12:30 am

Glantarell

12:30 am

Glantarell

has there ever been a grid this small?

12:30 am

hootowl

ty - I get to bed early for a change!

12:30 am

hootowl

i think this is it

12:30 am

hootowl

I remeber a 34/35 once

12:32 am

hootowl

I started late

12:32 am

jillibus

ad5/24 and in5/26 have me stumped. Pugs said earlier that there were 2 beastly words -- I guess those are the ones.

12:32 am

joshuavorbis

sheesh, not a lot of resistance on that one

12:32 am

Glantarell

fireworks

12:32 am

joshuavorbis

they end the same way jilli

12:33 am

hootowl

yep - but both finish with the same last 3 letters. Count the points

12:33 am

Glantarell

what do you do to a cake when you have all the ingredients in a bowl jilli?

12:33 am

helensgirlkid

Lickety says a grid of 30 words is the smallest

12:33 am

jillibus

well done, finishers -- I can't keep up with you!

12:33 am

jillibus

Thanks, helensgirlkid!

12:33 am

hootowl

ok - must have been one I missed on vacation or before I started

12:34 am

Glantarell

well i got up this fine saturday thinking the grid would keep me busy for at least an hour - 12 minutes doesn't cut it LOL

12:35 am

jillibus

flosey -- love your icon caption -- and thanks for the link in your profile to your son's musical bit.

12:35 am

hootowl

And now off to bed. It's a heck of a lot cooler in the bedroom than here! Good night all.

12:35 am

Glantarell

so i will go and enjoy the good weather we have predicted for the day - the first good weather this week

12:35 am

jillibus

gnight hoot

12:35 am

broll

There was a 25 word grid before Lickety started, but I seem to have disappeared the scrap of paper I had with the date on it.

12:37 am

jillibus

great to hear from a real old-timer, broll!

12:38 am

broll

It was before I started, too. But I spend a lot of time in the Archives, looking for odd words.

12:40 am

dcseain

hello, jilli, broll, glantarell, et al.

12:40 am

dcseain

oh, wow. i have 24 words already! How'd that happen.

12:40 am

jillibus

hi dc!

12:40 am

jillibus

fw here, finally

12:41 am

jillibus

broll, that's really doing research!

12:41 am

dcseain

it hit 102-106F here today. that's 38-41C

12:41 am

dcseain

congrats, jilli!

12:42 am

jillibus

phew re the heat, dc. Is that's what's wrong with the gov't talks? Fried brains?

12:43 am

jillibus

those popsicles look delish!

12:44 am

dcseain

Um, i will refrain from stating my full-out opinion of Tea Partiers, neo-con R and Keynesian economics beyond i think they're all foolish and/or foolhardy

12:45 am

dcseain

don't they! A friend in Spain posted them, and it was hot, and yum fruit :)

12:45 am

broll

And then I put those words in an alphabetized list. I'd never finish without Lickety and my word lists! (except on easy puzzles like today)

12:46 am

jillibus

broll -- do you ever use morewords? that's my last resort.

12:46 am

dcseain

goodness, what work, broll. I also use morewords when i'm at a loss.

12:47 am

mrpresident

hi all :))

12:47 am

flosey

hi everyone

12:47 am

mrpresident

i use a2z jilli... find it easy as it is in babble expert resources anyway

12:48 am

jillibus

do you know the morewords shortcut, dc? Some time ago Gremlinn gave a very useful hint about using morewords -- type a ^ into its box and then the letters which are missing from the grid. Copy it (Ctrl + C). Then when you go to morewords, enter the first 2 letters and a - for the rest of the letters needed. Paste (Ctrl + V). Hit Enter and the list will be much shorter. Saves time.

12:48 am

jillibus

Morewords is also in Resources, and using that shortcut is much easier than a2z

12:49 am

jillibus

hi mrp

12:49 am

mrpresident

hey jilli! ((hugs))

12:50 am

jillibus

hi again flosey -- love your icon giggle

12:50 am

mrpresident

thought I would give the puss a rest and put the melon on my head!

12:50 am

broll

29 words on Aug. 23, 2004, 25 words on June 12, 2004. My computer (and myself) is so slow, it is a lot easier for me to refer to the list.

12:51 am

jillibus

oh mrp -- I hadn't seen your new icon, lol!

