| I hope this won't be a perpetually fuzzy blanket, esp as we got two of them. They are nice and soft and new. ![]() Ugh, spent the whole morning re-doing all the reports I did all Friday afternoon, with her changes on them . What a pain. grumble.. mutter...Weather is still beautiful though - people are very happy because we had such a rotten rainy cold June. They are all sitting outdoors, basking in the sun like turtles. ![]() Wen Elmo likes people - unless they come into his 'territory', walk on his street, by his house, ring his doorbell etc - LOL! He loves to sit down and be sociable, while you have a chat with neighbors or relatives outside. I have to keep him on leash out there, though, because the cottages are quite close together and some of the other people have big dogs, who might not appreciate a 'visiting dog' plus sometimes he likes to bark at big dogs. Plus he might run off into the woods after some animal and we'd never see him again (which would make Mr ML just as glad). ![]() Oh we saw one of his top 'enemy' dogs this morning, and the woman had a plastic bag wrapped around the dog's stomach and was carrying his back end, because he must have gotten paralyzed or got a bad leg. That was pretty sad. I did notice he was getting up in years (I think my LAST dog hated him too - LOL!). mezz very tough with the sis bringing you down and the parents getting on both your nerves. Good for you for braving the tea, and being rewarded by running into somebody you know, who also likes to do beading! LOL that they think you are a kid on the phone. LOL, I remember one of my professors at college called someplace once and they said "Thank you, Ma'am" and after that, whenever he answered the phone, he'd try to put on a deep, manly voice. ![]() A multi-zone DVD player would be a good investment, especially with our 'international' interests. ![]() We liked the premiere of 'Warehouse 13' on SciFi and the return of 'Eureka' on Friday. Fun shows. Although it's been so long since we've had anything to watch on TV, we'll have to get back into the habit of remembering to watch. Plus so long since 'Eureka' was on last, it's hard to even remember where they left off. Mr ML can now watch movies on our new computer so - I'll probably never get online again! Bad enough he used to listen to music on there, while playing endless hands of computer solitaire. He is so sporty - he went out on a bike ride yesterday, and didn't tell us where he went, and he was gone so many hours, I was waiting for the police/hospital to call about finding him lying in the road. But then he came wheeling home eventually. Phew! Ugh.. is it Friday yet.. better get back to it...__________________ Jason B is #1 with me "I'm with the vampires" | |||

| MyrnaLynne, Sorry you had to redo all those reports that you did from Friday! I'd go CrAzY if I had to keep re-doing stuff over and over again! I give you a lot of credit for NOT strangling Mrs. Boss! LOL!Glad you finally have nice weather... in the 80's is nice! ![]() Our weather is back up into the 100's again and will be all week long! UGH! (MELT!) And Lainie's truck HATES the heat! We have to have it checked out because if it's driven to a few places, then it won't start ...say..on the 3rd trip. Then we have to sit there for like a half hour or more for it to cool down or something before it will start again! Very, Very frustrating! And when I mean it won't start, I mean it won't do ANYTHING! No click, no sound AT ALL! But all the lights come on, and so it's Not the battery, (which is brand new btw), so we don't know what's wrong with the stupid thing, but it Always happens on HOT days. Grrrr! ![]() Oh, sorry, I thought Elmo didn't like people, but that's understandable that he's very protective of his 'territory'. Teddi is like that too! Very protective of his territory too, but is very sweet once the person is inside the house and we tell him that it's OK. ![]() He also barks at other dogs, especially the neighbor's dogs at our fences... what a fuss he puts up at the fences! May those fences hold, because I'd hate to see them actually getting at one another! ![]() That's really sad about the woman holding up her dog's back legs. Doesn't make sense why she'd even take him out like that! They do have doggie wheel chairs that the dogs lay their back legs on the flat-like wheel chair and then they get strapped in and the dog can go as normal by using it's front legs to walk. It's such a great invention for crippled dogs! That woman needs to invest in one! And Mr. ML needs to borrow your Cell Phone when he goes out so you can call him, instead of scaring you have to death when he's gone for long periods like he's prone to be. ![]() Well, MOTHER and I had our Podiatry appts yesterday, and our