10:23 am
Sam

yes, for shooting an illegal, right?
10:24 am
momof3boys

yes..and the illegal now has immunity, the right to become a citizen here...and is suing us for $5 mill.. oh yeah..and it was the 2nd time he crossed the border, as well.... what is wrong with that picture?
10:24 am
Sam

things are the way they are because those in power want it that way. it comes from the top.

but that's the reason they are in the most trouble
10:25 am
momof3boys

gramma..the agents had no way of knowing he was unarmed...they need to defend themselves and act as if he was armed...
10:25 am
grammaterri1

I disagree with them being sentenced to life, but retraining for sure
10:26 am
Sam

cops don't get life for murdering unarmed Americans
10:26 am
grammaterri1

understand that, like I said I am not on the illegals side, I am on the agents side
10:26 am
momof3boys

they aren't sentenced for life..they are doing 12 to 13 years....and fyi..the border patrol policy, is 5 days without pay....
10:26 am

11:05 am
momof3boys

when you use lickety..how do you know which letter they are referring...i.e....they say se.. two words ... how do i know which se they are referring..the top set, or the bottom
11:05 am
Atalante

you dont :)
11:06 am
sherb

you don't mom...
11:06 am
momof3boys

aaahhh...the fine print...
11:06 am
momof3boys

ty...knew there was a catch!
11:08 am
Atalante

always ;)
11:08 am
hurshy

well, if you are talking between people who are using lickety's thing WITH BOXES, then, it automatically puts them in the right place for you, as i understand it. so, people who are both doing that, could know more and operate on that basis.
11:09 am
Atalante

does it find the words for you too??
11:09 am
hurshy

i have no opinion.
11:09 am
momof3boys

hursh...you need to be pro to see the tiles under the grid, right?? i think that is what you mean.. using them in addition to the list
11:09 am
sherb

and type them in?
11:09 am
hurshy

well the tiles on the grid are hardly necessary if you are using the boxes...
11:10 am
hurshy

i mean lickety's has two versions, the one where you put them in boxes, and the printable one.
11:10 am
momof3boys

so, if you have a word in the my word list, and forget to type it in lickety's list, you don't get "credit" for it, right...it still shows as if you are missing it....is that right?
11:10 am
hurshy

um, all that matters for credit for rankings is getting them in here. lickety's is irrelevant.
11:11 am
momof3boys

hhmmm...i have to check and see what you mean hursh..this is the first time i am using lick..and quite frankly, it intimidates me! lol
11:11 am
Atalante

dont use it then :P
11:11 am
hurshy

they are separate, if that's what you mean. entering it in one place does not enter it in the other.
11:11 am
hurshy

i have no opinion.
11:11 am
momof3boys

want to give it a fair try alt..everyone is always saying to use it...
11:12 am
sherb

I can't see the point of entering words in lickety... you just have to enter them again in Babble...
11:12 am
hurshy

and by "everyone" you mean the people who can state their opinion without fear of offending anyone.
11:12 am
hurshy

not that i have an opinion anyway.
11:12 am
Atalante

lol :) loads of people simply adore it
11:12 am
momof3boys

i am finding it useful to show what i need and what i have left..but i don't know if i am using it to it's full advantage

i kinda agree with you sherb!

i agree with that too sherb...that is why i am trying to make sure i am using it right..can't see what the big draw is..
11:13 am
momof3boys

hursh...KNOCK IT OFF!!! lol you know you have an opinion and aren't afraid to state it, and that is why we love you!
11:13 am

some people use it so they can play without having a bad score affecting their rankings
11:13 am
grammaterri1

which I have to do now cuz I am stuck with 20 left
11:14 am

lots of people just use it to see the list and work out which words they're missing... I find it really useful when I'm down to my last few words...

hi hurshy -- one great job resource is to look through the yellow pages and make a list of the places that seem like a good fit for your skills, and are also places you would feel comfy in (for example, non-profit vs. profit, private school vs. public). Then call up and ask for an informational interview - explain you are only exploring career opps in their field, not specific ones at their place. That opens doors like you wouldn't believe!
12:02 pm
hurshy

ok, what has built in variety.
12:02 pm
hurshy

they did recommend that on that website too, ch... maybe i will try that.
12:02 pm

hurshy - it's the people you work with that make a job fun, not what you do...
12:03 pm
Haz1558

