Fernando, In my part of central Illinois we got about 5 inches of snow Christmas Eve which fell during our dinner and family party at my parents. This made us a little nervous worrying about the drive to go home, ranging from 5 miles to 45 miles. Everyone made it home safe and sound in time for Sant...

Thanks for the title, I will look for it soon because it sounds like it's right up my alley.

I appreciated everyone's lovely stories; Fossy, yours brought tears to my eyes, thank you for sharing that with us. My parents have a great love and they are proof to me that it exists...despite my inclination to disillusionment. They are two peas in a pod and would drive anyone else nuts so it's a ...

I love hats in the movies, but get annoyed at those mid-30s hats that look like they were stolen from a pilgrim. I have a couple of the little hats with tiny veils and I'm wondering if they could make a 40ish gal look 30ish since the veil would disguse the eye crinkles. Unfortunately, since ones vis...

Eh, Poo...I missed it. Can someone post a link again or do you know if I can see it on the TCM website? That's one of the things I miss about having TCM, not only seeing the promos but having them recorded along with movies I'd taped. When I hear the train promo, I am always happy because it means I...

The Christmas decorations are down, the tree stuffed in the attic, (I always feel like the Grinch and Max when we are accomplishing that task), and I've stashed the last of the treats so I'll have to hunt for them. It was a wonderful holiday and I am looking forward to good things this year. I wish ...

Thanks for sharing that, Moira, I really enjoyed it as I am a HUGE fan! He's the biggest star ever.

I hope all my SSO Film Friends had a very merry Christmas and I wish them the best in 2011.

My actual parents screen lookalikes: Andy Griffith and Helen Crump. (Andy Griffith and Aneta Corsaut). May parents are totally a 50s couple and their look hasn't changed since! My brother looks like Matt Damon and my sister looks like a redheaded Nicole Kidman. Me? I'm the brunette of the bunch and ...

I watched Leap Year with Amy Adams and the verrrry handsome Matthew Goode. Amy's character travels to Ireland to propose on Leap Day to her boyfriend. Her plane is diverted and she meets a pub owner (Goode) who helps her get to Dublin (eventually). I thought it was a very cute, silly travel story in...

Fernando,
Welcome to the neighborhood!
Ok, I'm exaggerating just a little...
Seriously, I hope your family has a wonderful trip. Can't wait to hear all about it...B

I got in a fun pre-code this week: Reducing This comedy/drama, 1931, stars Marie Dressler who goes to live with her wealthy sister, Polly Moran. Polly's daughter, Anita Page, doesn't think much of Marie's family but has a change of heart when a man does her wrong and her aunti steps up to her rescue...

HAHAHA! There is nothing like a kitten on a dog's head.
(Klondike, just hold it in!)

Alison,
I have been off a few days with the flu but am throwing up some late prayers, anyway for Libby to be well and confident. It sounds like you handled it all like the amazing woman you are. God bless.

Thanks for your kind words...it's been a tough week and I am doing my best to remember better times. It's hard to know what to do with myself since I am used to spending so much time checking on her and caring for her. I catch myself thinking, 'Better go check on Rosa...oh." I know every day wi...
