Dear Rob and Kristen and George.

George Knows.


Hi George!
It feels like its been a while since I've written to you.
Doesn't seem like there is much to say, George.
I will be honest with you.

Some good news...
Bel Ami will be at the Berlin International Film Festival.
I don't know all the details yet
but this is GREAT news!
Finally.
Some interest in this movie!
Because I gotta tell you, George
I'm still wondering if I will be able to see this movie
in a theater near me anytime soon.
And I WANT to see DuRob.
Oh yes.
I do.

Completely Cute. Completely.

And are you ready for this, George?
Are you?

On Thursday, Jan. 26 in Los Angeles,
Kristen Stewart (Snow White), Charlize Theron (the evil Queen Ravenna)
and Chris Hemsworth (the Huntsman) will participate in
a brand-new edition of Moviefone's Unscripted for
"Snow White and the Huntsman"

OH GEORGE!!
Moviefone's Unscripted are the best...
THE BEST.
So cute.
So funny.
I can't wait to see Kristen interact with her co-stars!!
I can't wait to see Kristen PERIOD!

So a couple of cool thing going on, George.
A couple.

Dear Rose...

And I wanted to share a couple of questions that I
always seem to get in multiples...
I'm not sure why, George.
But I kinda went through my emails
and pulled out the most asked.

What do you think, George?
Letters within letters.
within an email 
within a blog.
Cue the Twilight Zone music please.



Rose-
Why do you persist on lying about Rob and Kristen being together?
What PROOF do you have in the 3 years you believe that they
have been in a relationship?
Not counting red carpet/on screen pictures
or obvious PR pictures
what have you seen?
NOTHING!
You and the other stupid sheep are so blind.
Give it up already.
--From Anonymous

So damn happy together.

Dear A Non--
I love this question.
I really do.
And I love how it comes with stipulations.
"Obvious PR"
Like the above picture?
or

Going in for the kissssssssss
This one?
Yeah. OK.
We have seen countless pictures of
Robert and Kristen holding hands... kissing
being all sweet and snuggly
OFF screen 

You just WISH he looked that happy to see YOU.
And people like YOU dismiss them to being PR.
That's kinda your excuse for ALL the pics of them
being all sweet and cute and coupley.

She really has a hold of him... doesn't she?

So what proof do I have?
Just that Rob and Kristen have been seen doing all 
the things couples do...
Stuff that people in relationships DO
and instead of just facing it...
You hide behind "PR".
Well...
Show me pictures of Rob with anyone else...
Or Kristen with anyone else.
Doing anything close to the above pictures.
On their own time.
Yeah.
Right.
That's why I believe they are a couple.
Because they keep acting like one.

Seriously... they NEVER look at anyone else like they look at each other.

Rose--
Are you behind BWAN and/or SillyNonstens?
They say stuff like 'ninnies' and seem to
hate the Nonstens as much as you do.
Why do you give them attention?
-- Drama Free




Dear DF--
How sweet (and rather unimaginative) of you to think of me when
reading BWAN/SillyNonstens blogs.
But do you seriously think I'm the only person out there
who has noticed the 'ninnies'?
And Three blogs/Twitter? Really?
No. This is the only blog I write for.
Although I do agree with some (not all) of what they say
And I find it amusing that they call out people
on their hypocritical bullshit
That is SO not my style.
I have never called out people by name
or made it personal.
I hate No One.
I point my finger in a general direction
and let people come to their own conclusions.
And in all seriousness?
The whole Nonsten/Robsten lunacy kinda bores me.
It just seems... tired.
I've tried to stay out of the drama pool as of late
(OK, maybe sticking a toe in now and then)
So I will leave the Ninnie stuff to the pros.
They are pretty good at making them look like idiots...
They don't need me.
Ninnie and proud of it!

How dare me.

Rose--

You are OBSESSED with Rob! How does your family feel about
their wife/sister/mother/daughter being obsessed with
an actor who doesn't know she exists?
--You suck

Rose--
You NEVER talk about Rob anymore!
You never defend him, only Kristen!
You might has well just change the name of your blog!
-- Rob lover
Dear Suck Lover--

I can't win for losing can I?
Either I'm obsessed with Rob
or I completely ignore him.
Which is it?
How confusing!
First off...
I've not 'obsessed' over Robert in quite some time.
I admire him.
I find him attractive.
I think he's adorable and funny and goofy and sweet.
I admit that I did have an obsession of sorts...
But while it might have been intense
It was also not that long lived.
Now I'm a fan. How completely boring!
And besides... I adore Kristen as well
and they are so adorably cute together.
I won't even go into the defending bullshit.
I pick what I want to talk about... or defend (as it were)
And its what hits me at the moment.
And let's face it
Kristen gets hit with way more bullshit than Robert.
And for some reason...
I feel she needs my defending more than
big strapping headboard busting Rob.
Ya know?

They never seem to get anywhere.

That's it for now, George.
There's only so much email I can look at 
without getting a stomachache.
Usually from laughing so damn hard.
I did want to touch on a couple of last thoughts though...

1. This fandom MISSES Rob and Kristen.
And they get all jumpy and irritable and annoying and needy
when they stay out of sight.
Personally...
I kinda like the thought of them all snuggled on their couch
Bear snoring next to them...
Watching some old classic movie
and eating something delicious that Kristen made.

They've had LOTS of practice. Lots.