Right, the judgemental bit is looking at people in Boston and deciding 'that's not for me' - just on the basis of what you perceive their lives to be like. The woolly bit is that you don't know what you want, only what you think you don't want. Time to make decisions.
12:03 pm

you might also want to find a life coach... i know it sounds hokey and new-agey, but a friend of mine used one, and it was a very good wxperience

Along with a life coach, you might want to look up a career counselor. You might find someone at a local college or university. The temp agency might be able to point you to someone in that field.

ch1212

An approach that helped me when I first arrived was to say, I'll explore different doors with an attitude of 1) NOT accepting the first offer and 2) NOT thinking that whatever job I land is the one I have to keep -- in other words, I won't commit to a job for years, but give myself permission to look for something else if I decide the first isn't what I wanted.

i know that i love solving problems, of all sorts - mechanical, mathematical, etc. i like to be creative. i don't want to work more than forty hours a week at a job, period, so i can't do what all my friends did and be a doctor or lawyer or consultant. and i don't love anything enough to bother getting a PhD in it.

hurshy that specific job is one I'm familar with. Creative, and rule-oriented is important, but a good grasp of family dynamics and knowledge of local resources is key, along with the ability to coordinate with other members of the eval team. Usually probation, schools, FST, DSS, and other service providers are included.

ch1212

that's okay if it has 'boring' in the list because again, you don't have to decide on a lifelong job right now. In fact, right now may be a terrible time to make a decision like that. Maybe it's okay to make a decision of, "this job looks interesting enough that I'll commit for one year, then reevaluate."
12:20 pm
Vicuna

All jobs are boring sometimes.
12:21 pm
hurshy

yes, one year is do-able.
12:21 pm

When my kids complain they're bored, I tell them that's a problem they have to solve.

i wonder if some of the difficulty is not only trying to find something that will be a good fit, but trying to deal with all those other HUGE life changing events that are going on with you right now. if i were you, i'd be tired of making any more big decisions!

A teacher friend was commenting on how many of his students are wanting to do forensic work. All on the basis of CSI making it look so glamorous, whereas the reality is probably completely different and yes, boring.

Of course, they're four, so they just give me a look and keep on whining...

hurshy - you're obsessing too much about what you'll be doing... try to think about the people you'll be with... they can make any job fun...
12:22 pm
ch1212

And dear hurshy, a huge gift would be accepting a job that won't overwhelm you while you spend the first year recovering your equilibrium from this huge change. So maybe a job that you could do blindfolded gives you a 'rest' in order to be gentle with yourself for awhile... just a thought.
12:22 pm
hurshy

yes feather, what's hard is that... i'm hoping to get to a point where i can support myself in not too long, so that i can move out.

It's fun to be open to new things, though. I walked into a radio station once to ask if they had an opening for a janitor or secretary. I wound up being hired to read news, then 10 years later I was hosting the morning show live. Then I applied for a job as a job search consultant (with no experience, again) and was hired for that! Loved it for 4 years. Then became a Project Director for a young offender program. (Again, no experience). And I have no formal education beyond the usual. So I'm just saying this as example of being open to risking and failing. I've had a blast and been lucky enough to be fairly successful. I suspect you would be too, Hurshy.

1:27 pm
hurshy

what does it say about me that i'd rather plan funerals than weddings?
1:27 pm
hurshy

i mean there are lots of other things i'd rather do than either. but given those two choices...
1:27 pm
stidmama

I have two left now Scrabbler: RI 5/6 combo poison; ri 4/7 to be full of something; ri 4/10 a musical passage, then the 6 is a water disturbance in a stream, the seven is plural, then plural the musical passage; then an unruly crowd; then a holy ceremony and it's plural... (guess I only miss one actually)
1:27 pm
Scrabbler

Hursh, have you ever looked at "What Color is Your Parachute?"
1:27 pm
hurshy

1:28 pm
hurshy

1:28 pm
Scrabbler

I had forgotten the plural of religious ceremony--so I am done with the R's
1:28 pm