Podiatrist is so nice and YOUNG! And he told us that his wife is expecting their 1st child as she's 5 weeks pregnant! He's so excited and was busting his buttons telling us! I'm so happy for him... he's really sweet and I think he'll make a Great Daddy. He's just so very kind and caring. He said when we see him again, (in 2 months), that he'll know the sex of the baby and will have U/S pictures to show us! LOL! He's really so nice! We just love him to pieces! Next, we both have Dr appts on Wed, and I'm dreading it because we have to use Lainie's truck. (sigh) Maybe I can talk No.2 son into letting me use the car and he can use the truck for the day? We'll see? I used the car yesterday because he didn't go to work because he called in sick... he had a terrible attack of insomnia and didn't get any sleep, or maybe just an hour or two... Poor kid takes after me in that dept. Is a terrible sleeper at night too. ![]() Oh, the phone... it's MOTHER. Got to go...

| The woman with the handicapped dog is kind of strange - I don't think it's her dog, I think the stupid guy who lives near her kept the poor dog in the yard all the time, and she probably offered to walk it. Something like that. That woman used to walk two enormous black and white dogs, called Thunder and Lightning or something like that She is also the woman who goes to the park and throws bread out for the birds every single day (which is why rats have move in and made nests over there, behind the theater/next to the park). And of course my dog wants to go there every morning and eat some bread! She's kind of an odd ball. But good to dogs (and birds!)My 2 houses over neighbors just adopted a new dog - but he's an old old dog, sort of a black lab, and he HATES all other dogs (and my dog hates him) and here they are, living near each other, so we have to coordinate our walks so they don't run into each other. At least her dog doesn't mind people, just hates other dogs. Those are the people whose last dog (they adopted the same time we got ours) died very suddenly - I think he ate something poison, or maybe it was that bad batch of dog food from China that did him in. Anyway, now they have this old limpy dog. They took pity on him, because they knew nobody was going to adopt him, so they did. Nice of them, but a pain to have a new 'enemy dog' living on the same street! Must be hard for them too, because there are sooo many people with dogs all around, to avoid running into them, if he doesn't get along with dogs. I did Mrs Dr's stuff this morning until I thought my head would fall off - finally delivered it - and yep, there was another tape of dictation. Not doing any more of that today! I have a ton of journal stuff to do too. With these new regulations, they have to dictate all sorts of extra stuff now and it's a pain/more work for everybody. Stupid government stuff. ![]() I wonder if the problem with the truck is the thermostat. I had a car that kept overheating and I think they'd put the thermostat in the wrong way, something like that (it was years ago). Don't know much about car fixing! I hope your weather improves. My friend in New Mexico says it's gotten very hot there also. That's too bad, Wen that your son has the family insomnia too. It must be terrible not to sleep (although Edward and Bella don't seem to mind it. ) Just getting to that part in 'Breaking Dawn' - where she realizes they never get tired, never need to stop.. ahem.__________________ Jason B is #1 with me "I'm with the vampires" | |||

| LOL, and I walked the dog, cooked dinner (don't usually do that anymore), ran to the drugstore, and did a big load of laundry last night too! For me, that was a lot for one evening. ![]() I kept having to get up during 'Warehouse 13,' every commercial break, to hang up the clothes to dry. Verdict still not in on that show, whether it's good or not/if we're going to like it/stick with it. It has the benefit of being the only interesting show on TV right now, but it was kind of slow and not very exciting last night, and they are bending over backwards to give the two characters lots of interesting 'backstory', awkwardly cramming stuff about them into the script ("oh, I didn't know you played the piano"). I think they have the problem that 'Numbers' has - 'math crimes' are probably just as hard to think up as 'supernatural object-related' crimes every week. ![]() I guess the new 'Harry Potter' movie is coming out soon; papers are full of articles about it/reviews of it (said it was good). It looked very good from the trailer I've seen (a skazillion times) in the theater (they played it with the 'Twilight' movie ). We'll probably go see it.Not that he ever needs to work again, he's so rich, but Daniel Radcliffe has a point, when he said something about Rob Pattinson being tall, which bodes well for his future as a movie star. (Radcliffe is short and Elijah-Wood-like, I think.) Well, we've made it to Wednesday! Halfway there! __________________ Jason B is #1 with me "I'm with the vampires" Last edited by MyrnaLynne : 07-15-2009 at 06:15 AM. | |||

