Happy Birthday from me as well. It is minus four here today - so I sort of feel in tune with your world. My dogs, Rosa and Daisy, also wish you happy birthday from the pile of cats they are using as pillows. (I just had to get the c word in. But don't worry about any birthday wishes from them - The ...

Moira - great suggestions. I'm voting for Roberts all the way around. Although the surgeon in real life does look a little like Robert Taylor, the realtor looks more like Guy Kibbee...and is a woman. As for myself, I'd have to choose Rita. After all, I can't be my usual supporting character role of ...

Anne,
Not as much snow here a little south of you, but it is piling up and expected 6 below tonight. Yikes.

I'm glad you are indoors and warm and hopefully enjoying a movie and bowl of popcorn (or peanuts in your coke). I hope the weather will cooperate soon so you can get out and about.

Thanks - I may have read that but didn't take it in. The more times it's in front of me, the more likely it is to happen at my house.

That's great luck - I'm so happy for you. The last time I got pulled over, I misted a little Vanilla body spray toward the window before the officer got there and when I rolled down the window he said he smelled cookies. I didn't get a ticket. I also have a maple one that smells like pancakes and I'...

Wow - what nice replies. Thanks so much for the encouragement - I feel myself slipping into blissful denial as I read! Some plans came into place yesterday so at least I have some dates in mind of when this, too, shall pass. In the meantime, I've got to let go and let God and blah, blah, blah. And s...

ohhh, I can't believe you mentioned Pretty Baby. No wonder poor Brooke needs medication now that she's a mother. I had forgotten how bad that movie was, but that's how it is with me and bad movies. I either walk out, or block them out. Another terrible movie for me was Requiem for a Dream, which I c...

I read over the good news thread to cheer myself up but it only helped marginally. I am really having a hard time - I don't want to get too involved but let's just say I'm involved with a realtor and a surgeon. I appreciate so much the opportunity to watch all my old movies and escape on an oceanlin...

Do we have the exact schedule and list of when to watch for our friends anywhere? If it is only listed at TCM, could we list it here, also? I am so excited for all of you.

Joe - I can so sympathize. ...Neither would I spend my spare time deferring, I could roll over in bed without checking first, I would not have to meet the ups man in the driveway, I would not have to leave the bathroom sink dripping, I wouldn't have to wash the equivalent of 3 beds worth of fur-catc...

Happy Birthday, Anne~! I hope today's TCM line-up is a gift to you. I know how all you January birthdays are shortchanged - my sister's is Jan. 5th and she's just given up hoping for company. No one one wants to get out the week after the Holidays, poor thing! I hope I'll see reminders for the other...

I watched The Affairs of Martha , 1942, this week. I almost forgot how much I love Marjorie Main... "Sure...trading's in my blood...had an uncle was a horsetrader...died on the gallows...where he belonged..." it's one of those lines you really have to be paying attention to catch because y...

Congratulations to all the guests - especially our SSO friends. It looks like a great line-up of movies and those chosen ones are speaking well for all of us in appreciation of TCM and classic film.

Re: News for pears - no help at all to all we upside-down-pears. Not a curve in the rearview mirror in sight in this Irish/Native American clan!

Feaito - congrats on the good news on your improving health and may you feel better with every film.

Female - first choice speaking or Singing - Judy Garland Another speaking favorite - Glenda Farrell - she could take on any accent and could speak 290 words a minute! And lets not forget the classically trained Alice Brady! Male - I love Bing but he lulls me right to sleep; therefore, I have never s...