1:49 pm
stidmama

now a word of advice: stidkid#1 (who doesn't feel pain as intensely as most people) once had a small cut on a heel that got badly infected. Because normally covered by sock and shoe we didn't notice until he spiked a fever and had a red streak up his leg. Not to worry you, just check that sucker every so often for a while!
1:50 pm
Cathyar

oooh...emergency tetanus shot?
1:50 pm
momof3boys

sounds like mine stid...my ex popped a q-tip through his eardrum, and we only knew because we saw blood on the towel
1:50 pm

momof3boys

steph..what ones are you missing?
1:52 pm
EspritdJean

cellulitis is a dangerous infection that can turn into osteomyelitis
1:52 pm
Scrabbler

cellulitis = tissue infection (redness, swelling, warmth, tenderness), and red-streak = lymphangitis
1:52 pm
stidmama

cellulitis is when the tissue is no longer confined to an identifiable location, it's sort of within all the muscles and stuff. The whole area gets hard and swollen but doesn't come to a head to drain
1:53 pm
stidmama

Another L and three P

Haz1558

So, torgone, how are you?
3:30 pm
hurshy

oh, it's a tor, on a sunday
3:30 pm
hurshy

i just emailed you.
3:30 pm
Haz1558

But he's not talking....
3:31 pm
hurshy

*blows on tor's ear*
3:31 pm
hurshy

*plays footsie under the babble table*
3:32 pm
Haz1558

I'm pretending not to care.
3:32 pm
hurshy

oh, did you want to fight over him some more?
3:32 pm
hurshy

i'm just trying to get him to talk...
3:32 pm
hurshy

then again, i spose that is not a good way to get a guy to TALK.
3:32 pm
Haz1558

No, I know when to give in.
3:33 pm
Haz1558

There's no competing with NANCY.
3:33 pm
hurshy

hmph.
3:33 pm
hurshy

so, are we the only ones here? and we're finished?
3:34 pm
Haz1558

I don't think we're the only ones here.
3:34 pm
hurshy

we appear to be.
3:34 pm
hurshy

hellooooo out there in babbleland (echo reverberates)
3:34 pm
Atalante

oooooooo Haz!
3:34 pm
hurshy

there's ata!
3:35 pm
Haz1558

Hello Atalante!
3:35 pm
hurshy

is it redundant to say that an echo reverberates?
3:35 pm
Haz1558

Not redundant exactly. You just couldn't say 'the echo' and leave it at that.
3:36 pm
hurshy

yeah, it was quite a pickle, deciding how to word that
3:36 pm
Atalante

haz! strange thing - Pakistan's cricket coach died this morning ...
3:36 pm
inge

I am sort of here, doing other stuff, but monitoring the chat
3:36 pm
Haz1558

Phone....
3:36 pm
hurshy

oh my
3:37 pm
hurshy

ata, i bought myself that pressie i'd been wanting. bought it yesterday.
3:37 pm
Atalante

:):):)
3:37 pm
Haz1558

Atalante - that's awful!
3:38 pm
Atalante

the Ireland players must feel awful! they dont know how he died yet, probably heart attack
3:38 pm
hurshy

so losing to ireland was such a shock it killed him?
3:39 pm
Atalante

it seems something along those lines. ish. maybe.
3:39 pm
Haz1558

Goodness, what an awful thing to happen - it'll spoil the victory celebrations for sure.
3:39 pm
Atalante

yeah :(:(:(:(
3:39 pm
hurshy

it's very... literary though
3:40 pm
Atalante

the match will certainly not be forgotten!
3:40 pm
hurshy

speaking of which, i have an idea for a novel - or at least novella
3:41 pm
Atalante

ooooooo
3:41 pm
hurshy

you know that kid we chaperoned in europe? it would be about him. fascinating character study.
3:42 pm
Atalante

oh interesting
3:42 pm
hurshy

yeah
3:42 pm
hurshy

he's completely amoral, but hides it from most everyone
3:43 pm
hurshy

sort of dorian gray esque, i suppose
3:44 pm
Atalante

cool!
3:44 pm
hurshy

he's so young though... should i just make up how he turns out, or wait and see and then write it.
3:44 pm
hurshy

