fresh 17lb turkey to cook. It is going to have a gluten free stuffing

green beans. Desserts will be apple pie and a gluten free apple

Is your sister-in-law's flight a direct one to your city? The furthest
I've flown is to Las Vegas, which was four hours, so how much longer is
her flight from Cally-forn I A, to home?

October is a good month. There's scary movies on TV and you guys get to eat food with your family. Americans have to spread that out betwixt 2 months. We get out turkey day on a Thursday. There's no godly reason for that but Americans like it because a lot of them will take Friday off work - da lazy bums!

Yeah, they start rolling out those horror movies around the middle of the month. TCM is good for a lot of the old black & white 1950's movies.
"Them" was on about a week or so ago and it will probably make the round again in a few weeks. "Night of the Demon" is another 1950's fright
movie.
Where I worked, the company was also closed on Friday after Thanksgiving.
If I were scheduled for the weekend, I'd take Saturday off and it would
give me almost two weeks off with using only one day of vacation.
Seniority was a wonderful thing! 😁

That's a bit of a drag for me. I have satellite TV and get the movie stations. There are almost non stop horror movies. I am not a fan of

I worked a four day work week so I had a three day weekend most
weekends, but sometimes I had to switch around so I would have a two day weekend but the next week I would have a four day weekend. Occasionally those things came on holiday weekends and I would get 5 days off and no holiday credits involved. .

We usually split them in half, use an ice cream scoop to remove the
seeds and roast them. Then the flesh can be removed with a spoon.

I deconstructed a soup recipe from a jar of soup my wife bought for me
one day. It was butternut squash with chipotle and maple syrup. It was fantastic.

I've never cooked a Delicata squash. Not sure why one would need to
peel it. For hard-shelled winter squash I use a clever to split it in
half and a spoon to remove the seeds before roasting it. Delicata seems
to be an in between soft and hard shelled squash.

I don't normally sweeten butternut squash but I had tried that soup
she bought me and it was so good I had to try making it. I used just
enough maple syrup to give it a hint of flavour, not enough to sweeten it.

Glad you enjoyed it! My signature Roasted Butternut Squash soup is more savory. No sugar, no syrup. Tarragon leaves. Totally different.

I came across it a couple weeks ago on TMC and would have watched it but
it was half over. I did a search to see it is would be repeated in the
near future so I could PVR it.

October is a good month. There's scary movies on TV and you guys get to eat food with your family. Americans have to spread that out betwixt 2 months. We get out turkey day on a Thursday. There's no godly reason for that but Americans like it because a lot of them will take Friday off work - da lazy bums!
Yeah, they start rolling out those horror movies around the middle of the month. TCM is good for a lot of the old black & white 1950's movies.
"Them" was on about a week or so ago and it will probably make the round again in a few weeks. "Night of the Demon" is another 1950's fright
movie.
Where I worked, the company was also closed on Friday after Thanksgiving.
If I were scheduled for the weekend, I'd take Saturday off and it would
give me almost two weeks off with using only one day of vacation.
Seniority was a wonderful thing! 😁

Night of the Demon AKA, Curse of the Demon is a movie that I'll have to dig up.
I've never watched it but that image of a giant devil monster emerging out of the
night is one heck of an image.

We're not that fond of Stallone. We had a brief run of Jason Statham, >recently.
Over the summer, we watched a bunch of WWII movies, then started on
the Cold War. Our viewing of The Bedford Incident last week
was a belated continuation of that.

Niall McGinnis. If I remember correctly, he was a staff doctor at a hospital and went into acting for several years. Gave up acting and went back to being
a staff doctor.
I'm sure he was in many movies, but I remember him in "The Nun's Story" with Audrey Hepburn. He was the fallen priest who found his way back to the church
and asked to be the doctor of a leper colony in Africa for penitence.

Dana Andrews was still a heavy, heavy drinker at that time and had not conquered that problem for at least another 10 years or so.
Catch him in "The Best Years of Lives" and "Laura" amongst his many films.

You might be right but the reality is that the American guitar market is being

So, what's the value of an adjusted dollar? How many (or few)

Since the movie takes place in 2179, my guess is that 42 million dollars would be
a few million in adjusted dollars. A loco moco would probably cost a few hundred
dollars. Of course, there won't be any real beef in 2179.
Jeanette Goldstein wasn't a real Latina or even a real actor.
My guess is that
she got the part because she could actually do those chin-ups and whatever you call
that behind your head thing i.e., she had the right physicality.

According to IMDB, Aliens was her first movie role. When is one technically able

Sites like that don't always have as much information on actors as you
might hope. They don't usually include the stage work and commercials
that actors do in their journey to a career in film. I just looked up my sister in law's profile and it only showed about a dozen of the films
she was in, none of her stage roles or commercials, an commercials had
been her bread and butter for years. My niece's profile only shows one
of her roles but she had been in enough roles to pay her way through school.
My wife's cousin was a full time actor for more than 50 years. He has
only about a dozen movies and TV shows listed on his profile. He was primarily a stage actor and spent 50 years with the Shaw Festival
appearing in 3-4 roles each season. He also did a lot of commercials but none of those are mentioned.
My SiL's ex husband is one of the busiest actors in the country. His
profile lists about 230 TV and movie roles. In his early days he did
theater and commercials. He was an actor the whole time but that early
stuff is not included in IMDB.

Let me tell you how happy we are that we imposed a 100% tariff on
Chinese electric cars to support the American effort. We ended up facing China's wrath for doing that and they stopped buying our canola. Now
Trump is offering better trade deals to China than to us. Now the US is upset that we slashed those tariffs but capped the number of cars we
will import from them. >

Since the movie takes place in 2179, my guess is that 42 million dollars would be
a few million in adjusted dollars. A loco moco would probably cost a few hundred
dollars. Of course, there won't be any real beef in 2179.
Jeanette Goldstein wasn't a real Latina or even a real actor.
What is a real actor? She studied at the Webber Douglas Academy of
Dramatic Art in London and Circle in the Square Theatre School in New
York City.
My guess is that
she got the part because she could actually do those chin-ups and whatever you call
that behind your head thing i.e., she had the right physicality.
Behind-the-neck pull-ups.
According to IMDB, Aliens was her first movie role. When is one technically able
to call yourself an actor? One movie? Two movies? When you join the actors union?
Beats me - does it really matter? To some people, it does.

Aren't the biggest American movies Casablanca and The Godfather 1 and

I don't understand the popularity of Tom Cruise. I don't understand why
he would be chosen for a romantic lead. The most confusing one is his
being cast as Jack Reacher. Jack Reacher is a big, tough guy. His size
is a major trait of the character. He is 6'5" and 250, making him about >twice the size of the twerp actor.

We watched "My Favorite Year" recently. Peter O'Toole as an aging
movie star faced with having to do live television was a treat.
Benjy Stone: Our audiences are great.
Alan Swann: Audience? What audience? Audience?
Benjy Stone: You knew there was an audience. What did you think those
seats were for?
Alan Swann: I haven't performed in front of an audience in 28 years!
Audience? I played a butler. I had one line! I forgot it.
Benjy Stone: Don't worry, this is gonna be easy.
Alan Swann: For you, maybe. Not for me. I'm not an actor, I'm a
movie star!
Citizen Kane and The Shawshank Redemption? Shit, again no an action
hero. Something with Stallone, Schwarzenegger or The Muscles from
Brussels then?

Coincidental! I just watched that movie. It's a hilarious parady on

It's one of those movies that you can watch again and again. Some of the scenes are so funny you start to chuckle knowing that they are coming up.
