    Shhhhhhhhhh! I am trying to watch the MOVIE!

    We have a campus theatre here that does special over 50s screenings of GE movies! Bliss! Whereas the local multiplex lets anyone in! Not so long ago there were a couple of girls calling each other on their phones across the auditorium. Thankfully their boyfriends took them out because they...

    That tune in your head

    I can only speak personally but I prefer to listen to GE music than anything else. And I love to sing to it. And dance to it. It gets in my head and stays there! :D

    Is it a little noisy in here??

    :offtopic: Whilst I would never presume to tell parents how to raise their children, sometimes being on the outside does afford a clearer view than perhaps being on the in the thick of it does. I agree that children need discipline and routine; these form their boundaries which make them feel...

    Top Baby Names from 20's thru 40's

    See, I think that makes perfect sense. However, I suspect this is not the place to go into that particular discussion! The book however, is brilliant! :D

    Holiday Viewing Recommendations

    Depends if there are wardrobe notes or not. When I worked as wardrobe mistress, I had a book for each production that detailed right down to someone's socks exactly what they were wearing. These were accompanied by preliminary, secondary and final drawings, photos and notes. So it is altogether...

    Euro vandals in NYC subways

    What I'd like to know is how do they accomplish this without being caught? Are they simply very adept and speedy? Also, that news report said that 95% of grafitti-ists (??) came from Europe but how do they know that? Are they actually saying that 95% of people caught are European? If that is the...

    Is it a little noisy in here??

    Of course, you are assuming that people actually put their children down for a nap in the afternoon like we did. I don't know if that happens anymore. Like you, I'd never take my children out when they were tired, it would have just made for an awful time all round. I think this is part of the...

    Top Baby Names from 20's thru 40's

    Memphis O'Neill just has to be a name of either a gorgeous starlet or an intrepid adventurer! I love it! :D In the book, Freakonomics that I mentioned before, there is a true tale of two boys that were named Winner and Loser by their (IMO) idiot father. Neither lad lived up to their names...