lol
3:45 pm
hurshy

nothing like a good excuse for procrastination.
3:45 pm
Atalante

make it up, then see how right youwere!
3:45 pm
Haz1558

Maybe that's how torgone began.
3:45 pm
hurshy

LOL haz
3:46 pm
hurshy

i finished anna k, btw. don't know why everyone says it is a sad book.
3:46 pm
hurshy

now i'm reading trollope's "the warden"
3:46 pm
Atalante

*love* that book
3:46 pm
Haz1558

Oh, you are in for a treat if you read the whole Barchester Chronicles series. I love them.
3:46 pm
hurshy

i did seem to recall that you were a trollope fan
3:47 pm
hurshy

yes, i know we have the second one as well.
3:47 pm
Jeff7

fi 5/18 & 6/30 please
3:47 pm
Atalante

me too
3:47 pm
Haz1558

I think he's wonderful - the political novels are excelllent reading as well.
3:47 pm
Atalante

they are wonderful wonderful wonderful books
3:48 pm
hurshy

i'm supplementing it with some non-fiction. right now i'm in "the shia revival" - about inter-islamic conflicts and how they are shaping and will shape the middle east.
3:48 pm
hurshy

fi5/18 like ri5/12
3:48 pm
Haz1558

There's a brilliant adaptation by the BBC starring people like Alan Rickman as Mr Slope, Geraldine McEwan as Mrs Proudie, Susan Hampshire etc etc. Worth searchihg for.
3:48 pm
Vicuna

Hello, again, Regulars.
3:48 pm
hurshy

oh, love alan rickman, of course!
3:49 pm
Jeff7

ty
3:49 pm
hurshy

these new marples with geraldine mcewan, gosh, though, they changed way too much from the books!
3:49 pm
Haz1558

He manages to make you loathe him in this.....
3:49 pm
hurshy

well, he does play a lot of good villians...
3:50 pm
hurshy

vi, so did you see i just said i finished anna k - about a week or two ago... ready to discuss?
3:50 pm
Haz1558

I can't be doing with the new Miss Marple. Joan Hickson was just perfect for the role. Geraldine McEwan is a brilliant actress, but not right for the part.
3:50 pm
hurshy

and they made her have had an affair!! MISS MARPLE!!!
3:50 pm
Vicuna

lol! After reading the "short synopsis" which was about 10 pages long, I remembered why I didn't like it.
3:50 pm
Vicuna

Miss Marple having an affair? That's just stupid.
3:51 pm
Haz1558

Just ridiculous!
3:51 pm
hurshy

there is a woman who is a greeter at our walmart who would make a fabulous miss marple.
3:51 pm
hurshy

I KNOW! they clearly had some agendas. made a lot of things about gay love affairs, too.
3:51 pm
Vicuna

Then don't ever try shoplifting with her around, eh?
3:51 pm
Haz1558

Hurshy, have you ever read the Mapp and Lucia books by E F Benson? They are hilarious and I think you would appreciate the Englishness of them.
3:53 pm
Vicuna

That was made into a TV series, too, wasn't it?
3:53 pm
Haz1558

It was - in the 80's I think - Geraldine McEwan again, Prunella Scales and Nigel Hawthorne. But the books are a joy.
3:54 pm
hurshy

i shall endeavor to check out these benson books.
3:54 pm
Vicuna

I'll check those out, then.
3:54 pm
hurshy

are they as funny as wodehouse?
3:54 pm
Haz1558

Wodehouse is in a class of his own, but they make me laugh out loud as well.
3:55 pm
hurshy

vi - i just cannot understand why you don't like anna k. i loved every bit of it. and it is NOT a sad book, it is exactly half sad and half happy.
3:55 pm
hurshy

anna's life goes on a downward trend, but levin's goes on an upward one.
3:56 pm
Vicuna

No, it wasn't the sadness, it was the time spent agonizing!
3:56 pm
hurshy

ah, well, you can see how *i* would identify with that!
3:56 pm
torgone

Did I see someone taking my name in vain (vein? vane?)
3:56 pm
Haz1558

He lives!
3:56 pm
hurshy

no, nobody has been talking about you at all...
3:57 pm
Vicuna

But really what's amazing to me is how forgettable I found it. Usually literature really sticks with me. Poor Tolstoy should be really offended!
3:57 pm
torgone