So we have to put up with the idiots who lie
about seeing them...
And the idiots who just say shit to stir the pot.
And we have to remember that this is THEIR time.
Not ours.
It won't be too much longer.


and George...

I'm here... but I would rather be anywhere else...

2. Thomas Sturridge.
Lots of rumors about engagements
and weddings
oh my.
Will Tom and Sienna get married?
I'm not sure why that is so hard for 
me to wrap my head around.
But I do want Tom to be happy.
Wouldn't it be nice to see a picture of happy Tom?
(Yeah, I know it will be with Sienna... hahaha)
But that's OK.
As long as he is happy...
and smiling his lopsided smile.

Thanks for listening George.

Until next time.

Bye for now

  1. Exciting news about Bel Ami and some early SWATH press kicking in to gear! 3 film releases each for Rob & Kristen this year, lots of press, promo & premieres to look forward to. They will have spurts of insane busy-ness dealing with all that so its good for them to have a bit of down time & relaxation before facing the madness & screaming masses. I'm happy for them!

    Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all have a super groovy weekend! Who's your team this Sunday? Go Pats!

  2. Hi Roseland, Rose, and George!

    I'm happy that Rob & Kristen are enjoying this time together before they have to start promoting their films, and I love the way they continue to prioritize their relationship.

    TGIF!

  3. Wow, there sure are some stubborn nutters out there still....nothing is going to change their minds at this point. I'm glad Rob and Kristen are out there somewhere enjoying some well deserved peacefulness away from all the fandom crazy.

    Happy Friday Rose and Roseland....take care and have an amazing, relaxing and fun weekend everyone! :D

  4. Nice post, Rose <3

    I agree..."this is Their time. Not ours." I hope they're enjoying every moment of their downtime :)

    So happy Bel Ami will be shown at the Berlin Film Festival. That's great news!

    Hi everyone- I hope you all have enjoyed a nice week..

  5. Hi Rose,

    I'm actually amazed that you still get e-mails on the PR topic. It's just ridiculous and your response dispels it perfectly. Oh well, the folks sending those e-mails get points for persistence.

    I hope everyone has had a great week - I know 30 did. Congratulations once again.

    I would love to see Rob and Kristen together, but I must confess, I'm kind of enjoying the quiet time - which I'm sure they are enjoying even more.

    I hope everyone has a great weekend. Good luck to everyone with their football choices.

    Talk to you soon.

  6. Rose. great post as usual. I too miss seeing Rob and Kristen, but like to think of them enjoying their time together without being bothered by paps. I am sorry you have to put up with all these crazy emails you receive. You handle the situation very well..I admire you.

    Take care Rose and all Roselanders, have a nice weekend everyone.

    I miss seeing Tom also, but hope he is happy. I have mixed feelings about Sienna, but he seems to like her a lot, so hopefully things will work out for them...hope so.

  7. Hi Rose & Roseland,

    Been a long time since I commented but I never miss a post. This post was great, as usual. You always seem to say what I'm feeling about Rob & Kristen. I truly hope that they are having a nice time off and out of the limelight. I'm certain they are both busy reading new scripts and they both love to write. Of course, Kristen will be cooking!!!

  10. Hi Rose and Roseland,

    I am extremely happy that Bel Ami is going to be shown at the Berlin Film Festival!! I've been waiting for Bel Ami for a long time, so I am crossing finger that it will be released here has was said on the 23rd of Febuary. And I am also really looking fowards for the early SWATH promo. Can not wait to hear more about this movie.

    I hope Rob and Kristen are happy and enjoying their down time as well, but I miss their beautiful faces.

    Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. Take care.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Well if the word verification is off I will have to come back and say hello more often-hahaha.

    Hi Roselanders-I hope you are all well and happy. I see Rose is still writing brilliantly. Don't you all think she could write a book and it would be amazing? I'm trying to encourage her to do this. I may have to start petitioning on her street to make this happen.

    Have a wonderful weekend and stay warm-

    Syd

  13. Hi Rose & Everyone! I ran in and out of here earlier. My only thought was that I miss them too! Like Rose said, we have alot to look forward to this year with their new movies coming and all the promo leading up to them being released. I'm really excited for Bel Ami and SWATH. I can wait for Breaking Dawn 2 cause it will be bittersweet when the last one is released! We don't really know if we'll see them onscreen together again after that! Anyway, next Thursday cannot come fast enough. I can't wait to see Kristen again! I have one last comment to add about Rose's post. It's about the email about what her family must think of her writing about Rob/Kristen/Tom. I share what I read/learn about them with my family because they adore Rob/Kristen too. They look forward to what I tell them is going on in their real life together and I don't see anything wrong with that! I hate when other people have problem with things that make you happy. Why is that??

  14. Your Guess Matters

    What Happens Now

    Porcupine Tree (10 mins.):
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctHTYChevvs

    So I got all these things, but so what?
    In the end you can't take them with you
    You think you can save my soul?

    Well OK...
    Tell me, with all your conviction
    What happens now?

    Well I could be boarding an aircraft
    With a bomb concealed in somebody's briefcase
    And my body will spread through the heavens, across the sky

    And my ashes will fall through the cloudburst
    What happens now?

    Thank you/Moneycube

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'll admit...I miss them. I'm looking forward to the SWATH stuff coming up, and I imagine BD II promo will start up soon enough.

    I'm glad you find a way to laugh at the crazy emails you get, Rose, I think they would just piss me off.

    Good night, Roseland!

