No surprise that My Cousin Vinny is my favorite comedy.

 

One of my all time favorite movies, mostly because I fell madly in love with Marisa Tomei.

 

She has a supporting role in a new movie called "Upgraded" and she still has "it"! 🥰

George C- I always thought Moonstruck was filmed n Brooklyn Heights- maybe ?

 

helen haywood - I agree about My Fair Lady- I always liked it better than the Sound of Music. Both movies from my childhood.

 

Reading so many movie posts I thought of a few more-

 

Hitchcock- Rear Window - Raymond Burr’s character was creepy, while Grace Kelly was beautiful. Also ,North by Northwest- so much suspense !

Sally Field Movies- Murphy’s Romance, Places in the Heart and Steel Magnolias.

Mel Brooks- Young Frankenstein 

Dirty Dancing-Patrick Swayze!!!

When Harry Met Sally

Disney animated films- Snow White,Sleeping Beauty,Beauty and the Beast.

Lots of good movies !

Yes Brooklyn Hights was one of the areas another was Carrol Gardens which I lived in. I worked at A&S and spent lots of time in Brooklyn Hights bars, which was a short walk. Dirty Dancing is definitely one of my wife’s favorite movies. Loads of great movies have been mentioned, lots I have seen many many times. Loved all of Mel Books movies.

Packing has begun.  We head home this coming Saturday.  We are both more than ready, although we will miss this beautiful and Hot weather.  It will be in the 90's this week.

 

However, it turns out that we will be home in time for our Grandson Jack's Junior Prom!!  😊

Sorry, but this is an inside joke/comment for @Ocean Boy. The turtle won the race today, at least it wasn't a very far race. 😁

Thanks, I shall.

I like Annie Hall.   I’ve watched Last Year at Marienbad more than once and I still don’t get it .  We visited Marienbad and that explains the interest . If anyone understands that film please share 🎥🎬🎞️

Your photos are always spectacular.  We enjoyed our one day in Victoria. My husband’s comment was :  “ This would be a nice place to live” .

Thanks everyone for the BD wishes. We had a great cruise. On my birthday they had Key Lime Pie at lunch (I saw it on the Coastal Kitchen menu), but we ate in the WJ. I stopped by to see I they could keep a piece for my birthday for that night. I never ask for stuff like that from the crew, but it was KLP and my birthday that night! I was happy they kept a piece for me. I didn't know Mike had ordered a cake when we first boarded. He has never done this before on a ship since I/we don't need a whole cake and I'd also prefer to drink my desserts. 🍸🍹😊

 

I had my KLP and we took the cake back to the room with a couple of small plates from the WJ. Since we hadn't touched it, we asked the cabin attendant and his wife to cut 2 small pieces off for us and the rest was for them. They seemed happy, but they would never look unhappy so who knows. Hopefully they enjoyed it or shared it with others. It was rich, chocolaty and really good.

 

Before dinner in the lounge I ordered a Chocolate Martini, but immediately changed my mind to a Salted Caramel Martini. Christopher couldn't remember which one I ordered last so he made both. He put both our names in the chocolate one. Silly waiter, did he really think I was going to share it with Mike? He definitely does not know me! 😂

 

 

Sorry, I forgot to take a picture before I took a bite.

Wednesday was the anniversary of my official diagnosis. Time sure does fly!  Physically things have changed a lot.  I am not going list those changes.  I think the one thing that has changed for the better is my love of life and those around me!  I give thanks for each new day!  So much love shown to me and my family.  An example of how we have been blessed, remember me telling about our new neighbor, on her own, came over and shoveled the snow off our driveway?  Well, yesterday she surprised us with a great homemade strawberry pie!  We are still having people bringing us meals each week to help ease the burden off Sharon and to bring a smile to our face.  And what I love the most is so often I still hear someone add their name to the long list from around the world of those that are thinking and praying for us.  So special!

John, you are such a special person with a great attitude. You make lemonade out of lemons in so many ways. Looking forward to more hugs in February.

Thank you

@Sunshine3601, @barbeyg, @grapau27 , @Ocean Boy, @h20skibum, @DaniDanielle and

 @Ourusualbeach   Ken, should "something" happens to us, pls. cancel our cruises and my reservation at HI Express Cape Canaveral

 

I big thank you to Mr. President Biden for standing by us. He's a real "mensch".

 

It's after midnight and all around us people are awake. We're glued to the TV, if the air raid is sound, we're 2 seconds from our in house shelter. Hope it'll help....

 

Dani, I'm so sorry you, your family and friends, Jack's family and all the people of Israel are going thru this. Hoping it all ends soon.

Hahaha. Did I mention him bragging about punching out his hc grandson. They hadnt moved in a month and 6 or so police cars were there neighbors told me. Yes the kid has a mouth. He has flippers for hands and had a leg amputated. Son of my bil favorite who is the one I mentioned taking my stuff to sell in her store. Yes I'm sure the kid has issues, but so does my sister. He called his mom the B word and others, so big shot bil punched him, 3 times. Kid called 911 and police came. Bil had to go to court and pay a fine and was on probation 6 months last year. So brave punching a kid with amputated leg and no hands. I think there but for Karen's money goes my sister. She can be mouthy too. 

 

I told him to stop. He said if the kids mom his daughter just would punch him out that would solve the respect problem. He doesnt listen to me. 

 

He wanted to fly to maine and I said I can book it. Oh we want to fly in and just drive around. He wouldnt hear of booking hotels ahead. He wants to drive around looking for a vacancy sign. Finally they gave up. Now they want to plan a trip to ireland and just go. He keeps saying stop in a pub like tv movies and share a pint. None of them drink. No planned hotels, just go and play it by ear. I'm refusing to rise to the bait. Let them do what they will.

 

To homestead the house karen my sister needs a ID with the address on it. Last year he said he did it. Not done. House isnt home steaded. He promised to do it yesterday. I'm paying the property taxes, they dont care. He makes promises he doesnt keep. Homesteading the house is the last thing before I move. She doesnt drive so no drivers license, but texas issues a texas ID and address has to match. 3 days ago I got the rejection letter from dallas property appraisal district. He told me last year he did update her ID but didnt. His bad memory always used as a excuse. One more thing then I'm free of here.

When you move you should completely ignore him for any more requests like paying and doing for stuff for them. They sound spoiled and will keep expecting it if you don't cut them off. You have given them so much when you didn't have to and they treated you badly. You will enjoy you new life taking care of just yourself. You deserve it. Go and be happy.

Heard from my old Emirates colleagues about terrible flooding in Dubai causing havoc at the airports and the city.  Feel for my friends dealing with massive disruptions.  Been there too many times ......

Talking about weather in the UK we had all four seasons yesterday with rain and winds, sunshine and a hailstorm with big chips of ice.

Wow Sue.

I saw it yesterday on UK news.

It is not somewhere that you would normally see flooding.

39°F and partly sunny here.

I hope everyone is safe and well.
