We Need to Stop Playing Trump’s Game
It is long past time to stop playing Trump’s game of racism, hate, misogyny, and abject greed. If Trump is elected, he will end democracy as we know it. Harris will preserve it and work to make it better and far more inclusive so we can have it, as Lincoln said, a more perfect union. It will only happen if you vote.
I remember when my son first started dating. He said he hated Valentine’s Day because every time it came around, he’d ask the current girlfriend what she wanted for Valentine’s Day, and each one would get mad at him for asking.
I told him that women love to be surprised, and that he should just think of something romantic.
But he said, “Look, I want to make her happy. I want to get her something she really wants or take her someplace she thinks is special. And she gets mad at me for that–for asking and not knowing?”
I had to say, I did see his point.
He speaks for all of us. Imagine if we were to pick wrong… I mean, part of it is paying attention to her, listening and picking up hints, etc. But it really depends on where you are in your relationship. And sometimes, you ladies can be a little too cryptic. Also, I’ve tried this the other way around, and women are often no more suited at picking up our hints, so… c’mon. Help a guy out to help you.
Khirad — My ex boyfriend used to jokingly say: “How many times do I have to think it?”

Left a message for you and Bito in Authors Cafe 1
I agree with your son, I would rather hint(specific lol) or have him ask. My husband never forgets, even if only a card. I am the forgetful one. My sister called us on our anniversary a few years ago in the evening, and we both had forgotten.
Sue, I went to Author’s Cafe but there was no cafe 1. Was it under an article in the Cafe? Now I am desperate to read it!
Actually it would not c&p over so I have to send in an email. The directions are in author’s cafe, second article from the bottom
Author’s Cafe 1. I have all the pugs highlighted for both of you. I am sure it is going to come in handy for many things.
Oh, that’s great, Sue. Thanks !!
Did everyone have a nice Valentine’s Day?
My husband made dinner – turkey and stuffing with baked sweet potatoes, and I baked a cake for him.
Sat outside on the patio reading and playing with the dog.
Very nice and pleasant day.
Perfect!
Tough Trivia! Romantic Movie Quotes
#5. Lady in the restaurant (actually Billie Crystal’s mom) during the fake it scene.
#8. I think I just said the same thing myself the other day… 🙂
#5 keeeRECT!
And #8 Sorry, sweetie!
#2. Slumdog Millionaire. I’m guessing it might be that cheesy game show announcer.
I’m willing to take some hints!!
Yep, Boomer. Ok, hints:
Number 7 was based on a real character– an entertainer.
#8 The Apartment!! With Fred MacMurray and Jack Lemmon.
#7 Funny Girl? Barbara Streisand?
BTW, Your brain seems to have me filed under Boomer’s name. 😆
My so-called brain? Gawd! I am so sorry–I really don’t confuse you, but Boomer wrote the post we are under, that’s how my brain works (or fails to.)
You notice I only corrected your brain and not you!!!
HAHAHAH== Let’s tell Whatsie.
I’m the corny one, e’cat is the brilliant one. How your brain could ever confuse the two is way beyond boomer. 👿
Oh– and you’re right. E’cat!!
# 8 starred Shirley Maclain
This cheesy guy? 😉
😆 I love her little horns! I really like this music. One of my favorite things about the movie was the music, among many other things.
I was sorta dumbstruck at how few caught the obvious Bollywood elements in Slumdog (even though I can understand if most didn’t get the particular films Boyle was emulating). I almost jumped out of my seat for the end credits dance number – it would have just been wrong not to have one. A.R. Rahman seems to compose every other Bollywood film (and did Slumdog, but not this one).
Preity Zinta is always adorable, cute horns or no. I dig crazy/naughty girls though, too. 😈
BTW, here’s Preity on the actual Indian version of Millionaire.
Oh, if only we were doing Bollywood trivia… 😆
#1 is Princess Bride, I believe
#4 is Goodbye Girl
#5 When Harry Met Sally
Damn, yer good!
#6: A Face in the Crowd with Andy Griffith?????
Nope, but although filmed in the 70’s or early eighties, this film took place in the late fifties, in the Catskills.
Dirty Dancing?
DING,DING, DING!!
Nobody guessed # 3 yet.
A small hint, perhaps?
He really wasn’t a smart man.
Forrest Gump?
One minute too slow, E’cat.
And my computer is loading so slowly!!
I know! PPOV seems to be very slow right now.
Forrest Gump?
And Javaz comes in to take the final question! YEP!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Dark chocolate and pink Doc Martens!
One of my daughters brought me Godiva chocolate covered strawberries.
Ignore this one…. 🙂
Happy Valintine’s Day everyone!
You’re a sweetie, boomer. I didn’t realize they had updated those candies to say “tweet me.”