    ReplyDelete
  16. @Dear Rose
    I don't email or tweet you but do hold you in my thoughts, wishing you well and happy, as you make me with your posts/self. Muwah!

    @Roselanders
    It's true that I am often thinking of you and songs for you, too. But I must be inspired, for life does tend to make us not be. Yet, you know I am celebrating amidst the chaos of my world, as you do. Blah, blah, I mean I have some time and tunes tonight!

    @Birdie
    Hello, dear one, I am here.

    @Lurkers
    Hit me up.

    Between Yesterday And Tomorrow

    Petra Berger:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORU0J_EQDyo

    Between yesterday and tomorrow
    There is more
    There is more than a day

    Between day and night
    Between black and white
    There is more
    There is more than gray

    Between the question
    And the answer
    There's the silence of the sea

    Between the cradle and the grave
    There is the someone
    That is me

    Between yesterday and tomorrow
    There is more
    There is more than a day

    There's every dawn
    You've ever seen
    And everything you've ever known

    There's every hand
    You've ever touched
    Or that ever was
    Or that could have been

    Or that should have been
    Between the summer and the winter
    There's a multitude of falls
    Between the entry and the exit
    There's a labyrinth of halls

    Between yesterday and tomorrow
    There is more
    There is more than a day

    There's every plan
    You'd dare to make
    And every dream
    You'd dare to dream

    There's every word
    You'd hope to say
    All that's yet to be

    All that ought to be
    All that has to be
    Between yesterday and tomorrow

  18. Just Listen To This Bliss

    A Piece Of Sky

    Barbra Streisand:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lKmUl46wnc

    Tell me where
    Where is it written
    What is it
    I'm meant to be?
    That I can't dare

    It all began the day I found
    That from my window
    I could only see
    A piece of sky

    I stepped outside and looked around
    I never dreamed it was so wide
    Or even half as high

    The time had come
    (Papa, can you hear me?)
    To try my wings
    (Papa, are you near me?)
    And even though it seemed at any moment
    I could fall

    I felt the most
    (Papa, can you see me?)
    Amazing things,
    (Can you understand me?)
    The things you can't imagine
    If you've never flown at all

    Though it's safer
    To stay on the ground
    Sometimes where danger lies
    There the sweetest
    Of pleasures are found

    No matter where I go
    There'll be memories
    That tug at my sleeve

    But there will also be
    More to question
    Yet more to believe

    Oh tell me where?
    Where is the someone
    Who will turn
    And look at me?

    And want to share
    My ev'ry
    Sweet imagined possibility?

    The more I live - the more I learn
    The more I learn
    The more I realize
    The less I know

    Each step I take -
    (Papa, I've a voice now!)
    Each page I turn -
    (Papa, I've a choice now!)

    Each mile I travel only means
    The more I have to go
    What's wrong with wanting more?
    If you can fly - then soar!

    With all there is
    Why settle for
    Just a piece of sky?

    Papa, I can hear you...
    Papa, I can see you...
    Papa, I can feel you...
    Papa, watch me fly!

    Thank you/MrKingsRow

    What Matters Most

    Kenny Rankin:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBh6vQ6AtJQ

    It's not how long
    We held each other's hand
    What matters is how well
    We loved each other

    It's not how far we travelled
    On our way
    Or what we found to say

    It's not the spring you see
    But all the shades of green

    It's not how many summertimes
    We had to give to Fall
    The early morning smiles
    We tearfully recall

    What matters most
    Is that we loved at all

  21. Something Is Left To Give

    The Weary Kind

    Ryan Bingham:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGhPX8mHeAU

    Your heart's on the loose
    You rolled them seven's
    With nothing to lose
    This ain't no place
    For the weary kind

    You called all your shots
    Shooting 8 ball
    At the corner truck stop
    Somehow this don't feel
    Like home anymore

    And this ain't no place
    For the weary kind
    This ain't no place
    To lose your mind

    This ain't no place to fall behind
    Pick up your crazy heart
    And give it one more try

    Your body aches
    Playing your guitar
    And sweating out the hate
    The days and the nights
    All feel the same

    Whiskey has been a thorn
    In your side
    It doesn't forget
    The highway that calls
    For your heart inside

    Your lover's warm kiss
    Is too damn far
    From your fingertips
    You are the man that ruined
    Her world

    Your heart's on the loose
    You rolled them seven's
    With nothing to lose
    And this ain't
    No place for the weary kind

    Thank you/TheAQuALInA

  25. You know I just looked at her post again-I can't believe anyone would question Rose's loyalty and devotion to her family. I am sitting her seething at the fact that someone would even dare to question that because Rose is so good to everyone in her life but her family IS her life. All of them are foremost in her thoughts and actions at all times. I think its impossible for some of the idiots who write and attack her to understand that because they don't have what she has-an amazing family, a balanced life and an incredible mind that allows her to keep things in perspective. If you are working with a limited IQ it would be difficult to understand how someone can care about more than one thing at a time. In Rose's mind, this is not an issue. She's perfectly capable of tending to her family and exceeding all of their needs and writing her blog every few days. I understand how whoever writes those emails to her must have trouble comprehending how Rose does it because it probably took those haters weeks to type out their bile to her.

    Unfortunately for me and the countless others who adore Rose, her devotion to her family is unshakeable and irrevocable. If it were not for that, I would have stolen her away a long time ago and kept her for my own. Alas, I have to learn to share her and treasure the tiny bit of her that I am blessed to have as her friend. For that I am forever grateful.

