vgoulette, no need to apologize. Thanks to both you and havedreamwilltravel for providing the answer, I appreciate it.
I love vacations, but sure miss seeing my fave tv shows :).

i don't know.......................................:B:B:B
Say it isn't so! You don't know? I thought you knew everything of importance :B, lol :B.
RE: Your favorite Fall drive and why ?
•Driving around Parke County, Indiana during the annual Covered Bridge Festival which runs for a couple of weeks each October.
Why - Trees changing to glorious golds and reds, around thirty covered bridges to walk over, drive over, or just look at, creeks to splash around in. LOTS of people enjoying the sights, smells, food, and sounds of crafts, products, yard sales, and flea market booths.
•A couple of trips through the Smoky Mountains.
Why - LOTS of hills covered with trees turning colors.
RE: Movies: Feast or Famine
"The Women" - love this ensemble cast!
"Nights in Rodanthe" - Nicolas Sparks at his best!
"An American Carol"- One reason only, Trace Adkins is in it! No other reason, I'm going to the early matinee for $5.
I hadn't heard of "An American Carol".
Several years ago we saw Trace Adkins in concert. I'll have to look for this movie.
CatandJim, a perfect ladies day out - awesome! Have fun.
I think you and rwmmdj will like "The Women". A friend and I went to it the other day. My jaw dropped seeing all the big names in it. Very fun to watch them.
Les, a new Bourne movie?!?!:E Spill it, kid! :B What do you know, who's in it, and most importantly when:@ I've seen a new book (at least I think it's a new book and not a reprint) in the Bourne series. Wonder if the movie is about that one or a previous?
You got me on that, choose between Daniel Craig's Bond or Matt Damon's Bourne, and I'll have to go with Damon/Bourne. Ah, such choices ;) (sigh).
RE: Survivor: Gabon Africa starts tonight 9/25
Yeah it was her shoes. :B That's what she was saying. Yeah whatever.
Speaking of shoes... I always have to wonder why these people who are going to be "survivors" dress the way they do. I mean they know they are going on the show, they know where they are going and yet some of them choose to dress that way? :h
I'm thinking if I were going I would dress in layers, have a bathing suit underneath, wear the most comfortable athletic shoes I owned, and maybe even put on a couple of extra undergarments as well as socks. I know that the first day out might not be comfortable dressed that way but the extra clothes would certainly be handy later on.
I know, I know.... the young ones with great bodies want to show them off, but for pete's sake the right clothes would be an advantage.
My every day garb is...............levi's, tanktop, mocassins & carry my bowie survival knife (with compass & magnifying glass).........................heeheehee..............:B:B:B
Mountain Jack, have you given any thought to trying out for Survivor? One of my favorite players of all time in the game of Survivors, was Rupert. Tie dyed shirts, long hair, bearded, rough and tumble, lovable Rupert.:) I think he was one of the favorite players of that game even if he didn't win in the end. His fans loved him, so if I remember right, they gave him $100,000. Not bad for a month of camping with skimpy dressed girls, right?:W

I know! What the heck was with the sundresses? Suits and ties? My SO wonders if they called them to a "meeting" and then just put them on a plane so they didn't know they were heading out and went in their work or summer type clothes. It makes sense and sounded logical so maybe that's why the suits, ties, nothing sundresses and 10 pound shoes? :h
Your SO's explanation for the inappropriate clothing makes sense.
But I'd think the contestants would have caught on a long time ago to tricks such as that. Barb mentioned Rupert. Didn't that season wear street clothing on the opening show? If it wasn't Rupert's first season, another one. I seem to remember a dress and suits in the past.
Movies: Feast or Famine
Does it seem to you that movies that interest you come in droves, then there's a drought where you'll step in to a movie house again?
Sure feels that way to me sometimes. Lucky for my chick-flick lovin' heart there's a feast going on. Yes!
What, if any, movies are in theaters now or in the near future you're wanting to go see?
RE: Lap-Band Procedure - Decide To Do It
Congratulations on getting the first fill under your belt...sorry, couldn't resist :B...and getting to the next stage.
Thank you for describing what is involved in each procedure.
