Howdy and Happy Trails, Woodeye! Goodnight, Grog!

Goodnight JFri!

’Night, Carmy!

CARMY Eggs made to order? I’d like mine yellow, pink and green and hidden in my back yard. Could you keep those pesky rabbits out of my garden?

Morning TRIBE! Tomorrow the minister will ask, “Who are you and have you been in my church before?”

Morning, Doctor Toon & Lewreader

I have First Contact on tape. The original series movies I have on DVD - except the Final Frontiere.

My VCR recently ate The Quiet Man. Oh, well. I wanted to upgrade that movie to DVD anyway.

I want to get an early start to my day so I’m off to do my errands.

BBL

Good Morning Doc T & Grog!

Doc T you have technical and ethical issues?

Doc T ~ If your son is like you in personality, he is not a poor kid.

My daughter is a lot like me, but I try to blame the negative stuff on her dad. One day while we were shopping, she was being a smart@55. I told her she got the smart from me and the @55 from her father. LOL

Then I was good and told her not to give up hope, maybe her father would change for the better. She had just been complaining about some of her father’s prejudices.

Thank you for your apology LuvH8

GOOD MORNING TRIBE!

I can’t stay right now, but never fear, Shika will return.

Good Morning All. I prefer “jiggly” to “Gigli”.

Doc, that is one studious looking kitty you have selected for this week.

Your welcome Shika, thank you again, sometimes it’s nice to have someone willing to point out your errors. Hi & Bye.

Good Morning Cleo

Good Morning LuvH8 & Doc. It doesn’t matter Doc, cats believe they are smarter than their humans anyways, so they might as well look the part.

Morning Doc That kitty likely is smarter than all of us.

Hello and goodbye again. A Shika move.

Good Morning Shika.

Have a Good Day Everyone! See you all later.

Good Morning Tribe

Hello LuvH8, Shika, Cleo, Grog, Doc & Lewreader!

Hello Woodeye.

You work tonight, right Doc?

Whatcha got going today?

Doc, I’ve got pool league today. I was going to take my used oil and chemicals to the recycle place, but that may need to wait until next weekend.

Good morning all! I would have rejected the role Wink, not worth it.

@Lewreader ROFLMAO!!

Good Morning Johnny.

Doc love your new avatar. And didn’t you get lucky! $5 plus a discount for a VCR that works!

Just nipping in for brunch. I’ll have what JFri had. Cheesy eggs, hash browns and pirate’s coffee!

Hi JFri, Dry, Doc, Marg and cleo!

Thanks Carmy!

LOL lewreader! How true!

Hello to all who show up later.

Have a good day friends; back to work now (for me.)

Hi johnny!

Bye johnny!

Hi johnny, Cleo, and Woodeye, wherever you got to.!

Hi Shika! Bye Shika!

Good Morning Tribe

I had a good week. It was a pretty bleeep good week! I think there were good vibes from the Tribe keeping me from panic mode when I’d get just a little bit behind. Thank you ! Thank you!!

I’m withdrawing a bit of karma to keep the trend going as I get into the groove of handling my new responsibilities. I think my next review is sometime next week…Wednesday I think. I’ll drop in and share the news when I get it.

My son’s fully moved in but not fully unpacked. He went out yesterday afternoon and still isn’t back. He told me when he was going to stay out all night Wed. night, but I heard nothing about this one. I am worried a tad…..visions of son smashed flat on the road vs all night gaming session vs still asleep in bed with his sweetie. Hopefully the first vision will be the loser.

Got to go start lunch. Turkey fillets wrapped in bacon with a side dish. Dunno what yet but it should be nice.

Hi, Quaby

Good Morning Yappies! (((((Quaby))))) I pray you hear from you son very soon. I’m sure all is well, but hearing from him will be comforting to you. Doc, please know that those books are purely fiction. Sadly, many people have taken them to heart. Once the Lord makes His second coming, there is no second chance. Shika, you’re very welcome sister!

Doc, I’ll catch you later.

Too bad I missed you, Grog.

Gettin’ ready and then off to shoot some pool!

P&L ALL

Hi Carmy!

Shika move here.

