Well... looky here...
Rob. Check.
Red striped polo. Check.
Walking. Check.
Smiling. Check.
All GOOD things.
The Rags and the Hags would have you believe
that Rob is enjoying his 'freedom' and is 'single'
Because... you know...
Rob going to another country for work
is something he has NEVER done before!!
is something he has NEVER done before!!
Please.
How very predictable.
You would think by now...
People would realize that
Rob and Kristen know exactly what they are doing.
Everything works out.
It always does.
I think that the sane good side of the fandom should disregard and ignore
any Gossip Rag or Bitter Hag who routinely uses the following words.
Exit Strategy
PR
Lapdog/Poolboy
Ruth paid them off
Scandal
On/Off again
Rupert
Rupsten
Liberty
Home wrecker
Adulteress
Whore
Lesbian/Dyke
Damage Control
Breaking up/Broken up/On a Break
Mysterious Blonde
Single/Free
Epic Love
(I'm sure I've forgotten a few)
None of them have ever had any real significance.
No relevance.
Only Excuses.
Rationalizations. Bitter Jealousy.
There might have been a brief flickering moment...
But that is long OVER
Now the flame is strong and steady.
.gif)
And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in
Rob and Kristen are more determined than ever
to make their relationship work.
As always...
You can see Rob's resolve and certainty
all over his face.
And in his actions.
See... some people cling to 'exit strategy'
It makes an appearance every time Rob goes to work
And Kristen isn't with him.
But Rob had his chance... didn't he?
I mean...
If he had really wanted out
He had the perfect opportunity.
The perfect exit.
But no.
He REMAINS by her side.
In her life.
Choosing to be with her.
Choosing love.
Choosing Kristen.
Always Kristen.
There's a feeling of...
Permanency.
Continuity.
You don't love this long
This hard
This much
and just let it go.
And if anything?
Rob and Kristen are holding on tighter than ever.
So very close.
They are
Never.
Letting.
Go.
Keep your eyes on the horizon...
Good things.
This post is brought to you by acceptance.
Accept that Rob and Kristen
Always
End
Up
Together.
Accept that you can compare Kristen to
any other actress...
But that it won't change how
Robert feels about her
or affect their relationship.
Accept that there will always be
people who hate...
just for the sake of hating.
And will always be needy and insecure
and creating drama where none exists.
Accept that
Rob and Kristen
Will prove all the naysayers and haters wrong
once again.
They always do.
And accept
that I absolutely adore
Thomas Sturridge
Until next time.

Glad your doing well and we all are glad your back :)
@ Kenzz
Isn't it amazing what we will do for our children or family members.
@ tuf
My hubby and son are counting down the days for TWD to. They've discovered the old TV series Prison Break on Netflix to watch till then which happens to have the girl who played Lori in it.
Hello everyone.
Envy and psychosis are in Valeria DNA,and she could not be help even if you lock her up in the psychiatric ward.
@Ginger-hey,I can understand,why you're hesitant of sending the kids in school.With all the news about shootings everywhere.I'm scared just thinking about it.My friends that have little ones home school this kids and I can't blame them.
Silver Lining Playbook is actually good and I agree Bradley C is good in the movie and of course Robert D.
I'm watching MAMA when it comes out,I don't know if this is scarier than Sinister.
BIRDIE and OLIVIA
Thanks . It's one of the few good pics I've ever had taken. I usually have my eyes closed or I look like someone just pissed me off...lol....I will be changing it out soon for a classic R and K :)))))
PIST. I was tickled with your responses. Your " name" is an interesting one...and it can be used in all kinds of sentences..." I would like some PISTachio ice cream". " Werent you really PIST ( yes I know I'm not spelling it correctly...just playin around with it) when VALERIA flew by?". " I'm surprised GINGER didn't get PIST on when the guy flashed her the other day.". " I'm picking up my PISTol so I can join the posse.". Yep, I have too much time on my hands.
Hello to MARLEY, ALI MAC, and dear KENZZ..sorry I missed you!!!!!
lol super yo are too funy in ur last post. thanks for the hello as well ;)
Hi Robert,
My father has just been diagnosed with early stages of Parkinson's. I pray you will find something to relieve this process.
Kristen. Where for art thou, Kristen?
Super, your avi is gorgeous, and so are you!! You and your cute "play-on-Pist"...How about Valeria might need to see a theraPIST?
Pam, you're so right, but I guess they're only home with us for a few years in the scheme of things, so I won't begrudge her the famous Tim Tams! lol Acually, I'm looking forward to trying one, myself... Yum yum
tufenuf, I'm very sorry to hear the news about your Dad's diagnosis, I'm sure it's a frightening time for your family.. prayers being sent your way. Robert (and his experience) is such an inspiring example of someone who can encourage your hope & faith...
Shout out to those folks I've missed, haven't had time to check in recently (RL is currently good but crazy), but hope all of you are enjoying a happy and healthy start to your New Year...
Kenzz
Thank you so much about my dad.
TUF -- So sorry to hear about your Dad. I have heard that there are some new drugs/treatments ... hope that is correct and that he will be okay for a long time.
Lizzied
You are so kind to say that about my dad
Evening Ladies and mister Robert
@Tuff - sorry about your dad
@Kenzz - I spit soda with your sling that DVD stuff . I am actually waiting until after March for the new excuses - they better be good because it has been 4 yrs in waiting
@Holy - If I could get away with home schooling them I would, It is weird having 2 that are adults and in college and 3 in elementary school - 2 different worries but still all the same. I hope we find some form of humanity and real soon.
Tuf, how old is your Dad? I don't know much about Parkinson's, only what I've heard on TV, etc. I guess the most "high-profile" person I've heard of is Michael J. Fox and he's amazing.
I've heard about some sort of surgery that they are doing but it might be experimental. I'm sure you and the family will be looking up everything you can find on the internet. I know I would be doing that also.
@tuf- sorry to hear about your dad.
@Ginger- I hope so too.
Hi Robert,
Have you ever tried traditional Chinese herbal medicine? It's probably not FDA approved, but it is up to the person.
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20584-chinese-medicine-offers-new-parkinsons-treatments.html
True family story:
About 5 or six years ago, my uncle was diagnosed with liver disease. The doctor gave him eleven months to live. My aunt went to china town and bought a few thousand dollars worth of Chinese herbal medicine. This medicine was made to order directly from China. They made tea out of the herbs and my uncle kept drinking it daily. Well, he is alive now.
The medicine that doctors prescribe don't do anything.
~Topaz
Ginger, keep your mouth closed, sweetie! No more spitting! Lol I feel for you with the kids in school... I homeschooled my oldest for about 1 1/2 years, and it almost killed us both! Seriously, we just need to have faith when we send them off into this very scary world, however old they are, I guess...
My condolences to your Broncos... My Patriots met with the same fate... :(
@super
what can i say. i will get right on it. and thank you for everything.
@tufenuf55
anything you need to know, i have had it for 15 years now, i am an open book and if i can help in any way, you need only ask.
@Kenzz - I try but sometimes the laugh is just way too good :) Work interferes with me home schooling but yeah they know how to make my eye and palm twitch in about 2 seconds so that would be interesting for all of us if I were to home school them. Yeah I was sad (and cussing up a storm) for the Bronco's and the Patriot's but there is always next year :)
@topaz
hello to you also. thanks for the tip, i will certainly look into it
@lizzied
the surgery you are thinking of is DBS or deep brain stimulation. i have had it. it is working. it would take all night to go into it so let me just say that i would exhaust all other avenues before deciding to go through with it
Ginger, I'm still a bit raw after the loss... Was certain we were going to the Superbowl (& btw, figured you guys were probably a shoo-in, too). As you say, there's always next year!
