What a flick, I have to admit I am a huge fan of the Duke and this is the only role in which he won an Oscar, so I was a little leery of this remake. I won't give any spoilers but it is very faithful to the first movie with...

DarlingGirl Oh, no, Edna, I think it might be serving to educate us, if anything. I've got to say that when I was in school and we used to have to use encyclopedias to look things up, I hated it. Research was a dirty word to all of us, especially if we had to go to the...

DarlingGirl Hi, Toadsticker! I just saw the remake, too. I can't say Jeff had the same presence that he Duke had. Far from it, his Cogburn wasn't nearly as "gritty!" He didn't surprise me, he didn't scare me, either. Actually he was quite a cordial Cogburn. Mr. Damon...

Have you ever done this to yourself? I've absolutely burnt myself with hot oil. Of course I've run my hand under ice-cold water for 5 minutes, and applied some anitbacterial salve, and taken some ibuprophen to reduce the swelling,...

DarlingGirl Much too late at night for a doctor, I'm afraid. But I have taken the equivalent: two Advil Liquidgels. Thanks for the advice!

DarlingGirl Don't laugh: I have 13. Ages ranging from 6 months to 12 years. What do I do, buy lots of food, and kitty litter, I feed everyone from separate plates, so there's a ton of mayhem during feeding time. Cleaning the catboxes (I have 6 of them) is a chore, I've...

DarlingGirl Yep, with all the help I've gotten already (thanks, Mom) I'll never take my family for granted again. I just hope I can repay them someday.

DarlingGirl Do ask the vet if there is a fish-flavored or strongly flavored additive that you can use. Sometimes catnip can make a difference, other times, fish oil. But whether or not your cat can digest it is another matter. Have you tried warming the food in the...

DarlingGirl Yes. I'll tell you the truth, I do it all the time. I've been a call center agent/customer service rep for over 18 years, and I'll talk to almost anyone. I make friends that way! On the bus, I've had fast friends, talking about how our jobs suck, or our...

dollar account

1 response

DarlingGirl Yep, that's kind of what she means. People outside of the US often need a "dollar account" so that they can earn money in $$ (as in US Dollars). That way they don't have to convert the dollars into their own currency. Unfortunately the US dollar has taken a...

I'm really quite angry with the SyFy channel for cancelling Caprica. I loved the series. The veteran actors were all just as good as those who were on Battlestar Galactica. The plot was just getting fantastic when SyFy pulled the...

DarlingGirl Hey, Stealthy! HAve you checked www.hulu.com for any eps you might have missed? You can watch them fom your computer. It's legal - they give advertisements every 20 minutes or so, but it's better than TV!

I did not like the movie and felt it to be a waste of money. The movie was long drawn out and the performances were also below par. Also, there was very little action in the movie. What about you? Did you like the...

DarlingGirl Nope, it was dark, slow, plodding, and melodramatic. That said, all the actors gave their best. At this point I'm siding with the bad guys! Get it over with! Valdemort rules. So does Ralph Feinnes, one of my favorite actors. Alan Rickman also scores high on my...