Hi Terry and Quaby

I hope you hear from you son soon Quaby

Doc Easter is more than bunnies and eggs. (With apologies to bunnyface! But isn’t it great that new life comes in the Spring?

(((((carmy))))) Brunch was yummy!

Why hello and good bye to everyone who has come and gone since my post!

Hola Dry! Doc, have a nice rest! Have a blessed day, Shika!

Hey Johnny! Long time no see. Are you doing okay?

Hi Carmy, I am doing well, I just have been quite busy lately. Still not done with all the work, but I am taking a break for now. How have you been?

Johnny, I’m doing okay. I’ve been a bit tired, so I nap when needed. My girls are on Spring Break. They went to the beach as it got quite warm, the water temp though was quite chilly. I’m glad you are doing well. Someday soon you won’t be so busy, then you relax and enjoy the fruits of your hard work!

@DocT, I did go through most of the Left Behind series, but I thought the original (Revelations) was better…

Good Morning, ((((Tribe)))))!!

Happy Blessed Easter

Happy Passover

Happy Spring Weekend

For those of you in the South - how’s the pollen drift? It’s so bad here in the midlands of SC that it looks foggy - if fog were yellow.

Good Morning bunnyface (bmonk)!

Good Morning, jdoc, Carmy, celecca!

Hello bmonk and celecca Carmy, you think the ocean is chilly? You can’t even think about jumping in the lakes up here until halfway into June, and even then, it is at your own risk!

Hi bunnyface, celecca and johnny I think I am repeating myself here.

I think I got some nuclear coffee mixed with pirate’s coffee. I should get a lot done today in that case!

Jdoc, how about Lake Superior? It rarely gets above about 50F, even in August…

Good Morning celecca! The pollen level is very high in FL today. No yellow fog in view, but my nose knows. Johnny, it’s going to be awhile until the ocean warms up a bit here. Even though the day temps have been hitting the 80’s, the water temps are in the 60’s.

bmonk, Whitefish Bay was comfortable the last time I was there. But that was quite awhile ago. Carmy, the 60’s is pretty good for water temperature in my opinion. Now I have to head to work, bbl.

Hey there, bunnyface, carmy, jdoc, and shika

Carmy I’ve lived in the south since 1991 and I have never seen it this bad before.

Hope all is well with everyone. I’m off to rehearse 7 kids for a Gospel Procession for tomorrow. I have 5 “newbies” this year. Should be interesting!

Have a good afternoon and evening.

Yes, Shika, You ShouldBeAbleToGetALotDoneToday! No more coffee for you!

Celecca I to know of the yellow fog. Actually I know of two types of yellow fog:

1) the noxious fumes from PetroChem in Pasadena, TX, it was enough to promote the sport of non-breathing. When it was really bad you’d try to breath but after a moment or two the nose and throat clamp down and say ‘NO MORE”. One memorable day it was so yellow we couldn’t see the school bus until it was almost on us. Black stripes and lettering coming out of the fog, it was unreal.

2) the pollen fog present here in the armpit of the universe. I have two cars, blue and white. Thursday I went out and it looked like someone had replaced them with a green car and a yellow car.

DocT I have the Left Behind books. It’s two guys interpretation of one of the strangest books of the Bible. Wait until you see the stinging critters, complete with demon faces. And, personally, I think God would give another chance, right up until decision time.

celecca, I haven’t been in FL that long, but I also never had problems with the pollen until recent medical situations changed that. Good luck with the rehearsal. May everyone be Blessed with their Gospel Procession tomorrow. Quaby, have you heard from your son?

celecca A gospel processional? We’re having that on our traditional service as well. We rehearsed Monday night, the one what wiped me out really good (over 3 hours). Easter and Christmas are our ‘high’ days with full rites. Crucifer, the little one carrying the bible, 2 acolytes, and the Festival Choir (bigger than the normal choir). We are so far in back of the line and down a hallway we don’t even hear the confession and forgiveness. We figure we got it the week before and we’ll get it next week.

Carmy IthinkthatyouarerightabouttheCoffee.IfIhavetoomuchCoffee,myGospelprocessionwillLookandsoundlikethis.

No more coffee!

