who says I don't have TV? I don't WATCH TV as a habit...too much worthless dreck. But BG has been very interesting!
Yeah, bring the vcr. Every so often there's a movie you can't get on dvd.
Bring any movies you own. All I've got is anime.
Sheesh. Do ya think we'll get a plaque or sumthin'? Mebbe a plastic trophy of some sort?
No, we get....*drum roll*....
Thread 22!! LOL!
Ooops...missed the point of your post...:< sorry !
Heh...about all I have are musicals and kid movies.
I DO have "Emperor's New Groove", though.
And "The Importance of Being Earnest".
And Star Wars.
And I'll make you watch "Strictly Ballroom" if you've never seen it...
Same goes for "The Efficiency Expert".
I've put this off for far too long...
I'm going now.
Good night!
Well, see you later... our cable TV 'on demand' became active today... it's supposed to have been working for the last few weeks, but it took our cable tech being here to figure it out ;~D
There's a lot of shows on demand, easier than watching the schedule for them.... it's the wave of the future!
It's pretty cool. HBO is free this month, so we're gonna go check it out.
Right behind you, Rosie!
I'm off to bed folkses. Thanks for the fun chat!

Hey... I just saw there's a thread where Keith Knudsen, Doobie Brothers drummer... died of pneumonia today.
Bummer.
Nitey nite...
thanks, think I will. It's gotta be from all this crazy weather we Texans call "winter."
This is a rundown of the typical/average week during winter down here.
Monday - rain 34 degrees
Tuesday - sunshine and 65
wednesday - hard freeze with a chance of flurries.
Thursday - clear and high of 48
Friday - rain with high of 65
Saturday - partly cloudy clearing up after noon high 45
Sunday - rain and high 48.
Our 'on demand' is free with digital cable... some of the movies are pay per view, but the regular kind of TV, and non-premium movies are no extra charge... HBO won't always be free.
So...a tale I have to tell...
In 1989 I had a piece of* old 1973 Bonneville I'd bought for $200 on arriving at Fort Bragg. It was satisfactory in that it motorvated from A to B with regularity and reliability. however, it suffered many of the ills of a car of its class, age, and used-ness.
One day, a local big-name dealer put an ad in the paper with a $300-off coupon** for a $99/mo deal on a 1987 Renault Alliance. I went for it, and of the five or six available selected a silver one with grey interior.
It was the best car I had had up until that time, beat the Bonneville all to bits, was loads of fun to drive, weathered being smacked in the front end by an idiot who wasn't watching where she*** was going, and routinely got 35 MPG in my combination of city and highway driving. I was sorry to give it up when I came down on orders for Germany in '92, and I find that my current car (10 years newer, Pontiac) is almost, but not quite as good as that little Renault was.
Yesterday, I saw this. I want it so bad...
*This is meant to be read straight through, "...piece of old..."; however, everyone should know there is a Naughty Word missing.
**I have worke in the automotive retail industry for five years now, and m fully aware of the degree of nonsense involved with this ad and "coupon".
***Not that it matters.
I dont think I like the Seton program. Especially for starting out in the middle of the year. My one consolation is that I don't have to turn anything in if I dont want to. But this curriculum is almost top-heavy with the religion aspect and barebones in other subjects. Im so busy just trying to get through the curriculum as it stands, that I am almost afraid to pull in supplemental work because I dont want to overload and confuse the poor girl.
Still, its working out well! I think Erin prefers it to the other, now...except for the fact that she has not had play time with her homeschool friend much because her friend has been down with a virus. And the weather has been NASTY, too nasty to get out and about for a walk even.
I hate texas winter.
Our house is a very, very, very fine house,
with two cats in the yard,
life used to be so hard,
now everything is easy cause of you."
They didn't last.
I found out a few years ago that she had given up a baby for adoption during that folkie time, when she hadn't yet made it big. She and the child were reunited a few years ago, which I think is kinda cool.
We saw her in concert in NJ at the Garden State Arts Center, and enjoyed it very much.
Rosie might have some of her music.
Heh. Boy do I feel old realizing that it's over 30 years now that I've known that music! I was even listening to the Beatles this morning; now that's almost ancient by today's standards! ;o)
Joni did write "Both Sides Now": "I've looked at clouds from Both Sides Now". "Send in the Clowns" was recorded and made popular by Judy Collins, but I think it was written by Stephen Sondheim.
