A few people have suggested that they would like to see less negative stuff here and at least one person said he wanted to see more activity here....so...how about some light chit-chat? Does anybody have some happy news to report? Here's your chance to tell us about it...

    [quote][quote]This evening my husband and I are going to go to a friends house to watch a television show called Torchwood. It is a spin-off from the Doctor Who series.[/quote]  It's actually quite good as spinoffs go. But don't get too hooked on it. The ending of "Children of Earth", the third season miniseries, pretty much wrapped up the program by rendering it impossible to continue it without a "deus ex machina".[/quote]   Well thank you, NudeinMA for the spoiler! I will remember that if you ever say you are going to watch and enjoy something. We haven't gotten that far yet. We are watching the last two episodes of the second series tonight.

    [quote]They're all worth it. And I can't imagine the BBC letting the series go away. How they'll bring it back should be interesting. My post was just my observation re seeing the third season. Sorry if is was a spoiler. It wasn't intended to be. Anyone remember the jump-the-shark "dream season" of the Dallas series, when an entire season's events were written off as a dream by one of the characters (Pam, whoever she was)? Would the Beeb dare to do that? BTW, you should also view the new Dr Who series. Anyone remembering the original rubber-monster era of Who is in for a treat. The new ones have great stars, well-done scripts and ample production budgets.[/quote]    We have been watching the new Doctor Who series, Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Adventures in chronological order. We just finished the second series of Torchwood. All are very enjoyable.

    I actually liked the original Dr. Who. I liked the original Star Trek and Dukes of Hazzard. I watched M.A.S.H. over and over and hated it when a cast member would leave. I know most of the original shows had fake looking monsters, horrible special effects and I could tell they used the same ditch jumping scene in every episode of The Dukes of Hazzard. I still like all of the originals better and love it when there is a marathon on TV Land or something.

    I love watching Star Trek. We have the entire series of M*A*S*H and the Dukes of Hazzard on DVD. I guess we would get along with our movie and TV watching.

    That image is so appropriate !I've just let my dogs out for a last walk in the back garden before bedtime (almost 11;00pm in the UK). I decided to take a stroll with them and smoke a cigarette at the same time ..... My testicles now have icicles  ! (Tomorrow, I'll wear a dressing gown)

    Well Bman, if I thought I could shut down for a week right before Christmas I would already be on the way. But, since I cant, could you just bottle some of that warm weather and send it via pidgeon. Those shipping companies would probably just break it open and let all the warm out.

    So....did everyone get everything they wanted during the holidays? Did you spend too much money. Did you eat too much? Did you worship? Do you still recognize the reason for the season?

    Yes...lot of questions. I'm sure there are lots of answers, too. Let's hear them.

    Does anybody here know what happened to cause people to start going overboard with holiday spending? It seems that a remembrance should be as simple as saying Happy Hannukah or Merry Christmas or Happy whatever-holiday-you-celebrate. It should not be about spending yourself into bankruptcy.

    One of the reasons I spent more than I intended is my husband needed a new bathrobe as did I.  I saw some lightweight ones online and ordered one for each of us with our names embroidered.   It just happened to coincide with the holiday season.    I also ordered a sweater for him that won't arrive till our anniversary in Feb.
    Happy NY eve.

    its sad that the holidays and spending money go together like they do, we cut back more and more each year. my favorite part is the christmas tree and the holiday movies and music which get less and less each year my favorite is the christmas story with ralphie and of course we always buy a real xmas tree for the house that is still traditional for us...

    [quote]In my never -ending quest to convert my wife to nudismI had taken some nude pics of myself around the Christmas tree one evening when she was out visiting a friend.So I mentioned to her that I thought about putting a nude picture of myself on our computer desktop,sort of as one of my gifts to her her.To my surprise she actually got a kick out of that idea,so I put what i thought was the best one up on the screen and showed her Christmas morning.She enjoyed looking at it for awhile.After a few days though she wanted me to take it down,afraid some of her friends would see it,even tough I do not leave the computer on all the time.But ,hey,it was a small step forward and I thank God for that   Ken[/quote]    Does anybody else put their own pictures on their computer desktop?