| GAH! It's going to go to 104* today! And we, ( MOTHER & I), have Dr's appts during the peak of the day! I just pray we don't melt, (Lainie's truck doesn't have A/C), and that the dang truck doesn't give me trouble and starts after the Dr's appt! ![]() Gosh MyrnaLynne, you WERE busy last night!... What do they say?... "A Woman's Work is Never Done!" In your case yesterday, it was TRUE! ![]() And Way to Go Mezzi! LOL! Cleaning the kitchen and taking a Walk while you're on Holiday is quite an accomplishment! LOL! How's the weather? Has it still been rainy? Our weather will be in triple digits all week long! But they're expecting it to break by the weekend, (Sunday), to go down to 99*. A Big Freakin' Whoop-T-Doo! Same Dif if you ask me. ![]() ******************************************************* I tried to post last night, but FF was down for a while. I notice that FF goes down a lot at night for some reason, and it's not for maintainance either... altho' sometimes it is for maintainance, but most of the time, it not for that reason. Very frustrating. HMPH! ![]() I don't know what's going on with my Teddi-Behr, but he's been awfully clingy lately... really more than usual! To the point where it becoming annoying... He wants my attention 24/7! I hope it's not a sign that we're going to have an Earthquake! ![]() He sometimes does this when we're about to have one... I'm not talking about big huge ones, but he does this with even the little ones that hit the Bay Area and surroundings. The little ones usually don't cause any damage... just gives a rumble every now and then. I don't even feel them, but apparently Teddi does!...Or he can sense them coming! Strange how the animals can do that?!

| Maybe he sensed the earthquake down in New Zealand. Apparently there was one and all the south-east of Australia was on Tsunami alert. Haven't heard anything more this morning so maybe it didn't eventuate into anything. Lord Howe Island was told to move to the highest ground possible and we were all told to stay out of the water and move away from the coast if possible. An English backpacker was found alive and well in the Blue Mountains after being lost for 12 days. It's the middle of winter. He must've been well up on survival techniques. It gets jolly cold at night there. He's still in hospital recovering but still. I can't seem to get moving. I sleep late and don't feel like doing anything when I get up. So much to do. I did find a fanfic I've been searching for for a week so that's one thing accomplished. I really need to go to the shops coz I've hardly any food. I always find it difficult to tell whether the idea of curling up is because I'm worn out or just depressed. So difficult to tell at times. Oh well. Onward and upward as they say. __________________ | |||

| Poor Wen - 104 I bet you can fry eggs on the sidewalk out there, it's so hot. And what a pain not to have A/C in the truck.I hope Teddi was wrong about an earthquake coming. You never know what's up with them. Elmo has been a bit clingier too - he's started coming upstairs with me when I go to bed, and sleeping on the floor, which he never did before. Mr ML came up and closed the door on him, so he was stuck there all night. I thought that was kind of mean - what if he wanted to go downstairs to his own bed (he sleeps on a big comfy chair by the window - he's ruined the chair too worn it out). And poor mezz hard to tell sometimes if one is depressed or just exhausted. You've been through a lot, with having to uproot yourself and move. I'm sure moving is right up there on the top 10 traumatic life changes. ![]() Wow about that guy surviving lost for 12 days on top of a mountain in the winter! He had to have good skills to survive - but must not have had such good skills, or he wouldn't have gotten himself lost in the first place. And a tsunami! I hope that doesn't happen! That last one in Indonesia area was bad enough - don't need any more of those happening for awhile. They say the animals knew that was coming too, the elephants etc went to higher ground. Animals are way smarter than people in some areas!Ugh, got the newsletter from the shelter Elmo came from - their big mission is to stop puppy mills and they rescue a lot of those poor creatures that have been mistreated, lived in cages, filthy, no medical care, etc. Well, the bad economy is having one upside - a lot of the puppy mill guys are closing up because people aren't buying overpriced (sickly) pets from pet shops right now. Plus they are trying to legislate against them and regulate them, but in the midwest, the agricultural interests keep defeating it. I was surprised in Pennsylvania there are Amish puppy millers who are very evil. You would think if they hold G-d in such high regard with their religion, they would be kinder of His creatures,but.. nope! One guy was supplying organic milk to Whole Foods, while running a really notorious puppy mill on the side. They got word to Whole Foods about it and they told him they would stop buying his milk unless he stopped being cruel to animals and cleaned up his act. Nothing like a little pressure in the pocketbook to make people listen. And speaking of dog abusers, I see Michael Vick, the football guy, is getting out of prison. (I hope a dog bites him.) And Bernie Madoff is off to RIP - rot in prison - as well. His scheme ruined so many people and hurt the funding for charities that invested with him too. ![]() Also got the newsletter from Heifer Project - for all the evil in the world, thank goodness there is some good to counterbalance it. Heifer Project is a wonderful charity. I like that they give people a cow or a goat and then the whole village prospers. Habitat for Humanity is good, too, although I find their fundraising a little pushy. ![]() __________________ Jason B is #1 with me "I'm with the vampires" | |||

| I watched a fascinating documentary on a couple of the Amish families who have been excommunicated, They were saying that the bibles are in ancient German and no-one really understands them. A few of the Amish are now beginning to read the bible in English and are getting a whole new alive faith but being excommunicated for it. Apparently the culture is like the old Catholic culture when the bibles were in Latin and only the priests could read them. The people only knew what the priests told them and then once the bible were printed in English and people learned to read they realised they had been taught incorrectly. Apparently the Amish leaders are more concerned with the Amish rules than what the bibles say. Once the people begin to read the bible they realise that the Amish rules aren't actually in the bible and they start singing songs in English and meeting together for bible study and then the leaders throw them out of the community. So the Amish community is Amish not Christian, apparently. The Tsunami didn't eventuate to anything which is good. Better to be warned and it not happen then to not be warned and washed away. Can't remember if I updated you on The Step situ. She's good. Back to driving. Not lifting anything which is funny coz now dad has to do it all. He's had 15 years of her saying, 'I can do it' and now he's out of the habit she's frustrated that he doesn't remember to do all the work She'll be having 2 weeks of radiotherapy and then they go on a holiday tour to central Australia. If you do pray then I'd love you to pray for a friend of mine. I'll call her Nifty. She's survived cancer twice and then had an horrific car accident. Broke almost everything in her body and recovered from it. A year ago the doctors discovered that as a result of her injuries she has spurs growing on her spine. These are growing on the inside of her vertebrae and rubbing on her spinal cord nerves. The only solution is to operate and scrape the spurs off. The op is so risky though that she will either get better or be paralyzed completely. They are only doing the op because the pain is so bad and they need to do something before the spinal cord is damaged. She told me yesterday that the op is next month then 4-6 months of therapy before she knows the results. So scary and she is such a beautiful soul and so creative and positive. If you feel like it I'd love you to pray for her success. I'll give you more details as they come if you're interested. I'm actually going out of the house today so I'd better get some food into me and some clothes on ![]() __________________ | |||

| Oh dear, back surgery is such a tricky business and your friend has already gone through so much, mezzy - Prayers will be sent along! It's amazing how many things can befall some people. Interesting about the Amish! I think it's like any organization that gets more caught up in their rules and regulations. Why do Hasidic Jews wear clothing from the 1800s? There's no rule about them doing that (only a rule not to wear clothes of mixed fibers - no cotton/polyester blends for them! LOL!) And don't the Amish not wear buttons on their clothes, because there were buttons on military uniforms - something strange like that? But I also think I read that the Amish teens are given a year to go out and be wild and see if they really do want to commit to the Amish