Lorry..

I havent been posting for very long.. but one reason I felt the desire to post ..was because of you .. you just seem so friendly and down to earth,.. You made it easy for me.. was like talking to a bunch of friends.. instead of the dreaded on-line chat .. you help make this site a special place for friends to chat to argue.. but still be friends !! Thank you ..my prayers and hugs are with you for a speedy recovery.. by the way you see something buzzin around you DONT SWAT IT.. sent my guardian angel to you for a few days.... get well!!

Enigma, I'm here, having a rough week. I'm little and scared and when things get bad, I just try to hide and be invisible.

I like how just as I'm thinking of a new conversation that prob. is worthy of it's own thread, whala - Ms Lorry has already got one going! Lorry - you have such a knack for knowing what we are all wanting to talk about - keep it up!

Ohhhh you guys!!! Tut tut now...lol

Catfat, I sure hope the blues haven't hit you. I know I get them once in awhile. You're an artist, so every time you feel a little blue, make it work for you.... paint how you feel and let the blues flow right out of your body, through your paint brust and on to the canvas.

Then burn the damn thing... hehehehe Just be a bully and declare your independence from life's little slams. hehehehe Ignore me...

TexasDeb.... really??? That's great.. that means we have an unspoken connection... I think the saying is "great minds think alike". hahahaha

Then again, all my ideas come from reading everyone elses ideas...lol

Anyway pals of mine.... any of you watching House Rules???? Enigma turned me on to it... great show. I'm curious what you all watch regularly.. other then Survivor.

Hi fellow Survivor fans. I haven't been chattering much here lately. I've been nursing my sick kitty-cat back to good health. She had an infection; then minor surgery - major $$. Monday a.m., we return to the vet's to remove an abcess drain-thingy and one of those dang collar-shields. Kitty seems to be doing well tonight, yeah! She wishes she had Rupert's immunity sword to free herself from that darn collar! heh!

Hey Pannie, welcome back. Glad to hear that your baby is feeling better and hope that she continues to improve. Just tell her to be patience, she will be rid of that ridiculous collar in no time and running around having a good time.

Lorry, Thank you for the kind, upbeat words. I receive them gratefully.
Sorry I've been such a sourpuss lately, bad scene here, but I will take your sound advice.

Catfat: Yea, I'm here. Took a day off; didn't even turn on my computer (at all) or television (most of the day). Too much of my life is 'glowing' at me. (Sorry you were having it rough, but then we all do at some time... But was pleased to see you back and feisty in one of the threads.)

Let's see, Lorry. What am I watching on tv? Well, less. Realized I had a stack of tapes of shows over a foot high; and no time to watch them... Am trying to do something more productive with my evening hours. Hah! But: House Rules is on my list; also Carnivalle (so wierd...) Everybody loves Raymond (I had ignored this for years, so it's all very new to me. Great show...) Gilmore Girls; Judging Amy; West Wing; Law & Order CI. Also a lot of documentaries and 'arts' shows (the Royal Ballet's 'Cinderella' was 'on' this past week. It was filmed in 1969, when I knew just about every one on stage, and all the 'gossip' about their personal lives. Nice memories...) At your instigation, watched '...New Hampshire (the epidode when they found that the minister was gay) (moral: if anyone invites you to dinner in New Hampshire, say: no) I miss a lot of the CBS shows w. Survivor interviews: I watch the NBC Today show; have a 'crush' on Katie Couric...) That's about it.

Since I seem to find that Survivor is so 'perfect' I seem to have less and less to say in the threads; tend to come here....

I started to post what I watched, then realized I was becoming a couch potato, so I refused to post it. Then I was rereading the Getting to Know you thread, and wouldnt you know, I already posted my tv addiction!! LOL I guess I just dont do anything on a consistent basis.

I've started an exercise plan, and with the afternoon show "Starting Over" I'm trying to use that as a springboard to make some positive changes in my own life. Starting Over is so good!! Its a show on every day, filmed 24/7, but edited... women working on specific goals, using a Life Coach. I've lost 10#'s and at least 5" off my waist!! All because of this show!! Now making real life connections (like one lady on the show, the coach gives her 'assignments') is a tougher assignment, but I'm working on it!!