    I wish whoever wrote that email could hear Rose gush about her family. If she forgets herself she will sometimes tell me about how bright her children are and how amazing they are at athletics. How they care for the people around them and are, in their mother's tradition, loyal and good, strong and brave, smart and talented. If the idiot who wrote could hear her mention her Nana and how much love they share. Any drooling on the blog regarding Robert is obviously a scant shadow of the love Rose has for Nana and the rest of her family as well. Obviously whoever wrote that lacks that type of love in their lives or they would not be so filled with hate as to try to project their own issues onto someone as beautiful, loyal, and amazing as Rose.

  26. Good morning!

    It's snowing here! Love it!
    Walked from the Eastside to the Westside and stopped at a McDonald's for coffee (they do have decent coffee)
    ---------------
    So very happy that Kristen and Rob are enjoying their downtime. Couldn't be happier for them.
    -------------

    Rose: Those E-mails, while pathetic, made me laugh out loud and laughter is so good for the soul.
    Your responses are always a joy to read. :)

    Take care everybody.

  27. Syd,

    No one deserves to have hateful things spewed at them anonymously (or perceived to be anonymously), no one. In my opinion, the Internet has dehumanized us to the point where people have forgotten that there are actually real people with feelings out here behind the icons. If we had to say the things they say on the Internet face-to-face, the world would be a much kinder, gentler place. The irrational, delusional, illogical people that send the emails they do to Rose, or post the things they do about Rob and Kristen and Tom will never be changed or convinced that the world is any different that the effed up way that they see it. Someone mentioned once that it might be possible to let them drive themselves batshit crazy....though some of them are already so far past that.

    ReplyDelete
  28. It's a beautiful weekend where I am. Hope everyone else is enjoying theirs too!

    Rose- Thanks for providing some laughs with this post. I'm sorry you get bombarded with stupid all the time!

    I'm excited for the things to come for the fab 3. They all have lots to look forward to this year.

    I saw a big poster for "Mirror,Mirror" last night at movies. It holds no interest for me. If Kristen had the role of that Snow White I would have supported her film and seen it. Glad that I don't have to though. Just my honest opinion.

    Big game day tomorrow! It will be interesting to see whose going to the SB!

  37. Smitty - When I was a kid a guy a few doors down suffered from agoraphobia. He literally never stepped foot outside his door for 3 years.

    He died of a heart attack after letting himself go to the point of weighing over 500lbs. o_o

  40. Hello to everyone,

    We're having a beautiful crisp winter day here and I may venture out to walk STFU. I have been a bit agoraphobic myself with it being so cold and no need to leave the house. As my grandmother used to say, "Go outside and blow the stink off".

    Kay, I thought you had no internet today and were out in a cabin in the wilderness?

    As for the neighbor, that is awful. Makes me sad for people like him.

    Smitty- Glad you are doing well. Have fun if you should decide to venture out!

    PL- I noticed Kay saying that there wasn't a potty either. That should prove to be interesting! Especially for a group of women!

    Smitty- glad you passed, hope you have fun!

    30 - i read about the engagement! Wo! Congratulations dear! <3

  45. SYD...

    When people LOVE you, you can do NO WRONG. When they HATE you, you can do NO RIGHT. When they DISAGREE with you they make up shit about you to discredit you...And it's alarmingly easy to do that on the computer because you are not face to face with them...

    Thank you for telling it like it is about ROSE...even though most of us don't know her personally, we have followed her long enough to know all that you say is true...and that's why we are here to support her and the trio that she supports.

    SMITTY....Hahaha...I saw ANGELICAs typo...so cute...and you know she would NEVER have meant to do that on purpose! Darn keyboards...geez!

    It's pouring down rain here today so just relaxing.....and trying to decide what to fix for dinner...lol..

  46. FIO.....I am so glad to see you! I hope you have a relaxing weekend... I saw your pretty face somewhere...can't remember where right now! do you know who Stephanie Plum is?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Super!- hi! so glad to see you too!
    I'm sorry i'm being so MIA lately but i'm very busy with uni and stuff, how are you?
    you mean you actually saw what I look like? lol
    I don't know Stephanie plum but just searched about it.
    What about her?

    ReplyDelete
  48. FIO...She is a fictional character by an author named Janet Evanovich. Stephanie is a Bounty Hunter in Trenton, NJ ...She tries to capture people...mostly criminals that skip bail. And she is somewhat accident prone...and she has a cast of colorful characters all around her...Lula, the ex prostitute who is around 200 pounds and wears spandex that is two sizes smaller than her true size, a grandmother that is very eccentric and likes to go to the funeral home and raise the lids on closed caskets, an on again off again relationship with a cop named Morelli and a mostly professional association with a very mysterious Italian guy who always wears all black, drives very expensive cars, all black, and slicks his hair back in a pony tail named Ranger. Anyway, the first book in the series has been made into a movie and it's coming out next week...it is called One For The Money....I was curious to know if you have ever heard of the series of books. It very popular over here...

  49. FIO...I did see you and you are cute as a button! was it a giff? Seems like you were laughing and smiling....adorable!