Carmy, my SCUBA certification card is marked ”COLD WATER DIVER because our ocean is so cold! Usually in the forties! Soooo……

:-P

Quabby, in Organic Chemistry we had a guy put nitric acid in a beaker to boil instead of HCL which created a big cloud of nitrous oxide, aka laughing gas!

Hi & Bye Tribe! - I’ve got a lot of work to get done to day, so can’t stay & visit. Doc - Regarding Letter Jackets. My sons’ homeschool bowling league actually allows them to “letter” in bowling, and yes, my oldest son’s bowling partner actually bought a letter jacket to put his letter on. I had to explain to my kids what the whole “lettering thing” was about, but they didn’t care about doing it.

Hi JFri!!

Of course you are gone, but then so am I!

Where’d JFri go?

Carmy still no word. I suspect he had to work today as well. I know he games on Friday night.

But still, he’s a big boy. He doesn’t have to tell me comings and goings….I’d just like to know if I shoud leave the light on or off.

Quaby if he’s living with you, he owes you to at least let you know he’s okay.

Hello Tribe. It has been a bizarre day weather wise, rain, a brief touch of snow, hail and now sunshine, but cold, with a cold wind to add to the merriment.

Dry, what does he look like?

Hello JFri, what’s shaking down in your neck of the woods?

*Oh he’s one ugly “mother”! *ROFLMAO!

Howdy Cleo! BEAUTIFUL SUMMER DAY HERE!

I know,Dry, but we’re still feeling things out. And he is helping with bills and food. He’ even taking Stormy to the vet, she’s getting worse and though Stormy’s before me in $$ priority, there’s a bunch more ahead of her. Sigh

I’ve done some sorting and pitching in my closet as well as finished disassembling the big shelving unit. I think I will lay down, and if I’m lucky I’ll have a snoozle.

Glad you’re having nice weather Dry, helps make up for some of the crud you were getting.

Quaby, that is great that he is helping with the food, bills, and Stormy!

Cleo yes it does!

Hey JFri! :-P!!!

Quaby, take the snoozle, you need some rest. Hola Cleo! Dry, it hotter where you are! We’re at 70 right now.

Carmy It’s 75 here, and why am I sitting here? BBL

Hola Carmy. I am jealous, your 70 sounds mighty good when I am at 45 degrees.

I have banana bread, just out of the oven. This is my first time using this recipe. It is supposed to be healthier than normal banana bread. It certainly is heavier. Each loaf weighs two pounds.

Cleo, 45? Hopefully some nice weather will head your way soon. That is some heavy bread there. Let us know how it tastes.

It is heavy. My wife will probably try it before me. There is lots of tasty stuff in it though, so I think it will be good.

Good Afternoon, Quaby, JFri, Carmy, Cleo, Fellow Baby and anyone else I may have missed!

im sorry but i didnt get on last nite after i asked if any one have heard of michael buble so have any of you???

I never have–but there are many famous people I’ve never heard of …

Hello. diffrent & bunnyface! I’ve never heard of him either, but then I could care less about most of today’s celebrities.

hes not very famous hes a singer not a big one though

Hello Grog & diffrent. I have heard his music and he has a good voice. My interests in music tend to veer in a number of directions from alternative, to jazz, to blues, to rock and punk. About the only music I do not embrace is Opera. I appreciate the voices but the style is a bit to bombastic. Some might say rock is bombastic, but that would be more in the instruments than the voice.

Greetings all. Just a quick fly through to see who is here. I don’t have much time to chat on nights I’m working.

((((((TRIBE)))))))

true i go the same way reall dont have a favoret type of music but could care less for opera. and i love his music its so pretty c:

Hello Everyone!

Grog if you still have the VCR, a lot of times if you remove the lid and clean the parts that the tape makes contact with rubbing alcohol, it will fix the problem of tape eating. (unplug it first of course)

Hello serena.

Hello, LuvH8. I clean my VCR’s & DVD players regularly. This was truly a problem with the tape.

Cleo ♫♪♫♪”He ain’t heavy, he’s my BREAD♫♪♫♪

My apologies to the Hollies,

(Bad joke, I know! LOL!)

