Starfish

1) relaxing on a beach... with Sharon! 2) getting a massage

The plot is totally predictable, but the effects are stunning - I'd totally recommend seeing it in 3D in a theatre, don't wait for the dvd. It won't be the same!

Only the Good Die Young - Billy Joel

Wow, I bet you don't see that very often

The episode in the Chinese restaurant, waiting and waiting and waiting...

Yep.

1. What was your last blood pressure reading? 120/70 and my doctor was doing a happy dance 2. Were/Are you swayed by peer pressure as a teen? How does peer pressure influence you now? I think everyone is swayed a little bit, especially as a teen. I'm fairly well over it now, although sometimes I buy these concert tickets that I shouldn't.... lol 3. Do you perform better or worse when under pressure? A little pressure gets me going, but too much pressure will shut me down completely. 4. How often do you have headaches? What do you do to relieve them? If I have more than a couple of headaches in a year, it's a lot. I'll go outside and take a walk. 5. Vanilla Ice sampled Queen's Under Pressure to create his big hit, Ice Ice Baby without giving the original artist proper credit. Have you ever been in a situation where credit was due and not given? How did it make you feel? Sure, and it annoyed me, but I got over it. It upset me more when I saw it happen to my kids. 6. Take this quiz - The Five Factor Values Test You are Honest, Loyal, Generous, Humble and Tolerant Loyalty: You value loyalty highly. You're completely devoted to your friends and family. Even if they totally screw up, you're still there for them. Just make sure they're equally loyal to you! Honesty: You value honesty a fair amount. You're honest when you can be, but you aren't a stickler for it. If a little white lie will make a situation more comfortable, you'll go for it. In the end, you mostly care about "situational integrity." Generosity: You value generosity highly. So much so that you often put your own needs last. There's nothing wrong with having a caring heart... But you may want to rethink your "open wallet" policy. Humility: You value humility highly.

Tolerance: You value tolerance highly. Not only do you enjoy the company of those very different from you... You do all that you can to seek it out interesting and unique friends. You think there are many truths in life, and you're open to many of them. __________________

Fiction - American Wife by Curtis Stinefeld. Not something I would have selected, but I joined a book club and we'll be discussing it in a few weeks.

A whole bunch of the Starbucks near me have closed. I am not addicted, but I love their unsweetened green iced tea.

I am embarrassed to admit how many of those quotes I know, LOL. Good stuff!

That's so lovely - and shame on those airport employees for not looking out for her themselves!

Local news

Glad I didn't ... lately, I'm just doing most of the things that would have made me say I wish I had!

Great story, Nurk - and that picture is gorgeous!!

BB's my favorite, too - he's a lot of fun to see in concert, I love his stories!!

I kinda like the one I'm using for an avatar, but my favorite photo of myself was taken when I was 19 and in a friend's wedding party. Sadly, I haven't photographed well since, lol.

Shatner is one strange interviewer, but he got Al to open up about a subject he has never discussed in an interview - it was very sad. If you don't get the Biography channel, each episode is available for download on iTunes for $1.99.

I loved PEZ! Used to buy them for my kids when they were younger.

It's highly unlikely that I would even notice, but if I did, I'd ignore it. Oh, and there's nothing friendly about my Scrabble game, I'm out for blood. lol

I thought this was already a done deal.

Suspicion of possession... cleared by the UK police... isn't that enough said on this topic?