How's your weather this week in Colorado? We are cold and windy in New England, but don't have much snow... Hoping for some by February vacation so that we can take the kids skiing up north.
Hello, you lovely ones of current and past times, who lift my spirit.
@Super
I am pist I missed you this am. Made me laugh with your comments!
Shout out to rose, Kenzz. PL, Kami, Tif, Ginger, Pam. Patty. Liz, Sweet Robert, Marley, Holy, and you all I have missed.
BBL.
DK,
Sending you big waves, blowing kisses, and holding up my " We love our FGM" sign
@ Kenzz - we shouldn't have lost that game - we played bad and there was horrible call playing. We got snow early but then bitter cold that has finally decided to have mercy on us - almost short weather tomorrow with it being in the 60's although I am betting they will kick the A/C on in the office and it will be cold. There has been a lot of snow up in the mountains so they will milk the skiing here until May at the very least
@DK - Smooches and hugs my dear friend
@Marley - Heya :)
@Super - Oh the jokes I have had on the flasher - I attract weirdo's - I think I need to stop wearing my hair in pigtails and braids LOL
Goodnight, sweeties... Time for this Cinderella's bed!
Ginger, stay warm
@Kenzz - night and you stay warm too :)
Good evening Roseland!
Just popping in for a sec to say I thought Silver Linings Playbook was pretty awesome.
Super-You made me laugh with your amusement of my blog name. Can I say that the first time I saw your blog name I laughed so hard thinking it meant you were a "super farter"...then, realized it was anesthetic. LOL!!!
ROBERT -- I'm so glad that surgery worked for you. What I saw on TV looked like a miracle of sorts ... however, like you said, I'm sure it's a real process. Good for you for getting there and so glad it's working for you. I imagine your music is of great comfort to you.
DK -- Hi and Bye to you!!! I'm leaving you with the night shift ...
GOOD NIGHT, ROSELAND!!!
Pistol...LOL OMG I thought I was the only one who thought that when I saw Super's name. For the first day I was convinced she was a male. Because What female would brag about that? LOL
Tuff I'm so sorry about your husband. I know how scary those words must be for someone to hear.
@ Ginger
I think the homeschooling idea crosses everyone's mind when these things seem to be happening way to often but as a over forty+ that's been away from the school scene a long time I have to be honest and say my 17 year old has brought some work home that i had no idea what it was much less how to help if he needed it...THANK GOD HE DIDN'T
@ Holy
If you get to watch MAMA before I do let me know what you thought. My hubby and I are horror movie nuts but usually end up disappointed in some of the resent ones and wishing we saved our money or watched something else. The two feral girls will make it worth watching, I hope.
@ PL
Ready to share your next chat topic :)
Is Love at First Sight Possible?
Yes, I believe it.
http://people.howstuffworks.com/love-at-first-sight.htm
Tonight, I made this for hubby and he loved it.
Coq Au Vin
Bona petite!
http://www.pbs.org/food/fresh-tastes/julia-child-coq-au-vin-recipe/
Ingredients
4 slices thick cut bacon
3 lbs chicken breasts and legs, skin on (two breasts and two drumsticks)
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 tsp minced garlic
2 bay leaves
1 sprig fresh rosemary, minced
2 cups red wine
2 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
10 oz sliced mushrooms
¼ tsp pepper
½ tsp salt (or, to taste)
Directions
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Fry the bacon over medium heat in a dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot. After it’s fried, remove the bacon and place on paper towels to drain. Once cool, chop bacon and set aside. Keep the bacon grease in the pot.
Turn heat to high and place chicken, skin-side down in the pot. Sear chicken until golden brown on both sides, about eight minutes. Then, add the onions, garlic, bay leaves and rosemary. Continue sautéing until the onions begin to soften, about six minutes.
Add the chicken broth and red wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, carefully remove the chicken from the pot and place in an oven-safe dish. Keep chicken warm in the oven while you work on the sauce.
Stir the flour and butter (butter should melt instantly in the pot) into the red wine sauce. Bring back up to a boil and stir constantly----sauce should be begin to thicken. Add mushrooms, chopped bacon, salt and pepper and continue cooking for 10-12 minutes. Keep in mind that the sauce will also thicken up a bit when it cools.
Place chicken back in sauce and serve with roasted potatoes, noodles or a big green salad.
Yield: 4 servings
@Pam-I'm going to watch this Friday and let you know.Do you enjoy watching TV? I watched The Following with Kevin Bacon last night and it was good actually.
Great post Rose! thanks!!!
@ Holy
We aren't huge TV watchers, my hubby and son are fans of The Walking Dead, Duck Dynasty, wrestling etc. I'm a fan of a couple comedies Raising Hope and Mike and Molly. For some reason we it takes us a while to discover a series like now my addiction is TRUE BLOOD but that's only because family members bought the first 4 seasons for me and hubby...we literally watched all of them non stop and now I'm dying for the next season on DVD to release since I don't get HBO.
We like Kevin B. and the previews for the show did look good, when we first seen it we thought it was a new movie he was in. One of my hubby's favorite movies is Death Sentence.
Can't sleep...
Holy,
I have The Following on DVR and have high hopes as I think Kevin Bacon is such a good actor.
Pisteou,
I loved Silver Linings. I haven't really seen Bradley in much other than the Hangover and thought he was very good. Jennifer, Deniro, Jackie, I loved all the characters and loved the ending. I am a sap.
I am working my way through all the Oscar nominees. I saw Zero Dark Thirty today and like it. You have to pay attention, but helped that the events are recent. I really am impressed with Jessica Chastain these days.
Lincoln was great especially if you like politics. DDL is fabulous. I still really loved Argo, edge of your seat!
Holy and Pam,
I was surprised that Jessica Chastain is in Mama. It looks very creepy. I have to watch those in my living room with a pillow.
Topaz,
The Coq Au Vin sounds delicious. Not exactly low cal, haha. My kids love bacon, so will have to give it a try.
OK, may try to snooze.
Happy Birthday Oneheart!
May your day be memorable, filled with happy wishes.
Someone is sprinkling fairy dust. A bithday,Oneheart? Have a fantastic day!
Good morning all.
It is freezing here. 11 degrees as I type this. Sub zero wind-chill.
Heading out........Oh man!
--------------
There are great movies playing. I would also recommend Amour.
Happy Birthday Oneheart.
Take care everybody.
KENZZ After talking on here about TIM TAMS I was looking them up online and the alternative to them in the UK is a biscuit called the PENGUIN, maybe these are available in any stores that sell UK food products. This might be a cheaper alternative.
http://www.mcvities.co.uk/product/penguin
here's a link so as you know what to look for.
MARLEY Hi and sorry I missed you xx hope things are good with you.
KAMI and PISTEUO I am also guilty of thinking Super's name had to do with farting and spent a while wondering why you'd want to call yourself that!! he he. I then read her profile and the penny dropped and I felt a bit stupid, but I wasn't alone :)
TOPAZ I like the sound of the recipe you posted, have you ever tried it with white wine?
HaPpY BiRtHdAy to ONEHEART have a great day xx
Morning ANNIE and BIRDIE, sounds like a day for plenty of layers Annie.
