Rhathymia? I think my Uncle Bill had this. The doctor gave him some pills and told him to never eat asparagus.

Rhathymia is not my nature. Thus, I wake up in the middle of the night and watch whatever is on TV to make me fall asleep again. Last night it was half a British movie with Philip Saymour Hoffmann entitled “Pirate Radio”. It was so disturbing that I got up and looked it up on the Web and watched the rest of it. Therefore, I overslept, and that is why I’m late to class. Do I need a note?

BTW, I want to see the whole movie from the beginning.

oh, boy! Romney to meet with Netanyahu today, while Obama campaigns.

Now THAT news puts me in rhathymia. The very suggestion that Romney should avoid meeting Netanyahu unless Obozo meets him first just fries my soul. Romney and Netanyahu were friends incollege, FGS.

that video of the woman in Cleveland cackling about the free obama phones is HORRIFYING. that people like that are allowed to vote in his country is mindboggling. xshub was exchanging email with a dem friend of his. the other day he sent the Howard Stern interviews with obama voters. His friend replied with some SNL sketch, saying THIS is funny. xshub said, what? some actors playing roles? i sent you REAL people, who were interviewed BY A LIBERAL, those people are your co-constituents! then he sent the cleveland woman vid yesterday to say, here you go, MORE OF YOUR PEOPLE! He said how does it feel to be one of the 30% of white males voting for Obama? LOL!

Oh yes...I have had doggies like that, but Linda-The-Dog is an absolute angel.

And to think that I was denied housing in a Florida “Over 55” Community, because she weighs over 35 pounds.

I am actually quite glad that happened, as I live in a place now that accepts Me, Linda, My Harley, and my Music.

I guess I am not ready for Bingo, Shuffleboard, and Line dancing just YET. LOL

That’s the movie about a Broadway show that they turned into a Broadway show and then made a movie about it, right?

yes, but NONE of the current stuff can hold a candle to the ORIGINAL.

When their boy gets bounced, the rhathymia of some Obama followers will be replaced by arrhythmia after the election...

Whorealdo claims he's a repub.... that is laughable.
He never saw an illegal alien, democrat felon or mass-murderer he wouldn't defend - or at least make excuses for.

I suppose Fox keeps him to maintain the "sane/insane" balance.

Max (my Golden Retreiver) couldn’t even come up with an entry as a joke on this site. He never does anything wrong. Well, he’s not so good at retrieving. He quickly learned that I’m just going to throw the ball again, so he doesn’t bother to bring it back to me any more. Otherwise, he’s a perfect gentleman.

I dunno. They always seem pretty good to me, and he plays so many different characters. I had to llook it up on the Web to make sure that was him. I don't know why I never saw this in the theatres. It came out in 2009. We generally see at least one movie per week, and we seek out British movies. Somehow, we missed this.

Of course the story line was preposterous! My husband worked on oil rigs in the North Sea in the 1970s and 80s. (He invented a lot of machinery and undersea pipeline connectors and was testing it, etc.) Those DJs wouldn't have lasted 2 minutes dressed like they were in the North Sea. But, it was a good movie anyway.

well julius caesar is full of Pee and vinegar. Mostly he’s a bawlbaby when he’s separated from me, we have the upstairs gated off with baby gates so they can’t go up there. so if i go upstairs to change etc. he stands at the bottom of the stairs looking up at me and bawls at the top of his lungs. another good trick is if their water bowl is empty, he picks it up in his mouth and carries it around and then drops it at my feet. no one taught him that, he did it on his own.

If we could get more people to read about the feckless one, they'd be less likely to cast a vote for him. And then I'd be in a state of rhathymia.
