Oh dear.... did you call that teacher over there? This is not good. Did you report what all he did? Oh no! That was just horrible for you! I have my appointment with my nail lady coming up here in less than an hour! I wish I could send you instead of me to get yourself soothed!

My apologies if the "yankeegirls" comment sent the wrong message. It was an attempt (albeit a poorly executed one) at lightheartedness.

I want to look up the John Denver song you did, too...the first one, not the one I mistook for a John Prine song.

Which song was that? We were gone and didn't get to hear g'nad sing them, though I'd heard him doing it a couple of days before and sang the 'Waltzing Matilda' part with him.

I've got a co-worker who says Netflix starts to pay less attention to you the longer you've been a member. IOW service gets worse.

She says this because she put "Lost in Translation" on her queue two months ago and it said "very long wait." But a co-worker put it on yesterday and it said "now." I also got "long wait."

Apparently this guy has done a study that shows if you rent more than 5 or so a month and they're losing money, your service slows down.

I haven't seen it yet tho.

PE is drugged with antibiotics, with a bowl of homemade tortilla soup on the bedside table.

MMMmmmm... tortilla soup... I'd want some. Cept I had lunch with friends already. Buffet. I had the buffet. Most of it anyway. WN is feeling slightly overstuffed. Okay, maybe that's an understatement!

I cracked up over that joke! Duct tape, two dimes and a nickle! BWAAHAHAHAHA!!!

No problem...it's just that country is one of my favorite kinds of music, though there aren't as many newer artists I like...so I was feelin' kinda defensive, and the yankee comment on top of that...

Sorry I kinda snapped at ya!

"Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices.

I just bought that one. I don't know why. Haven't seen it yet. Hope I don't regret it. I usually don't buy them unless I really like them.

Afore this goes any further, lemme jus' say I don't rightly take to a couple of yankeegirls (and I mean that in fondness) criticizin' country music. You don't have to like it. But a lot of us do.

Ditto! You have my bow. And before I lose my temper once again I'll shut up... for now.

It's kind of addicting, browsing through and adding stuff to your queue.

heh, knew you'd like it! I think we have about 130 in our queue right now.

We've been Netflix members since Oct. of 2000 (same time I joined FR in fact!). We haven't noticed any lessening of service, in fact, since they've moved one of the Distribution centers to Worcester, we have GREAT service. As soon as they receive a film, we get the next one the following day!

If there is a 'wait' on the movie that's #1 in your queue, they'll hold up shipment of the next movie down for a day waiting to see if your first choice comes in. To avoid the delay in getting a new film, we check our queue from time to time to move those 'wait' movies down the list.

I think it's a cult.