  50. Dear George,
    You seem like a nice guy, and apparently you’re easy to talk to, so I’ve got a story for you. Once upon a time, there was a girl.. who’d just learned some devastating news, and was trying to fill her free time with something that could distract her from the reality of what was about to happen. She stumbles upon a blog and at first she hesitates about posting any comments, but like everyone else, she took the leap and wrote a few words. And then something special happened George. This girl began to develop a friendship with some of the other people on this blog. It was only on the blog at first, but soon, emails were exchanged and facebook request were sent, and she started what has become some of the best friendships she’s ever experienced. Then some new people showed up, and they too soon befriended this girl. She took a risk, a chance, to let them in, and was inadvertently drawn into something she never expected. But she didn’t run away, she stood, loyally, fiercely, and did everything she could to help these new friends through what was happening in their lives.
    Then the time came when her own life was starting to bear down on her and the reality that she had tried to outrun had caught up with her. And in her darkest hours, she had a few times where she drank too much, but was assured that everything was okay. But then, without any kind of warning, the one friend that she trusted the most, that knew more about her than anyone else there at the time, closed the door on their friendship and told her to get the fuck out of his life.
    She tried to understand George. She begged for an answer but didn’t get any.
    She’s moving on with her life George. She’s stayed away from this blog for most of the last year. And she doesn’t plan to stick around after this time either. It doesn’t hurt quite like it used to.. knowing that she gave someone a piece of her and they took it for a moment, turned it in their hand, then gave it back and told her it wasn’t good enough. And there are so many unanswered questions that she’s learned to live with. But life moves on, whether we want it to or not. She don’t wish any ill will towards anyone. Only good things. She’s thankful for the good memories.. the laughter and the fun times.
    That’s all George. Just wanted you to know. Have a good life.
    Laters.

  51. Super, thanks for the summary and the tip!
    I think i'll definitely go for the read and also the movie stars Katherine Heigl who is one of my favourite actresses. :)

    Also, talking about books, I was just thinking about reading "the hunger games".
    I've heard so many good critics about it so wanted to give it a try.
    Did you read the series?

    ReplyDelete
  52. haha omg where did you see me? lol
    i have no idea where you could have...
    it will turn out you've just mistaken me with someone else lol

    ReplyDelete
  53. @Rose
    I'm sorry that you're still getting hateful emails. No one has the right to question how much you love your family. It would make me so angry--I don't know how you keep your cool.

    ReplyDelete
  54. FIO...Being that I can't recall where I saw it, I could be mistaken...if you don't have a clue about it, then surely I AM mistaken! Lol

    I confess I like Catherine Heigl but I would not have picked her to play Stephanie....read the book if you get the chance and you may agree that Kristen would have been a better choice. ( maybe she turned it down...hahaha). Stephanie Plum needs an actress to play her that looks good with or without makeup and has that... "piss and vinegar" that the director of SWATH was looking for for Snow White. Kristen has that...maybe Heigl does too, but it just doesn't seem right to me. I will get back to you...

    ReplyDelete
  55. ADD...Hi...I agree with you...Hope you are having a good weekend:)

    ReplyDelete
  56. Ahaha then i guess you were really mistaken, unless it was some stupid youtube funny videos I did with some friends of mine lol

    I guess i'l have to get back to you as well after I read the books and can have my own opinion :D

    ReplyDelete
  57. FIO...I haven't read the Hunger Games...I think PL or Olivia, or Melanie have...maybe they can comment...Did you see the movie?

    ReplyDelete
  58. FIO...I think you are right...I was playing around on you tube earlier this week. I hardly ever go there...haha

    ReplyDelete
  59. I haven't. I watched the trailer but it's coming out in April here and i'm kinda glad cause i usually don't really like watching movies before reading the books haha

    ReplyDelete
  60. Tracy: If you're the same Tracy who posted here before, I remember you having such a fantastic sense of humour in your comments.

    You were a constant here at one point and then you just weren't anymore.
    Your latest comment explains why.
    I hope things work out for you...........Don't lose that sense of fun you had.
    Take care.

  61. Hi Super, Fio, Melinda, Rhonda, PL, Katy, Angelica, Claire, Smitty, Syd, dottie, Kay, Annie, Manjen, Leni, DK and everyone else in Roseland.

    I hope everyone is having a good day. We’re actually having beautiful sunshine here (and I’m not working today), so all is right with the world at the moment. Haha.

    Syd – Rose is lucky to have such a staunch supporter and friend.

    Melinda – I agree about Mirror Mirror. I saw a trailer for it on TV and it looked more like a farce than anything else, so it’s definitely not on my list of “must-see movies”.

    Smitty – nice to see you pop by. I’m glad all is well with you.

    Fio – good luck with your papers. By the way, I've been meaning to tell you how happy I am to hear that you have a new puppy (yes, I'm late to the party)

    PL – “go outside and blow the stink off” - LOL. Hope you had a nice walk with STFU.

    Tracy – it’s nice to see you pop in. I can’t comment on your post, but if by chance you change your mind it would be nice if you drop by every now and then. There is space for everyone here.

    Good luck to everyone cheering on teams tomorrow.

    Have a good day all.

  64. Freddie- hi! glad to see you! it's been ages! thanks and hope you are fine! glad you have a beautiful day :)

    I have to agree with you two on Mirror Mirror btw.
    Also, this may not be true, but I heard that Lily Collins wanted "our" Snow White part but she was left out, obviously lol

    Super- wow, yeah! I'm notcing it just now that you are telling me. They are gone indeed!

  65. Hi all.......Hi Freddie and Super!

    It snowed here today..... I was such a happy camper. :)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Rose, when you share your emails it is just so entertaining. Although it must get old hearing the same old tired shit everyday lol. I feel the same way about Rob and Kristen, I would love to see them, but I hope they're haveing a great time spending some down time together. thanks Rose.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Hi Super - I'm good, thanks. Had a busy work week, so I'm just chilling out at the moment - checking the Swarovski website for their new spring and summer collection of jewellery. I'm making a mental list of all the things I won't be able to afford. LOL.