Dry, your joke fell like a ton of bread.

Grog, wait until you need to buy a new tape re-winder. They’ve done jacked up the prices on those.

Just had a piece of my homemade banana bread and it is good, but as taste confirmed, it is not a dessert bread. But it is a very good, dense bread that tastes great with butter on it. Dry, I actually was friends of one of the members of the band Bread. Larry Knechtel used to live near me and I got to be friends with him. Unfortunately he passed away last year and he was not that old. He also played piano on Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Trouble Water” and on Johnny River’s “Secret Agent Man”, I think he played guitar. He was a studio musician before and after Bread.

Cleo. I’m glad your bread came out well. Does it taste at all like banana? I think the only bread I’ve made other than plain is pumpkin.

I love those songs, cleo.

Cleo I am impressed. I remember that name. Did they do the theme from the Goodbye Girl?

You didn’t say anything about my joke! :-(

That doesn’t surprise me a bit, Carmy.

Slowly, I am reducing my reliance on VCR players, anyway.

Cleo, how nice that you were friends with Larry. I’m sorry he passed away too soon.

Why does this quote from The Goodbye Girl remind me of Cleo.? I am decent. I also happen to be naked.

Gee Carmy I haven’t the faintest idea! LOL!

Carmy the bread does not taste like bananas. It isn’t sweet either. It tastes like bread with walnuts and only the slightest hint of sweetness. The sweets to flour ratio are small enough that they only hint as to their presence.

Dry your joke was… LOL. As to the theme from “Goodbye Girl”, I do not know. I will google it.

Dry, yes they did. I am not sure if Larry was with them at that time or not.

Carmy Are you saying that Dry’s joke is like flat bread? I thought it was pretty good! :-D

Cleo I haven’t seen that movie in years, but all this talk, I would love to see it again. Wonder if it’s still around?

I guess I must pass on the bread then, with walnuts, you know. Haven’t seen Goodquestion for awhile, but if my memory is correct, that person was also allergic to walnuts.

But then, I do have a Dry sense of humour!

I’m glad SOMEONE appreciated my joke! :-D

Was there any doubt, Dry?

Anyone know where JFri went? I guess people are travelling for the holidays.

Hi Shika! Dry, I’m sure the movie is still around. It is a good movie. Cleo, did LilG like the bread?

The only place I am traveling to is the couch. In the last few days we have seen, The Greatest Story Every Told, King of Kings and The Passion.

Carmy yes, LilG proclaimed it perfect and said, “If I make it again, don’t make any changes.” By the way Dry, the walnuts were optional. It would be just as good minus them.

Cleo next time, use almonds, okay? Then I can eat some.

I did learn something though. If I make a bread that bakes that long again, I will turn the pan 180 degrees half way through. One side was done and the other needed several more minutes of baking.

Carmy I’ve never seen the Passion, I heard it was terribly intense, and also not in English. And now that my hero, Mel, has done what he’s done, he’s fallen in my eyes. Though, I must admit, I will watch “Signs” anytime, anyplace! I loved that movie. In fact, I believe we own it, somewhere in that multitude of VHS and DVD’s. LOL!.

Cleo, you need to note that down on your recipe so you will remember.

Carmy, I think that I will remember, but that is probably a smart thing for me to do.

Carmy The Passion was in English, I’m pretty sure. I watched the movie. It was very intense. Perhaps they had sub-titles tough, and I have forgotten.

I’m going to an Easter Vigil tonight, so I guess I’ll be moving on to get ready. I don’t know how long it will be, but it should be interesting.

Peace, my friends.

Cleo, I have to do that to my recipes because I do forget. Dry and Shika, I believe The Passion on DVD gives you the option on which language you would like to hear. It also has subtitles. We did see the Aramaic version, but with the English subtitles. Dry, I loved Signs too, and all the Mad Max movies and especially “Tim.” If you haven’t seen that one, see it as soon as you can!

Have a blessed evening, Shika! Dry, I forgot to mention that The Passion is extremely intense. You will need a full box of tissues within reach.

Tim? Refresh my memory,Carmy. I think I may have seen it.

Tim is the movie with Mel and Piper Laurie. He’s young, she’s an older woman, yada, yada, yada.