Thank you for your posts Ms. Rose. It always lightens up my bad days. Earlier I clicked on hater site on tumblr and good grief she's taking the hate and stupidity on a whole new level. I had to admit I wanted to comment back on her posts but decided not to. She has no logic and a heart full of hate.
Your dedication to Rob and Kristen is amazing. Yep, it really is a good thing to be on the sane/good side of the fandom. :)
Good Morning ROSELAND
PIST. That's exactly the response I wanted. Total confusion and then oh... OK. I have a odd sense of humor. That's why I identify with Robert that posts with us... His sense of humor is exactly my cup of tea:)))
KAMI. HUGS and hey I don't take offense to you thinking I might have been a male. On the Internet one can be anything one wants to be. Like the ball player that loved his cyber " girlfriend". Geez. Gotta run. Ttyl
Ali: It is a day for layers......No kidding!
Ah.......The haters, I think we give them relevance every time we mention them.
Such hapless fools. Poor things have such a litany of fail attached to them.......,,,,,, It has to sting to be wrong all the fucking time. To realize that all the hate you spew has no impact whatsoever on the people you're aiming your viciousness at or the ones who support and love them.
Morning Super! :)
Morning to everyone else too! :)
Did anyone watch the show The Taste last night on ABC - Interesting concept.
Featuring celebrity chefs Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, Ludo Lefebvre and Brian Malarkey as mentors, the series debuts at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
ABC's new cooking competition series The Taste has created several multiplatform integration partnerships ahead of the show's Tuesday premiere.
ABC's integrated partnership with Hellmann's/Best Foods and Ford, along with producer Kinetic Content's trade-out partners -- Williams-Sonoma, Whole Foods Market, Alamos and Southwest Airlines -- will be featured in the show, which premieres at 8 p.m. with a two-hour episode.
“We are absolutely thrilled to have the support of such a distinctive group of advertising partners in season one of The Taste,” said Chris Coelen, founder of Kinetic and executive producer. “We believe our new series is a terrific platform for each of these brands to reach their marketing objectives with seamless integrations that will be experienced by our very passionate viewers who love all things food.”
The Taste features celebrity chefs Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, Ludo Lefebvre and Brian Malarkey acting as mentors to the show's 16 contestants. They also will judge the competitors' dishes blind with no knowledge of who they could be sending home.
so here’s a little story …
as you all know, california is a melting pot of many, many races.
so i was talking to this one asian lady about different languages & its quirks.
she told me about this quirky word/syllable in her language …
in an elevator …
a guy from the same country the asian lady comes from is waiting as the elevator opens.
he says to the lady “ba-ba-ba?” and the lady answers “ba-ba-ba.”
& he rides down the elevator with her …
sounded like two sheep talking :)
but she says believe it or not, it was a perfectly lucid convo.
her explanation:
“baba” in her language means “down/downstairs”
and “bababa” is like a present participle – “going down.”
so the question: bababa? = “going down?”
and the reply: bababa = “going down”
which, in english, is a perfectly valid Q&A when we’re trying to catch the lift, right?
but to get a lot from so little … both fascinating & funny.
i promise there is a tie-in to this story & this blog – i’m not just randomly rambling again … which do happen a lot :)
so, i guess the story came to mind cos some people say so much with just a few words.
and some, a mouthful & still don’t say anything that matters.
the people we love here don’t say very much but when they do, it’s a lot – we only have to listen.
the trolls, haters, gossip-mongers … lots of noise but nothing of consequence.
good morning to everyone!
@Kami, sorry to hear about your acquaintance who got killed.
and all the shootings that are happening one after the other – i just can’t …
@Robert, hope you’re feeling much better after the passing of your friend.
@ali, hi – hope you’re still having fun with the snow :)
to all those freezing their butts in the cold, bundle up.
i fly to new england later & not looking forward to it.
Quick stop in before I head out to brave the frigid snowy weather. A week ago I was bemoaning no snow this year. Well, I sure got a big BAZINGA from Mother Nature.
Parker,
You are very astute and wise. Were you born an "old soul"?
Has anyone read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn? I am obsessed with this book. I would love to hear other's opinions. Maybe have a book club like discussion because this book is really resonating with me with the mind games and twists and... I don't want to ruin it for anyone, but I would love to discuss with someone.
PL, I recently finished Gone Girl, interesting plot! I thought it started out a bit slow, but once it picked up speed, it was a fascinating and insightful take into that particular marriage...
PARKER I loved what you had to say, and so true. It reminded me of my reaction to the Valeria's last comment, which was "bla bla bla". She comes here and all I hear is bla bla bla.
All my snow is gone, that's the way it goes over here, comes and goes in a few days.
PL I haven't read that book, I looked it up and it looks like a good read. I will put it on my list as I have a bit of trouble finding a book I really like. I have started so many and not finished them as I just can't get into them.
Topaz I am going to try the recipe soon, it looks delicious. I wish I could share our weather with those of you that in the dangerously cold areas. We're one of the places where it' not happening. We're in the 70s. While I love winter, that bitter cold you're all dealing with...no thanks...seriously wish I could share.
Annie, I did watch the Taste last night, well my husband was watching it, he said it was on when he turned on the tv so he thougth 'why not'. I actually like the concept of the show, it's a lot like the culinary version of The Voice in a way. I also found it interesting that the majority of people who have made it through to their Kitchens have been home cooks.
Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone.
@Oneheart-HAPPY B-DAY.
@Pam/Birdie-The Following was awesome,Kevin B is really good, he sign for 14 episodes for this show,I'm hoping this show will have a lot of viewers so it will not get cancelled.Now I'm excited to see MAMA.
@Oneheart - Happy Birthday !!!!!!!!!!
Afternoon Ladies
@Holy - waves
So nice to see the drama wash away with the sun - turns out Australia has some pretty shitty DJ's with their manhunt for Rob - the fans that go along are assholes too and not really fans (I said it - yup I did). Other than that people are in a joyous mood - Happy Hump Day !!
Kenzz and Ali, I agree the book started out slowly and was too wordy but now I see it was all to set up the rest of the book. So, Ali, if you can muddle through the beginning, it is worth it. I just read that Reese Witherspoon has acquired the movie rights and she will be producing along with her partners. So it looks like a movie will be in the works.
ONEHEART. I hope you have the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!!!!!!
ALI MAC :)))))
PL. I will put that book on my list!!!! Enjoy the snow, I'm jealous!!!!!
KENZZ Yes I agree about the theraPIST :))))
GINGER. I bet you are cute in pigtails !!! Gee. I will have to remember to put that on my list of THINGS TO NEVER DO IF I DON'T WANT TO BE FLASHED
Hello Roseland,
Oneheart, Happy Birthday!! Wish you to have everything that makes you smile.
Take care. :)
@Super - they are too fun to fore go , I also have a huge nasty habit of wearing headphones with my music blasting when I am walking or standing alone....starting to think I would be the first one killed in a horror movie and I am not even blonde. I however got pepper spray so the next time I get flashed (it is my life I except it will happen again) I will get not only his face but his stump so he can enjoy the burn :)
It may sound like the most unappealing treatment available, but a small new study has concluded that inserting fecal material from a healthy person into the gut of someone with severe diarrhea may cure their problem more effectively than antibiotics.
Hmmm...I'm pretty sure I just witnessed this practice on another site and it doesn't seem to be working. Now, I think they all have diarrhea. Needless to say, the door didn't get a chance to hit me in the ass on my way out.
