I read fast, and saw the preview for the movie. The barrel ride down the river scene so disgusted me, made me want to read it again out of spite.

When I read it 100 years ago, I had nightmares of raptors popping up on the other side of the bed to get me. And I was 35 years old! Terrifying read. Enjoy it!

Most of the way through The Hobbit. For the 38th time. :-)

Can’t wait! BUT, and it’s a big but, I hope there isn’t gore. I can’t stand gore, blood. Violence, yes. Blood and gore, no. I know, I’m a big baby. I’m an old big baby. Any one have any news on this for me?

I am laughing out loud at work and getting looks, thankyouverymuch.

I do the same. I’m 58 now...

Pretty sure Harry was protected because he was with Family. I don’t think the Graingers or the Weasleys would have been able to protect him.

Thank you. I appreciate your grandson (ly) and professional concern. She died in 1984, and I still can hear her voice telling me “Daj mi buzi”. Give me a kiss.

When they prepared my grandmother for burial, they ruined her. She had a lip that drooped from cancer surgery when she was a young woman, and the whole time any of us knew her she had this lip that drooped. Well, they “fixed” it. And in the casket she had “normal” lips. She was unrecognizable. I never forgave them for…

I wonder that about the carrots and apples I eat all the time. Seriously. When does the lettuce we have in our salads actually stop living? If we take the top of the pineapple we brought home from the grocery store for dessert, and put it in a pot of soil, it will root and start to grow. So it’s not actually dead.…

I use a 70% dark chocolate bar, real sugar, real vanilla, real rum if it’s winter and we’ve just finished shoveling the driveway. Real milk, real heavy cream. Real pat of butter on top.

I watched this video once. It was like fingernails on a chalkboard.

It sounds so funny to read “on Connecticut” because I’m in Connecticut, and I couldn’t figure out where In connecticut you were talking about! Then I realized I had no idea in hell what you are talking about.

O O!! I was at the assigned table (cruise) with a couple, the other husband ordered his eggs “sunny side up”. He was trying to impress his bride. When they came exactly as ordered, he was all flustered that they weren’t cooked all the way through, but were, gasp, raw on one side! He sent them back to be cooked…

My panels are bought and paid for ;-) Can’t wait to get these puppies installed!

Thank you

There is a bluejeans maker in Hartford, CT. A pair of their jeans is close to $300. I can’t afford that. I try, mightily, to buy made in America, and have for my whole life. But sometimes it’s impossible.

O I’m not referring to Leslie, I’m admonishing anyone who would do that to their parent.

I realize no one is going to read this, or comment on it. ( no one ever does.) But I need to get it out there anyway. When my mom passed away suddenly at a very young and healthy 69, she had only been retired 4 years, and they had looked forward to many years of travel and being together. They were married 50 years.…

I am an adult, 57. And I have nightmares at least every week.