    How is our grandson?

    ReplyDelete
  68. Hi Annie - I keep missing you these days. How are you? You can have our snow if you want - anytime. LOL. Glad you are having a good day.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Super - I just read my post back. It should have said "your" grandson, not our grandson. LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Hi Freddie....I'm tired but good otherwise. I know I'm pretty much alone in loving the snow but Central Park is a beautiful picture postcard when it snows.

    How are you? It sounds as if you had a busy week as well.

    ReplyDelete
  71. ANNIE...SNOW!!!!!! I am jealous...dreary rain here..how many inches?

    FREDDIE...Swarvoski...Why am I not surprised! You and I would have a great time shopping together! I am so glad to catch up with some of you guys! I have been "distracted"... Lol...watching Netflix episodes of Dark Shadows but now I am going to put that on hold and read One for the Money again to get ready for the movie version and it won't be long....I hope....before I can re - read Bel Ami! Freddie, the baby is crawling and in to everything! Lol. The cutest little fella you ever saw!

    ReplyDelete
  72. Hi Freddie, I actually thought "our" grandson sounded very sweet :)

    ReplyDelete
  73. Hi ANGELICA!!!!! I love those "slips" on the keyboard! How are you today?

    ReplyDelete
  74. Annie- envying you so much now!
    Enjoy the snow for me too!

    Hi angelica! I also though "our" was on purpose :)

    i'm so stuck with listening to this song-cover.
    Maybe you will enjoy it as well!

  75. Annie - Central Park in snow sounds absolutely beautiful. Things are good with me, just work is consuming a chunk more of my time these days, so I don't get to pop in as much as I used to.

    Super - Dark Shadow, the original series?? I have faint memories of it. Your grandson sounds like a real cutie. Enjoy your book.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Hi Super - LOL! I don't think it helped that I was in a moving vehicle with a maniac at the wheel. I'm fine :)

    Hi Fio!

  79. Hey Rhonda - long time no talk to. How are you doing? How is work? Are you still enjoying the change?

    ReplyDelete
  80. Super: About four inches I'd say.
    Fio: I will. I will enjoy it for all of you. It's not snowing now and by Monday, the temperature will be around 50 with rain.

    ReplyDelete
  81. ANGELICA..lol...At least you have an excuse! Most of my typos are made when I am attempting to blog with my cell phone! Glad you are intact and doing well!

    Hi RHONDA..It's good to see you!

    FREDDIE..Yes I have become captivated by the re-runs of DS..When they were on TV, we could barely see them...no cable back then....talk about snow...lol..anyway, Johnny Depp is playing in a new Dark Shadows movie that is coming out soon...lol..A wonderful trip down Memory Lane!

  83. Sorry, my comments keep showing up twice..wtf?

    Freddie- Yes, still love my job. I'm adjusting to a slightly different schedule, but it's all good. How's it going for you? And Tomas?

    Fio- How's the studying been? I promise...no mind manipulation LOL ;)

    Super- I bet your grandson is adorable :)

    ReplyDelete
  84. Fio - thanks for the link to the video. I gave it a listen. Very nice. I can see how the melody would stay with you. Let's see if I can get it out of my head now....

    Rhonda - glad to hear it. Considering the amount of time people spend at work, it's good that you enjoy it. Tomas is fairly stable, thanks (at least as far as I know). He's overdue for his check ups - so we'll see. But so far, so good.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Rhonda- ahaha i'm over the manipulation thing, don't worry lol it's... going well.
    I'm working on a project at the moment.
    btw, if you happen to have any idea on how improving political reservations for Albanian women... that would be really helpful lol

    ReplyDelete
  86. Freddie- glad you enjoyed it. I know what you mean, when i'm stuck with a song i can listen to it for ages until i find a new one.

    i'm happy to hear Tomas is stable!
    I wanted to ask about him but didn't want to be indiscreet.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Fio - that sounds like a very meaty and very relevant topic. I'm afraid you're on your own on that one, though. Good luck with it.

    Thanks for thinking of Tommy!

    ReplyDelete
  88. Fio- I'll think about and see if I can come up with anything that will help you out..lol ;)

    Freddie- that's good to hear. I'm glad all is well :)

  89. Hi sweet ladies!

    Annie, I'm jealous of your snow. My nephew who lives in Brooklyn sent me a picture of his street, to rub it in. Just rain, rain, and more rain here!

    Super, I haven't thought of Dark Shadows in forever! I remember my mother watching it when I was little. Those waves crashing on the rocks at the beginning along w/the creepy music always scared me. lol Give that little crawling grandboy a hug.

    Hi Rhonda, Fio, and Freddie!