Dry, Gallipoli is a good one too. Gosh, I think I’ve seen almost all of Mel’s movies.

No, I didn’t see that. I was thinking of the one where he died and came back, or something like that.

Mel has got some work to do to rebuild his reputation. I liked the Lethal Weapon series.

Hello Doc. So I would imagine tonight is going to be a busy work night for you?

Hi Doc!

Cleo yes he does have a LOT of rebuilding to do. I respected him, , and I loved all his movies, Lethal Weapon series, was great! Oh well, there are few in that business that at some time, don’t fall from grace. I think Hollywood is like Sodam and Gomorrha.

Dry that is why when you run into people like Paul Newman, Jimmy Stewart and Meryl Streep you have to appreciate how they have handled success.

Same to you doc!

Cleo yes. And a few others, like Bob Newhart and Don Rickles.

Take care Doc.

Then there is Paris Hilton who makes her debauchery increase her celebrity.

Cleo yes and all the others little STARLETS! And what do you call the male version?

hello doc (smiles)

Good guestion Dry, I guess opportunists.

Mel Gibson was awesome in”Payback”!

JFri I just watched the trailer for “Payback”. It looks good. I haven’t seen it or heard of it. I will put it on my netflix cue.

JFri, should I get the theatrical release or the director’s cut, which is supposed to have a different ending and be more violent?

The one with the more violent ending. The other one just doesn’t quite make sense. But talk about plot twists!

Thanks, I will put it on my queue. When you go camping on the coast do you like to go to the state park campgrounds? You have a lot of nice ones.

I think my husband watched Payback recently. I didn’t, I was to busy yapping here with you all!

Carmy, my problem when it comes to movies, is that we watch them after dinner. I am full, have had some wine and a cocktail or two. I sit down, wide awake and in no time I am sleeping. My wife watches the movie on her own. When I do stay awake, it is my wife who falls asleep.

I am also one of those people who can go to bed and be asleep instantly (and that is no lie).

Cleo, I am famous for falling asleep during a movie. I don’t always, but sometimes I do. The last time I fell asleep, I slept through the middle. I managed to see the beginning and the end. I am finding that I too am falling asleep almost instantly when I go to bed. I just get comfy and then zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Carmy it has been really consistent since we bought a new mattress about a year ago. Both LilG and I had been waking up with our bodies aching. We spent some big bucks on a new mattress and it has been wonderful. If you are going to spend close to a third of your day on a mattress it is worth the money. Unless I am on a road trip I never spend that much time in my car.

Hello yappy nuts I just finihed my pork chops, apple sauce & cauliflour. Delish!

cleo, where’s the Bookers?

I’m now having a Heine and watching Are You Being Served?

Dinner time. See your my Tribe friends.

Cleo, oh yes, a new mattress does wonders. See you later!

Hi Grog!

Hello, Carmy!

Grog, were you busy getting stuff done?

Carmy, I think I envy you. By the time I get to the week-end I am sleep-deprived. But this afternoon I was able to take a two & 1/2 hour nap. I wish I could fall asleep the way you can on week days.

Best thing I ever did was buy Pacific Coast feather pillows. We spent a few nights at the Hampton in Ithaca moving our son into Cornell, best pillows I ever slept on. Checked the label on the pillow before we left. Contacted the company, bought the same pillow, not cheap, BUT I’M WORTH IT! Then sometime later stayed at Hilton Gardens, checked the pillows again. Pacific Coast again, called them, got another pillow, now have 2 of the most COMFORTABLE FEATHER PILLOWS! I LOVE THEM! Spent over $100 on both, but like I said, I LOVE THEM!

I was doing some errands thhis morning, including getting my hair cut and getting some lawn care products. I’ve got more weeds this year than I think I’ve ever had.

Something to work on tomorrow morning before the heat & humidity gets to me.

And yes, I get into bed, esp. on a Sat. night, when weather permitting, I crawl into nice lovely sheets with the smell of FRESH AIR all day long with my sheets on the line, and I feel so SNUGGLY I fall asleep within minutes. Of course, if something is on my mind, I wake up a few hours later, and dwell on that for awhile before I can fall back to sleep again.

