Shit.  I am so sorry for your loss.  My dad died a month ago  and had been in the hospital for about a month before.  It has been hard to deal with.  Visit with him every day so he knows you are there for him, even if he gets crabby.  Share with him the stories of the good times you had together.  That will help him…

I feel you. It is delicate for someone to tell a patron they should clean themselves because it offends other patrons and staff. We had a guy come in at a branch who seemed to be nice and intelligent,  But he wore pants that were in tatters and exposed his bum and sit on the comfy armchairs to read.  Patrons…

I tried to watch Girls, but for some reason I didn’t like it despite it’s popularity.  Most of it was because I just didn’t like the lead.  Then I found out she wrote and produced it, so no wonder I didn’t like it.  Despite the show supposedly being about four friends, it was always about her character. So of course…

I just watched the episode and wow that elevator scene was intense.  I can’t say I like Laurel as a character but it was hard to see her go through that.  I’m guessing the baby lives since we hear cries at the end but who knows with this show.  Also guessing Simon will live but have brain damage so his statements…

That’s horrible!  But I think FB and social media has made it seem more insensitive, but people even before instant information have always loved to be the first one to break news to you.

Thanks.  And it was bad since we had only gotten the call at 5, had just gotten back from the hospital to say our goodbyes and someone checked their cellphone and their it was for all the world to see.  We hadn’t even had a chance to make phone calls to anyone since it was still so early and my sisters hadn’t even…

I can confirm that close family finding out about a close family members death is lousy.  When my dad died last month we got the phone call around 5 in the morning.  His brother and wife were over here from Scotland and they must have called overseas to tell family, and within minutes there were Facebook messages and…

Well most family sitcoms are pretty much interchangeble, but I guess they wanted keep the cast after Harper’s departure, add Duncan, and the show goes on.  And I think they wanted to make Jason Batman a star like Michael J Fox was at the time.

I agree. In one of the earlier seasons, Vecepia won. We hadn’t really seen much of her all season, yet she must have done something to last to the end and actually win. I get the producers don’t want to telegraph who wins, but at least show them on the program bonding and making alliances.

Well I did watch the show when it aired, and while I may be fuzzy on the exact details, they did keep changing the shows name.

From what I have read about this (which I admit is not comprehensive, he was asking questions of a trans woman that made her uncomfortable.  As an actor trying to get a part right I could see someone going to a source so they don’t screw up.  But maybe he was asking questions of her involving sexual relations that…

The first season it was called Valerie.  After Harper was fired for some mysterious reason, (I believe she asked for a raise) they brought in Sandy Duncan and it was called Valerie’s Family.  Then they changed the title to The Hogan Family for the third season.

I liked Lily’s Purple Plastic Purse which was about doing something bad, feeling guilty about it, then making amends.

Yeah. It’s kind of like two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch. But at least your politicians got a clear message now that the majority of Australians want equality for everyone. There are going to be some of them stomping their feet and trying to throw a wrench into progress (as happened here in…

This “title” is just a PR thing. Access to interviews in return for a cover. So I am surprised Disney didn’t try to get one of their actors the cover.

I can’t say I like Biden because other than I know he was Veep don’t know much about him. But I actually like Lady Gaga. Don’t know if she is sincere or hoping to get points for being for being a supporter of gay rights, but she is actively doing something to use her platform to help people even if it might be self…

I hear you. In Canada whenever a news story came up about gay marriage, the pitchforks came out. Then one day I woke up to news that gay marriage was now legal and it was quite a surprise. I didn’t expect it at all. Even the Prime Minister stated that they lost that battle and it was time to move on which is the only…

I live in Canada and when I was working in props in movies, it was suggested to me I go get a handgun license. I go down to the police station and fill out a form and get a grilling about why I needed it. I wasn’t even sure myself why I needed it since we used prop guns, Anyway there were lots of hoops to jump through…

I had no idea these candy toys were banned in the US since we have had them in Canada forever. The kids love them since they get chocolate and spend ten minutes trying to put the toy together, then go off and play, but it gives the adults a chance to talk for a minute without one of the wee ones coming up asking about…

I saw that movie when it came out just to see what the heck everyone was talking about. It was unsettling and basically a sort of snuff movie, and wondered why on earth this was made. Then I remembered going to church on Good Friday and Jesus being flogged told by the priest was a high point. So no wonder that movie…