  90. Thanks ladies lol
    I don't know how i'm gonna come up with something that not even politicians can solve ahaha

  106. I am so fucking furious right now. I need to apologize in advance

    George I have a story too. There are lots of sides to this story. It's true that I would very much prefer not to discuss this so publicly but since Tracy chose here...well we will do it here. It's true George. Tracy was part of a big group of people who we became friends with here. She was a funny person and was very kind. There is alot I could say about Syd... He's charming and sweet and can make me crazy but he is a great listener. Tracy was going through a tough time and Syd listened and tried to help. The thing is George that Syd is not great about being true to himself. So he kept trying to listen and be supportive even after it seemed, Tracy was not being fair. She kept wanting more and more and, at the same time Syd being Syd kept trying to meet her demands. It was awkward George bc he did care about her and recognized she was hurting. But then it took an ugly turn. See George there were inconsistencies and some of Syd's friends worried because he's sooooooo good natured. And the need was insatiable. He never did ANYTHING but listen and try to be her friend. It got worse...Syd didn't like it when Tracy said she didn't care about me or if she ever talked to me again. He's loyal and that bugged him. He pulled back but he never told her to fuck off or anything like it. What's funny is that when that happened it was because Syd had some terrible things in his life happen. But Tracy is too narcissistic to consider that. She assumes it was all about her. And it got even worse. Tracy told more than a few people that "considering what she knows about me and Syd, that maybe we better think twice about making her mad.". Now George you know Syd. He's the most loyal and caring guy and he's protective. When he heard that combined with her other comments and, again everything crashing down in his life, he stopped communicating with her.

    So Tracy dont you fucking come here and try to paint yourself as the innocent victim because I won't let you hurt my friend. He did NOTHING wrong and it wasn't until all the shit you told others came back to us that he stopped. Stop sending him emails saying how horrible he is and how he hurt you. The world doesn't revolve around you and he had more shit than you can no rain down on him. You assume he was just being mean but there was more to it and you were so wrapped in your own life that you never even asked. It was always about you and when you didn't get what you wanted you started threatening us. Knock yourself out Tracy. You can't prove shit and if you try I promise a boatload of attorneys will be in your face. We've tackled far worse than you so good luck. But I'll tell you what... You pick on me Tracy and leave Syd the fuck alone because all he ever did is all he ever does which is try to be kind and good. YOU fucked it up by being so selfish and be being mean and threatening threatening us.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Rose...great post as always!

    Smitty...thanks for setting George straight.

  108. Smitty.........I feel like I have to apologize for my good wishes to Tracey. I wasn't aware of any of what you posted.

    I'm so sorry.

  109. Smitty- you and Syd have a rare and true friendship. No need to ever apologize for defending that--well done <3

  127. Hi Rhonda, Fio, Super, Em, Angelica, Dk, and Smitty.

    It seems like a bit of controversy going on here and I'm so glad I'm not in the middle of this one, lol.

    Perhaps, there is a cautionary tale here. I'm not singling out anyone on this blog because I know we are all wonderful, but we all need to think twice before sharing too much of ourselves with people we don't really know. The internet can hide a lot of personality quirks and we all need to be really certain of someone before getting too involved in someone else's life.

    I'm done preaching to the choir now.

    Rhonda, I have a young man here that could use some of your mind manipulation.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Rhonda - I blame modern technology!!
    I ended up with motion sickness from typing all the way home to distract myself, that lunatic of mine thinks he's Michael Schumacher - All to get home in time for the football results!!

  129. Hi Freddie,
    Did you keep that position at work?
    Good advice,PL.

    Ps: be careful with Rhonda's mind manipulations! she's too good! lol

    ReplyDelete
  131. PL- well, I could try, but I'm not very good at it. I tried using it on Fio to get her to take a break from school work...massive fail ;)

  132. HaHa..Fio..you give me too much credit! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  133. Hi PL - You make a good point!

    Rhonda - Can you manipulate my mind? I have a ton of work to get done tomorrow!

    "Take a break but keep studying!"

    Maybe Rhonda can mind manip my boys to clean up?

  147. Thanks guys for agreeing with me but you know I'm really not very wise. I just like to virtually hear myself talk. You all are kind of a captive audience.

    Birdie, I have not seen you talk about any new additions to your wild kingdom. Are you critter free?

  148. Freddie,
    Glad that you are liking it. I'm guessing it is less stressful now that you are acclimated.

    That preaching to the choir remark you made has inspired me.

  151. PL,
    I am embarrassed to say no. It is a long story,but I am trying to cure a kitten from ringworm. We had to have her shaved and she is one strange looking kitten. Any cat lover's looking for a charity case?

  152. Freddie - Congrats! I obviously missed that news too !

  153. Congrats Freddie!

    DK, I'd love to share French Toast w/you!

    Birdie, I am a big time cat lover. Good luck finding a good home for the poor thing.

  154. Birdie - At least this one's not a rodent :)

  155. Angelica - thanks.

    Birdie - that's very kind of you to help out the kitten. He/she is lucky to get this helping hand.

    Good news that you are doing so well.

    @Rhonda

    @Em
    You are one, goodhearted, peach of a gal, imo.

    Cheers! Well, it will be soon, for me with some sparkling Rose.

  157. Angelica,
    There will be no more rodents in this house.Haha!

    The unfortunate thing is ringworm(a fungus,not a worm) is highly contagious and 2 of my children(they brought it home) and 2 of my dogs got it(all cured). The kitten has no immunity and I am having a hell of a time curing her.

  162. Hi BIRDIE, EMILIA, PL, RHONDA, FREDDIE, SMITTY,ANGELICA, DOTTIE and DK...Good Night FIO

    Just thought I would check the landscape before settling in...

    I think I just want to say that blogging is kind of like the weather, isnt it? Stormy with giant size hail every now and then.... but mostly warm and sunny, Thank God!

    Good Evening Everyone

    Rhonda - Just pretend there's JD in it :)

    Super - Great analogy!

