Did not watch, but watched the show "Fargo" last year and loved it and thought Billy Bob Thornton did a super job, they deserved to win and they did...nice!
Vintage cards are so neat! You can google them and hundreds come up for each occasion. I use them for my desktop picture on certain holidays during the year. Here's one for to get you thinking of February's holiday:
I agree! I love these old cardsOk, I wonder if any of you folks would feel the same way....today there was an insurance salesman who stopped in the office, I have never met him before today.....anyhooo he was here for a maximum of 10 minutes or less, but he used my name in that time frame about 35 times, and that kinda freaks me out!!
I'm test driving my new boots today - they have a 3" heel, I look like Lurch when I walk - unless I try to speed up and then I look like I'm pretending to ice skate. I hope no one needs me to walk outside or on the tile floor part of the office. I'll need a cane or a walker. But gosh, they are sexy boots.
Things that are irritating me today:
1) Films/TV shows that have a military character who doesn't have a military haircut or carry themselves like a soldier. Seriously: SPRING FOR A MILITARY BARBER, AT LEAST!
2) Women on movies/TV seem to live in a tank top, no matter where in the US they live or which season it's supposed to be. Sure, Zooey Deschanel, I believe that you'd be eating Chinese take out in a drafty NYC walk up in December wearing only a tank top & thin PJ pants. Sure.
3) Speaking of Chinese take out: why do movie/TV peeps always eat it out of the box? I've never seen a real person do that, unless they're scarfing leftovers before they run out the door.
4) If I have one more writing acquaintance tell me they never read because they don't have time, I might shriek to wake the dead.

Say it, sistah!
Sometimes it better look good than feel good
HAHAHA! Really? I loathe that show so much... but they obviously got that bit right
I find it disrespectful, and I've called sales people on it. If they don't know me, it's weird if they use my first name.
Do you mean Billy Bob was a presenter at the Oscars?
When I worked in retail, we were told to call people by their name. I was told to check their credit card for their name, or their ID, or any other way I could find their name out.
There is a TV show Fargo that Billy Bob is in.
I hate that. Car salesmen do it, too. It is supposed to butter you up before they put the bite on you.
Oh. I wasn't aware of it, thanx.
Fargo is excellent!

There! - that felt better, didn't it? - it's like purging - very cathartic!Things that are irritating me today:

p.s. I am eating Chinese leftovers and not in a box!
Billy Bob Thornton "Fargo"
I won't watch the Academy Awards. I'm upset that Jennifer Aniston wasn't nominated. She is more likeable than all of the women who were nominated.
But was her performance better than the others nominated (or at least one of them)?
I took my youngest son (14) to "quick care" at our local clinic this morning, he has been fighting a sinus infection for the past few days...after his appointment we were on our way to the pharmacy, he says to me "what did she say I have?" and I told him what she said, and he goes "I thought she said I had syphilis".....jeez you guys I about busted a gut!
