Why do I keep seeing trailers for S. Darko on various new DVDs that have NO new footage?  (It's all clips from the first film.)  I mean, if you're going to tell me that a new movie is coming out, can't you at least wait until you have ACTUAL FOOTAGE of said film before you try to mindlessly hype it?

I want to paint something, but all my paint stirrer sticks have been cut in half.  They just left me the handles

I've heard bad, bad things about that movie, and was told specifically that no fan of the original should ever see it.

I wonder if my husband would stop picking the movie wanted to watch if he knew how much I enjoy looking at common      like I dont know he watches it for jolie.

I just couldn't understand that sentence.

As a confirmed bachelor, I'm quite proud to say that there's only one reason I sat through La Belle Noiseuse.

  When we are looking for something to watch he always picks the movie wanted with Angelina jolie and I gripe and moan about it even though I enjoy watching it because common is in it. If he knew I was enjoying eye candy as well he wouldnt want to watch it.

I had an irritating canker sore literally on the back of my throat.  I blasted it with the waterpic until it bled.  Somehow, it feels 80% better.  Don't try that at home though.

Last night at dinner, my grandmother was complaining about a lump in her throat, but refused to make a doctor's appointment to have it looked at because she's angry with her doctor because he has physicians' assistants who examine her for him, with him only coming in for the last ten minutes of an examination to supervise. 

Over the course of last night, the lump swelled up to the size of a tennis ball, turned bright red and grew hot to the touch.  Dad had to take her to the hospital at 5 am.  Turns out it's a fluid build-up due to an infection. 

The doctors have her on an antibiotic IV to hopefully shrink it -- if it doesn't clear up, they'll need to perform surgery before it becomes an abscess. 

My grandmother's mental health has been deteriorating over the last year, and she's very confused -- made worse today by her lack of sleep and lack of anything to eat for most of the day. 

She had to be physically restrained twice to prevent her from walking out of the hospital, she keeps trying to tear the IV out of her arm, and she's become downright vicious to my mother, who she blames for "cooking this whole thing up", having become convinced that the hospital is in fact a nursing home and my mother is trying to steal her house and car. 

I hope she's regained some sense by the time I have to take my turn sitting by her bed side (in case she tries to break out again) tomorrow.

That makes much more sense once I realized 'wanted' was the name of a movie.

That's a tough one, you have my sympathy, and I hope she gets better.

When my grandmother started getting bad, she acted in a quite similar way, to a point of lashing out violently from time to time. I even got demoted to 'nephew', but she did give me her car once she quit driving. On a hopefully positive note, it was clear that my grandmother was much worse when her blood sugar was low, so perhaps a few good meals will help a bit.

Part of the problem today was that she hadn't eaten anything -- she'd been taken to the hospital early in the morning and had been having difficulty swallowing anyways, and then she couldn't eat at the hospital until dinner time because they were running every three-letter acronym test under the sun on her -- MRI, CAT, etc. 

We strongly suspect that she forgets to eat sometimes -- she lives alone, and fiercely so ("I need my independence" she says) and when she does eat she eats only a tiny amount, which she chalks up to having been born the year the stock market crashed and growing up during the Great Depression.  "Breakfast" for her, is a banana and a cup of tea, and she uses each tea bag for no less than three days' worth of tea.  She's shrunk so much, and we try to have her over for dinner as often as possible because if we put a plate of food in front of her, she digs in with all the gusto of a swarm of piranha.

It very well could be that she forgets, I know some medication makes a person's sense of hunger dull. My Grandmother forgot that she SMOKED even, so thinking she may be forgetting to eat is not out of line.

Okay. Got a new starter relay & a regulator rectifier, & I'll try it again tomorrow. I'd like to pull off the magneto assembly & look it over, but the darned thing was welded on there, for some stupid reason.

[Jack]

I used to have an '82 Camaro, and the guy I bought it from had welded the transmission to the car.  Of course the tranny needed to be repaired about 4 times, so having it welded in place really cut down on the repair costs [/sarcasm].
