The Ninth Gate is one of the most terrifying horror films ever made. I won’t watch it but did see a trailer for it on YouTube. If you’ve got a strong stomach – and aren’t easily scared – you could/should watch this film. If you are easily spooked, I wouldn’t advise watching The Ninth Gate. Oh: it stars Johnny Depp. He has to be one of the best in…[Read more]

We’re on the same page, emily91! Music is a way to express emotions: such as anger, jealousy, love, acceptance, liking others and having passions… The checklist is endless.

Back to the title of my thread: looking on the bright side doesn’t mean I am Pollyanna. I don’t fool myself into believing I’m “happy”. I think because happiness is slippery…[Read more]

This is the latest shoe to die for. Found it on line at zappos. I love the tortise shell finish, pointy toe and 4″ heels. I have not bought it (yet) because I can’t decide what to wear with them. Any of you girls have an idea.

Thinking about the comedy programme “Father Ted”.

Hilarious!

I bought my sister the entire collection of Roald Dahl books for Christmas a few years ago. She hasn’t re-read them, though. But if you’re looking to buy someone a present, emily91, you could do the same? Your close friends might well fall in love with Roald Dahl all over again. Because his work shall live forever.

He was a genius.

Food allergies are on the rise. My bestie, Vicky, is allergic to prawns. Her face becomes red and blotchy and restricts her throat. Which is truly awful. She also cannot eat onions, for the same reason.

Enjoy your dinners, everyone!

My brother and I shared a Walkie Talkie. We’d go around the house separately and talk to each other. Those were the days!

We loved those Walkie Talkies! LOL. We also loved going down the stairs on an airbed. Seriously! It was awesome back then with my brother.

I’m sad to hear about your dad, TestDummyC. I didn’t mean to sound rude in my post. It wasn’t intended to be critical of your own post.

I think cassandra’s post is correct. You’ve been through heartache, too. Losing my best friend to dementia broke my heart. I’ll never forget him.

I have had the same, Marcilena. In fact, several times. I know this because I get an email asking me if I want to reset my password. I have been told by members on here to ignore said emails. You could do the same. I definitely don’t want you to leave this website.

My advice: use a secure email address. Use a password that you can easily remember…[Read more]

You must’ve seriously jumped when that spider fell onto your blanket! I do feel glad you evicted it: rather than killed it. I write this because spiders do have a right to be here (although not in your bed). They control the insect population and do good work. Their cobwebs are a little annoying BUT they are intricate works of art. Spiders – when…[Read more]

I do love the first Hellraiser. BUT only because I know the characters and storyline off by heart. I’ve watched it millions of times now. And I still never get bored. However, that is one of the few horror films I watch.

Comedy is much, much better for me. I love these programmes (although they are not all comedies):

1. 2 Broke Girls
2. Father…

I have an older father, too, TestDummyC. He hasn’t shown any “symptoms” – for lack of a better word – for his ageing. My dad is 68 now. I do worry about the day he can’t go out & about for himself. He is such an independent person. He’d hate living in a care home. In fact, my grandmother is 95 years old and still lives independently. You can tell…[Read more]

I don’t fear spiders, though: weird but true. I wouldn’t feel comfortable if there were a large spider in the room: but I wouldn’t panic or get too scared. I’d put him/her into a bug catcher and then release him/her.

This is because spiders have a right to be here: on this planet. AND they do good for the insect population. I NEVER kill any spider.

My nan LOVES Downton Abby! And she is Swedish!

A brilliant show.

All these stories of rude customer services are shocking. I haven’t had that happen to me… yet. But if it ever does I’ll just never go back to that shop. Utter rudeness.

I prefer comedies these days myself, Marcilena. In fact, my favourite comedy films are:

1. Wayne’s World 1 & 2
2. Naked Gun 2 1/2
3. The Mask
4. Dead And Loving It

I can’t think of any others ATM. But over to you!

I’ve been to the funfair many times in my life. But I seldom ride the rides: they are just too scary. Having my body jerked about to and fro freaks me out. BUT I still love the smell of hotdogs and candyfloss in the air. I also love shoot-the-duck and other games. If I ever move again I will make sure to always visit the funfair.
