Tippi Hedren wasn't Hitchcock's first choice as Marnie. He had previously had discussions with a much more famous actress for the part who had retired from film making when she got married and moved away from Hollywood to Europe. When the people of the country where she lived heard that she was intending to play Marnie, they were very upset because of Marnie being a thief, so in the end she decided not to make the film, and in fact never returned to film making. If you haven't already guessed who I'm talking about, it was Grace Kelly.

*whispers* El, I think we've got a bad rep.

We do indeed, and all because of those HTML codings posts we made

My family call me goody twoshoes in RL, so I quite like being a virtual .

I read about that today, El.

I thought Grace Kelly was stunningly beautiful and I loved her in Rear Window with James Stewart.

Good morning all. It's raining again.

I'm off to get my eyes tested this morning, I definitely need a stronger prescription.

Got some shopping to do, too - nothing exciting, just some pillows and a new mop.

El, don't go causing chaos, until I get back.

Summer, are you at work today? If so, I hope you have a good day, with nice clients.

Velvet, sorry I missed you again last night.

Good morning everyone, a cloudy and breezy morning.  I do hope that those high winds in the North and Scotland aren't going to be as bad as predicted.

 

Hope all goes well with the eye test Yogi, Summer it must be so frustrating to have the grey screen all the time.

 

Waits with bated breath to see what naughtiness our two delinquents will be getting up to today

So far there are no pictures or video clips in our postings on this page, so there's nothing that any of is have done which would explain your grey screen. I think it might be to do with the adverts that appear on these pages.

Hi everyone
I hope you are all well x
My dog has been quite sick for a couple of days, if she isnt better by Monday , it will be the vets. I am fasting her just now to see if she settles. She is drinking water, but bringing it back up. She seems well in herself tho, tail wagging and still on the go

Got a busy weekend, but hopefully chat with you all Monday .
Take care all

Summer, thank you for the brunch. I hope you get your grey screen issue resolved quickly.

Skylark, good to have you back with us. Sorry to hear your dog isn't well, poor wee thing. It's so hard when our pets are ill because they can't tell you where it hurts or how they are feeling. I hope she feels better soon.

 

Delinquents?!  I wonder who Squiggle is talking about El?

 

Got my eyes checked and did need a new prescription - 2 pairs of new glasses are ordered.

I've no idea I think squiggle is trying to distract us from what she will be up to on Monday when it's a full moon. She may turn into a weresquiggle , though cloud cover may prevent that from happening.

 

It's just as well you did get your eyes tested

Jacob Black? Who he?

squiggle

Good morning everyone

 

Skylark, that's good news about your dog

 

Squiggle, I've done a search about Jacob Black and he's a character from the Twilight series of books and films who is a shapeshifter and can change into a wolf.

 

Summer, I hope they can work out what is causing your grey screen problem. No answers yet on the postings you and I made but it is the weekend.

In our church today, the vicar had lit the large paschal candle which was positioned in the centre of the sanctuary as a tribute to all those caught up in 9/11. We get a new paschal candle each year and it is lit for the first time on Easter Sunday as a sign of the resurrection. It is also lit for every baptism service as a symbol that the old life has died and has been reborn anew.

 

Although the service wasn't specifically in memory of 9/11, it was obviously in everyone's minds. The sermon was based on the gospel reading for the day and was about forgiveness. The preacher made the point that those who cannot forgive a past wrong are wracked with anger and are imprisoned in their own world, but the people who can forgive do not forget what had been done but are free of torturing themselves and are able to live fuller lives than those who cannot forgive.

Thanks for the info about Jacob Black EL, I don't watch any of the vampire sagas or related programmes.

I've never read any of the Twilight books and seen the films either. I haven't seen either the True Blood or Vampire Diaries series, or even Buffy.

Thanks Summer, i will, she loves a cuddle. We are going to the vet in the morning, she has a lot of acid in her stomach, wont go into the details! But she is better today, just gave her some cooled boiled rice with a little shredded chicken, which she enjoyed, hopefully it stays down x

Very wise words EL, we hand it over to the Lord and we are free to live in peace, vengeance is mine says the Lord.

 

It is very much on my heart today to think of those who are suffering now from inhaling some of that toxic cloud that poured from those buildings.  Many are already retired on medical grounds and I think its probably the tip of the iceberg

I hope your dog continues to get better. It sounds as if you are doing the right thing as I found this little tip:

"After the fasting period, when the vomiting should have ceased, take away his normal food and replace with boiled chicken and rice or boiled hamburger and rice. If you use chicken make sure it is skinless, if you use burger make sure the fat is drained off. Make the rice the bulky part of the meal. Keep giving this diet until the dog seems to get better. Then, re-introduce gradually the regular food. This should be done slowly over a few days."
