Really Funny Movie

[ladywhy]

Ok...out of the blue this 'friend" (more acquaintance) calls me up and asks if I want to go to Rehoboth Beach (DE) for a couple of days. (a friend lent her a house on the beach) Another call comes in during this conversation..and I say, Hang on. It's another friend (real) and I ask him if he can watch my dog for a couple. He says, Yea..no problem..do you need a little money? (If that 'ain't friendship, I don't know what is..lol) Get back on line with "aquaintance" and say, "Yes" LOVE TO GO! Now..I am getting packed, leaving tonight. I have never lived inland before, and I sooo miss the ocean...I am lookin' forward to tomorrow's sunset...like you would not believe. So, i've spent all afternoon on the phone talking about this blessing falling from the sky...and doesn't this "friend" call me back and without much ado..tells me..the whole thing has fallen through...we can't stay at the house. This is actually not the 1rst time she has let me down...but..oh well. So instead tonight I want to rent the funniest movie anyone can think of.....I remember Jasper mentioning one but can't find the thread... Does anyone have a funny movie that sticks out in their befuddled minds? I need a good laugh! Thanks for listening.

You make me laugh! 'Ladybig'....I missed it the first time I read it, then got a good laugh when I slowed down and read it again. Yeah, I was quick to point out the 'bug' slip to you and that word comes up a thousand times on the forum. As in hating the bugs, getting rid ot the bug, dirty little bugs etc. Maybe I should have taken a name like SVR and everyone would want to be like me. I think it's already taken tho...
I'm so glad you're enjoying your classes and life is good. I think that's what happens to people our age. We finally find out how to feel comfortable in our own skin and prioritize what's really important. Then again, there are always days that are better than others. I am busy working and am thinking of taking some classes in January. There's an online degree from Texas Tech I was looking into before I started tx. I admire you for still wanting  to learn. You have a great mind and I'm sure you'll do well in school. I'm amazed at people who are content and don't want to learn new things. But I'm ignorant in so many areas, I probably amaze others as well.
Hey, please stay in touch...I could just go on and on I'm so comfortable talking to you.
Hugs,
Bug

Actually, true to my gender, I was pondering what was nestled *in* those pits... (o)(o).

Thanks for checking in over on the other side, Ladybig. I can't quite seem to catch up with you in here. I'm doing pretty well- I've got classes 4 days a week at the local community college now, and life is actually pretty cool. Funny, I get more enjoyment out of life now with several chronic illnesses than I did for the entire 50 years prior. Go figure.

How's the MH deputy handling life post treatment? I do think about you quite a bit, and miss your sense of humor in here. Stay in touch, one way or another, OK?

I'm gonna see that movie Water- that is unspeakable that little girls are having their lives ruined like that. My daughter is almost 10 and her biggest worry is whether she'll get a part in the school play- that's how it should be, I think.
  Yeah, I agree that this country needs to somehow get it together again. Sometimes I think, I don't get why us humans have to fight amongst ourselves, we're all people and we're ruining the world anyway so ultimately the hman race will probably all meet the same end. Then I hear of horrors like you described in the movie Water and realise... that's one of the reasons we fight. So that we can be free... but I think too much is about greed, not really freedom. I do support our soldiers however- just don't quite get war.
  Sorry to hear about your friend letting you down. I had a girlfriend that did that a lot- I was single and desparate for  "girls nite out" and she'd plan a big night with clubs, dancing, etc- then call after I was alkl dressed up and tell me she was stying in with her hubby. It truly sux. But you got the right attitude- get a funny movie instead. I'm watching "Running With Scissors" right now- about a boy with a very strange childhood. Funny in a kinda bizarre way- I like bizarre. I hope you enjoy whatever you watch!

Have you ever seen "the Gods must be crazy"? It's a bit odd, but is based on a coke bottle falling from the sky into the desert, found by a bushman tribe and how that bottle effects their lives..you'll either like it or hate it.....

I'm talking young widows....like 10 years old....married off to ould men. It's happening right now. They then become "untouchables" and have to live in nunneries. for the rest of there lives.
Though there are some serious problems here, I pray that this country will get it together before it's too late...cause the USA still has the potential to finally figure out the course of action that must be taken...and greed is not the one I'm talking about. I wish I had the answers.....

I'm so sorry to hear about your letdown....some people don't realize the impact they have on others when they make plans and change them. They are impulsive, and live in the minute and are hard to relate to. Hang in there, there will be other sunsets on other beaches with people more deserving of the time you give them.
I bought Little Miss Sunshine but haven't watched it yet. I have a hard time sitting down and committing to that much time unless there's hot popcorn lots of chocolate, and hours of free time!
Hope you find a movie you enjoy...
Hugs,
