  1. I plan to greet the extended version also. I dont believe don't the store meant to sell this.
  2. Oh, I plan to. Watched it twice already in theater now I can experience it at home.
  3. ME, this lady right here!!!
  4. Went into Walmart for one thing and found that the folks in electronics had a copy out and already in the system. Guess who walked out with the new Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug?!!
  5. Sorry about the loss of your chickens. I hope you find out what the cause is. We had chicks last summer and they died on us. I was starting to like those little baby ladies. Good for you with the read-a-thon! Sounds like fun. Congrats to your granddad and many happy returns! Here it is, April and I'm just getting use to writing 2014. The time, it is a flyin'. I got an early start this morning. Added a little color to my hair, cleaned the bathroom (ugh) made a bank run, dropped off/picked up items from the library, did the grocery shopping and then went to get the taxes done; only to find out I had left half the paperwork at home (duh duh duh DUMB! ). So I headed back home and halfheartedly attempted to organize the kitchen. Now I'm just hanging around waiting on the Fedx guy to deliver my phones so I can get back to business. I honestly don't know when's the last time I went a whole day without a cellphone! Actually, I kind of like it I'm not sure when I'm going to let folks know that I have it!
  6. You are right, no more hiding. Elenora, you are beautiful. Lovely, warm eyes that definitely shows the loveliness within. Emelee, your better be careful! You might cause major distractions with your pupils!
  7. Last night I made a portabella mushroom burger. YUMMY!!! I became a vegetarian near the end of last year so its been a bit of a struggle finding and creating meals that satisfy my hunger without making me feel as though I'm missing out. Anyways, I sauteed a large mushroom in butter w/white wine and a little garlic. The bread I used are these new flat wheat burger buns, which are a little thinner than sandwich bread. I topped it with Havarti cheese, hot house tomato, lettuce, onion, avocado with deli stone ground mustard. OMGosh!!! Talk about good eating!!! Guess what I'm going to have for dinner tonight?! As the only herbivore in my home, I have to make two meals. For the menfolk, I made homemade broccoli and beef stir-fry. I think its safe to say they enjoyed it as there were no left overs.
  8. I know but she as the "new" librarian lady look. Smart, sexy, geeky, all the things that will keep the library a "happening" place!
  9. Thanks! I love that impish look you have emelee! KInd of like the naughty librarian!
  10. You're welcome!
  11. Trying to wrap my brain around statements from that useless piece of flesh, Gwenoth Paltrow and her comments on working moms. She's a total dingbat who shouldnt be allowed to speak without handlers.

      Dear gwinnie had the NERVE to compare her life as a mother with that of ordinary working mothers. She actually thinks she has it harder. The twit...UGH!!! She's a GOOP.

  12. Here I am, about two months ago.
  13. Hehe, good one. I don't know what happened. It does seem like all of my pics are too large and the ones that seemed to fit just wouldn't post. I browsed, selected and clicked but nothing.
  14. I'm going to fit it in between my Hamish Macbeth and Elizabeth George!
  15. Haven't heard of it but I'm getting it!
  16. No problem. The Edge of Nowhere Overview The first young adult book by a #1 New York Times bestselling author! Whidbey Island may be only a ferry ride from Seattle, but it's a world apart. When Becca King arrives there, she doesn't suspect the island will become her home for the next four years. Put at risk by her ability to hear "whispers"—the thoughts of others—Becca is on the run from her stepfather, whose criminal activities she has discovered. Stranded and alone, Becca is soon befriended by Derric, a Ugandon orphan adopted by a local family; Seth, a kindhearted musician and high school dropout; Debbie, a recovering alcoholic who takes her in; and Diana, with whom Becca shares a mysterious psychic connection. This compelling coming-of-age story, the first of an ongoing sequence of books set on Whidbey Island, has elements of mystery, the paranormal, and romance. Elizabeth George, bestselling author of the Inspector Lynley crime novels, brings her elegant style, intricate plotting, incisive characterization, and top-notch storytelling to her first book for teens. One is called The Edge of the Water Overview A mysterious girl who won’t speak; a coal black seal named Nera that returns to the same place very year; a bitter feud of unknown origin—strange things are happening on Whidbey Island, and Becca King, is drawn into the maelstrom of events. But Becca, first met in The Edge of Nowhere, has her own secrets to hide. Still on the run from her criminal stepfather, Becca is living in a secret location. Even Derric, the Ugandan orphan with whom Becca shares a close, romantic relationship, can’t be allowed to know her whereabouts. As secrets of past and present are revealed, Becca becomes aware of her growing paranormal powers, and events build to a shocking climax anticipated by no one.
  17. She does have another one out but I can't remember the title of it. She also has a different series out. Its more paranormal or mystical for lack of a better description! Its a coming of age book, very haunting.
  18. Congrats Lucy! Talisman, all I can say is you are well rid of that place. Wipe the dust off your feet and keep it moving without looking back. I've spent the morning taking the son to get a hair cut then came home to finalize the new family budget. I can honestly say that I have never been so detailed about it before. I got everything, including how to soften the blow by paying things weekly instead of monthly. Doesn't seem quit so scarey now. Another dentist appointment scheduled in an a little over an hour, then its off to walk the dog and then come back to read and try my hand at jewelry making.
  19. I'm watching Miss Marple Mysteries. Yesterday it was Murder She Wrote and last night it was Bones. I'm on a mystery kick.
  20. I really LOVE Sheldon and since Amy joined the little group, his quirkiness has expanded to new levels! They just mesh together. I do wish Raj would find a human to love as much as he loves his dog. Its bordering on creepy! lol!!
  21. My name is Virginia and I am a Big Bang Theory addict. I am also responsible for my husband's addiction. I am a user and and enabler. Please do not attempt to help me. Its so bad that my husband's ringtone is "Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty...." there is no 12-step program, no magic pill, no therapy for me. I am doomed, lost, LOST I SAY, lost.
  22. We have larger regional dialects and mostly its the words we use that will give a general idea of where a person is from. We can easily tell whose from the North, South, East and West Coast but folks tend to say or sound the same within that state, except for groups like the Geechie and Gullah. The Gullah are from African descent that have their truly own distinct language.
  23. According to the story, her mother married Mr. O'hara because he would take her away from sorrow. Her father was a mean old git and her mother was also detached and haughty. But her biggest reason for leaving was a broken heart. She loved a cousin who disappeared. While she loved her family, I don't think she would ever have that burning love for anyone else. Propriety and appearances.