12:52 am

dcseain

That's adorable, mrp!

12:52 am

mrpresident

hehehe!! thanks!

12:52 am

flosey

thanks jilli, was just reading back - Son is going to create a video deleting the sound (high winds were very noisy)and scanning the trip up and around the top, then add just the music

12:52 am

jillibus

thanks, broll!

12:53 am

dcseain

yes, jilli, i make good use of morewords' shortcuts and wildcards

12:53 am

dcseain

12:54 am

flosey

12:54 am

jillibus

12:55 am

mrpresident

12:55 am

mrpresident

12:56 am

flosey

1:02 am

mrpresident

dcseain

1:02 am

flosey

of course you could mrp

1:02 am

mrpresident

I have no concept of the rules... but understand it is a club and very social

1:02 am

dcseain

oh yes, mrp

1:03 am

dcseain

the basics are not difficult.

1:03 am

mrpresident

can I be taught online?? or is it a face to face teaching?

1:03 am

flosey

your local newspaper probably runs a column?

1:03 am

flosey

better face to face

1:03 am

mrpresident

I have only ever seen 4 people playing

1:03 am

flosey

you need 4 players

1:03 am

dcseain

playing online you can get the basic mechanics

1:03 am

mrpresident

ok, so need to find a group

1:04 am

dcseain

live playing teaches you strategy and subtleties that online does not

1:04 am

m9f9l

1/2way now. LOL

1:04 am

mrpresident

ok, will have to try and find a local friend that plays

1:04 am

1:05 am

m9f9l

flosey

1:05 am

dcseain

1:06 am

mrpresident

I might try and find an online teacher... one who can teach strategy

1:06 am

m9f9l

have you read that one? bellwether?

1:06 am

m9f9l

they are a fun read

1:07 am

flosey

mrp, Audrey Grant has written some excellent books on bridge, you might find them in your library

2:39 am

stidmama

in fact, today was one of the first mostly sunny days we have had this calendar year. About two weeks' worth of mostly sunny days so far since January.

2:40 am

Kazzer99

congrats Miss - good luck with the house move

2:40 am

stidmama

I am trying so hard to NOT complain, given what it's like for others, but I do wish my fruit-bearing plants had some sun to become sweet on!

2:40 am

Kazzer99

we have had some terrible days mixed with lovely ones but not very many together

2:40 am

stidmama

good luck MissO -- hope all goes smoothly for you!

2:41 am

Kazzer99

yes everything here is confused - the rhubarb failed miserably - not enough rain at the right time so its gone dormant

2:41 am

stidmama

anyway, it's nearly 1 am here and I have many things I would like to get done tomorrow.

2:42 am

stidmama

exactly, Kazzer. the only really happy things are the molds and the willows and other water-loving plants.

2:42 am

stidmama

anyway, hope the rest of your weekend will go well. ((hugs)) *poof*

2:42 am

Kazzer99

12:18 pm

should be quite doable with lickety, ruby

12:18 pm

uusue2

and hi to you and crossy!!

if i can finish it,you most certainly can ruby

12:18 pm

we are roasting again today sue..39c with humidex

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

I've missed everybody when I couldn't connect for more than a week. And I still get my husband's "sans fil" connected

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

can't get*

12:20 pm

uusue2

unfortunately there was 6-8" of rain in chicago and suburbs and things are pretty messed up

12:21 pm

mcurlschool

we here on the pac NW coast actually have sun today--woot woot!!!!

12:21 pm

uusue2

yeah, our wireless router needs replacing, I think - the signal is really weak unless you are right next to it

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

we're having a big storm now and it's rained some most days, but France has been too dry this year, so it's OK with me

12:21 pm

crosshair

yes ladies,update your router every 2 years max

12:21 pm

crosshair

you rent them,they will send you the latest greatest model free

12:22 pm

uusue2

we had been very hot and dry for a while too (after floods in the spring) so the rain was welcome (although 8" is a bit much) (that's 20cm)

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

we replaced it but I couldn't install it properly and neither could the technician (not free!) they sent. Now, another tech guy said we needed a WiFi key which we got today and I still can't install it

12:22 pm

uusue2

I need to check with comcast and see who owns this router - I suspect it is them

12:22 pm

crosshair

if it is them sue..ask for new one

12:22 pm

crosshair

poor ruby:(

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

yes, they replaced the first one free but we had to pay for the key thingie (no big deal). Unfortunately the phone company's tech guy left me with cables 3 M long, reaching across the hallway and across a doorway!

