  1. I have a few: My shoe ornament, which is a carousel of shoes and heels displayed. It spins too My parents have this handblown maroon glass ornament that is a near perfect circle. We always hung it in a special spot so it wouldn't get broken. My bicycle ornament. My sister's was green, mine yellow. We always had to hang them on opposite sides of the tree.
  2. I can do white or multi as long as they are not blinking. Ornament wise, last year we had all red, gold, silver and black ball ornaments. Not really going for a theme though. It was our first big tree for my husband and I living together and I purchased all these ornament packages on clearance the year before. This year, we are starting to add more random, personalized ornaments that mean something to us. It takes a long time to build ones ornament collection!
  3. QUOTE (1 of the 7 @ Nov 5 2011, 10:17 PM) Most 80's New Wave/synth-rock and -pop, including all named above Roxette Some country 90's-era techno Various 90's pop like Sixpence None The Richer, that kinda stuff The Four Seasons The Bee Gees (yes, I like guys with high voices) ABBA Enya/Clannad I went to see K.C. and the Sunshine Band this summer, that probably counts These are just some of what I can think of off the top of my head... ...Then there are two (who I'm well over by now) that I'm far too embarrassed to admit I liked. I'll only own up if you can guess them. The only clue I'll give is that one once opened for the other at Saratoga in the early 90's when she was just becoming popular.

  4. I kinda LOL'd when they showed the nose-bleed audience shot right at the beginning of Freewill: They all immediately stood up like "HEYYY, I know this song!!!"
  5. Many libraries now designate quiet, semi-quiet and talking areas.

  8. QUOTE (circumstantial tree @ May 19 2011, 01:50 PM) QUOTE (briremo @ May 19 2011, 09:51 AM) A Legue of Their Own - AT the end when they open the museum I mentioned this movie earlier and yes, this is a touching scene, particularly when Dotty sees the picture of Jimmy Dugan (coach) and only then finds out he had died. Also, finding out a few others that had died over the years. And of course when Dottie and her sister share an embrace since they had been sibling rivals throughout the course of the movie. And the photo being taken of the "original Peaches" which slowly morphed into an old photo of them when they were starting the team. Looking back at my posts, I must find something heartfelt in dysfunctional families whose relationships are fixed by whatever plot the movie has them in. Also when the military guy comes in right before the game to have Jimmy deliver the message to Betty - that she just lost her husband in the war.

  12. QUOTE (ghostworks @ Jun 17 2011, 09:50 AM) and we'll end this particular triptych with the one that 'started it all' for me http://www.sixthseal.com/archive/February2006/the_macallan_scotch_whisky.jpg That's some swanky lookin' bar there, gw.
  13. Wow, I don't come here for a while and look what happens
  14. I see both sides of this issue. On the one hand, it is discouraging to see Rush fans on the board go on and on ad naseum about things they don't like. On the other hand, I respect the handful on here that show constructive criticism of our band because we hold them to the high standards we know they can be held to.
  15. QUOTE (GhostGirl @ Apr 29 2011, 01:51 PM) Kate's just so pretty and princess-ish, and William looks so proud, and they're both so sweet-looking and young The thing is for me, they are likeable. They don't come across as stuffy royals, like many of the others. They look genuinely HAPPY and that's a nice thing to see nowdays.
  16. QUOTE (GhostGirl @ Apr 29 2011, 01:31 PM) I couldn't resist, and took a peek at the BBC website. This quote in particular cracked me up: "According to a lip-reading expert, Prince William told his bride she looked 'beautiful' as she joined him at the altar and joked to his father-in-law Michael: 'We're supposed to have just a small family affair.'" I heard/read that too. Great!
  17. I had just enough time before leaving my house this morning to see Catherine walk down the aisle. Stunning. To all the cynics: Be quiet and deal with it! For once, something HAPPY in the news, no matter how blown out of proportion. sheesh.
  18. QUOTE (tick @ Apr 26 2011, 12:56 PM) I firmly believe public schools should have uniforms. I would back it 100% Too many kids get picked on because they wear K Mart or Walmart clothing because its all they're parents can afford. While others walk around in Abercrombie and Fitch and act like there shit don't shit because they're parents have money. Kids can be cruel little shits who deserve a good smack in the head for an attitude adjustment. Bring on school uniforms! By the way, My kid has nice clothes so this is not the reason for my feelings. I just feel horrible for kids who get picked on. I have felt deeply about it since I defended the kids who got picked on when I was a kid. I would gladly get into fist fights to defend other kids and I quite often did. You would think uniforms would get rid of this problem. Fact is (and I know this from 9 years of Catholic school, uniform-wearing experience), kids will find other reasons to pick on you: your coat, your lunch box, the car your family drives, etc. OR how you look in the uniforms themselves, which most of the time are unflattering lol. Sucks!
  19. She's looking good and strong!
  20. I need new running socks like mad!
  21. I polled in at professional but only becuase I work in a big law firm and the attorneys (along with management) are nearly required to wear suits and exercise careful judgement when meeting with clients. I work in their accounting department and along with the legal secretaries, we're more business casual. We have casual Fridays and casual summer, but no denim allowed. No leggings, even under a dress. The only time we wear jeans is if we have a charity day and we donate $5 to a charity to do so, but those are rare. I'd give anything to wear jeans on all Fridays and honestly, for non-attorneys, I wish we could.
  22. Idk, I mean, I thought it was a good idea.
  23. So effing pissed that I wasn't smart enough to figure out how to go! I really should have been there, total regret In any event, glad everyone had fun