lifestyle - guess they get confirmed into it or whatever at adulthood. Just read about a group called The Twelve Tribes - they are sort of a religious commune and somewhat old timey and they own this fabulous sailing ship (among their various ventures) and they sail around so people can get to know their ideas. I can see the appeal of these groups because living in the modern world is difficult . Glad the Step is on the mend! Funny, my freshman roommate in college had a Step, and I visited them, and she made the dad do every little thing for her - "I want to sit outside, will you carry out the lawn chair for me, dear?" And he loved it - he loved waiting on her hand and foot. So - worked for them! My friend and I rolled our eyes at her coquettish helplessness - I mean, it was a folding lawnchair, probably weighed less than 1 lb! But he probably liked 'being needed' and having somebody to do for again, after losing his wife. ![]() Lazy day - spent most of the evening dozing in front of House & Garden TV, then got up for a bit and watched CSI with MLette (with my hand over my eyes now and then - we've given that one up as too icky) and then back to bed, even though I'd spent most of the evening asleep! Weather is warming up and getting a little stickier and I guess it makes me sleepy. ![]() Saw a commercial for 'Three Rivers', Alex O'Loughlin's new series coming on CBS in the fall. It probably won't last long - about transplant surgery in Pittsburgh. Not everyone's cup of tea. But maybe it will cause people do donate their organs more, that would be good (speaking as somebody who works with transplant stuff). Just hit the part in 'Breaking Dawn' where things go bad and they realize the Volturi are coming... I sort of wanted to stop reading where she was just sooo happy! It would be so cool to be one of the Cullens - except for the whole overwhelming thirst for blood (ew).![]() __________________ Jason B is #1 with me "I'm with the vampires" | |||

| Hello gals! ![]() Sorry i haven't been around this week...it's been 10 years since my mom passed away and i've been a bit down...working a lot, going to the gym & i didn't want to think too much...when i do think too much about stuff i drive myself mad and i got depressed really easily. I really wanted to post something today and come back to normal. I've really missed you all!![]() ![]() Wen Sorry to sound so ignorant but what is your Teddi-Behr? ![]() I really hope you didn't have an Earthquake..omg, i hope you're fine. Wow 104*!!!Here in London for the last week it's been raining and it's a little chilli during the day, even i sleep with my window open. Mezz I hope you're getting better...i mean, sometimes we are depressed and we don't even know...it can be just your body which is asking to be lazy for some days. I normally feel like that in winter; but i take some vitamins or i go to the herbal shop and i get some omega 3...maybe it's the way we eat that makes us feel like we're tired or lazy. I know all that cos when i was a bodybuilder i used to have tons of fish and proteins like tuna and milkshakes(it helped me a lot)...maybe it can be if you drink caffeine. I don't know if i'm helping you out... ![]() ![]() ..i hope you can sort it out hun.About the 19 years old backpacker; he was very lucky to have been found in winter there...i suppose Australians in general are very good trained for these kind of things and thank God he was found. About your friend Nifty...it's done...lately i haven't been praying much but i will pray for her!!! ML I've read what you said about charities...are you part of any of them?...my mom paid for three years for a little girl who lived in Peru. She used to send the money to a charity in SouthAmerica and she used to get some letters and drawings from the little girl....once she passed away i had to cancel that...it was a real shame for me to have to deal with it...I felt crap for doing it. I wish i could do something like that for myself now but sometimes i really do think if those poor people really get the money. Well amazing news....the Emmy's nominations were announced yesterday and Mr Simon Baker is nominated for the best drama actor category...i'm so very proud and i hope he wins....he deserves it after he was nominated for "The Guardian" in 2004 and he lost. 'Mad Men,' '30 Rock' lead Emmy nominees - CNN.com It's funny how in this article he says his kids think he's old... ![]() . I would tell them that their daddy is pretty hot actually & not old at all...lolSimon Baker gets early birthday present - Lifeline Live - USATODAY.com I'm off on Sunday so i may go to the movies to see "Bruno"...it's #1 on the box office here in The UK....i think the character is pretty hilarious ![]() ![]() Hope you all have a nice weekend!!!!