12:23 pm

uusue2

that's my plan - we've had this one for probably 7 or 8 years now

12:23 pm

crosshair

you may need to set up a new wi-fi net connexion in control panel

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

I wish my husband would get an independent computer that he could plug into the wall!

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

all i can say is thank God for the Tour de France which filled my time this past week or I would have gone totally bonkers!

12:25 pm

crosshair

set up new connexion using your new wi-fi key my dear

12:26 pm

crosshair

you will see it in control panel

12:26 pm

crosshair

under internet options

12:27 pm

crosshair

hit connecions tab,then set up

12:27 pm

crosshair

you isp can walk you through it from that point on the telephone

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

9 words left

12:28 pm

crosshair

ok,crossy will shut up now

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

one of the problems is doing all this stuff in French, plus all the instructions both by phone and in person are also

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

I can't get the Wifi key to register

12:29 pm

crosshair

follow my promts then and it will ask fist for your email addy that the provider gave you ruby@stuid isp.com,then your new pass word

12:30 pm

crosshair

would help if i could type lol

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

I appreciate your trying to help me, crossy, but I feel really stupid in this situation

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

do I do that at DH's compputer or mine?

12:30 pm

crosshair

if hubbys computer is close to the wi-fi box,you can plug him in direct if you wish to

12:31 pm

crosshair

on his

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

no, he's 2 floors away!

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

that's always been the problem, but we had it working with the old Livebox-WiFi thing

12:31 pm

crosshair

ahh then the new configuration has to be done on his

12:49 pm

crosshair

my wife gets that way too,gets all in a hurry,trying this and that at randon to fix a computer problem.i just let her stew for a week or so till she is ready to let me do it the way i like and at the speed i like and things usually work out:)

12:52 pm

crosshair

i am a very deliberate person and will look at a problem or a project for as long as i feel i need to before i make my move as it were lol.took me 8 months to paint the bed room,but when i did get to it i did it is a grand seafoam green with a stencil of cucumber green ivy leaves across the top two feet of the wall and trailing down the sides of the window and around the head board of the bed and did the window sill and trim in bone white..she loves it

12:53 pm

uusue2

12:53 pm

crosshair

uusue2

12:55 pm

crosshair

12:56 pm

uusue2

12:56 pm

uusue2

12:57 pm

crosshair

1:12 pm

uusue2

I know, brid, they just won't tell me which one they would send if I were to order a new one.

1:13 pm

brid

heh, gotta love them. (love being the substituted word)

1:14 pm

uusue2

Indeed.

1:15 pm

brid

i own my own modem, i don't rent from them any more. Either way has its pros and cons.

1:16 pm

JenMO16

only 32, geez......

1:17 pm

JenMO16

and it is Saturday!

1:17 pm

uusue2

Well, if I can get a nice new (and better) one from them for free, why not? (my budget is incredibly tight these days). But I can't see paying even the $10 shipping fee if they can't tell me that they at least aren't going to send me the same one I already have.

1:17 pm

uusue2

Indeed, jen! Not too many people hanging around today...

1:31 pm

monkeeboi

just a lil in the basement. last year was way worse, took 2 and a half feet. It was ten minutes of cleaning this morning.

1:32 pm

uusue2

not bad :-)

1:32 pm

uusue2

our rain barrels are full and we are definitely enjoying the cooler weather

1:33 pm

monkeeboi

1:35 pm

JenMO16

1:35 pm

JenMO16

<<<<<< three carloads of rescues transported this morning -- on their way to homes in Minnesota from shelter in Georgia :-)

2:05 pm

redturtlehead

I want to ask Dr God to flip this thing early!

2:06 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, red :-)

2:06 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Une

2:06 pm

redturtlehead

Love the puppies in your picture!

2:08 pm

Uneaixoise

they were soooo cute -- shelter didn't send them in a crate so we had to box them for the front seat -- heads kept popping up and peeking :-)

2:08 pm

Scrabbler

32 words!? Smallest grid that I have ever seen.

