yes, a/c is a must. There are so many poor souls without it, you hear about people dying in the heat, almost always elderly, who couldn't afford the cost of air conditioning. Frightening, and heartbreaking. Howdy Neighbor.. it has been a bit on the hot side around ole KC lately, hasn't it?? I hope ...

we have 9 year olds in common, mine turns 10 pretty soon I remember that now.. mine will be 10 after the first of the year.. where DOES the time go???? Parents, they're probably worse than the kids They really can be sometimes. I wonder if it has always been that way.. or if it is just a trend we a...

I am learning to take parental gossip with a grain of salt. Jackie.. you are so right. Parents really can be quite deluded sometimes and I have found that it really is silly the way people just "go" with whatever version their kids tell them about stuff at school. And it may not even be a...

Excuse the interuption folks, but wanted to pop in here and mention the TCM event from yesterday for Singing in the Rain. I posted on it over on their message board too, but wanted to pop in here as well and say how much we enjoyed getting to be there. We do not get many classic movies on the big sc...

Thanks Mr. Movieman.. It has been a while. I don't get to post as often as I used to.. but I do check in now and then.. you know me... I do like to blab.. and I am the original "bad penny" ha.. sooner or later I'm bound to turn up.

Kathy ( "Rohanaka" ) ought to see the turn this thread is taking. Ha! [/quote] Indeed, Miss Maven.. it has been a while since I have had a chance to pop in here..and thanks to Miss G pointing me in the right direction.. this is a LOVELY find. Great idea for a thread Ms. CCFan. (and ps.. h...

Wow.. so much good gardening advice in this thread.. way cool. April.. I just wanted to comment that I think those videos are fascinating. That last one.. with the whole "urban homestead".. wow. And ps.. even if one were not to decide to go all out.. but just do a little.. I think patio ga...

One of the things I like best about The Ox Bow Incident (despite the fact that I am a "western" fan), is that it really is more of a commentary on human nature and what makes folks tick.. (and motivates a mob to become a mob)than it is your typical "cowboy" story. So it did not n...

Hiya Neighbor.. so glad you got to go. Sounds like it was a nice treat! I have been enjoying reading your thread. Thanks for the fun read!

Hiya Neighbor!! I have not been in that theater in Olathe in a good long while but I do think I know which one you are going to (if I recall) Don't get out that way as often as I used to.. since we moved over to the MO side of town. I bet you will have a GREAT time. I only wish I could be so lucky. ...

So very jealous. But at least can be happy that YOU got to go see my favorite movie on the big screen, my friend.

Hello Birdy... I am so very sorry to hear of such a sad loss in your family. It is never easy to lose a loved one, but especially hard when they are so young and have so much life in them. I am praying for your sister and her kids (and you too, ma'am) I hope you are all doing as well as can be expec...

It would be interesting to see if there was ever an idea to make it into a regular feature length film. I don't know if that was ever a consideration or not. I did a little "googling" and found the AMC website where there is a lot of really fun stuff on this film, including a 25 or 30 min...

Hello mrsl... (ha.. a hex huh?? NO way.) :D He was wonderful with those girls. I love the way you could just see him sort of take charge of them.. almost like a "mother hen". So patient and calming with them. And I love how he just worried over them and watched out for them. It was very em...

I was watching Broken Trail this afternoon and although I enjoyed seeing it all again... I just started to really WATCH Robert Duvall this time. Wow... I have likely mentioned this before, but I have to say that among the more "modern day" western actors... he is at the top of my list. He ...
