  1. Sanda Clause 3 is on Lifetime! They're doing a "Fa-La-La-La-Lifetime" all month. And ABC is supposed to be running Christmas movies all month too! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

  3. Funny you would mention that......... I smell a new contest in the wind! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
  4. I LOVE that movie!!! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
  5. There was a movie on Sunday called, "A Dog Named Christmas." Very heartwarming. (heart melts)
  6. It's not so much the "chattering," as I communicate here on occasion. When/What I choose, though. I can't really explain it, but I just feel sort of odd to be asked to share family experiences with a bunch of other people. I do try to stay in touch with my kids. And be "up to date" on things. But if I created a "family" only page and they had to respond to it, isn't that sort of defeating their purpose, though? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

  7. I don't know that I'd call myself an "old geezer" just yet. I own plenty of "newfangled" electronics and technology. I think maybe my attitude might be a little "old geezerish," though. I just couldn't even imagine asking my mom to step outside of her comfort zone to accomodate me, just so I only have to post in one place about my life.

  8. No. I looked at my youngest son's page. There is all sorts of "so and so did this" and "so and so fed their fish" and "who would you call?" and crap like that. It went on and on and on..........

  9. Oh, I did...and still do....when they answer their phones. But I guess they are being even more stubborn than me. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
  10. Ummmmmmmmm.........yes? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
  11. I guess my problem with Facebook is all of the crap that shows up on a person's page. I like simple and clean! People share way too much information there! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
  12. No. Not yet. I am currently working on getting Guitar Hero 5, Beatles Rock Band, DJ Hero and Tony Hawk- RIDE with the skateboard controller. But I ordered Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story- for the Nintendo DS last night. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

  13. Oh, like almost everyone here hasn't asked advice of skydivers at one time or another? Isn't that what text messaging was created for? I'm the parent and think that perhaps I should receive a little more personal way of receiving information? What if, when they were kids, I'd said, "Oh, I can't tell you that right now. You'll have to wait 'til it's posted on a website first." Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
  14. Yeah...yeah... But I owned a Wii before you did! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
  15. I have a 30 year old son who randomly calls or e-mails. That's fine, I'm not an overly demanding mother and I know that he has a life too. When I need something, I either drop him an e-mail or leave a message on his phone. But there is often a long space between my original contact and his responses. A few months ago, he literally begged me to create a Facebook account. He claimed that that way, I could keep up with his life, see pictures or other items of interest to him and get faster responses than when I e-mail or call him. I was shocked to hear that he is on Facebook almost every day, but rarely checks his e-mail or phone messages. But I wouldn't set up the account because I felt like I was his mother...and I should be somewhat special. I shouldn't hear about his life through a "chat" site where everyone else hears the same things when I do! Today, my 28 year old pregnant daughter and her husband basically said the same thing as my son did. "Come on mom. Stay with the times. Don't you WANT to see pictures of your granddaughters?" Shoot.......they even have pages for their daughters! She went into great detail about how great the site is and all the fun things I could do if I joined. She even semi-jokingly threatened to make a page for me and send me my new password! I told her that I'd refuse to speak to her again if she did. Of course, if I don't join, does this mean I won't be speaking to her anyway? My youngest son also has a page. He's almost 15. But he's a bit cooler about it. He gave me permission to use/look at anything I wanted through his page. I've always tried to be the "cool" parent and stay up with the times. But this time, I'm in a quandry. I don't do much "chatting" anywhere. Hell, I post an occasional personal subject for discussion, but I don't even use the "friend" thing here. Do I cave in and create an account? Or do I stand my ground and continue stating that I should be special and get e-mails/calls that were created just for me? (Oh God....am I sounding like my mother?)

    Chase ATM's

    I've had problems with the ATM's not accepting my cash. In fact, one time I stuck some $1's in and when it spit some of them back out, they got stuck and I had to pull them out. Then the machine informed me that my deposit couldn't be completed, but it didn't give me my money back. And it went back to the beginning screen. I got a copy of a balance......and was at the bank the next morning, politely requesting that the deposit show up on my account. Of course, they were very nice and fixed the problem. I think being able to deposit without an envelope is great. I NEVER remember my account number anyway. I've just learned to make sure that all of the corners are straight and the bills aren't worn out. I really *do* dislike having to go inside to a teller!

    Roku Player?

    My daughter and son-in-law go the XBox live route. But I don't want to have to pay any additional monthly fees. Plus, I don't own an X-Box, as I opted to have a Wii gaming system instead. Can I really rationalize buying a new system (and subsequent games) just to do Netflix? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

    Roku Player?

    They have the SD for $80. I have a wireless router in the house. Sort of figured that I'd go through that. I'm willing to pay the extra $$$ if the more expensive one is really worth the extra expense. Never having watched Blu-Ray, I have no idea of a quality difference. I believe my tv is HD, but that's about all I know about it. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance
  20. I was told that I just had to get a "Barcode Scanner" app. But after looking at some of the reviews of it, I'm scratching my head and wondering why in the world I want it? If I'm going to be scanning a barcode, it's undoubtedly going to be for something I want to buy that day. According to most of the reviews of several different apps of that type, they all complain that there's no local stores. Anyone have an opinion on this app?

    Roku Player?

    I have a Netflix subscription. Part of the reason I picked it over Blockbuster is the fact that you can watch movies straight onto your computer with no downloads necessary......and it's included in my monthly fee. I'm a little tired of watching movies in front of a tiny screen and would like to be able to watch them on something bigger, though. Anyone have any experience with the "Roku Player"? It *looks* fairly easy and would be my most affordable option. But I know that looks can be deceiving. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

  22. My kitty is the best "puppycat" ever!! She will pretty much let me do whatever I want to her! Let's just say that there weren't enough trick or treaters tonight and a friend and I had way too much spare time on our hands!
