I of course thought it was wonderful. I only know (now) 4 other people who've seen it, and we all agree. I'm hoping to turn others onto it.

That, unfortunately, is the case. It must have been low budget. I would never have seen it, but a friend of mine, realizing this, took me to see it after he'd gone himself. The following weekend, I took my room mate to ensure that she would see it. In fact, I bought the DVD so that I could make everyone I know watch it. It is a good movie. It's a bit of a tear jerker, but I think it escapes being trite. It's fulfilling. The players do a

Small Children in Movie Theaters in Misc JoeUser Forums

Why take your kids to see "Dawn of the Dead?" Why sit right in front of me so that I can't miss the fact that you have small children and you've taken them to see a horror movie? Am I missing something here? I'm pretty sure this movie will inspire flesh-eating zombie nightmares for me, and I'm 28. In front of me are Mr and Mrs and their 4 little girls, ran

The Rat in the Yard in Pets & Nature JoeUser Forums

Yesterday morning while getting ready for work, some unusual fence rattling outside prompted me to look out my second story bathroom window to find what was either the largest mouse ever, or the cutest rat, trying to bust into my neighbor's garbage can. We live in a row of townhouses on a main road. For the first time in 4 years, this spring has brought a ro

What Did I Do Last Night? in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

Most mornings I wake up a little tired and groggy. I know I don't get quite as much sleep as my body needs. Some mornings, like this morning, I wake up feeling like someone's been punching on me all night. I don't know why. My shoulders, back, and sides are downright sore. I will grant you it wasn't the best night's sleep I've had, but there was no eviden

Good luck. I'll be interested to hear about your success!! Interesting theory on the effects of caffeine. My mother's always been a big coffee drinker -with milk and sugar, and quite thin most of her life (she's put on some weight since she quit smoking a few years back). Then again, with coffee cup in one hand, she's always got a huge glass of ice water in the other - probably helps. Not to mention smoking is probably an appetite supressa

Great game, good for Detroit - as a team and a city. I'm anticipating a t-shirt that incorporates the Pistons, the Lakers, Jack Nicholson, and the quote "You can't handle the truth!"

One other Rasheed fact to throw in: More than one of the other Pistons has said that he improves their game. Maybe this applies when he's sitting on the bench too. Think he'll sign on with the Pistons? then i'm going straight to auburn hills to party in the streets Great, drinks are on

Reply to Pistons versus Lakers in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

It's just that they are in the show now displaying it for everyone to see, not just us loyal fans. True, but before the addition of Rasheed Wallace, they may not have made it this far. Even now, the games are presented as "The Lakers are losing" rather than how awesome the Pistons are playing to w

Coocoo bean: you use your tears as a weapon (giving woman a bad name, by the way), but do they ever work against you instead of for you? Or do you have complete control over when you cry? Kayles: Thanks for sharing. That's exactly what I'm talking about it, and it's darn frustrating! You want to speak your mind and defend (whatever it is that's gotten your gander up), but instead you end up feeling like an idiot. Then, if you're like me, y

Rent this movie. Simply excellent. Well written, well acted, great story. Has anyone in the world besides me seen this?

Since when is HIV/AIDS restricted to the gay community? Anyone having unprotected sex or sharing needles puts themself at risk. It only takes one time. Marvin may have had the good sense to stop taking drugs, but apparently didn't have the good sense not to take them to begin with. You don't know what's in that pill you copped, what you're smoking. You don't know where your partner's been. Thank you for sharing Phoenixboi. You're a testa

Yea, keep it up Mason. You'll find out what uncomfortable is I would agree that women steriotypically express more emotion than men. I would not go so far as to say that they are more emotional than men. Most of the men I know feel emotions very strongly, but as you all have said, they're more inclined to keep it inside. Surely it's more healthy to express your emot

Big Girls Don't Cry in Misc JoeUser Forums

Recently, a friend of mine a story about a run in she had with her land lord (at the time). At one point she said, "and I'm a girl, so of course, when I get mad, I start to cry," as a point of frustration. I get it, I totally get it. I don't think I'm a big milquetoast, and my friend certainly isn't. Most people wouldn't categorize me as an emotional per

It's no surprise that you find reasons not to exercise. Exercising is hard, and it is not fun. Even if it is at first, the novelty wears off. A good friend of mine has lost about 70 lbs over the past 9 months. She got a personal trainer, who really kick her butt in gear. But, at the same time, she's become obsessed with losing weight and her appearance. She no longer enjoys food. It's always a good idea to have a buddy to work ou

Reply to I drove an SUV this morning..... in Misc JoeUser Forums

As a car driver, I'm 'anti-SUV' myself. I've driven trucks, vans, and SUVs, but always feel more in control when I'm lower to the ground. Please, whatever you do, don't learn to love it and become another overly confident (steriotype) big guy on the roads, leaving the rest of us little guys behind!!! Come to think of it, I think I hear the Jeep mocking you right now. Hate it, hate it...

In that case, you'd better not watch the games after all. Or, maybe you should, as an experiment -- See if you can't reverse the spin of the earth on its axis!! I'm poking fun at you, of course. You can't cause a team to lose by watching them. That's superstition talking. I read a great editorial criticizing all these folks that commend Kobe for playing so well despite all his personal distractions, when in fact, he made the choice to have

Reply to Go friggin' Pistons in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

I'm sure I'm partial because I live in Detroit, but the Pistons are a very respectable team. They're blue collar, like much of Detroit, and it's great to see them pull together to achieve, rather than relying on one or two to pull them along. But kingbee, this should make the games that much more fun for you to watch, having ties to both teams. I would be happy to not see Kobe win.

Reply to Go friggin' Pistons in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

Hey, they've already gone further than a lot of people thought they would. Recognizing that the Lakers will probably win, I do think the Pistons have a chance - not playing like they did last night though. At least their defense held Indiana from taking too big a lead. And thank goodness they won - after Artest's little stunt. He may have cost his team the series...

It's all good. imajinit, I like your game 6 prediction. It sounds pretty right on, unless they just go ahead and win the next two - which also seems to be a distinct possibility. I haven't verified, but according to one friend's research, the Pacers have never recovered from a 2-1 deficit to win a seven-game NBA playoff series. More excitement tonight!!