| Hi gabi sorry you've been down about the anniversary of your Mum's passing. ![]() Teddi-Behr is Wen's big Rottweiler dog. Which reminds me, I saw a man walking 2 young Rottweilers this morning - the man sort of had a Rottweiler look about him too, blond and stocky and sort of Germanic looking. giggle.MLette told me last night that Simon Baker was nominated for 'The Mentalist' - very good birthday present indeed, to get an Emmy. I hope he wins one. It's the top show, so I'd be surprised if he lost, but you never know. Neil Patrick Harris is going to be the host. He just hosted the Tony Awards and did a very good job of it. Very cool thing, all these people were gathered in front of a window in the corridor of the hospital, so I stopped to see what they were all looking at... it was a hawk! Great big hawk, perched on a railing just outside the window. Everybody was enjoying looking at such a big bird of prey up close. Beautiful creatures. ![]() It sounds like London is getting our old weather - we were having the rain and chilly for the whole of last month. Now it's warming up and becoming summer (I could live without it ever getting hot, but my daughter and husband like the heat). LOL, I had tuna today for lunch and a milkshake for lunch yesterday - I suppose I ought to lift some weights or it will just all turn to fat. That is hard to have to stop sponsoring a charity girl. I think most of those charities are for real, with the poor foreign children. It's good to give a little bit if you can spare it (but not like my friend, who gives whether she can spare it or not!). But there are so many charities and if you give to one, they pass your name around. My poor daughter is charitable and gets all sorts of letters and gifts, so she'll send them money back. I think you have to just pick a few causes you support. I like to do some animals, some poor people, some veterans, some local, some for the world. Makes you feel good!![]() Hope everyone has a nice weekend (I can't wait for that weekend to start - less than 1/2 hr to go and then WEEKEND!) ![]() __________________ Jason B is #1 with me "I'm with the vampires" | |||

| ML the Amish guy was saying how some communities split because they couldn't decide which style of braces should be worn. Reminds me of the church I grew up in that spent so much time arguing over whether hats needed to be worn. We waste our time and energy on such meaningless things. Gabi coz it's your sad anniversary time. My mum's been gone now 19 years this August and I still go to counselling coz I haven't grieved yet. It's a hard road. ![]() I'm going to see Nifty today to learn about her op most likely we'll have some good laughs too. Yes some people seem to get everything don't they. There is this man in the church. His daughter died of cancer when she was 17. Then he fell onto a fence stake (as in fell. It went in the front and out the back) and survived. Amazingly it missed all vital organs. Then, he got cancer in his arm and they had to amputate. He's still going. Is up beat even though his wife is angry and bitter over it all. Some people are amazing. If you're worried about whether the money gets to the people or not you just have to do your research. It also sometimes depends on the country. I know my parents give to an orphange in Bangladesh because they know for certain how the money is spent. Also charities that don't give money but pass on goods like Crossroads. I watched Oprah yesterday and Glenn Close was on talking about 'puppies behind bars' Have you heard of it? AMAZING charity. The inmates raise the labs from 8 weeks old and train them to be army dogs. Then when ready the dogs are given to ex soldiers who have been wounded or suffering PTS from Iraq etc. The process gives humanity to the inmates, gives them unconditional love from the dogs that often they've never had before, teaches them to care and look after something important and then brings hope back to the very damaged. The dogs give grounding during flash backs etc. __________________ | |||