2:08 pm

Uneaixoise

me too, scrabs

2:09 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, yes, very cute puppies, Une. TY for rescuing dogs.

2:09 pm

Uneaixoise

puppies in front seat -- lab and mastiff/pittie in backseat :-)

2:10 pm

Uneaixoise

all headed to forever homes in Minnesota :-)

2:10 pm

LeslieAnn

hey unea are you on FB?

2:10 pm

Scrabbler

How far did you drive with them?

2:10 pm

Uneaixoise

one leg -- 70 miles

2:11 pm

Uneaixoise

yes, leslieann

2:12 pm

LeslieAnn

I put my FB name in my profile. Friend me, I work with some rescues in GA also. may be able to help each other :)

2:12 pm

Scrabbler

Yay for networking.

2:13 pm

Uneaixoise

indeed, scrabbs!

2:14 pm

Uneaixoise

Leslieann, I work with several organizers -- today's group works to transport from a shelter in Americus, GA to various location -- almost always north or northeast :-)

2:15 pm

Uneaixoise

today was a BIG group -- 3 cars, 14 dogs :-)

2:15 pm

Scrabbler

I have considered doing rabbit rescue transports.

2:16 pm

Uneaixoise

how cool, scrabbs!

2:16 pm

Scrabbler

There is a network in NY state.

2:16 pm

Uneaixoise

interesting -- never thought of a bunny rescue but it certainly makes sense

2:16 pm

LeslieAnn

is that se pet railroad?

2:17 pm

Uneaixoise

today's run was out of Americus via www.mobile-mutts.blogspot.com

2:17 pm

Scrabbler

People lose interest in a rabbit and leave it outdoors to fend for itself. Domestic rabbits do not last long in the wild. Neither do wild rabbits actually.

2:18 pm

Uneaixoise

aaawwww :-(

2:18 pm

LeslieAnn

oh ok. that sucks scrabs. plus the number of idiots who think rabbits would make a good easter present and then realize a week later that it was more work than they thought

2:18 pm

Scrabbler

The reality is that rabbits are prey animals.

2:19 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Easter rejects.

2:19 pm

Uneaixoise

my ex's daughter who picks up donated food at Whole Foods with me on Sundays works with Walden's Puddle, near Nashville

2:19 pm

Uneaixoise

it's a rescue for all kinds of native injured/sick animals

2:20 pm

Uneaixoise

I' pick up for our soup kitchen and she picks up for bunnies, deer, fawns, racoon, squirrels, etc. -- they eat WELL! :-)

2:21 pm

LeslieAnn

that's great unea. Also good on Whole Foods for taking the time to donate that food instead of throwing it away

2:21 pm

Uneaixoise

LeslieAnn, our local WF lets me pick up a big carload 3 days a week :-)

2:21 pm

Uneaixoise

it's an arrangement that's evolved over the last 3 years . . .

2:23 pm

Uneaixoise

would be nice if it were corporate policy, eh?

2:24 pm

LeslieAnn

indeed. i did see a change.org petition the other day to pressure trader joe's to make it corporate policy

2:25 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

2:25 pm

LeslieAnn

rader-joes-to-stop-wasting-food

2:26 pm

2:30 pm

jmcnrick

2:31 pm

Uneaixoise

2:31 pm

uusue2

didn't get kid to train, we got half way there and he realized he'd forgotten his headphones (without which travel is apparently impossible) so he will take the 4:25 train

2:31 pm

uusue2

sigh

2:31 pm

Scrabbler

Got it.

2:31 pm

Uneaixoise

*terrible

2:31 pm

2:31 pm

uusue2

2:33 pm

uusue2

2:33 pm

Scrabbler

2:34 pm

uusue2

2:34 pm

2:36 pm

mummy

woo, woo! I got 29 words in 25 mins this morning and just came back for the final 3. what am I going to do for the rest of the evening now?

2:36 pm

jmcnrick

it is probably because you set such a good example of being a loving and giving person he wanted to follow your example

2:36 pm

uusue2

true, I blame it on his dad :-)

2:37 pm

jmcnrick

you should try it when it is your grown nephew

2:37 pm

uusue2

and I think there is some truth to that, jmc, at least he seems to be a genuinely nice person for whatever reason

2:37 pm

mummy

off to watch a load of rubbish on the box, or maybe talk hubby into playing a game of scrabble, bye all

2:37 pm

jmcnrick

he hates to be hugged

2:37 pm

uusue2

bye, mummy!