Dry, are they available at Mattress Giant or a similar retailer?

HEY FELLOW BABY! You get those KRP’s yet?

Peacock, get your eyes of her bust!

No Dry and it’s starting to tick me off. I even sent them an e-mail about it and have not yet got a response to that. The laugh is I asked for expidited shipping.

There they go again! Grog, don’t envy me. I’m sick, that’s why I sleep so much. I’m multi-tasking here so I’ll be off and on. I’m washing dishes (cuz I said I would) and making a late dinner. I got wrapped up doing a jigsaw puzzle with daughter #2. It was really hard!. It was of the United States, but the pieces were oddly cut. They also had pieces shaped as states, but they didn’t go where their respective states were. We were persistent and we were triumphant!

Grog I don’t know,. I ordered directly from the company because I wanted the hotel pillows. And who is Peacock?

GO CARMY!

((((((((((((((((((CARMY)))))))))))))))))))))))

Still, I’d like to be able to fall asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.

well done to Carmy on the jigsaw puzzle, and hello to all the Yappy Nuts who populate this Tribe. just got back from my cousin’s place where we celebrated my Aunt’s 80th birthday. as i posted a day or two back, it’s a little bitter sweet as hers is the day after Mom’s. so, while it was great to see all the cousins again, it was also a reminder of missing Mom. as my Sis noted to my youngest cousin, it would have been a double party and it would have been an absolute bash had Mom still been alive. anyhow, i’m just doing a quick flyby tour since i need to get up early for Church tomorrow a.m. and won’t be back tonight. Happy Easter, Friends!

Captain Peacock, Dry

Good to see you yyyguy!

Hi again. I have a few minutes before I have to leave and where else would I rather spend it than here?

(((((((((((Carmy)))))))) Way to go on your puzzle. I love doing those but it usually takes me a long time. I had one spread out on a table for over a year and a half.

Darn. Time is nearly up.

There’s a song I haven’t heard in a long time. All I want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth (I am watching the show “Christmas Crackers” from Are You Being Served)

Yguy were your mom and aunt twins, born a day apart, or just born in separate years near the same day? Happy Easter to you too, sir!

(((((((yguy)))))) I know how it feels to miss your mom, and in my case, my dad too!

Thank you all for the congrats! I forgot to mention that we were missing 2 pieces. Turned out that daughter #3 hid one of the pieces under the rug. (Why? I do not know).Then I remembered I had seen one of the pieces on the closet floor and I put it in the box with the game pieces. So we had all 300 pieces.

Grog OF COURSE, CAPTAIN PEACOCK! Do you watch “Last of the Summer Wine”? If you don’t you should!

I miss both parents, too. It’s hard to believe that it’s been over 20 years for my Dad. My Mom’s passing will be 5 years in December.

Dry, I would if I could. I, for the most part, love British comedies. But I don’t think I have ever seen it on any of the local schedules where ever I’ve been.

I do not like Dr Who though. The Avengers is another story. I’ve also liked seeing The Saint.

Dry my Aunt married my Mom’s older brother. They were born a day apart, and knew each other her whole life. my Uncle’s been gone for nearly 15 years, now; Mom passed a bit less than 2 years back. I’ll be at Church tomorrow in her memory (as it would have been her birthday) and to support Dad who spent almost 60 years loving her, (they were married for 54 years) and must miss her more than any of us siblings can begin to imagine. we’ll be okay, and so will Dad, but it helps to be together.

Grog the original Saint, in B & W was really good! Haven’t seen that in ages! I saw some Dr. Who, long time ago, so can’t really comment, as I don’t remember them, age you know! LOL! And yes, I do remember the original Avengers! Great stuff, again, haven’t seen in quite a while!

I should add that I think that the local PBS station has the worst programming that I’ve seen on any PBS station. I don’t watch it much at all. The station in Dallas was pretty good as were the 2 feeds I got while living in Montreal.

Grog Ever see the following: Irish RM Minister Yes MInister Good Neighbors Open All Hours Chef The Two of Us To The Manor Born Night Detective (Drama) Frost (Drama) I could go on, but I have given you a big list already! LOL!

