I LOVE Franka kicking ass! I was SO disappointed when she exited "Bourne 2" so quickly. She can play very tough AND very vulnerable. Glad to see another fan.

I'd like to see Franka Potente as Christine....

These posts are heaven; thanks so much again for taking the time. The trees & mountains in VT/NH are calling me. I WAS concerned slightly about the NH libertarian gun-nut factor. They make so much noise on the news, y'know.

Sounds perfect, and maybe not TOO far from some relatives down in CA! Started looking there today........ SO helpful. Thanks again.

Thank you. I thought I heard it has its rough sections of town though? So glad you mentioned RI.

Thank you!

Canada doesn't want me, though I want them.... When I have enough money to change their minds, look for me in Vancouver!

OMG—-This is the best thing I've ever read. Well, kinda. I've really been curious about NH (good deals there now), and the details you provided are exactly what I wanted to know. I will be referring back to this post, thank you so much.

Thank you so much! I will look it up. Oregon is a contender, but Portland is so $$$!

Exactly where I'm looking now.....Bellingham, Ferndale, Birch Bay, Blaine. Sedro Wooley? I guess Concrete would be as big a mistake as it sounds? Supposedly cheap though.

I may finally have an opportunity to escape a shitty BF & this Red State of my birth. I know and love all of California & NYC, but I can't afford either, and I'd like a place more sparsely populated than those (trees), in an area with as few narrow-minded womb-watching assholes as possible. Places where gays can marry…

You will be surprised at how soothing it really is. Buy generic, b/c it's the magnesium that's the key. No need to splurge.

Milk of Magnesia (PLAIN, unflavored) makes the finest soothing mask for acne-prone and sensitive skin. It absorbs oil and actually helps stop redness. It's very watery, so you just use a cotton pad to blot it onto your face, then let it dry, and rinse. MoM saved my skin back in the day; it shrinks inflammation…

So sorry, dollface. Thanks for replying! A commenter by that name (a non-royal "Ida Blankenship") was an old favorite elsewhere, and I haven't seen 'her' for years. Sorry to bother you. Cheers.

Hi Ida......Do I miss you from CDaN? Or are you a different 'Ida'?

The end, where you can tell that it's an everyday thing for the dad to openly talk to his son about his feelings—-Floodgates.

delete dammit. too mean.

AND we really DO 'require thinning out'.

Don't forget yelling! He was the only one yelling the whole time, like a drill sargeant. Maybe Roddenberry thought that was a plausible 'alien characteristic'? lmfao remembering hat.

OMG...I never realized this. Mine is Jodie Foster. And Bridget Fonda....I've been compared to both, and ALWAYS defend them. haha.