Good Day Roseland! I'm just rambling but, happy to be here with the healthy. Guess that will teach me to not wander when I'm bored.
PL-Thanks for the info. Guess I'm gonna have to get a copy of Gone Girl.
Oh and someONE is having a birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Pistol, I remember an episode of Grey's where a husband had to donate 'matter' to his wife because she had compromised her system by taking antibiotics she bought online. I remember thinking at the time that I knew a lot of people who might benefit from that kind of treatment since they all seemed bot willingly swallow any crap they came across anyway.
PL I have finally given in, broken down and I have had "Girl Gone" delivered to my Kindle, because I have to read this now. You've peeked my interest.
Oneheart Happy birthday, I hope you have a wonderful Day.
Super, have I told you I love your sense of humor? Well I do.
I have no idea where 'bot' came from I meant "To swallow"
Ack!! :P Thanks for the visual, Pisteuo! Don't you wonder who said "sure, lets try that" for the first time?
Happy Hump Day, Roseland! ❤
Lets just say im glad I had my dinner long over me :P I hope I'm never sick enough that that is the only form of treatment left open to me, yuck!!!!
PL it sounds like it would make a good movie. I wonder if Reese will star in it too. I am a big Reese fan.
Ewww! Who started that conversation? Hmm, should have known it was Ms. Pist.
Since you are talking about gross bodily functions, did you know if you are taking particularly strong antibiotics that it can kill off the natural bacteria in your body and the result will be diarrhea. To prevent this, start eating yogurt with Acidophillus in it and that will keep the natural bacteria active. Believe me, this is good to know.
Kami, Super, Ali, and Pist,
I can't wait until you read the book and we can have our own little book club discussion. I did mention I was obsessed with this book, didn't I?
I'm going to check the library tomorrow for a copy, fingers crossed. It's not too obvious that your obsessed ha ha, its a good review for the book though, are you sure your not on the pay roll???
PL do you remember that episode of Grey's where the husband refuses to 'deliver the goods' so to speak, before his wife promises to stop obsessing about her health and taking medications she didn't need and when she refused he said "No Pooh for you!" I am amused by that episode and disgusted all at the same time. The think I would love to know is how the first person who was told "Alright this is what we're gonna do...we're gonna have your wife go pooh and then we're going to go get some of it and put it inside your stomach." GROSS.
PL I've never seen you like this over a book, which is why I HAVE to read it.
Oh Lord, I need to slow down when typing...that should be 'thing' not think...and the rest of the sentence should have been...I would love to see how the first person this solution was presented to reacted. I think I would have ran out of the hospital regardless of whether or not the back of my gown was open and showing my rear to the world. GROSS.
Kami,
I do not remember that episode, but you are right, who decides that something like that is a viable cure?
I know this book has taken a demonic possession of me or something and I really don't know why. I think it's the psychological aspect and the reasons behind people's actions which seem totally sane to them, but completely psychotic to others. And, like Kenzz said, it is a dissection of a marriage, how each side sees things totally differently.
Would you believe I still have 30 pages to go? Maybe I'll hate the ending and I'll come back and tell you it was the worst thing I ever read.
LOL I seriously doubt that you will hate the ending. By the way it just showed up on my kindle about 2 seconds ago, I have read the first page, so far, so good LOL.
Haha!! PL-Thanks for the info again.
The thing is...those poor suckers are being told they are eating pudding and that it tastes good.
Oh well, I think I'm gonna skip fucking lunch today and have a beer instead...or two!
@Ginger-how are you girl.What's the deal with the ninnies going on and on about Moscow being part of Australia?Because when I was reading that tweet I cannot stop laughing.
@Holy - waves - I have no words for their stupidity and what they put out there - the one that made fun of Kristen by saying you can't drive from London to Moscow needs a quick geography lesson, told how to use mapquest and to be told yes you can. The one that thought Moscow is in Australia - someones school system is need of something - I am terrified to know where her school was located as she is an adult.
@GingerI-what a shame cause some of this ninnies are old.
Hello everyone
@ Holy
My hubby and I watched The Following online today and it was great :)
@ Ginger
Isn't it amazing that these crazy people can use the Internet to bad mouth and hate on Kristen but haven't mastered how to google a map...LOL
The medical discussion made me think of my hubby saying who do you think was crazy enough to let doctors from early history try an amputation, transplant or taking out an organ to see if it would work.
The fecal thing makes me as green as watching a show were they put maggots on someone's wound...OHHHHHH
Now you've all peeked my interest in Gone Girl, will have to look that up on my reader.
@Pam - it is because they made some predictions that fell flat...again. So they are foaming at the mouth and most found out they are blocked on Twitter by a bunch of people and are crying that people are mean because they blocked them for no reason - Boo Hoo, shit I have all the ones bitching blocked too - if I want to watch crazy I am sure I can find a half assed reality show that is more entertaining then they are - at least it is not the same show on repeat every day. Oh yeah and people have been super sappy for the past couple of days with picture after picture going up - happy makes them mad and apparently stupid (we will roll with that excuse)!!!!
@Holy - A few give the crypt keeper a run for it's money ( I have no idea if it is male or female)
@PL, lol my friends do think of me that way.
“old soul” is not what they call me but “too serious & introspective.”
but i’m a study of contrast to them.
reflective one moment then utterly silly the next, laughing at almost anything.
my philosophies, taste in music/books/food don’t always mesh with my gen-Y besties.
in fact, they’d be surprised at how much i got involved in the fandom & my frequent visits to RPI lol.
and about gone girl, you just reminded me …
that’s one of the books i downloaded from the app store a few months ago cos the synopsis sounded interesting & it was in the NYTimes best seller list.
but still haven’t quite gotten to reading it, had downloaded so many that i still haven’t started.
i think i did skim through it & the beginning line about the head was i thought quite interesting.
i don’t know why i put it down.
will get to it soon & hope to join in your book club chat.
@ali, thanks, you know that’s why i was reminded of that story, when i saw your bla-bla-bla post :)
@Pisteuo, so gross but hey if the “matter” fits …
& looks like for those suckers, it does to a T.
@Holy - OMG don't look at the video of the girl everyone is talking about - I have been hearing it all day and finally someone said what she did - don't look I am not sure it will be something you will be able to erase. This is so not R/K related at all.
@Ginger, when you said braids & headphones, i had a vision of princess leia :)
must be cos i was watching a movie this weekend called spaceballs – a parody of star wars.
princess vespa had a princess-leia-like braided hair around her ears & turned out to be a headphone lol.
@Pam, your comment about googling reminds me of something …
don’t know if it’s still there cos these are what developers call “easter eggs” so they come & go.
but there was a time that if you ask google for directions from taiwan to china …
you get this routine driving directions but …
when you get to the coastline, the step would say something like “swim across the pacific ocean” or “jet ski over the pacific ocean” – so hilarious …
some google geeks having fun with the google maps :)
but for the folks you’re talking about though … i have no doubt they’ll try & swim that ocean …
and as they’re drowning, they’d still be wondering why … “but, but, the direction said to jump” …
@Parker - Ha love space balls but they are way more pippi braids since I went ahead and let me hair grow out for the winter so I can do Locks for Love just before summer
Just finally had a chance to catch up on all the posts for today and can't stop smiling at most. I love this site and the people on it. I thought a good thing for Valeria might be to go to the asylum in American Horror Story. They would be more than glad to listen to her and take therapeutic action. I am unable to watch that TV show. Have tried, but too, too scary for me. Good luck there, Valeria!