Been watching Dr Who. They’ll probably be showing the ‘End of Time’ next week, and the week after the new Doctor. I enjoy the show and am looking forward to the new season.

My son finally showed up. I have asked him to let me know when he’s gonna be out all night….not where he’s at or what he’s doing…..and he thought it was pretty silly of me. Well that famous phrase comes to mind: Just Wait Until You Have Children!

Well, I have to wrap up. I wanted to do some beading today, but I just couldn’t get into it. Dunno what’s with me today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Peace and Love……and Krispy Kreams on the table. Enjoy!

OH, HOW COULD I FORGET ‘ALLO ‘ALLO?

Dry, I just got my “Emma Peel” collection this week. I’ve already sneek-peeked the first disk. Awesome stuff. I’m planning on starting to watch the rest of them this hot & sticky summer.

They used to run The Avengers on one of my local PBS stations in Montreal. I haven’t seen it since on the tube.

(((((((yyyguy and family)))))))

I’m glad you had a nice time with your family at your Aunt’s birthday party. Congrats to your Aunt!

Dry, no not all of them, and yes there are some missing I’m sure. Minister, Yes Minister, Chef, ‘Allo ‘Allo & To The Manor Born were shows I were able to see while living in Dallas. Add to that, Keeping Up Appearances & the Vicar of Dibley. Haven’t seen the dramas, though.

I loved Secret Agent and I love all of the British Mysteries, like A Touch Of Frost and Prime Suspect.

Um, I used to watch Benny Hill. Ooh, I used to watch The Young Ones too!

Quaby So glad he showed up! I know what it is like to be a parent! And I know, that phrase! Their time is coming! THEN, MAYBE, THEY WILL APPRECIATE US. I know I did. I finally came to realize* what and why* my parents did what they did!

Carmy, I forgot about Benny Hill. That was always good for a good belly laugh or two.

Movie time.

Grog I forgot the Vicar of Dibley! That should fit our Shika girl! If you like dramas, you should check them out! And Robbie Coltrane in “Cracker”. I think you would really like that one!

What movie tonight, Cleo?

I meant to say earlier, I either walk into the middile of a movie, and since I did, no one will tell me what it’s about, so I have to “pick up the pieces” or else I fall asleep before it ends! LOL!

Dry as long as you don’t bring up Mr. Bean. I hated that show. Oddly enough, my uncle, who doesn’t watch TV, loved Mr. Bean. Go figure. The only movie he talks about is 12 Angry Men, which I do admittedly like.

Quaby, I’m sorry, I forgot to say that I am very happy that your son returned home also. Thank you so much for the Krispy Kremes!

Grog, I liked Mr. Bean. Did you ever watch The Kids in the Hall?

Never heard of it, Carmy.

My girls want me to watch The Invention of Lying with Ricky Gervais with them.

Grog, it was a comedy show. David Foley was in it.

Grog you never heard of Kids in the Hall? they’re a Canadian comedy troupe that had a series called “Four on the Floor” and are currently on the CBC (unless the series has ended) in a murder mystery spoof. I never watched them but they are apparently quite popular. Scot Thomson and Dave Foley are two of the five guys in it.

any how, up early in the moring means it’s bedtime now. thanks for the good wishes, and i’ll leave a little something in the karma bank as i leave. Happy Easter (or Happy Spring weather to those who prefer). (((Tribe)))

oh. and 12 Angry Men is a great movie! first time i watched it was on commercial TV and i didn’t switch away once during commercials for fear that i’d miss something. a great cast and a great story. now i’m gone (and no more Shika moves).

‘Fraid not yyyguy. I didn’t watch any “Canadian” content except for the news and Expos basball games at the time. Now I don’t watch much, if any primetime programming.

The one that threw me for a loop the first time I saw it was Witness For the Prosecution

Goodnight yyyguy! Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, **yyyguy

That’s a movie I have to watch tomorrow: The Easter Parade.

Grog, I don’t remember seeing that one. I do love Fred Astaire.

Carmy, I don’t know if it fits your schedule, but The Easter Parade is on tomorrow morning at 9AM on TCM. Maybe you can record it.