Oh okay . .I'll go back to washing dishes ..
3:57 pm
hurshy

well i'm offended for him. i think it's one of the best books ever.
3:57 pm
Vicuna

Well, glad you enjoyed it, anyway. It's always a Good Thing to find a book you like.
3:58 pm
hurshy

yes :)
3:58 pm
Haz1558

Have you ever read Madame Bovary? There's a heroine you'd want to slap.
3:58 pm
Vicuna

I just had trouble caring about the characters, I guess. I figured, if they want to spend their time wallowing around, that's fine, but why do I have to spend my time reading about it!
3:58 pm
hurshy

lol
3:59 pm
hurshy

i cared about all of them... had a lot of trouble deciding who i identified with the most!
3:59 pm
Vicuna

lol. Well, I suppose you're with the majority on this one!
3:59 pm
jaa1169

clues! i need clues!!!!!!
3:59 pm
hurshy

ahem. what sort of clues?
4:00 pm
Vicuna

And slapping books doesn't ever give much satisfaction.
4:00 pm
jaa1169

fe 5/16
4:00 pm
hurshy

MAN, i love classic novels. dickens, austen, eliot, bronte, wharton... it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy just thinking about these books' existence.
4:01 pm
hurshy

fe + the babbler with the red icon that we were NOT talking about at all.
4:01 pm
torgone

A bad smell . .
4:01 pm
hurshy

there he is.
4:01 pm
hurshy

tor i sent you email.
4:01 pm
Vicuna

So, torgone, you seem to have really riled these ladies up!
4:01 pm
Haz1558

I also like Wilkie Collins - forerunner of the modern detective novel 'The Moonstone'.
4:02 pm
Vicuna

Oh yes, I liked The Moonstone and the Woman in White.
4:02 pm
mousey

hiya all
4:02 pm
hurshy

oh yes, i've heard about wilkie collins.
4:02 pm
torgone

Speaking of novels . .
4:02 pm
hurshy

as good as agatha christie?
4:02 pm
hurshy

i loved the MOUSEtrap when i saw it this summer...
4:02 pm
hurshy

dorothy sayers is the best, of course.
4:02 pm
Vicuna

Different. Agatha Christie is all about the puzzle. Collins is all about the atmosphere.
4:03 pm
Haz1558

He's really good, lots of plots and counter-plots. And much better written than Agatha.
4:03 pm
hurshy

well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me mr. torgone sir.
4:03 pm
Vicuna

YAY DOROTHY SAYERS!
4:03 pm
torgone

I tend to do that just by showing up, vic .. Not sure how . . .
4:03 pm
mousey

MOUSETRAP?!?!
4:03 pm
hurshy

:)
4:03 pm
Haz1558

Another favourite 'detective' writer, combining history and sleuthing is Ellis Peters, with the Brother Cadfael series.
4:03 pm
Vicuna

I guess it's just your powerful charisma, tor. What a burden.
4:03 pm
mousey

eeek!
4:03 pm
hurshy

i love the bit in "have his carcase" about how harriet buys the claret colored frock
4:03 pm
Vicuna

Yes, I liked those, too, Haz.
4:03 pm
torgone

jk hurshy . .one to savor . .
4:04 pm
diem

Hursh mousetrap STILL running?
4:04 pm
hurshy

hmph
4:04 pm
Haz1558

I think she evokes the atmosphere beautifully.
4:04 pm
hurshy

yep, going strong diem
4:04 pm
hurshy

luckily for me
4:04 pm
hurshy

not so lucky for mousey
4:05 pm
hurshy

have noted down these authors :)
4:05 pm
Vicuna

I long to live in a world where people talk like so wittily.
4:05 pm
Haz1558

The Brother Cadfael novels are set in mediaeval Shrewsbury.
4:06 pm
hurshy

it's odd though, vi, wittiness works so much better in books. on TV, it comes across as very fake, so i think it probably would in real life too.
4:06 pm
Vicuna

(See, I'm not even witty enough to say what I meant correctly. Bllgh.)
4:06 pm
Vicuna

