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...

Saw True Grit tonight

Toadsticker @Toadsticker (246) • United States 31 Dec 10

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 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...

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 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...

Did you like Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part I?

ram_cv @ram_cv (16513) • India 18 Dec 10

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...

DarlingGirl I'm so sorry that you had a hard time! Defrosting the chicken in a fridge for a day or two is the best way. Sometimes I've had to warm the cavity with hot water to get the giblets out, but usually two days is plenty of time for a full defrost. As for...
