squeeky toys and those dogs were so smart, you could say "go get the elephant" or "go get the bunny" or whatever, and they knew all of the little rubber toys by name/what they were and would run and fetch them. Poodles are very smart (although of course now and then you run into a dumb/neurotic one from a bad breeder). LOL!
That's so good VB that you are sticking to the gym! And so bad I won't even join one, or even get back to exercising at home. I used to have a whole exercise routine I used to do before going to bed and now - I just go to bed! 
It must be very hard, not being able to communicate with Grandma, because of her being deaf and not speaking Hebrew and you not knowing Yiddish. That would be kind of odd. But I guess a lot of families are like that. My dad's neighbor (and one of his best friends down there at the condo) was married to a Lebanese man, and her in-laws would call up and talk to her in Arabic or whatever and she didn't understand a word of it, but they'd just chat away on the phone to her in their own language! 
Yes, Daniel Day-Lewis won (again) for 'There Will be Blood' (something about an oil man, which I heard doesn't actually have that much blood). 'No Country for Old Men' by the Coen brothers won a lot of awards too (which I guess doesn't have a lot of old men, but a lot of blood! LOL!) 
The awards shows are all very glamorous with the gowns and the jewelry. I read a funny thing, that Diablo Cody, woman who wrote Juno (and won an Oscar for that) was supposed to wear some fabu shoes by some designer guy. He put out some advertising with her name on it, before she wore them and without her permission or whatever, and she was so mad, she didn't wear his silly shoes, she wore these sensible flats instead! She was probably the only woman at the Oscars wearing sensible comfortable shoes. I don't know how those actresses (or ballroom dancers) wear those high high spiky heels. I just can't do it. If I wore heels, my legs would fall right off! __________________ Jason B is #1 with me "I'm with the vampires" |