Perhaps. In which case, maybe I should become a book.
4:06 pm
hurshy

the few times i saw dawson's creek it drove me NUTS that way - NOBODY TALKS LIKE THAT, esp not teenagers, most of whom aren't even supposed to be particularly smart.
4:06 pm
hurshy

ooh, i'll become one with you.
4:07 pm
Vicuna

Oh no you don't... Not if you're going to be like Anna K! lol
4:07 pm
hurshy

you can be the comic relief
4:07 pm
Vicuna

Thanks. I think.
4:08 pm
Vicuna

Let's see, combine Wodehouse and Tolstoy, and what do you get?
4:08 pm
hurshy

something very weird...
4:08 pm
torgone

Tolhouse cookies?
4:08 pm
hurshy

we could become a less intense poirot or lord peter story - one with just theft instead of murder...
4:08 pm
hurshy

ohhhhhh tor
4:09 pm
Vicuna

mmmm.... cookies...
4:09 pm
Haz1558

I tried to get my daughter to read P G Wodehouse, but she couldn't get into it at all. I've obviously failed as a mother.
4:09 pm
Vicuna

Yes, that sounds good, hurshy. I trust neither of us will be forced to be either the culprit or the victim.
4:10 pm
hurshy

don't feel too bad haz. my little sister doesn't like to read AT ALL.
4:10 pm
hurshy

no, we'll be the kids who get all excited about having a REAL MYSTERY in the house.
4:10 pm
Vicuna

Oh, condolences, Haz.
4:11 pm
Haz1558

But that's the thing - she is a voracious reader. She just couldn't transport herself into the world he creates.
4:11 pm
hurshy

well, when i first read a wodehouse, in college, i liked it ok, but didn't totally... get there... and then later i did, so maybe there is still hope.
4:12 pm
Vicuna

Well, I don't exactly read Wodehouse for immersion in that world. It's his narration that's the point of it all.
4:12 pm
hurshy

i just love when he does things like "the b. and e." for bacon and eggs. cracks me up every time.
4:12 pm
Haz1558

Maybe - he just writes so perfectly that you sigh and think 'genius'.
4:13 pm
Vicuna

Yeah. He's full of "I wish I'd thought of that" moments.
4:14 pm
hurshy

i have to try to get hold of the hugh laurie as bertie wooster videos
4:15 pm
Vicuna

Dr Seuss uses "glup" and Carrol uses "toves." Why, oh why, can't Enable?
4:15 pm
Vicuna

Hugh Laurie's very good as Bertie.
4:15 pm
hurshy

i hope the library has them
4:16 pm
hurshy

i'm sure stephen fry makes a good jeeves, only to me, jeeves ought to be thinner.
4:17 pm
hurshy

or shorter or something. i dunno. not so large overall.
4:17 pm
Haz1558

Stephen Fry has the most beautiful speaking voice but he doesn't quite do it for me as Jeeves. It's difficult to top the original novels, of course.
4:17 pm
Vicuna

Yes. He's pretty good, but didn't seem quite right to me, either, somehow.
4:18 pm
hurshy

i felt the same about gilbert in the anne movies. thought he should have had a thinner face.
4:19 pm
Haz1558

Was this the Anne series with Colleen Dewhurst? and Megan somebody in the Anne role?
4:19 pm
hurshy

i was telling the jeweler yesterday about anne thinking diamonds were purple and being disappointed when she saw a real one, and he was like, oh, i haven't read those, and i was like, well, you wouldn't have... they're mostly girl books...
4:19 pm
hurshy

yes haz. colleen dewhurst was very good. :)
4:19 pm
hurshy

and richard farnsworth, such a sweet matthew.
4:20 pm
dicktrickle

i'm missing a p4....how many are there?
4:20 pm
Haz1558

The early ones were good (in the video series) but they messed around with the plot to a terrible degree in later ones. It became almost unrecognisable in the end.
4:20 pm
hurshy

lol
4:20 pm
Vicuna

I watched the beginning of the series, and lost interest as they dragged it on.
4:20 pm
hurshy

if you know you're missing a P4, don't you know how many there are?
4:20 pm
dicktrickle

i mean pe, pl, pu...
4:21 pm
Haz1558

Yes, Matthew was perfect - his death produced the inevitable tears even though I've been mourning him regularly for years.
4:21 pm
hurshy

yes, i quite agree haz. the first one is as faithful as any movie can be, the second mixes elements from at least 3 books, the third is just complete made up hogwash.
4:21 pm
hurshy

you prob want pf4
4:21 pm
Vicuna

lol, Haz. I mean, not to laugh at sorrow or anything...
4:21 pm
dicktrickle

thanks....and that's what i'm saying right now
4:21 pm
hurshy

i always cry when matthew dies too!
4:22 pm
hurshy

and walter...
4:22 pm
Haz1558

So why did they do it? Why start something so well and then make a pig's ear of the rest of it?
4:22 pm
dicktrickle

done
4:22 pm
Vicuna

I'm a veritable fountain when reading. I ought to put all my books under clear plastic while I'm reading.
4:22 pm
Haz1558

