debbie4824 I can understand that, but at the same point, if we have people that truly need assistance, we should update our welfare system to help them. Using our income tax system for it is just not a good idea, there is no true "check" on whether it goes to someone who...

debbie4824 I don't really want songs for the baby at this point, more for the parents, but the particular songs you listed are good, i'd forgotten about Butterfly Kisses. I'll have to check out the others as I haven't heard them. Thanks for your help!

debbie4824 Kudos to you for making her read it! I think that's one of the best things that can happen when a movie is made from a book is to get people to read more, especially kids!

debbie4824 What you have to remember is that LOTR was actually three very detailed and lengthy novels that were turned into 3 movies, so while it may seem that they took more time to convert the book to movie, it was actually less when you compare the length of the...

debbie4824 Now see, I do enjoy Will Smith. I think for a rapper turned actor, he's remarkable. I haven't necessarily seen all of his movies so maybe there's one out there that stinks and I'm just not thinking of it. Hitch was not nearly as funny as I thought it would...

debbie4824 When they die, that's one thing, but these days, they don't wait to die, they are using their name to earn income while they are still alive and able to write. James Patterson, Tom Clancy (as mentioned below) are just a few of the worst offenders. I...

debbie4824 I want to stop reading it, but I am incapable of not finishing a book or movie no matter how bad it is. For example, I had Derailed figured out less than halfway through the movie so the rest was just torture but I had to watch it anyway.

debbie4824 They don't treat them as serious stories, they look at them say here's a romance novel, throw it on the Hallmark channel and the women will come running. If they took them more seriously they could be great. Mary Higgins Clark has incredible novels and I...

debbie4824 Kiss the Girls. Good book, good movie. With the exception of The Firm, I think all of the Grisham movies have been well done. Morgan Freeman - is there anything bad to say about him, he is just phenomenol (sp?)!