RE: iPod Help
I have a Zune 80GB. So far I like everything about it except the program runs multiple processes on its own on the computer, even though I don't have the Zune plugged into the computer and not updating or downloading anything. The more processes that run, the slower my computer is :M :(.
RE: Meerkats!
Bearnkat, they sure are (fascinating). I still think about little Shakespeare after all this time.
Steve Ruff, that is such a great thing to do when traveling. We're going to have to add that to our list.
So far we've only done art museums, but checking out the animals would be more fun - to see how the various zoos house their animals, what animals they have, the landscaping, and amenities (trains, picnic areas, children's play areas).
If you ever wander into Indianapolis, you might enjoy the zoo downtown.
It's changed over the years and that keeps it interesting. Several years ago they added a huge greenhouse and outdoor areas/settings with trees, perennials, ponds, paths, fountains, walls, arbors, etc. It's fun to explore inside and out and the changes in seasons keep it fresh. Butterflies reign over the greenhouse in the spring, while autumn items such as mums and pumpkins have taken their place now.
RE: It starts tonight !!!..Waiting on night II
It was nice to see Susan loosen up last night. She was right the first night about her nerves getting the best of her.
Thanks for mentioning that Lacey had been on So You Think You Can Dance, and that her brother won a season of that show. I never watched the program beyond a few minutes here and there, so didn't know that she'd been on it. Glad to see her making it into DWTS.
I agree with you about Cloris. She should be the next one to go.
It probably wouldn't get as high of ratings, but it'd be nice to see the older stars get a season of their own. I would watch because they are so much fun and some of them can really move and get into it sometimes. Think of George Hamilton, for one :B.
RE: Anyone a member of Barnes and Noble book forums?
I just registered so I will let you know once I get my confirmation email. As a guest I couldn't see anything personal about anyone.
I did go and post and see nothing about myself.
It's cool that you registered. You're sure to have a great time in the discussions.
Thank you for letting me know that you didn't see anything personal showing.
Did you post yet? If you have, could you click on your username on the post and see if any computer info. shows then? If I remember correctly, that is when it showed up for me. Thanks again :).
RE: Anyone a member of Barnes and Noble book forums?
Humm....I'll have to check it out. I wasn't aware of the B&N Forum. Thanks for the pointer.
You're welcome. Have fun talking about your favorite books and authors and discovering new ones.
Meerkats!
Check with your local zoos to see if they have some of these :C creatures or if they will be having an exhibit in the future.
Hubby and I went to the zoo recently with some friends. We wanted to see the Koalas and Meerkats. Unfortunately we'd missed the Koalas by a week or two, but the zoo still had the Meerkats (yes!), so I got to see them for a second time :C.
These little critters must feel all safe and sound now because they would come sit against the plexiglass, even with me right next to it and my hand touching the glass at their level. It was awesome to look right at their little eyes and watch their noses twitch. Something got into them because all of a sudden most of them took off running with their tails up, just like they do on the television show Meerkat Manor. So cute :).
Some of our group touched sharks (Not me! Watched Jaws too many times, lol), I did touch a gorgeously colored and marked python, though (because a keeper was holding it at the time, otherwise forget it :B), we listened (for the first time ever for any of us) to the tiger who decided to be vocal that day - he/she sounded nothing like we thought it would :?, we laughed with the kids as they got splashed by the dolphins, and a friend and I got pelted with tiny pebbles when some of the baboons raised a rucus tearing around their enclosure :R :B and watched two sets of parents and extended families with two baby baboons.
It's not just for kids. If you haven't been to yours in awhile, think about going, you just might have fun. We sure did.
RE: Anyone a member of Barnes and Noble book forums?
Hi.
Yes, I registered a few weeks ago. It is a nice website. Great discussions and reading suggestions. They also do book club reading and discussion. Authors come on and talk with members. Pretty cool!
I'm curious to know if any other B&N forum members, when logged in, see their computer setting/address or other personal information or if only the logged on member sees this and that info. is not displayed to other forum members.
Sounds confusing, I know :), but I've never seen this kind of information displayed when logged on to any forum before, and want to make sure I'm not missing something in the way of security measures, either when logging in, or if there is a problem with my computer settings.
I don't feel comfortable logging in without knowing if that information is safe or not, so am hoping a trusted RV.Netter has the scoop on this kind of thing.