@Ginger, pippi would be cute too :)
so nice of you to donate your hair for those kids.
@ parker
Hopefully when they jump in the water someone tells them to wear their heaviest cloths, coat, and shoes and put some rocks in their pockets to help them float...I think they'll believe it...lol
@ Ginger
I'm surprised they managed to spell Australia, London and Moscow, I guess that was the only subject they excelled at :)
Do you know if people are still stalking Rob's hotel ?
Ginger
When my son Zack decided after 3 years to cut his rocker long hair he sent it to Locks of Love and a couple weeks later they sent the thank you notecard and he was so proun of that he hung it on his wall amongst all his band posters. I was proud to because it's not something you expect a teenage boy to care about.
@parker- Hey, thanks for "getting it".
I REALLY need to stay off the internet when I'm bored. LOL!!
I'm off to RL adventures! Have a great evening Roseland! HUGS!!
@Pam - that is awesome - I have my oldest daughter doing it too - we figure we should spread a little ginger around :) Last time I did it was about 2-3 yrs ago and my hair was to my butt
@Parker - Locks is such a great cause and so easy for people to do - to us it is just hair but to the person that gets it means so very much more
Ohh and congrats to Tom for getting cast in Orphans - Broadway here he comes
Twilight Eclipse is on TV in my area. The bedroom scene where Bella tries to seduce Edward and he then goes through how he would have done things in his era. He proposes, she says "yes" and then he pulls her up into his arms and kisses her. I still get teary over this part. I'm just a hopeless, sappy romantic!!!
@ginger
you know that letterman started that whole london to moscow shit. she mentioned wanting to try it on her first appearance, he looked at the audience and rolled his eyes, and they all laughed at her.
guess what dave: she's right; you're wrong. it's, called the chunnel, look it up dave, do some fucking research before a guest comes on the show.
and i love how she chooses to not go on his show, she goes on fallon, kelly, the today show, but not dave. it's quite a statement when the highest paid actress in hollywood will not go on your show even when she's in town, doing promo
@Ginger-thanks for the warning of not watching that video.
@Pam-I'm glad you like it.
@Tuf-LOL,you're right she really needs to go to the asylum in American Horror Story.They will definitely listen to her in there.
I'm happy and excited for Tom for being cast in Orphans.
@Robert - yup and Rob skipped it too this go around. I am sorry but I had to laugh again LOL - I never took Dave as being bright and there he goes proving me right ! BTW the ninnies love Letterman so I am not shocked they are quoting/repeating him
@Holy - it is the You tube girl that did something God aweful you skipped right? I literally was gagging at my desk when I found out what it was - no way I will ever watch that ever.
Great post Rose.
Your posts always make me feel so calm, and remind me of what's real.
I had an acquaintance at work who liked Twilight, but she turned out to be one of the haters. Last time I saw her in the mailroom, I mentioned something about Rob, and she actually said to me, right out of the blue "They won't be together after the DVD is released." I thought "Wow, where did that come from?" Maybe it's just pure jealousy? She can't stand to see Rob with anyone?
Though, in the real world Rob looks relaxed & happy in Australia. Maybe there are no Paps in Adelaide? That would be nice. Looking forward to Rover.
All the pics from New Year's were so fun to see. I wish them both all the best in their lives.
It's fun and sometimes moving, to read all the conversations here in Roseland. Love & Peace to the Roseland family.
One quick question..since I'm new..who is Ruth?
@artemisluvv - Ruth is Kristen's publicist
@Ginger- I didn't watch that video,and thanks again for the warning.
@Holy - Hahahahahahaha - One of my friends at work asked why I was gagging - I mean I was gagging hard - and I told her what it was , after she freaked out she was like lets go tell our boss. So I went over and whispered in her ear and she screamed so loud that she hated me and why would I ever tell her about something like that and why in the hell would someone do that. That video puts that earlier shit talk to shame.
Happy day!
What an interesting discussion today. Nature works in mysterious ways.
Hey Ginger and Holy,
What video are you girls talking about? When someone says not to look, I do the opposite, ha ha. Ok, but if it's gross, just forget it.
Ali mac,
No, have not tried it with white wine yet. I'm not sure if the white will taste as good with mushrooms as with the red. It was my first time cooking it. Hubs ate up everything in the pot last night, I didn't get to eat it, but that's ok since he liked it so much. Another Julia Child dish I cooked for him a while back was Beef Bourgignon, and I recall the recipe called for white wine. Beef Bourgignon is a lot richer than coq au vin, and it takes like 4 hours to make. I will probably make coq au vin again, a different variation next time. Not sure if I will make Beef Bourgignon again, ha ha, drink a lot of wine with this one.
I have Julia Child's first ever collection of recipe books. Hubby got it for me a while back. It is very detailed and informative. She really teaches you so many things about French cooking. She even explains about the pots and pans, etc. Has anyone watched Julie and Julia? I loved that movie and so did hubs. I saw an interview of her once on youtube when she was in her eighties. Every fifteen minutes during the interview, she'd sip water out of a straw, and then continue talking, and I thought that was so cute. She died at the age of 91. This woman really lived an amazing life.
Hey DK, feeling happy today? Oh, that rhymes...heehee.
By the way, Meryl Streep should have won some kind of award for portraying Julia Child in Julie and Julia. She was excellent.
@Topaz
Considering the opposite choice, I am.
Back in my day, I had Julia's original cookbooks and learned fine cooking from her recipes, especially using wine.
She made it all so much fun and the results, as your husband demonstrated, were delectable, delicious, down the hatch really fast!
@Topaz
I saw the movie and then read the book. Loved them!
Oh thank you Ginger! You're the best.
When I read that Twitlonger encounter, I didn't know half the people the person mentioned.
But thanks to Rose I know who the dreamy, super nice, Thomas Sturridge is! LOL!
@Topaz - I will tell you what they are calling her on Twitter and your imagination can roll from there - you do not want to see the video - Tampon Girl
@artemisluvv- welcome :)
DK, I bet you're an awesome cook. I'm still learning. One time, I tried to cook a shrimp soup dish (using my own imagination) and it was a disaster. Now matter how I tried to fix it, it just didn't taste right. I was mad at myself because seafood is not cheap, and I came home from work feeling so hungry, and in the end, I didn't want to eat. I haven't cooked shrimp since. In fact, I stopped cooking for a few months after that, the desire was gone. But I am back to normal now.
@Ginger
Nice research, Sherlock. :)
@artemusluvv
Good to have you here. Have I seen your comments on other blogs?
@Topaz
No, my cooking good days are behind me. Tonight was an oven baked organic chicken pot pie with a dessert of strawberry licorice sticks. Seafood can be tricky as you found. You are rediscovering other dishes. I am toying with a bit of acrylic painting now.
Ginger,
Tampon girl? Who is this girl and what did she do with the tampon, stick it up her nose? LOL, I saw that one time in a movie with Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum, forgot the name of the movie.
******Warning******** Foul Foul
@Topaz - Nooooooooo - she ate it after she removed it for her body. She is also very proud of herself for doing this because she is super famous for doing it...............
@DK - I had to actually think about it for a minute :)
DreamerKind..thank you for the welcome!
Just started coming here recently, just a few comments on this blog or a couple others. I really like the people here on Roseland.
