Let's talk about film scores/songs. What is the first one that you thought about when you saw today's subject?
The Feather theme (Forrest Gump).
Every stinkin' time! No matter how often I hear those first few notes, my nose begins to tingle and my eyes get wet.
Do you remember the first movie you ever saw on the 'big screen'? Would you tell us about it?
Bambi. We kindergarten pupils were given brightly-colored deer costumes (think oversize trash bags), then we marched one-by-one to the nearby theater.
Traumatized! All these years since, I've harbored an unreasonable aversion to hunting.

Who is your favorite female movie star? Who is your favorite male movie star? (Go ahead and list more than one if you must.)
Meryl Streep
Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwood
How about those old black and white movies! Which one do you always stop and watch, even just a little when channel surfing?
Aside from Madame X and Schindler's List, I can't recall ever having watched any b/w films.
Is there a movie quote that makes you laugh?
"I didn't know he was missing."
...or, one that you repeat often in life that you can share with us?
"There's no place like home."
Will we know what movie it comes from without you telling us?
Probably. If not, check the small print under my signature line!
Please share something random about your week with us.
I'm stumped!
After a couple of issues with his ladder, Tom succeeded in hanging the flag Troy and Lois gave him for Christmas. Yay!
It looks as if the insurance company is going to reimburse us for the time away at the lake, after all! Double yay!
It's been almost 7 months now since I stopped coloring my hair. You'd think I've grown used to seeing my reflection, but no.
Forget 'the doberman', now I'm thinking, Carol Channing. I don't use cosmetics so much anymore, but suspect my face could stand a little Indian Earth. Do they even sell that anymore?
I hope your day's stressLESS, stormLESS …
and abundantly blessed!
Hugs,
Myra
