This is a situation I was in a couple years ago, and even though it's not a "big deal" I've often wondered what other people's opinions on it would be. I'm going to make it a kind of anonymous story and when I've seen what some others think I'll let...

Hi Tom. I first read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings about 36 years ago. I can't say that it has affected my life in the way it did yours, as far as leading to a relationship that started with a discussion of the books, which I think is great! But I would say it has affected my life in that to me Middle Earth is real. Tolkien was so wonderful with his descriptions of everything, including ...

Hi sinnedsejatnom. I haven't heard a lot of his music, but what I have heard I like. I mostly listen to older classic rock, but sometimes I listen to Pandora on my computer, and some of his songs have come up. I should take some time to see some of his videos and I might wind up really becoming a fan!

Hi kanukrishna. I usually don't notice mistakes in movies unless it's really obvious. I think I pay more attention to the story than if there's any mistakes. My favorite movie is Moulin Rouge, and I've watched it so many times that I have noticed several mistakes. The first one that I became aware of is that at the end of a long scene with Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, her hair is styled to ...

Hi gabs. It's wonderful that you and Gissi visit this lady! I'm sure it makes her very happy, even if she doesn't remember it later. My Grandmother had Alzheimers, and it was very sad to see how she changed. When she first started showing signs of it I was living out of state, so I wasn't around her much, but my Mom told me some of the things she was doing that seemed strange. By the time I mov...

Hi raiyandhaka. Yes, I sing in the bathroom, and the kitchen, and the living room, etc. lol I live by myself and in a house, not an apartment, so I really don't think anyone can hear me. I usually have music on when I'm doing things around the house, including taking a shower, so a lot of the time I sing with it, and dance sometimes too! Actually I think some of my neighbors may have heard me i...

silver245 responded to a discussion called New to netflix and need suggestions or my que in watching movies.
2 months ago
Hi babykeka. I've found that one of the easiest ways to find movie's I'd like on Netflix is to type in the name of a movie I know I like in the search box. When it brings up that movie there are descriptions of the type or genre of movie it is. When you click on one of those descriptions it brings up a page of a bunch of movies that are the same type. Since you said you like crime drama I'll su...

From the information you've told I'd say that the police were wrong for shooting him. If the wife had told them her husband was the one with the gun, and he identified himself as the homeowner, I can't think of any reason why they should have shot him. I know that police have to react quickly to situations, but they need to use their brains, too. I feel the family has every right to sue. Also I...

Hi edxcast. I've had a nickname in my family since I was just learning to talk. My name is Valerie, and I couldn't say the "V" and I called myself Walerie. The person who still calls me that the most often is my Dad, and it makes me laugh.:D Another nickname I have is Moon. I've collected things with moons & stars on them for about 30 years, and had the word moon in the name of a business that...