And that dog sitting at the railway station for years.
4:23 pm
Haz1558

Little Women - Beth's death. Sodden pages.
4:23 pm
hurshy

well get this, haz, the prodoucer claimed that they'd set the first movie later than the book was set (um, how exactly did that get indicated???), and therefore, the war came around when anne was younger... go figure.
4:23 pm
Vicuna

They did that with the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series, too. Started out wonderfully faithful, and then started making stuff up randomly.
4:23 pm
hurshy

they practically turned her into macgyver! it was SO ridiculous.
4:23 pm
Haz1558

He was just making excuses - the beginning was 'timeless'.
4:24 pm
hurshy

rupert everett was a pretty good holmes in that recent one.
4:24 pm
Vicuna

I didn't see that.
4:25 pm
hurshy

he definitely captures the darker side of holmes better than some other holmeses. the cocaine, the ups and downs between boredom and ... HEY
4:25 pm
hurshy

i just realized that house is a lot like holmes. was that intentional?
4:25 pm
torgone

Duh . .
4:26 pm
hurshy

well sorry, some of us are a little slow.
4:26 pm
Haz1558

Have I not heard on the grapevine that House becomes a new person - all cheery and concerned?
4:26 pm
torgone

KIDDING . . .
4:26 pm
hurshy

LOL, i doubt that haz, they've got to know that people watch house cause of the way he is
4:26 pm
Haz1558

Cheery about himself, concerned about his patients, I mean.
4:27 pm
hurshy

oh, KIDDING. *cough*.
4:27 pm
Vicuna

Wait, hurshy, weren't we just discussing how they take shows that start off well, and then mess them up?
4:27 pm
hurshy

well i have noticed no such trend as yet.
4:27 pm
hurshy

yes but those are usually TV movies, not regular TV series.
4:27 pm
Haz1558

But was he not shot or something, thereby precipitating a personality change? I don't watch it so am not aware of all the ins and outs.
4:28 pm
hurshy

although there is that whole "jump the shark" website...
4:28 pm
hurshy

he was shot
4:28 pm
hurshy

but, it did not really change him
4:28 pm
hurshy

in fact, it was so funny, cuddy had the carpet replaced, cause it was stained with blood from his bullet wound, and he demanded that she put it back.
4:28 pm
Haz1558

Okay, I must have misunderstood. I was thinking it would put hurshy right off if he was nice.
4:29 pm
hurshy

he's not not nice, really... he's just honest... like simon cowell...
4:30 pm
hurshy

i wonder if he and cuddy...
4:30 pm
Enomis65

hello babblers, how goes the battle?
4:30 pm
hurshy

i dunno, it's hard for me to picture exactly what type of woman would really go with house.
4:30 pm
Haz1558

I usually agree with Simon Cowell's estimation of artists. Why pander to vanity?
4:30 pm
hurshy

there's no battle today, enomis. more of a thumb-wrestle.
4:30 pm
hurshy

EXACTLY, haz.
4:31 pm
Vicuna

Hello, Enomis.
4:32 pm
Haz1558

Enomis, good afternoon!
4:33 pm
hurshy

hooooooooow MUCH is that kitten in the window? the one with the crook in his tail? how MUCH is that kitten in the window? i do hope that kitten's for sale...
4:34 pm
Vicuna

You should get your kittens from the pound, hursh.
4:34 pm
periwinkle

Hi everyone, what is the topic of discussion?
4:34 pm
hurshy

i got 2 of them from a shelter, one from a family.
4:34 pm
periwinkle

We ranged broadly over literature, peri, then entered television (by way of TV adaptations of literature) and have recently veered into kittens.
