Rhathymia? I think my Uncle Bill had this. The doctor gave him some pills and told him to never eat asparagus.
Rhathymia is not my nature. Thus, I wake up in the middle of the night and watch whatever is on TV to make me fall asleep again. Last night it was half a British movie with Philip Saymour Hoffmann entitled “Pirate Radio”. It was so disturbing that I got up and looked it up on the Web and watched the rest of it. Therefore, I overslept, and that is why I’m late to class. Do I need a note?
BTW, I want to see the whole movie from the beginning.
Well, the water heater pilot light went out last night, and the Rbatherymia water this morning was frigid!!!!
Now THAT news puts me in rhathymia. The very suggestion that Romney should avoid meeting Netanyahu unless Obozo meets him first just fries my soul. Romney and Netanyahu were friends incollege, FGS.
Now what to wear, what to wear.....the blue shirt or the white....
here. finally. had to take xsteen down to union station. she had to go to NYC for the weekend for work. so 2 solid hours of aggravating traffic and construction at every turn. seriously a grown woman giving me the finger? that is so damn juvenile. i was so ready to get out of the car to rumble this AM!!
that video of the woman in Cleveland cackling about the free obama phones is HORRIFYING. that people like that are allowed to vote in his country is mindboggling. xshub was exchanging email with a dem friend of his. the other day he sent the Howard Stern interviews with obama voters. His friend replied with some SNL sketch, saying THIS is funny. xshub said, what? some actors playing roles? i sent you REAL people, who were interviewed BY A LIBERAL, those people are your co-constituents! then he sent the cleveland woman vid yesterday to say, here you go, MORE OF YOUR PEOPLE! He said how does it feel to be one of the 30% of white males voting for Obama? LOL!
We still have not determined “who rescued who.”
Oh yes...I have had doggies like that, but Linda-The-Dog is an absolute angel.
And to think that I was denied housing in a Florida “Over 55” Community, because she weighs over 35 pounds.
I am actually quite glad that happened, as I live in a place now that accepts Me, Linda, My Harley, and my Music.
I guess I am not ready for Bingo, Shuffleboard, and Line dancing just YET. LOL
That’s the movie about a Broadway show that they turned into a Broadway show and then made a movie about it, right?
yes, but NONE of the current stuff can hold a candle to the ORIGINAL.
I suppose Fox keeps him to maintain the "sane/insane" balance.
Are there any bad movies with Philip Seymour Hoffman in them?
Max (my Golden Retreiver) couldn’t even come up with an entry as a joke on this site. He never does anything wrong. Well, he’s not so good at retrieving. He quickly learned that I’m just going to throw the ball again, so he doesn’t bother to bring it back to me any more. Otherwise, he’s a perfect gentleman.
Of course the story line was preposterous! My husband worked on oil rigs in the North Sea in the 1970s and 80s. (He invented a lot of machinery and undersea pipeline connectors and was testing it, etc.) Those DJs wouldn't have lasted 2 minutes dressed like they were in the North Sea. But, it was a good movie anyway.
well julius caesar is full of Pee and vinegar. Mostly he’s a bawlbaby when he’s separated from me, we have the upstairs gated off with baby gates so they can’t go up there. so if i go upstairs to change etc. he stands at the bottom of the stairs looking up at me and bawls at the top of his lungs. another good trick is if their water bowl is empty, he picks it up in his mouth and carries it around and then drops it at my feet. no one taught him that, he did it on his own.
