Ach! Now I feel like a rat. Sis just came in to ask if I would watch Dead Poets Society with her, and I said no. I never say no. Whatever she wants to watch, I just about always go along. But, I really didn't think I could handle DPS right now. Does that make me a terrible person? Especially since earlier this afternoon she actually watched an Engelbert video. Never thought I'd see the day! But I posted a concert version of "My Way" with the comment that IMO he leaves Sinatra in the dust. Sis actually conceded that Engelbert "isn't bad at all," high praise from her, but said she still likes Sinatra's version the best. Well, she's 'entitled to her opinion, misguided though I may think it. The main thing is, she gave Engelbert a chance. And now I've turned her down to watch the movie she wants to watch. Yep, I'm definitely a terrible person.
Mind you, I don't feel guilty enough to watch the movie...
This is totally off topic and unrelated to anything, but ....
Today as I was cleaning the bathroom I suddenly realized that every single house I've ever lived in has had one or both sides of the toilet so close to a wall or tub that you have to be a contortionist to clean it. (Wow, that's a long sentence!)
I wonder why they do that? Architects and builders, I mean.
Oh, Julie, I think you would love DPS. It was originally rated R due to subject matter, but has since been rerated PG. Robin Williams has a serious role and does it quite well. It may have been his first serious role.
Oh, puddle, I think you would love DPS. It was originally rated R due to subject matter, but was later rerated PG. I think it was Robin Williams' first serious role, and he did it quite well.
I figured out what you were referring to! LOL! (Gosh, last night was a looong time ago!)
I suspect that I'm the only newbie and the moderation must wait until Monday. Anyway, here's what I posted:

puddle, you know how little kids hold up fingers to show their age when somebody asks? After a certain age, if they ask, you only need to hold up one finger (and I'll bet you can guess which one). ;)
I think Howard would agree that Puddle is first today.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo, puddle! Happy Birthday and many, many more.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! Still thinking about this one. And wondering how I got to be 70 when I wuzn't lookin'. . . . .
ReplyDeleteIt's not what the calendar says, but how you feel.
ReplyDeleteOf course, most of the time I feel about a hundred and twelve, so it cuts both ways.

Never seen it, so can't vote on your wisdom, but standing up for what you want every now and again just feels so damn gooooooooooooooooooood!!!

Easy. Architects and builders don't clean toilets. Up to now anyways.
ReplyDeleteIt's related to that wrinkled surface for refrigerator doors, that make it twice as hard to clean. . . .
ReplyDeleteSpot on, puddle! LOL!
ReplyDeleteBe sure to refresh the front page. :-)
ReplyDeleteIs DPS on TV or did she rent it?

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!! ♥
ReplyDeletelistener, checking your link from last night: now has 8 comments, one from this afternoon. . . . Maybe they don't *like* yours? :(

listener, the pictures didn't come through. If you could send them again, one at a time, I could update the post.
I hear you, Susan. ♥
ReplyDeleteWe have a saying around our house:
"The one who scrubs the toilet gets into heaven first."
And you have hit upon why! LOL!
Still, any porcelain convenience is preferable to the outdoor version. ;-)
Will do. There's only one photo.
ReplyDeleteJust sent you a special email, puddle.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! ♥
Okay, I think it's time for a rousing rendition of that special tune...READY???

Christine O'Donnell cancels tomorrow's appearances on Face the Nation and Fox News
ReplyDeleteafter it is revealed she dabbled in witchcraft.
http://abcnews.go.com/News/christine-odonnell-dabbled-witchcraft/story?id=11671277
She owns it. I think this incarnation is a DVD. She wore out the VHS.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a fine movie, and Robin Williams is splendid in it. I just wasn't in the mood for teenage angst.
Well, I for one wouldn't want to be out in the middle of nowhere.
ReplyDeleteOMG, is there no end to these loons? And I'll bet it was *not* Wicca she was into, but the voodoo-type stuff.
ReplyDeleteYup. "Satanic Altar" indeed! What a mess of a person.
ReplyDeleteLL
ReplyDeleteFunny, it *showed* two. One wouldn't download AT ALL, and the other would only halfway. So somehow it duplicated itself, sort of, in flight. . . .
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
Yeah, you do have to be in the mood for it...!
ReplyDeleteEven with an Outhouse in the middle of somewhere, it's not so pleasant.
ReplyDelete{{{ ::: ROFLMEO!!! ::: }}}
ReplyDeleteRight. My good friend and coworker is Wiccan and definitely does not use a Satanic altar!
ReplyDeleteGoodness knows you've earned it, puddle!!!
ReplyDeleteI should have done that long ago.
Just be sure to proof if I haven't already.
Guard names and the names of medications...and certain places.
Thanks so much! ♥