2:37 pm

Scrabbler

Yay Mummy.

2:37 pm

jmcnrick

2:38 pm

2:38 pm

jmcnrick

but he seems to be improving even as i did as i got older

2:38 pm

Scrabbler

Uno--I need one s4 from top row

2:38 pm

jmcnrick

i am not a hugger myself

2:38 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, we do have different needs, but we all need to be nurtured.

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

i googled it too

2:41 pm

Scrabbler

I haven't gotten fireworks in months.

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

uusue2

rose hip tea, jmc? ;-)

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

i prefer a hand shake

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

lol i save rose hip tea for colds

2:44 pm

Scrabbler

Depends on who is giving and receiving the hug. Boundaries matter.

2:44 pm

uusue2

I will remember that :-)

2:44 pm

jmcnrick

my point exactly but over and over again people i know only slightly try to hug me hello and goodbye

2:45 pm

jmcnrick

people seem to think that because i am a quaker and a peace activist that i want to hug them

2:46 pm

Ground turkey patties ... like burgers :-)

9:23 pm

Australia is a big country, but we don't eat turkey, and it is only found in the frozen section as a turkey breast roll... nothing else really

9:23 pm

origami

And to play with my dogs ... it's been sooooo hot, they're going stir crazy! and when a pit bull and a coonhound go stir crazy you have to do something about it

pits have been banned here... hardly see any around now... they have banned 4 breeds

I have not seen FranMag here in FOREVER! Guess she gave up on playing Babble.I could NEVER ever do that

9:31 pm

"he" is :-) my other is a black-and-tan coonhound ... she's gorgeous also. I've always had homely dogs so appreciate their beuty.

9:31 pm

'beauty even. Pits banned? That's horrible. He's such a sweet dog. Loves every human and dog he meets.

9:33 pm

mrpresident

we had a spat of deaths of children ... pitbulls... it ended their welcome in Australia

9:33 pm

Minveryork

Of course!I always forget about the lurkers of which there are many.Sometimes I wish I could refrain from the chog. Wish I could get FWs & just leave it at that

9:33 pm

origami

They do need rather strong limits when young though ... just like any bull dog or terrier

9:33 pm

mrpresident

also Japanese Spitz

9:34 pm

mrpresident

too right min! LOL

9:35 pm

mrpresident

the people that were owning the pitbulls were redneck FW's that used them to attack people... it was more of a cultural problem here... the people orig... you understand that

9:35 pm

origami

I just learned that pits can pull 30 times their body weight ... which means mine can tow about a ton. They are powerful animals and if they aren't raised properly can be dangerous

9:36 pm

mrpresident

and because the jaw locked, they were a used as a weapon, a menace... and the children suffered

9:36 pm

mrpresident

the government was forced to act, and they banned 4 breeds

9:36 pm

mrpresident

so as not to pick on the pitbull community

9:37 pm

origami

It's always the people when animals go bad. I've owned all the "bad" breeds from the past. Used to be german shepherds, dobermans, etc. Wheatever was in vogue to be dangerous. It's always the owners.

9:37 pm

mrpresident

there are many great dog owners... but the minority that were using them as menacing weapons spoilt it for all

9:39 pm

crosshair

(((mRP)))

9:39 pm

origami

Very true ... I was a little leery of adopting the pit, but he's the dog I've loved the most. So loving, well behaved and calm. He does need a lot of exercise.

9:39 pm

origami

Watching "two fat ladies" ... anyone else a fan?

9:40 pm

mrpresident

***hugs*** (((crossy!)))

9:40 pm

crosshair

it is indeed the owners and not the dog,i used to raise pure bread shepards

9:40 pm

mrpresident

oh orig, can't watch the food they make!! too rich for my taste! LOL

9:41 pm

origami

In the US german shepherds were considered very dnagerous in the 70's I had three that were complete loves.

9:41 pm

crosshair

look at ceaser and the dog whisperer programmes,they train people and rehabilitate dogs not the other way around

9:41 pm

mrpresident

The following dogs are restricted dogs...:
(a) American pit bull terrier or pit bull terrier,
(b) Japanese tosa,
(c) dogo Argentino,
(d) fila Brasileiro,

9:42 pm

origami

Oh, love the two fat ladies ... what isn't better with bacon?