I foolishly didn't see Twilight until this year for the first time. I should have known there was something amazing there because of all the fan devotion. Luckily, I was able to go to a Twilight marathon at our theater when BD2 came out. Read the books of course too.
I just fell in love with RP & KS, hard to explain why to anyone, but I can totally relate to Rose's blog and the comments made here so, so much.
And yikes the tampon girl...gross. The internet causes so much craziness! LOL!
@ artemisluvv - I guess some people will do anything for 15 minutes and in this case it was anything
DK,
strawberry licorice, yummy!
hmmm, acrylic painting, never tried it.
Pencil and charcoal drawing? Have tried it one summer in college. I even drew naked models. One day in class, I had no idea what was to come, there was a platform in the middle of the classroom, and a man with a robe who stepped onto the platform and tossed away his robe, butt and front naked, posing all ways, my poor young eyes, I was shocked. And then the next day was a woman. But we drew all sorts of things. One day, I walked into class and saw my drawing posted at the front of the bulletin facing the class. When class started, I just kept staring at it wondering why it was up there and how bad it looked until my instructor had the class critique my drawing to raving reviews. I was so embarrassed and thought thank god he didn't say who it was that drew it. Anyway, on the last day of class, my two instructors did a final grade review with me and told me that I should really consider taking up a degree in Art. I laughed and said, really? because I didn't think I was good at all. I said not only do I lack talent, but I have a lazy hand, and that the only reason I took the class was to try and boost my cumulative GPA up. I have gotten As and Bs, but of all the classes I took, that was my only A++ grade, but I wasn't that happy about it. Maybe because I didn't try hard at all.
Robert and Litmom, I understand you are English professors?....
Unlike ARt, in English 101, I tried so hard, yet I never could get an A. Revised my paper so many times, and still can't get an A. Had an instructor that was so hard on grading, I couldn't wait to finish. When I found out I passed the class on the last day, and that I wouldn't have to anymore, I ran outside to the green quad and did multiple cartwheels, I was so happy to be over and done with Enlgish- with a concentration in critical reading! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ginger,
Ok, Ewwwwww! Thinking about whether I should search for her on youtube now...Tampon Girl.
Artemisluvv,
yeah, aren't RP and KS fascinating? I think so too.....they are magical.
@Ginger
So true about the 15 minutes, and the internet proves it to us everyday. :)
That is cool about Tom coming to Broadway. Just think people will be able to see him a lot if they want to.
Topaz
Yes they have a magical quality! Oh gosh you guys really understand. it's so cool to talk to those who feel the same way.
Speaking of Tom Sturridge, I watched Waiting for Forever. His co-star used to be in a FOX show called The O.C. I forgot her name. But I watched the movie only halfway because I found it so boring. He is a good actor, but I didn't like the movie.
So this broadway show that he will be doing...I hope it comes to my neck of the woods. I will go watch it.
@Topaz
Saw a documentary last night about an artist from Tenn. who has brought a fresh new perspective to Pop Art-Wayne White:
http://waynewhiteart.com/index.php?/project/word-paintings/
He said true artists are very insecure about their art/talent, like he still is/you were.
I am very sure of mine, as it's only for my fun, and has no real talent involved. Stress-free me.
@artemis
Ah, it is a fantastic journey you are taking, and hanging along here with us quite a ride, too.
@Ginger
That television show about weird eats has hardened me I see, for I am not grossed out with TG, mostly bored with showoffs, trying to show off everywhere they can. I say to abhor, ignore.
Colin Kaepernick in the news right now. Fans were waving a giant head of him in a crowd. He really has a presence on the football field.
Why do I have a feeling we will lose?
@DK - nothing can curb my aversion to gross things when it comes to eating - hair is a big no no among other things
Here is the info on Tom's Play
http://www.orphansonbroadway.com/
Tweet
Barbara Marx Hubbard @BarbaraHubbard
Feel stirring within you, a rising tide of creativity, a yearning to give your unique gift into the Whole.
Topaz
I haven't really seen anything of Tom's yet. I'll have to check his movies out.
DK
You can never tell who will win the big game, really, just have to have hope. Yes, it has been a wild ride I can see that, with more to come. More celebrations hopefully.
Ginger
Thanks for the link. "Shia Lebeouf and Alec Baldwin and featuring a critically acclaimed cast." That is a big deal for him.
DK, thanks, will watch it.
I'll always remember that drawing class because I was going through a difficult academic transition and I really needed that class to take my mind off the stress and gather my thoughts and it really paid off.
@artemisluvv - It is a really big deal for him and I am proud for him :) he seems like a really nice down to earth guy and great friend to the both - it's nice to see him doing things he seems to really like. I wish him all the best that is for sure
Ginger,
thanks for the info. Oh my god, shia labeouf and Alex Baldwin? oh no, I don't think it will play in SF or anywhere near me. It looks like it's gonna be limited to New York, that really sucks.
Shia, is he still doing that porn movie? Is this for real or a joke?
DK,
a good tweet.
I have thought about writing a script, and making a little short movie just for fun. I proposed the idea to hubs and he laughed at me and said he wasn't going to be in it. I said that's fine, I don't want you in it anyway because I know you'll just make fun of it. I said besides, you're no Robert Pattinson, ahahahaha. I have also thought about taking a drama class.
Good night, good night.
@Ginger
Yes, a big deal, I agree. I'm going to investigate more about Mr. Tom Sturridge. I have seen on this site all the times he has been a good friend to both.
DK
Hope, Shia doesn't do the whole porn thing. A sexy movie yes, verging into porn not good.
DK Ginger & Topaz..good night all, going to sleep now. Thanks for letting me hang with you guys and talk about the RK love.
Night ladies :)
@DK - smooches and hugs my dear friend. One day very soon I will feel like I am not going to lose my mind between work, the kids, and life so I can catch up with ya
Enjoyed the convos, friends.
@Topaz
Do it! Write & film it.
@Artemis
Sleep well.
@Ginger
No worries, mate. We both trip along, living life, and when time permits, laugh about things together.
@Birdie
Gotcha!
Cruising calls me.
Hugs for Rose, Smitty, Gruff, Syd, and all.
For Rob & Kristen, best wishes for all you are wishing.
Thanks to all of you who wished me Happy Birthday yesterday..So many I'm afraid to call names for fear of leaving someone out. I went over the hump in the 50 years...but hey I'd rather have a birthday than the alternative. LOL
Hope all of you have a fun filled day. It's windy and cold here today and calling for snow tomorrow. Fingers crossed that power will stay on this time. Spring can't get here quick enough.
Time to leave for work..I'll drop by later tonight.
PL,
I am in the process of reading Gone Girl, so I will give my 2 cents. It was a tad slow at the beginning, but I just hit my first "ah ha" moment. I have vacillated between liking and not liking the characters, but that is part of reading two perspectives. How true that people often misconstrue other's motives and all they would have to do is talk it out. But then.... bwahaha. More later.
I had to put my name down in the Library for Gone Girl as all the copies are out at the minute. I hope I don't have to wait long.
Why is blogger being such a bitch lately?
Try again
Birdie, I agree once you reach that "ah ha" moment then the story grabs you.
Ali,
I don't know if your libraries are the same, but in the states we have digital lending and some books are available that way. The wait is less and the book is delivered directly to your kindle or ipad. That's how I got the book here.
