The good news is I don't have a stye. I have pink eye. I have antibiotic eye drops, which is working to clear up the redness. But that means no contact lenses when we go to see Avengers 2 in 3D on Saturday
wish i could skype right nows.
I'se all alone again kathleen
can't remember what happened to Charlie X at the end. i think the aliens took him?
no one's done a 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' remake lately. or 'cat people'. or 'Dune' or 'Tarzan'
Glad it's not too serious, but that's going to be a bother. Get well soon! :)

Yeah, bummer!
I sympathize with unreasonable overdraft fees. My bank lets me "buy" overdraft insurance but I'm "going naked" i.e. "risking it". So, if I feel that I can't afford the overdraft insurance I damn well don't want to incur a $35 overdraft charge. Therefore I watch my purchases like a hawk every day and know to the penny what I have and what I'm spending at all times. :long:
Agreed, mistakes can happen but I have an escape plan. I don't have much of a savings account and I don't like to pull from it but will in an emergency. Doing it on-line in the same day usually will fix an overdraft problem before it snowballs. Which is essentially what the bank would do for me after the overdraft charge was posted, if I had their overdraft insurance. :long:
I used to think all banks were alike and any would do. But when you're poor you have to shop around. The big banks are the worst with fees for talking to a teller or walking in the door or even thinking about their money (that you thought was yours). I found a little bank that doesn't charge a monthly checking fee (which was a big issue for me), and the tellers and management are friendly and recognize me when I walk in. However, they don't give much interest on savings accounts (0.45%) and do charge big for overdrafts but other than that I'm very pleased with them. I just don't let myself incur overdrafts. I wish I'd been this careful with my money when I had some. :red:
The small interest on savings doesn't bother me. I have so little in savings that even if I could get 6% I wouldn't be able to use the interest at the end of the year to pay one overdraft fee or even buy lunch. :roll:
the old saying about having 3 months rent in savings isn't really feasible these days.
format complete! hopefully, naos can backup my ds Library.
Merry Roodmas!
I wish they'd do a film of the third book of the "Dune" series. "God Emperor of Dune" where the guy completes the transition from human to Dune worm with total prescience of future events (except that one dark corner).
What I'd really like to see is Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" series. Unfortunately like the "Dune" books, the "Foundation" books are a great deal of dialog discussing human history and politics and make rather dull films except for the people who already know the story.
read Foundation decades ago :lol: can't imagine it as a movie.
there's not nearly enough scifi comedies. Red Dwarf springs to mind.
There was a sort of comedy SciFi movie recently. I forgot the name, but there was one character that was a raccoon and another that was a tree. It was funny in spots. But I really don't care for funny in SciFi. Red Dwarf was just silly. Even Dr. Who turns me off sometimes.
Regarding The Foundation series, the original three: "Foundation", "Foundation and Empire", and "Second Foundation" were good but I thought the next two "Foundations Edge" and "Foundation and Earth" really extended the story and made a good whole series of five.
Have you read the two prequels? "Prelude to Foundation", and "Forward the Foundation"? They were meh, OK and fleshed out the full story but I don't think they were necessary.
I read the original three a lifetime ago, the final two (not the prequels) a few decades ago, and I just finished reading all seven again this past winter. After a lifetime of maturing I see a lot more in them than I did when I was a teenager. But as I implied in my first post, they are more thinking books rather than action books, despite the fact that Asimov wasn't much more than a teenager when he started them. You can see the change in technology from his first to last books written over several decades.

Next time please. :-/

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I spoiled anything. The 1st book is 50 years old, the 4th book is 34 years old, the 1st movie is 30 years old, the 2nd movie ("Children of Dune") is 12 years old, The whole thrust of the first four books is the increasing ability of the main protagonist to know more and more about the trap of knowing the future, and I didn't reveal the real secret to "God Emperor of Dune". Shall I do that now? %-P

I haven't read that book and I'm not dead yet. :lol:
Just asking for a warning, not silence, k?
Why is the bus sprinkling? Too much beer? UTI? Prostate trouble?

I think the cover art on the book tells about as much as I did.
Oh, boogers, I really borked up. "God Emperor of Dune" is the FOURTH book in the series not the third. I have not read any of the later ones.
wahhh half my rosity wishlist on sale, today only. pay day tomorrow. oh well.
I've been struggling through Foundation. It got interesting about half way through the book. The beginning was really boring. A little interesting, but a very slow setup. when I read one of my Star Trek books, I can't put it down. I usually go through one in a couple or three days. Even the hardcover ones. But this one, I've put down and gone back to it weeks later, or months.

I agree, Foundation is not an easy read. It's liver not cake. In high school, I used to check out several SciFi books a week But I remembered Foundation long long after I'd forgotten a zillion cake SciFi stories.

That I DID know. :lol: And I haven't read anything after "Children of Dune". The original novel was so amazing and full of drama, and the first two sequels read like a diary written from the outline notes for the books. And it is apparently impossible put the first book on film-it is too large in scope. I mean, LG, what would you leave out of the story?
Edit: my favorite scene was when Sting delivered the line "I will kill you!" as if someone had told him he wouldn't- oops, Spoiler Warning." :lol:
I have the same problem with "The Hobbit". :)
I have the same problem with "The Hobbit". :)
Yeah, me too. I tried to read it again a year ago. I guess it's hard this time because I'm not a 12 year old kid.
On the other hand, "The Lord of the Rings" was more engrossing the 2nd time I read it. Except for the appendicies. I simply CAN NOT get into the blah, blah, blah of the appendices or the Silmarillion. (booooring)
Another series that I read that I probably spent too much time with was the 10 or 11 books of the "Sword of Truth" series by Terry Goodkind. Interesting fantasy world but I was glad when the series finally ended with a satisfying plot twist. I think half the thickness of his books are repeated descriptions of that damn sword. And he's one of those authors who will tell you what they're going to say, twice, then they'll say it. Then they'll tell you that they told you, twice, and then repeat it in a future chapter just so you know that they said it, and in the next book will remind you that what they said yet again. :roll:
And I thought that they'd never get out of that prairie scene with the mud people. God, it took forever. blah, blah, blah... and when they went back to the mud people I physically groaned "oh, no, not again with the mud people". :vampire:
The best thing I took out of the "Sword of Truth" books was the "Wizard's First Rule": i.e. "People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to believe or are afraid might be true."
jelly beans!! they make sugar-free jellybeans, but there is a laxative warning, recommends no more than 8.
Great! You get a treat and a laxative all in one!
Should be a warning for parents though.
"What are you eating, Billy?"
"Jelly beans, Mom. Don't worry, they're sugar-free."
"Alright dear, eat all you want."
...cute. I need to do something with them again.
Yeah, right! Put just eight jelly beans in front of a kid and watch the reaction of dismay. :coolsmirk:
Let 'em have what they want. Kids need a good bellyache and flushing out now and then. It's something they'll remember. Like fire! :coolgrin: You'll save on jellybeans in the long run.