| Hi Everyone! ![]() Sorry to be MIA, but R/L getting in the way of fun time here at LA LA Land again. ![]() Been with MOTHER as her knee is Really bothering her, so I've been over at her place helping her out as it's hard for her to get around. But she's soooo stubborn that she doesn't want to walk on it except for going to the potty and that's just about it! Grrrrr!!! I keep telling her that she HAS to move or she won't be able to at all! But she's like a stubborn child and refuses to. Very Frustrating! Well, I'm happy to say that Lainie's Truck started after all, after we were finished with our Dr's appts on Wed, Thank G-D!!! I was REALLY worried that it wouldn't, but with LOTS of Prayers, it started just fine, and we went Straight to my place, with No Stops in between! I was NOT about to risk it, even tho' we had some New Rx's to get, but I figured we could always get them after No.2 son came home with the car, and use the car to go get them.Gabi, I'm so sorry about you feeling down. I know it's sooo hard to loose a parent. My Dad's passing anniversary was July 9th. ![]() Please know that We All are sending youBiggest HUGS and I hope that gives you some comfort knowing that we All Care about You! ![]() And yes, as MyrnaLynne said, my Teddi-Behr is my sweet, & lovable, Giant, 150 lb. Rott. My BIG baby boy! LOL! I just love him to pieces! Oh, and as far as I know, (but I haven't watched the News either), we didn't have any little tremors, or big ones for that matter... so I'm safe, don't worry. ![]() And Mezzi, Sending you Biggest HUGS too as your Mum's passing anniversary is coming up too. I hope you know that We All Care Very Much about You Too! ![]() And of course 'Nifty' will be in my Prayers. ![]() And that's very interesting about the Amish. I never knew that about them... actually, I know very little about them, so that was very informative. I wished I'd seen that Documentary... I think I would have really enjoyed it! And that man at your Church... Wow!... all that happened to him, and he's still an up-beat person?! Now that's really something! ![]() MyrnaLynne, We are completely melting out here! It went to 107* today! And yesterday, and tomorrow was, and will be about the same! ![]() As a matter of fact, at 6:30am this morn, it was already 70* out, and when I saw that, I knew we were in for a Really Hot Day! ![]() Are you going to go see Harry Potter this Weekend? I thought you had mentioned that you might. My No.1 son went to see it with his wife, (she's a Big Fan of the movies), and she loved it as she said it was much funnier than the others, but my son didn't like it as much as the others. So there you go! LOL! My internet was out all night the other night, and I was going completely stir crazy without it! Seems that my Cable, (I have the Triple Play Pkg with my Cable Co, which means that I pay one bill for my internet, phone bill, and cable TV,) and everything went out except my Cable TV from 2am till 6am, and I was NOT a happy camper! Grrrrr!!! ![]() So, I watched the Twilight Commentary with Rob, Kristen, and Katherine H. again. Gosh, Rob is so funny! He just keeps harping on how they plucked his eyebrows, and you can tell how much it bothered him, LOL! And it just cracked me up that during the Famous Kissing Scene, he didn't even notice that Kristen was just wearing little panties, UNTIL he saw it with them during the Commentary! He was sooo surprised! ![]() I just love his voice and his laugh. And he certainly does a Great American accent too! Hope Everyone has a Great Weekend! ![]() Biggest Hugs to All, ![]() Wen __________________ JB's Obsessed Fan#64 ( I LOVE JASON BEHR!!!) ![]() "God never gives you more than you can handle.