Here is a must watch video. Predators are now hacking the
webcams on our laptops, creepy psychos are everywhere.
http://t.co/tNwAeVYu
HAPPY THURSDAY, ROSELAND!!! RL has been a bitch the last few days and could only stop in for a minute or two at a time.
ONEHEART --- HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! Sorry I missed out on the "party" .. did you have a party? I imagine it's as windy at your house as it is mine and it feels like we're going to blow away, LOL.
The Aussie DJ's are nuts -- Rob will have to be hiding now for awhile and might have to move around from hotel to hotel like he used to do in LA. If they've started filming we might not see him anytime soon.
I'm sure that Kris will join him closer to the time of completion, I think that's the way they usually do it.
LIZ IN LALA LAND ...
PL yes you can get E books from Libraries here, but Gone Girl isn't one of the titles available :(
Good Day Roseland!!
Thought I might try to be good today. I found this amusing and hope you do too.
Prison Escape
A man escapes from a prison where he's been locked up for 15 years. He breaks into a house to look for money and guns. Inside, he finds a young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair. While tying the homeowner's wife to the bed, the convict gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom.
While he's in there, the husband whispers over to his wife: "Listen, this guy is an escaped convict. Look at his clothes! He's probably spent a lot of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain.....do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is obviously very dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us both. Be strong, honey. I love you!"
His wife responds:
"He wasn't kissing my neck - he was whispering in my ear. He told me that he's gay, he thinks you're cute, and asked if we had any Vaseline. I told him It was in the bathroom. Be strong. I love you, too."
PL planning on reading today. Ali I thought maybe Amazon would let me lend you my copy of the book, but it is not listed as a book I can lend out, but Amazon is having issues at the moment. I will check later when they've corrected the issues and if Girl Gone is a book I can lend out, you're more than welcome to borrow it from me.
Pistol, I've heard that joke before but it always makes me laugh, so thanks for the laugh.
Off to spend the day waiting on the furniture delivery guys to show up. Such fun! Have a great da everyone.
PIST
I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. I just read that to my husband also. That's a good one....Have a great day:)))))
KAMI
Have fun!
Hi ALI MAC, BIRDIE, and PL, LIZZIED, ONEHEART, GINGER and DK
Have a great day ladies
Pist,
I realize that is a joke and it's funny but I think it's also somewhat true. Modern man is not the macho all-protective man that we all think. I think they are wusses in a lot of ways. They never get a cold, oh no, it's a sinus infection. It's never a simple skin rash, but an allergic reaction to something.
And my very mature, adult husband wants to see all the fairy tale movies. I'm sick to death of fairy tales being made into movies. And of course, it's always a "darker redition". And don't anyone jump at me because this isn't a reflection on Kristen in any way.
TOPAZ. The costar with Tom was Rachel Bilson
PL. Haha. I just read your comment. I am reading a short book I found by accident on the Internet and downloaded it. It's called Have the Relationship you Want by ...hmmmm...I want to say her name is Rori Raye? Anway it explains how to have a mutually successful relationship with a man...Her basic premise...as I'm half way into it is that women are too dominating and we try to control everything in the relationship thereby that emasculates them...Men want to be the ones who take initiative and most of all they want to be respected, liked, and accepted!!!! Darn, I knew I have been going about this marriage thing all wrong...for almost 30 years...lol... I'm so glad to see your posts!!!!
Pisteuo,
LMAO!! Thanks for the laugh.
Take care :)
And, Hi to PL, Kami, Super and everyone else. Have a Nice day.
PL LOL you just described Heith to a T...he doesn't have a cold, no it's a small sinus infection...it's so odd that every time HE has a sinus infection I end up with the flu.
Speaking of fairy tale movies, anyone finding Hansel and Gretel's commercials irritating yet? I think the movie looks interesting but here, in the Houston area they are advertising it ever 2 seconds and I am ready to boycott the movie on sheer principle!
KAMI if you can lend me the book that would be great :)
PL there is nothing wrong with being sick of Fairy tales being made into movies. It's a bit of a fad, I suppose the big bosses seen a couple making big bucks and they all jump on the bandwagon.
PL, I have not obtained a copy of Gone Girl yet but, I hope to before the weekend is over. When I do start reading I will not put it down until finished probably.
How many pages is it?
The digital version of the book is 415 pages. I'm not sure how that translates to a hard copy. Maybe it's the same.
I'm starting to feel a little apprehensive for raving about the book because if others don't like it, it's kind of on me then. It has been on the best selling list for quite awhile so I can't be too far off.
Hello,I hope everyone are having a good day.
@Kami- I thought I'm the only one getting tired of seeing Hansel & Gretel and also Beautiful Creatures commercials in TV.LOL.
@Ginger-waves.
Awww PL, don't feel apprehensive. It's not like you're holding a gun to our heads or anything...LOL!!
I love reading...so, it won't be a waste in any case. I WILL NOT hold you accountable if it's not my cup of tea.
PL you can suggest a book, but unless you're holding a gun to our head you can't force us to read it, so no worries. I promise that if I don't like the book I will be honest about it, but will not blame you at all, but I can tell you that so far, although it's a little slow at first, it's actually an easy read and it's very interesting so far...keeps me turning pages to see what's next.
ok back to trying to figure out this damn furniture thing.
Oh and Holy, I'm as tired of seeing Beautiful Creatures as Hansel and Gretel. The only subject I am more tired of hearing about is Taylor Swift's love life. No offense to Taylor, but why do we have to have an update every time she begins dating? Why not sit back, wait, say nothing and then surprise is all with a song. Cause you know there will be a song. grr.
I read a review about Gone Girl about three months ago (?) in EW and thought I would like it. Glad to hear some have really liked it. Our libraries have it all checked out, even digital. I'm just going to order it on my Nook. I don't know if there are any Stephen King fans on this blog, but EW just ran article that he is releasing his first sequel ever and it is to The Shining. It's called Doctor Sleep and is to be released in September 2013. I remember when I first read The Shining. I devoured that book. Read it in three evenings. That bugs me the most that I read so fast so the experience doesn't last that long.
Kami, you asked "why reguarding Taylor S"? I'll tell you...it's the rabid fans interest and the media raking in the money...cause BullShit sells!!
Sorry....that should have read "regarding".
I'm gonna go tape my fingers together now.
just peeking in briefly …
@PL, looks like you made the top 10 list of most influential in Roseland lol.
& to borrow from oprah to rob, “would you rather” be most influential or most beautiful :)
am sure no one would hold you accountable regardless.
Pistol, you're completely right. I have no problem with Taylor S. I have a problem with the media talking endlessly about her new boyfriends. It has become endless speculation and frankly I think they need to lay off for a while so I agree.
No need to tape your fingers, but if you do and it works...let me know please, my brain works faster than my fingers and I tend to not proof read.
Parker...Nice. I can't wait to hear her answer.
Parker, you are too funny. And if you really knew me there would be no doubt what my answer would be, most beautiful, definitely.
A beautiful woman can influence just about anything she wants. And that may or may not be something that is discussed in "the book".
PL LOL. I KNEW you'd say that.
Oh, Kami, I did not even hesitate on that answer.
I ALMOST chimed in with "Please, she would choose beautiful because a pretty face gets more done" but I waited for you. lol
It seems to me that sometimes being beautiful gives people influence, unjustly so.