  164. Birdie,

    We once took in a mangy looking stray cat that had lost the end of it's tail which was bleeding and infected looking. Took it to the vet, paid to fix it up, fed it even though it was awfully aggressive towards our cat. It then promptly ran off after we put all that time and money in it. I think there is another cautionary tale here.

  165. Angelica- Ok, I'm in :)

    Super- that's cute, and very true :)

  166. I am off to read,finally finishing The Girl That kicked The Hornet's Nest". I loved Mara Rooney as Salander by the way.
    DK,
    I agree that parts of the movie were pretty disturbing,but I'll have to see the sequels.

  167. @Angeliica1
    Red is lovely, always. I've heard that Roses are being made from so many varietals now that I had to get started investigating.

    @Rhonda
    Ginger ale will cure what ails you. My sister stops any cough that creeps up on her with chewing a bite of fresh ginger root. Great for the stomach and lungs.

    @Birdie
    Take a look at www.earthclinic.com and click on the Pets section, then write ringworm. The
    missing link may be there. I have two cats and the site has helped me before.

  168. PL,
    You are so funny.But what a happy stray he was!

  169. DK,
    I like, PL have been spending money at the vet,but I will take a look. Thank you. It is really my son's kitten and I may get paid back....someday.

    I understand the need to see the story unfold on the screen. If I could separate myself from the effects of the violence on characters I love, then I could enjoy them.

    Sobbed my way through "War Horse" for the men who fight wars, the animals too, and told myself I could stand it if they did. Certainly, I did.

    As I age, I want to fill myself with the light and erase the darkness within me. I've said before, that sappy, sentimental and soft, describe me well, as I am, quirks revealed to the world.
    (Did I mention, silly?)

    ReplyDelete
  171. DK- you forgot another word that describes you...delightful :)

  172. DK,
    I am going to see WarHorse this week. I have put it off because I can't stand sad animal stories. Big surprise!

  178. DK - I'm going to see War Horse next weekend and will no doubt cry my eyes out. I'm finding I like happy stories more these days where at one time I used to love gory horror films :)

    I agree, and WH has a very inspiring humanistic pov, and redemption, which made me sad but ultimately glad I saw it.

  180. Oprah said that on her OWN network, only movies that lift and inspire will be shown, like "Driving Miss Daisy", "Places In The Heart" and "Tuesdays With Morrie". Morrie worked me over yesterday and today I am renewed.

  181. A quick **wave** to everyone.

    Freddie, very happy for you for having received the official appointment to the position.

    Smitty, Gruff and Syd, a big hug for y'all. Kindness, caring, trust, honesty, love and support of each other is the sweetness, joy, understanding and comfort that life brings us in our healty and mature relationships within family and among friends. Hold on tight to each other and you will weather all storms. Another hug, just because.

    Fio, The Hunger Games trilogy is a very quick, interesting and easy read.
    Also, you mentioned you were watching Remember Me. It is one of my very favorites. It has such a beautiful, positive, haunting message. So happy that Rob was so comitted to being in this film and also helping it to be made.

    Super, Thank you for sharing the picture of you and your beautiful grandson. What a wonderful joy you have in your life! Very happy for you.

    DK, and others getting some snow. Stay warm and enjoy the loveliness of that snowfall.

    Birdie, hope you like War Horse. Excellent movie. Brilliant acting. DK, I agree about the unspeakable insanity that war is and the inhuman misery that members of the human race are capable of inflicting upon each other and upon other living creatures and our earth.

    I was able to see The Artist today. I highly recommend seeing it. It is a wonderful, tremendously entertaining, and marvelously acted film! The music is beautifully woven throughout.
    Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo and John Goodman are all amazing.....I was so impressed by them all.

    I'm off to read for a bit. Have started Child 44, by Tom Rob Smith, and it is gripping, fascinating and so very well written.

    Have a lovely evening dear Roseland.
    Hugs for y'all.
    Life is good.

  183. Another Saturday night, and I'm doing laundry. Fun can be had doing it, when slightly blotto, I hope. BBL

    ReplyDelete
  184. First off I just want to say Rose I love reading your blogs everyday. They have become the highlight of my day the last few months. I'm a big fan of both Kristen and Rob. I Admire your ability to say what you think and feel with no worries. I'm so glad they have Tom by their side, to bad there aren't a lot of friends like him out there. Second I like how just about everyone seems to be good friend with one another.

    Thanks for being so enjoyable to read & listen to this winter season.

  185. Dreamer ur so sweet thank u! lol I'm sorry u have laundry lol I hate doing it hahaha no fun for me. Okay gotta go he wants to go out to dinner lol I know so late but whatever lol I'm kinda hungry too

    ReplyDelete
  186. Hi DK and anyone else up so late....I hope your laundry comes out well. Not so sure that doing it while pissed is a good idea. Careful with the bleach love.

    I already said it privately but so proud to have a friend like Smitty. For someone so sweet she can be a bit ferocious. In a fight I would not bet against her...ever.

    As for the rest of you-I think you are all sleeping or out having lives. Take care and enjoy your evenings.

  187. Hello Everyone :)

    Just let me say...

    George is really tired and is sleeping soundly next to my bed.
    A lot of talking does that to him.
    But just know...
    George loves who I love...
    I think it's pretty obvious who that is.

    So let's leave sleeping dogs... lie.

    No bleach used, and not blitzed yet. So far, I'm making happy, holding tight, like some others that Rose loves (you know who). Music may ring out tonight. Hold on to the rafters.
