Wish I could do that! It’s been so long since I “slept in” I think I would feel guilty!

I’ll let you know if I get to see Megamind.

I’d like to watch football, but it’s very seldom that I really WATCH it. Mostly, I listen while I’m doing something else.

About the only games I really like are the MNF and I can’t get that on my TV. So I just go to ESPN.com and get the scores of all the sports I like.

I like to have it on in the background also for most games myself.

I mostly have the TV on for background, anyway, especially since I had to give up all the good stations last year.

It’s just a ruse so I don’t notice I’m alone all the time, even though I know I am!

I like documentaries, history, “true crime” and biographies, classic mysteries, B&W movies, etc. To me, there is really nothing else on, until one of my favorite sports is airing.

BUT! Simce I’m mostly homebound, the TV and computer have become increasingly important to me. It would be nice to have a real life... ;o]

I enjoy the B&W movies also. Classic mysteries.. The old Sherlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone, Nick and Nora Charles with that dog Freeway, I cannot think of the name of that one. How about the movie Topper with Cary Grant?

Nick and Nora had Asta.

There are Charlie Chan movies, and other classics that you can find on Netflix, but I would rather get them from TMC.

Still, the B&W movies are pretty great. Mostly, they had to rely on atmosphere and light and shade, plus music, to get the idea across. I like it!

The Ghost and Mrs Muir is a good movie, if you ever come across it. Quite similar to Topper. I don’t recall which came first!

Asta, thanks! I saw The Ghost and Mrs Muir many years ago it is a good one. Topper had that car the Austin Speedtail Roadster I think it was called.. anyway Cary Grant sits on it after he turns into a ghost. What a waste of a great car!

Of course, ‘mommy’ had food, and food equals humans in servitude to feline whims, which means humans out in the cheeseburger mines.

Had a mockingbird who would make that noise.
He also would do cell phone ringtones.
It was amusing to see him do one, and see how many people checked their phones while he watched.

Excellent. We bought them new hiking boots and coats this afternoon.