You're right. Absolutely right. Of course as we both know PL uses hers for good and not evil. lol
So true kami =)
Ali, Kami is so right. Those of us who are blessed with outward beauty have a responsibility to those less blessed. It's a cross but we must use the accolades we receive towards the betterment of mankind. And that is a big LOL!!!
Go Tom!

@Annie
Will you go to this show?
Hello, Roselanders! Having a good talk I see.
@Pist
Hi chica!
PL LOL
Well, I finished it. Couldn't put it down after the "ah ha" moment. Very interesting twists in this book. No spoilers, so I will withold comment until those of you reading are done.
PL,
Do you think Reese is planning on playing Amy? It would certainly be a different role for her.
DK,
How exciting for Tom! It sounds very good and wouldn't it be fun to see?

@PL, lol … you are after all a kindred spirit of rob :)
@ali, i think it could go both ways.
influential people are powerful & can make you think they’re beautiful :)
okay ladies i gotta say being the only guy around here to comment on a regular basis....between "tampon girl" and taylor swift's love life, i'm kinda scratching my head a little...but i'm not saying that i'm not entertained
o by the way, i started reading "the great gatsby again. haven't read it since graduate school, but i remember thinking it was damn near the perfect novel
LOL Robert no worries we are all scratching our heads over Taylor's love life and why it's always in the news. lol
Birdie,
When I read about Reese's producing I hoped she wouldn't want to star in it. I can't see it. I guess it depends on how old they want to make the characters because they could easily go a little younger if they wanted. So depending on how old Nick is I envision either Angelina Jolie or Scarlet Johannson. I see someone who can be sweet or icy.
@Parker, the old wolves in sheeps clothing !!
I see what you are saying, but am afraid I will give something away if I say anymore. Hurry up and read this book,ladies!
Goodnight ladies and gents xx
Night Ali
BIRDIE. I will go and see if I can download it on my Kindle shortly !!!!!
G-night, Ali. Sweet dreams!
Hey ladies, how is everyone?
Freddie, (waves)!!!
We never seem to meet up here. How's work, life, everything??
Kenzz!!! Great to see you.
I'm good, thanks. Busy with work but it keeps me out of the poolhall. LOL. I'm just back into town after meetings so I'm glad for the chance to stop in.
How are you? I saw you mention that cheer is going well. What else is new with you guys? I hope all is well.
Freddie!
So good to "see" you around here. Are you going to join the Roseland book club? LOL
Kenzz,
How are you doing? Are you having the frigid temps like I am? I saw a photo of some fountain in NY that had frozen over. It's crazy.
PL - great to see you too. I would absolutely love to join the Roseland book club. Is Gone Girl the current title we're all reading?
Freddie, things are good... Cheer is probably IB, but I hope its going well for her and her daughter...
Glad you're staying out of the poolhalls... bad crowd, as my grandmother evidently used to tell my Dad (not that he says he listened!!)
Hope your meetings were productive... How's the weather at home? Were looking to get up to 0 this week as the heat wave rolls though LOL...
Son had eye surgery recently, and came through with flying colors... tough kid! We've just procured an ATV wheelchair for him... this is one rugged off-road beast! Can't wait to have him take it to the beach this summer, but we've made a couple of trips through icy slushy terrain last wekend, and it's pretty impressive!
PL - so you guys are still in the deep freeze? It was -13 with a wind chill in Montreal this morning. I'm back home now to a balmy 14 degrees. If you're still in the cold, then it's heading our way. Oh yay!! Not!
PL:
FRIGID is putting it mildly!
Am interested in hearing the thoughts about Gone Girl... I'm still on the fence as to whether I enjoyed it or not, but I know it's stayed with me, so that says something for it!
Freddie, Yes, the book is Gone Girl.
Birdie and I have finished it and we are chomping at the bit to discuss. Like we've said, once you reach the OMG point it's hard to put down and there are quite a few OMG points.
Oh Kenzz - so sorry I mixed that up. My brain is not working - but yes, I'm glad cheer is going well for IB also. LOL.
I'm so glad your sons surgery went well. Whenever it involves the eye I always worry and feel squeamish. He truly is a tough, not to mention brave guy. That's great about the wheelchair. It must make mobility easier and it sounds safer, which I'm sure you appreciate.
It sounds like we're all in the deep freeze.
Freddie & PL,
Can't wait for Spring!
PL - I'll see if I can get the book today or this weekend and get started on it. You have me intrigued with the OMG's.
By the way, what happened to all the pecans?
@Birdie
Yes, it would be great fun.
@Robert
Gatsby! I feel the same, time for me to reread. Best to y'all.
Okay, so I was wondering what to fix for dinner...so, I was thinking how much I liked French Toast so, I got out an egg and poured myself a glass of red wine.
I cracked the egg in a shallow bowl and beat in some half&half and a dash of salt and pepper. Then soaked a slice of 15 grain bread in the mixture. I then got out a medium sized iron skillet and drizzled some evoo(extra virgin olive oil) into it with a pat of butter on med. heat and cooked the bread for about 3 mins. on both sides and put it in the 200 degree pre heated oven to stay warm while I made a sauce to pour over it. So, I added another pat of butter to the skillet and sauteed about a half cup of chopped onions, then added about 4 small chopped baby bella mushrooms and cooked them for about 3 mins. Then added a dash of the red wine I was drinking. Then added about 3 tbs. of cream cheese and stirred until dissolved and poured it over the toast and added a spring salad mix mixed with spinach and feta cheese crumbles and a big drizzle of creamy balsamic vinaigrette dressing as a side dish and another fresh glass of red wine. Yummm.
Honestly, it didn't look all that great...but, it taste good. And for dessert I'm having another glass of red wine and a left over brownie from a few nights ago.
You have to come up with a name for your masterpiece French Toast Pist. I would have never thought about using Red Wine, but sometimes the best meals are those born out of 'what in the hell do I want for dinner?'
I love savory takes on sweet meals I might have to try that, it sounds good
@Pist
French toast and red wine, are favorites of mine. Never thought to combine them with such healthy and tasty ingredients. Good show, thanks.
It's been nice to see so many people around the past little bit. In my earliest post I meant to say hello to Kami, Super, Birdie, ali mac, DK, Katy, Pisteuo, Kay, Annie, Robert, Topaz, Ginger, One Heart, LIZ, marley, Holy, tuff, beaculen, Pam H and anyone else that I've missed.
Has anyone heard from Hope? I hope she is well.
Freddie,
I shelled at least 10 lbs, probably more, got tired of them and gave the rest away.
Pist,
When you said french toast and then wine I thought, what are they smoking? But that was quite creative.
Kenzz,
It was -2 when I woke up, crawled it's way to a heatwave of 21 and now I think it's about 10. It's pretty but enough is enough.
Your son is a tough young man. It will serve him well. You deserve to be proud.
@Freddie
It's like Canada, here in Chicago, and I believe we need some freeze to kill the rampant germs around.
@Kenzz
I saw your son on the ATV on FB, and he looked so proud of himself, really delighted.
@Kami
Bet you are a terrific cook!
Kami, DK, Pisteuo - Hey ladies!
Pisteuo - I am totally impressed. And here I am eating garden variety barbeque chicken home delivery. You sure know your way around a kitchen.
Hey there Kenzz, PL, DK, Freddie, Super, Birdie, Robert and anyone else I missed while cooking.
Have a great evening Roseland!!
HUGS!!
DK - you always have a way of looking on the bright side of things. In our case, we must be germ free by now. By the way, how are the weddings coming?