9:42 pm

mrpresident

shepherds are gorgeous! total babies at heart

9:42 pm

bacdon is the fairy dust of the food world origami

9:42 pm

mrpresident

everything is better with bacon!

9:42 pm

origami

Yes, I love the dog whisperer ... he's right on about making your dog acceptable in the human world!

9:43 pm

crosshair

as is often the case origami,it is the human that is at fault

9:43 pm

origami

Oh, I'm stealing that crossy ... my new mantra is "bacon is the fairy dust of the food world." wonderful

9:43 pm

origami

and as far as the two fat ladies go ... it has to be "steaky bacon" :-)

9:44 pm

mrpresident

just like the good old debate here... guns don't kill people, people kill people

9:44 pm

crosshair

streakjy bacon..but of course,though i do love our canadian peameal bacon

9:44 pm

Minveryork

I am channel-flipping. So far I have watched Knocked Up,The Shawshank Redemption,and now I'm watching Titanic. I think I like Titanic the best out of these 3.

9:44 pm

mrpresident

but, we are not allowed guns.

9:44 pm

crosshair

shawshank redemption rocks!!

9:45 pm

mrpresident

Shawshank Redemption is my fav of those three

9:45 pm

Minveryork

I agree, people kill people, but I still do not like guns.

9:45 pm

mrpresident

we need a movie night crossy!!

9:46 pm

mrpresident

I don't like the idea of people with guns, full stop. I do like the sport side of it however.

9:46 pm

origami

didn't know you coldn't own guns in Australia ... we love our guns in the United States. It is guaranteed in our constitution. I would never own one, but my mother had a collection :-)

9:46 pm

Minveryork

Now I am watching Mahogany,an old Diana Ross movie

9:46 pm

Minveryork

Yes, The Shawshank Redemption was a wonderful film.

9:47 pm

origami

Shawshank Redemption is a wonderful film. The book was very good as well ... "Rita Hayward and the Shawshank Redemption" by Stephen King

9:47 pm

mrpresident

our gun laws are extremely tight... my father has guns and licenses for all of them

9:48 pm

origami

*Rita Hayworth

9:48 pm

mrpresident

you have to have a pretty bloody good reason to have a gun!! very difficult to get

9:48 pm

Minveryork

Think our gun laws need to be much tighter here also.

9:48 pm

mrpresident

havn't heard of that bood orig!!

9:49 pm

origami

You have to have your guns licensed here also, but not "long guns" ... you can buy rifles and shot guns without a license

9:49 pm

mrpresident

and if you have even an iota of a hint of ever being in a position of being arrested or indited or anything, you can't apply.

9:49 pm

Minveryork

It is way too easy for us to get handguns in the U.S.

9:50 pm

mrpresident

orig... to me, that is just insane

9:50 pm

mrpresident

sorry, don't want to get into a gun law debate.

9:50 pm

origami

I agree that you should undergo strict scrutiny before buying a gun here ...

9:51 pm

origami

but since any bad guy can buy a gun on a streetcorner in almost any city, don't really now how to enact that

9:54 pm

Minveryork

That is my point exactly. Anybody can get a gun here

9:54 pm

mrpresident

sad stuff orig...

9:55 pm

Minveryork

Ok, now I am watching Hart's War, a Bruce Willis film.

9:55 pm

origami

It's awful actually. I live in the city that has the second highest murder rate in California ... Sacramento belive it or not. Not LA or SF or Oakland

9:56 pm

origami

Now the two fat ladies are stuffing a cod ... looks fantastic!

9:59 pm

mrpresident

i am watching Law and Order, Criminal Intent... luv Goren

10:00 pm

mrpresident

10:00 pm

10:01 pm

mrpresident

Full Metal Jacket is one I have never seen

10:01 pm

origami

It's more than a little distrubing mr pres

10:01 pm

mrpresident

10:02 pm

mrpresident

10:02 pm

10:10 pm

mrpresident

Minveryork

The movie "Oscar" stars Tim Curry,Sylvester Stallone and Marisa Tomei. It is a very funny movie. I loved it.
