    Anyone seen any good movies lately?

    We have been wanting to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie and I'm kind of curious about the movie War Horse. I didn't think I would like the first Sherlock Holmes movie, but was pleasantly surprised., so it's on my "must see" list. Anyone got any opinions on either movie or another movie to...

    What's on your 2012 reading list?

    I tried to set a goal for reading 50 books one year, but I think I actually only finished two. Hopefully, I will read a few more than that in 2012. I'm wanting to read the Pretty Little Liars series and the book about Steve Jobs.

    Anyone watch the old episodes of frasier?

    I was wondering if anyone else ever watches the old episodes of Fraiser that they show on Friday nights. Tonight, I've watched three episodes back to back and it amazes me that the jokes are still as fresh as they use to be when the show first aired.

    What are you doing new year's eve?

    Well, if your going by the seasons to arrive at a new year, the days get longer after the winter solstice. Things start to awaken as it moves into spring and die off as seasons shift to fall. So winter seems to make the most sense as the beginning and fall as the end. I guess it's whatever you...

    American horror story

    I guess you already found out what happened. I just read about it the other day. It sounds like the new season (if there is one) will be a new story with new people.

    What are you doing new year's eve?

    Do you ever incorporate any rituals or superstitions into New Year's Eve? I was reading an article where the author suggests banishing negative energy right after midnight. You write down something you want to "let go of" and then use a match or lit candle to light the piece of paper. The...

    Wassailing

    I have heard of it, but not as a drinking game. I know of it from the song "Here We Come a Wassailing." I've also had wassail as a drink as Christmas parties.

    Grimm

    I really like Grimm, but I keep wishing they would make it a little more "Buffy the Vampire Slayer-ish." He looks through those books, but other than a brief conversation with Morgan (think that is his name) we never really learn much about the creatures. Sometimes it just a cop show with a...

    The black dahlia

    Do you like American Horror Story? I didn't catch it from the beginning so I haven't watched it. I have one friend who says it scares her and another friend who thinks the show is kind of hokey. How did they tie the Black Dahlia's death into the episode?

    The black dahlia

    I don't remember when I first heard about her, but her murder was quite sensational at the time. They made a movie about her a few years ago. It was just kind of a mish-mash of actual events and the writer's imagination. I don't recall it being very good.

    Cookie factory

    No. I keep thinking I will find some time to make some sugar cookies, but there just aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done. I would also like to make a chocolate eggnog pie. Maybe I'll do that for a New Year's Eve party I'm going to.

    Favorite period?

    Good question! I guess the 1800s. I like the furniture and architecture styles from back then. I also like the clothing from that time period, but the idea of wearing a corset is not too appealing.

    Holistic healing

    Warm whiskey. Mix it with with two tablespoons of sugar and put a hard candy peppermint in it. I was told it would either cure you or kill you. For a sore throat, warm lemonade or warm milk with a teaspoon of ginger. The warm lemonade is surprisingly good. The milk with ginger is a little harder...

    Are you ready yet?

    I have two Christmas candles on the coffee table. Does that count? If I had money I would leave on November 1st every year and return on January 2nd. I find this time of year to be horribly stressful and find no enjoyment in it at all. Bah humbug...

    What's your favorite urban legend?

    Do you have a favorite urban legend? Although the Internet has taken them to a whole new level, my favorite one is still "Bloody Mary." It's just scary enough to be spooky and old enough that it has to have some basis in fact.

    Is anyone as sick of this one as i am

    I'm tired of that one, but I confess the posts on Facebook that annoy me the most are the ones from friends that say "please don't send me game requests." It is much easier for the person to turn off those kind of requests from their own page than it is for the friends to remember not to send...

    Changing the words

    It sounds like the school district is missing an opportunity to teach the children that words can have different meanings. I agree that it is silly to change the lyrics simply because children are giggling. Maybe they can go one step further and just have them sing the Welsh version instead. It...

    Football player positions

    I know RB is for Running Back, but that is about the extent of my knowledge. I agree with RLynn about "right" not sounding right though. It seems like maybe it would be receiver. I hope you find your answer!

    Eureka holiday special airs this week

    The animated Eureka Holiday Special was on last night. I believe it is also on a few more times this week. I won't say it is the greatest episode they have ever done, but I liked it. I'm curious to know what everyone else thought.

    Urban legends from when you were a kid

    I was about 6 years old when I was told this one. A boy wanted to go fishing so he got a shovel and dug up some worms. The creek he was going fishing at wasn't very far, so instead of putting the worms into a container, he just stuck them into the pocket of his overalls. Unfortunately, the worms...
