I think the first time I noticed was Aladin where the Genie, played by Robin Williams, had jokes/lines that kids would have never understood but were hilarious to the adults.
There’s a new movie out, The Help, that should be very good. Our book club read the book and we all raved about it. We are going to see it as a group; we do this occasionally when a movie comes out and we’ve read the book. The last one was Water for Elephants. The book so very, very good but the movie, not so much. Others we saw were The Secret Life of Bees, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter and The Road.
when she said the room looked more like a middle-age situation and he said, "We can always go and make out in the car." How many of us can certainly relate to that?
Rachael and Ty were Oprah’s discoveries. Interesting. I don’t watch her show so that’s probably why I didn’t know about Nate.
Or why not base their pension on years of public service. Our SS is based on how many years we’ver worked (up to 20) and how much we made. Why not do their’s the same way? If they serve for a total of 20 years, they get full pension based on their combined salary for those years. If they only serve two, they only get 1/10th of it.
There could be added bonuses for serving a higher position, like president or senator. God knows, no matter what kind of job he does, being president is a 24/7 job and has to be the most stressful job in the WORLD! That’s gotta be worth something.
because I immediately thought, oh-oh, it hit her heart (for dramatic purposes).
I agree about staff. At first I wondered about the anethesiologist but then realized there was one there, sitting by her head. She was the one reporting on the BP But, no scrub nurse, no roaming nurse (to get the blood, not Mel), and any number of technical assistants. At least they threw a bunch of meat in there. Also, nobody was using the suction to get the blood out of the way. If there was uncontrolled bleeding, that is imperative.
Oh, well, as Pammy said, this is Salem…what do we expect?
I had never even heard of him and then all of a sudden he has his own talk show. What is his claim to fame or where did he come from? Is he an actor or what?
how much older she is than Will. I didn’t think about it before but now I do. Oh, well, that’s not so bad. I really like Gabby, I think she plays her part well and she’s certainly a beautiful young woman.
people will start spending more time at the Horton Town Center and less in the bars now. I can’t believe how often they put a single women in a bar, drinking all by herself. Let’s see there’s been Nicole (no surprise there), Chloe, Taylor, Melanie, Kate, and doubtlessly some others.
I think I can probably count on one finger how many times I’ve been alone in a bar drinking and that time only because I was waiting for someone who was late.
They really need to cut down on ALL the drinking on that show…it has definitely gotten out of hand.
I can’t understand why the problem is so apparent yet nothing is done about it. My handiman has an uncle who has been here illegally from Columbia for 30 years and…get this…has not worked a day he has been here.
don’t you have to take the good with the bad on a soap? You may feel that homosexuality is wrong and bad but there are lots of things they show that are also…like MURDER? Lying, cheating, stealing, prostitution, drug addiction? But it’s all part of real life and it is, after all, only fiction.
I think by boycotting, you would deprive yourself of the enjoyment of the rest of the show just because a small part will portray something you don’t approve of. Not trying to change your mind, just pointing out some facts.
the other day with someone who is "in the business." He said that, yes, it is the network that allows the interruption…BUT…it is the president (and his staff, obviously) who decide that a press conference is necessary. IMO, neither of the last two announcements were so necessary that they needed to interrupt a program; any program, not just ours.
I think TPTB have come to think that any topic someone might be interested in hearing is justification for a "special announcement." I can’t tell you how many times we get them here in FL for nothing more than a thunder storm on its way. Like we can do anything about it!
if the nixed that storyline. It just didn’t make any sense to me that all of a sudden Will would realize he was gay. I’d much rather they bring in someone new for Sonny. Or, does he really even need a "lover"?
the last 10 minutes on SoapNet and we only actually missed about 5 min. and nothing important at all.
But, again, I really saw no need for the interruption. It was certainly nothing that important we needed to know right now.
to the best of my recollection, these "news breaks" never seem to occur during the 12:00 or 2:00 or 3:00 programs, they always happen between 1:00 and 2:00, during Days. If they absolutely have to do so, how about varying it during the day. Or maybe they think it’s better to make only one group of people angry instead of all the soap watchers.
BTW, using the word whining…from what has been going on lately, I consider it an appropriate word for everybody who comments on this debt ceiling. Instead of everybody crying (and whining) about it, why don’t they just shut the **** up and DO something to solve the problem.