Last night I read. I want to read The DaVinci codes. I really have a hard time waiting till Thursday to see Survivor!! Monday, I like 7th Heaven and Everwood. Trading Spaces was hysterical this weekend, the colors they threw on those walls!! AND They painted her stove, the stove top, how she'll clean that is beyond me!! Now dont ask me why but that show O.C., I'm watching it!! I hated Beverly Hills 90210... I think I'm attracted to this kid trying to make a better life, I want him to make it... weird.

hope y'all had a great weekend, hope time passes by quickly till Thursday!! Glad to see you CatFat, Enigma... Thanks for remembering to check in Lorry!!

:)

Thanks Gen. Kitty got her medical 'appliances' off first thing this morning, yeah! After an early day after work, kitty & I had time for supervised play-time in the yard. Kitty is feeling better - and so am I. whhhooo hooo!

Cat fat, sorry that you are feeling low. Try some nice Tazo sweet orange tea (herbal) and hide within a good mystery book such as those written by Sue Grafton or Nevada Barr.

Reader, I agree with you re the black stove. One good scouring and all the paint is gone, lol. At least they didn't paint it orange!

Well, my cleaning lady quit. So instead of posting here, I'm doing housework. It's not that I mind doing it, but I'm not very good at it, and I'm slow... (And –shucks– let's be honest: I just don't want to do it.) (When I become god, I will eliminate dust. No more dust. I will also fix all of those milk and juice cartons that don't open properly –and everything pours at an angle. Vote: enigma2 for god...)

Curious Reader234: opinion on DaVinci Codes?

Amchess: I watch and enjoy Trading Spaces as well. But I prefer the Brit. version (Changing Rooms): it's only a half hour; it's more about the people than the decor, and participants actually 'win' arguments with the decorators.

Hi...you start talking Trading Spaces,and I have to join in.Love the show!!!
Hate the work of Doug & Christy most of the time.Hilda sometimes is off the wall.
I don't like the new guys work(blonde-can't remember his name)
If I had my room done I'd want Vern or Edward,they have taste.

I would NOT want Hildi to do my room........ Vern would be my choice if I had my druthers. And Frank too, if he wouldn't go too cutesy.

I watched Changing Rooms for the first time. They ran three in a row. I love the show. Especially the artwork... wow the ideas. I can't wait to try some of them for myself.

Hildi did that black dining room with the ugly YELLOW table. Ick. That dining room ranked right up there with the one that other crazy guy did where it looked like a barfed up aquarium. TRULY an ugly room. I wouldn't want either of them doing one of my rooms. Doug is just too snotty. I can't stand his attitude. He's done a couple of NICE rooms in that they LOOKED good, but the thing about him is that his rooms are seldom comfortable or practical. They all hate ceiling fans and want to hide the TV even to the point of putting the TV somewhere in the room where you can't actually sit on a sofa or chair and watch the thing. One has to be brave to let those people do their rooms, that's all I can say.

Can't remember his name. He's asian. I like his work the best on Trading Spaces.

And Bcandscott mentions removing ceiling fans. After being aware that the fans are a constant 'evil' on Trading Spaces, I got a kick out of one couple, on House Rules, installing a new one in their living room last week.

Yes, the tv is a necessary ugliness. And we need a comfortable chair to watch Survivor. I guess the 'decorative' solution is the new plasma tvs (just a 'picture' on the wall). (But, still a bit expensive. And I read that they are only 'good' for a year or two...)

For those interested in Trading Spaces, Changing Rooms, House Rules, etc., there is a forum dedicated to these programs. Thought you might want to know if you were unaware. I've been browsing and found all sorts of gems.

Thanks for the link Gen. I watch most of the shows they list, but it looks like not too many people post there. I always feel foolish adding my thoughts to a thread or topic where no one has posted for awhile... like I'm tooooo late for the party or something...lol

I wish someone would make up a tv schedule with all the different reality and makeover shows... what times they come on, the day, and the channel. I miss so many shows because I don't know what days they are on. Oh well....lol... I spend too much time on the old webtv and pc as it is... add my tv viewing and gosh... I've become a couch potatoe for sure...lol

Amchess, Please don't think I was complaining - not at all. Discuss away all you want. As I said, I had been browsing and found those threads and thought you all might be interested if you didn't know about them. I didn't realize that no one had posted in them for a while. Sorry I gave the impression I was complaining - did not mean it that way!

there was a thread that listed all of the reality shows and their time slots. it was in the general discussions area but i haven't seen it lately.

also lorry, most people talk about ts either during showtime or right after. it used to be a very popular area but some of the people who made it popular moved on. cr happens to be one of my favorite shows and i love laurence.