I am back all. Cracker was a good show and Coltraine is a great actor.

I like movies like “The Usual Suspects” and “The Spanish Prisoner.”

I just thought of an old Canadian series I really enjoyed called “The Beachcombers” with Bruno Gerussi. I loved that show.

Hey Cleo! How was your dinner and the movie? “The Usual Suspects” was a great movie, don’t think I ever saw “The Spanish Prisoner”. And yes, Coltrane is a great actor!

Cleo I may have started to watch the “Spanish Prisoner” and fallen asleep! LOL!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggggh!!!!

I HATED THAT SHOW!

That was back in the day when we ony got the 2 english Canadian TV channels in a Montreal Market. Sundays were never more boring - tube wise. And then my Dad got the outdoor antena that allowed snowy American signal into the house.

Dry the Spanish Prisoner had Steve Martin in a very unusual role for him.

So Grog. What did you think of the King Of Kensington?

By the way, glad that I touched a nerve. heh, heh!

:^P (rasberry) :^P (rasberry)

LOL

Ask me what I think of Corner Gas or Dawson’s Creek.

Grog What show, The Spanish Prisoner? Since I never saw it, I can’t comment.

Dry, Grog I believe is commenting on “The Beachcombers” which is Canada’s longest running TV show. The Spanish Prisoner had a similar thing going on as “The Usual Suspects” where you do not know what is what until the end of the movie.

The Beachcombers Dry. You are fortunate you never had to endure being held captive during the Sunday evening dinner hour as I was watching that bleepin bleep as I was. I wanted to pull a Calvin.

Another favorite of mine is “Memento”.

Cleo now I am curious. Steve Martin “in a very unusual role”?

Didn’t see that.

hello… a bit chatty today arint we??

Grog never ever heard of Corner Gas, heard of Dawson’s Creek but never watched it. Watch certain things, but not addicted to the tube per se! Addicited elsewhere, like here? Not a chance, who is saying that about me? ROFLMO!

But, having said that, the movies I watch over and over again are “Philadelphia Story”, “It Happened One Night”, “Some Like It Hot”, “The Seven Year Itch”, “The Thin Man”, “Christmas Story”, “Holiday Inn”, etc.

Memento is a movie that kind of begins at the end and works it’s way backwards, but it works very well.

Cleo Never heard of “Memento” Who was in it? Was it British, Canadian, ?

It’s been worse diffrent A little while ago we nearly got to 500 posts here.

Dry, Corner Gas was probably the best Canadian production I’ve seen. In fact, as much as I may dislike it, I might be happy to see it as compared to the current programming available to us now.

This one is going back, anyone remember the”Paul Hogan Show”?

cleo, I have all those movies except Christmas Story. Was that a Waltons movie?

Who’s Paul Hogan?

“Memento” starred Guy Pearce. I think you would enjoy it Dry.

Oh…and it was and is an American movie.

Grog, I can not believe that you have all these great movies and are not familiar with “A Christmas Story”. Rent it, it stars Darren McGaven and Peter Billinglsley. It, in my mind, is the best Christmas movie of all time.

OMG, GROG! You don’t know Paul Hogan? CROCIDILE DUNDEE? (Sorry, I just had such a crush on him back in the day and he was hilarious!) He got his start on Australian TV in a GREAT comedy show. It was on in the ‘80’s, then he made his first Crocodile Dundee movie. (and then a second, and as far as I know, hasen’t done Jack Sh** since! :-(

My favorite was Christmas In Connecticut. But I also thought very highly of Miracle On 34th Street & A Christmas Carol (with Alastair Sim).

You know Cleo I never saw that either, but Darren McGaven was an actor that I always enjoyed! And isn’t Peter Billingsley Barbara Billingsley’s grandson? Gee, how old would Peter be now?

Dry I was more into Indiana Jones. When I went to Arizona back in1998 (was still living in Montreal), I bought one of those cowboy hats that made me look like Indy. Then I got insulted by our Accounting Manager when she said I looked like Crocodile Dundee.

No Dry, I do not believe that they are related.

*WATCH A CHRISTMAS STORY. No more preaching, I know that you will like it.

I liked The Santa Claus.
