While I know that it has been said (by Tom Hanks in "You've Got Mail") "It is the source of all knowledge, the E Ching, the Godfather has all you need to know what to pack the gun or the Cannoli - leave the gun, take the Cannoli." I still found it to be a little bit of story and a lot of violence.

Gone With the Wind has enough action to keep you watching in the first half while the second half becomes more of a soap opera - it does have Clark Gable and in a small role Superman himself (George Reeves) so it can't be all bad.

I tend to lean more towards a film that is a bit more to the middle - I'm surprised Mia didn't think of this one.

Casablanca!

Love ya,

Most certainly GWTW for me, Mia!

It has just the right amount of action, drama, love interest...etc...

I really don't like people getting shot between the eyes of having their hand stuck to a bar with a knife! YUCK!

And I use imdb all the time!

We'll be watching a DVD and say "Who is that?"

So I'll run into the bedroom and pull up imdb and see who is in the cast! Lots of great info!

HUGGS!

Mia, thanks for the link - I don't know whether to say, "Here's Looking at you.kid" or "This could be the start of a beautiful friendship." :lol:

Love ya,

GWTW!

What are you thinking! I LIVE that life here and now - fifth generation. HONEY, it was a beautifully crafted epic about howa we survived the War of Northern Aggression! We hearah in the South lost the world as it should have been.

Godfather? WAAAAAY down the line.

My next was Casablanca of course - and 'We will always have Paris!'

Maybe the Tom Hanks movies - Sleepless in Seatle at the top - I cry at the end when he takes her hand!

Fargo for the skewed humor and 'apathy in the snow presentation.' Isn't Fargo consistantly the coldest place in the lower 48 states?

Maybe Fantasia next - for the audacity of combining animation with beauty in music, resulting in a EARLY animated masterpiece

Alice in Wonderland (first movie I ever saw)

And the usual Juila Roberts - once Pretty Woman was my favotite but now I like Erica Braunovich (sp?)

And then anything sci-fi - even the cheezy stuff - but the horror story 'Alien!'

And Kevin Bacon stuff, and Johnny Depp, and Catherine Zetta Jones (I identify with her - Weslh roots) and Angeline Joule (audacity of that woman is amazing!) and my birthday mate - Judy Garland in - of course - Wizard of Oz.

Then maybe the violent stuff - especially the three Spegetti Weasterns of Clint Easterwood.

OH OH OH - Robin Williams in What Dreams May Come? is that right... oh my

Anyway - Godfather was great - just not me.

Frankly, my dear (Mia), I don't give a d*mn! :P

I love the first Godfather movie, the second not so much, the third...boorrring.

GWTW, its a great story, but a little overlong for me. Love the costumes, though!

Every time I see that scene where she makes a dress out of the drapes, I start

laughing thinking about Carol Burnett;s hilarious parody. If it's on Youtube,

I hope someone posts a link. Its a comedy classic.

Thanks for the post Mia!

The part with all the dancing hippos and ostriches scared me half to death as a child. I had nightmares for years afterwords.

And GWTW is the single greatest movie in cinematic history. Clark Gable- so awesome.

Never saw Godfather though.

Well, it turns out I am different once again. I picked Godfather. I liked the whole trilogy, and I never did like Gone With the Wind. Casablanca takes both of them easily tho. My favorite is Love Actually. Pretty Woman and The American President remain two of my very favorites, also Dave. Donna has ~700 published DVDs and countless movies burned off the satellite service. Out of all of them, I have perhaps 30 that I really like and will watch repeatedly in our theatre. My choices are almost all romantic comedies (e.g. Two Weeks Notice, and several other Hugh Grant vehicles, Cary Grant, Doris Day, Renee Zellwegger...) I just never did like GWTW.

The comment about Clark Gable? Never did it for me, but I tease Donna that Pierce Brosnan could turn me straight, and she doesn't comment, knowing it could be true!

Oh Mia,

I really do love girly movies but the Godfather really is a classic I

would bring with me to my" desert island". I really am an odd one

I suppose :rolleyes: , Luv, viv :)

Since it's one or the other, Gone With the Wind. The first Godfather was the best of that franchise, and probably the best gangster movie. GWTW has it's flaws, the happy dedicated blacks, the mostly upstanding plantation owners (and slave owners remember). And certainly Scarlet turned into a tough broad when the need arose, but frankly, my dear whomever, (could't resist, everyone else used it) not at all a likeable person. Rhett was about the only one I could like; ahh, Clark Gable, the oldies are the goodies. No one in the Godfather was worth a dang, and I cleaned that up for the filters. I need one or persons to care about, good story line or not.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      Go Cleveland Guardians!  I love baseball and I loved playing it when I was younger.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
