I'm willing to "do" whatever is equal and fair, if I'm going to "get" whatever is equal and fair. Until then, I'm going to ##### and be a ##### about it!
I haven't heard anything good about this movie yet! Usually Quaid can at least manage to add a facial expression (a smile or a wink) that will catch a favorable eye, but I haven't even heard mention of this! This is a forget-about-it movie as far as I'm concerned.
I can only state that I parrot AJ's explanation of the Republican "used to be's" and the Republican "what the be's have become". I can not and will not endorse or support a party that "gives" one or two things that voters really feel they need for themselves so that the real and just needs of others continue to be denied. This social bigotry continues to further divide the people of this nation not unlike the division associated with the Civil War. While others are trying to create ways to bring about mutual steps of equalizing all things for all people in the fairest ways possible, there remains the counter-efforts of others who will continue to maintain separations by class in everything from government to business to education to individuals personal lives.
I love the fact that you were and are such a coward!!!!!
Actually, it took a hell of a lot of bravery to go on and face whatever else life had in store for you! So, I'm going to rephrase my opening line, ok? I love the fact that you were and are such a brave coward!!!!!
This is not the easiest post or subject to comment on. I, who did attempt suicide, can understand the "place" that a person is at when suicide becomes the reality they seek, the solution they seek, the hope they seek. As a survivor and the witness to those who were witnesses to me while I was at that "place", I can understand the effects, the depth of the effects, and the position that those left to witness or those left behind are forced to endure. And, as a person who personally knew two who did commit suicide and two others who came close to succeeding, I understand the guilt, anger, confusion, and loss that is felt and struggled with. However, as a person who has "lived it" and experienced it from all the different angles, I take the stand that suicide is NOT the answer in all cases, and is NEVER the best or only answer in any case!
I certainly saw a lot of Siskel and Ebert. I have seen a few shows here and there since Siskel died. It's always been obvious that Ebert knows how to deliver a critique, whether a viewer (or co-host) agreed with him, and he knew how to defend his opinion.
This has sparked my interest and I really do look forward to hopefully seeing it.
My mom knew how to feed us, meaning she knew enough to provide a filling and satisfying meal. Her long out-of-home working hours dictated quick and easy meals (soup and sandwiches, pasta with sauce from a jar, meatloaf and mashed potatoes, etc.), while Sundays were her days to really cook (roasts with roasted veggies, ham dinners, lasagne, boiled dinners with pork shoulders and veggies). She seldom baked from scratch except for holidays. Using old family recipes, she could make some fantastic Christmas cookies, a fabulous boiled cream-filled Easter cake, and a baked banana pudding to die for.
Ohhh, maybe some people will be distracted by those dimples?
Mario is quite the talented actor, even when hosting most talented pet shows. Hey, I know, the exposure didn't hurt, a person needs to work, and it kept his name "out there". Thank goodness, though, he now will have something to really be proud of, in addition to his success on Saved By the Bell.
I missed these. And I don't think it was because I was watching American Idol, either! I don't even think I had the TV on.
Ahhh, it's true! There are strange things going on in foreign lands!
I don't have much in order, so I should get off my arse and do something about it!
I love Doris Day. I have enjoyed all her movies, but especially love the ones where she is paired up with Rock Hudson. They played off each other so well.
I think you may be right, this may be a first. I hope this makes him feel better about himself and that it leads to an easier and better life for him.
I was born quite chunky, with all the cute baby "folds" that seemed to imply a healthy baby. I remember being teased while growing up and knowing my weight contributed to my limited social life in high school, so I hated being fat for those reasons and for those reasons alone. I found other ways to compensate for my "problem" that worked well into my 30's, so very little effort had ever been made to lose the weight. (I can only recall two specific attempts.) It's not until my world came crashing in that ALL my previous behaviors and attitudes disappeared, including the compensation. (During the buildup of this and up to the time of the full breakdown is when there was a dramatic weight loss. I rightfully felt good about it and myself, but mistakenly felt good about it and myself, too.) "Who I was, what I was" had to be figured out "or else" after that. As I got better and stronger, some of "me" started coming back, so that I felt and was myself again. Funny, but not so funny, weight came back, too. Never has all of it ever been gained back, but I've yet to lose enough to match the weight loss I achieved during that difficult time. I am working on it, though, not just through the "weight thing", but through the "fear thing".
