I had a strong reaction to PoW video (PTSD maybe?) so I'm giving the Waleses/KP/Palace all the benefit of the doubt. In 2016, I too went into hospital for planned surgery, in my case to have a benign tumour removed. At my follow-up one month later was told they found cancerous cells and by the...

"Waking Ned Devine": With Ian Bannen, David Kelly, Fionnula Flanagan, Susan Lynch. When a lottery winner dies of shock, his fellow townsfolk attempt to collect the money. Ian Bannen and Fionnula Flanagan are treasures. "Make Way for Tomorrow": an old 1930's film about an old couple who are in...

Most recently, I sobbed like a baby for the last few chapters of "The Art of Racing in the Rain". And "Steel Magnolias" always gets me.

I wanted to vote for Adam vs any of the actual contestants! :D

It's enticed at least one to go. Bought my tix yesterday. ;)

Just got home from the London show. Practically sold out and oh so loud! :D Loved Kaetlyn's Lost number plus Weaver & Poje's first paso/tango number ... and V&M of course. But the best part was Scott falling about 15 seconds from the end of Moulin Rouge and then going so OTT after he got up...

Speaking of warhorses ;)

Very thankful there were no media at our last family wedding! Two uncles got drunk and started a fight, police were called. :rolleyes::wall:

If you want different colours, I'd suggest for your first attempt that you use a yarn with several colours in it (like this -- it comes in many colour combinations, not just the traditional pink or blue) vs trying to change colours. Focus first on learning the stitches, keeping them even and of...

Full house every day. Some of it was the Tessa and Scott effect but SW Ontario loves its figure skating.

I'm what some people would call an fundamentalist Christian and this tweet INFURIATES me. Lt. Gov. Patrick, you may not like how other people choose to live their lives, but how DARE you rejoice in their death?

I swear for the first few bars I thought Hannah was singing the lyrics from "Every Breath You Take" to the melody from "Seduces Me" by Celine Dion. The phrasing is very similar as well. ETA: I'm 24 hours late watching this. The only performance I watched the whole way through was Laith's...

I take exception to calling ANY skater "shitty". Perhaps D&R aren't to your taste and you prefer another team; that's fine, you like what you like. You may feel they were overmarked for what they did on the ice; that's ok, but the judges assign marks, not the skaters. I find it offensive to...

There's a lot of rumours, innuendo and misinformation floating around. Who knows whether we'll ever have all the answers (and maybe it's none of our business). But we can discard the "religion being a barrier for getting hip replacements" statements in the Daily Fail and other newspapers. See...

Thanks to a post in the RIP Prince thread, I'm listening to his cover of "A Case of You" by Joni Mitchell. It's just beautiful.
