That movie is freakin' terrible! I rarely sit down and watch a movie and I was hugely disappointed with this one. The acting was terrible, the writing was so stilted. I am usually not very judgemental at movies, but blech! Other super terrible movies (I think we've done this once before, but oh well): The Truman Show, The Village, Sex Tape - didn't finish that one, too stupid.
@quiksylver296 The Truman Show?! You hate that movie?! I'm starting to rethink our pretend internet friendship.
Yep, Mo, almost got up and walked out of the theater. So, so, so bad. But, for totally cheesy but still love it, how about Crybaby with Johnny Depp? So bad, it's good. Or the fourth Indiana Jones - and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I love that one because they spoof on themselves. So funny!
I love Crybaby. I haven't seen it in forever, but I pretty much love anything with Johnny Depp.
With a few exceptions I can't seem to bring to mind now.
Am I back to internet twin, then, Mo?
Confession: I made my 10-year-old son read then watch The Princess Bride. He hated it. I love it, so, so much. (By "making my son read" really means I read it as his bedtime book.) Favorite line - "I'm not a witch. I'm your wife!"0 -

2nd Confession: I haven't been called for the job I applied for last week, but it's still posted online so they're probably waiting until it closes, but why wouldn't they want to get a head start on interviewing me? Aside from my hulu watching on a friday afternoon, I'm very good at what I do.
Backstrom looked entertaining, but I never got around to watching or DVRing. Worth watching, OJ?0 -

Interesting... my husband and I are at a crossroads like that. We live in a city where there are good jobs and lots of money but not a lot to do for people who are dinks (Double Income No Kids). We have considered moving across the country where we are closer to the Eastern US so we can explore all the different cities out that way but the jobs and $$ is just not as good. I also want to start trying for a baby soon and feel bad for my parents/his parents if were were to leave b/c they would be missing out. It's such a hard balance some times. Do you stay where you are b/c it's comfortable and you know how green the grass is or do you take the risk and chance it? It's always hard.

This is interesting. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada and our economy is flourishing, despite the price of oil. My husband and I had considered moving to Atlantic Canada for a couple of years, so our kids could experience it, but there is no way we could afford it on the going rate for wages, as compared to what we make right now.0 -

It came on really strong at the beginning, but it's mellowed out a lot and is pretty entertaining.0 -

Charlie and the Chocolate factory. He looks way too creepy in that...
The movie Chocolat is pure porn. Not only does it have chocolate, it has Mr. Depp
I wanted to hate this movie, because I love the original, but I ended up really liking it and use quotes from it semi-regularly.
I quote Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell movies more than any woman ever should. Oh, and The Princess Bride. I LOVE that movie!
Best. Movie. Ever.
I infected my 4 children with a love of this movie early on. We watched it at least six times/year together and I will stop and watch it anytime I catch it on tv, regardless of time of day or place in the movie.
I second the love of that film. I often quote it at my students at work, and they have no idea what I'm on about:
Student: To be honest it's impossibly difficult being at college. I just can't do any homework, I'm too busy, it's impossible.
Me: You keep using that word - I do not think it means what you think it means.0 -

Awesome! This makes me unreasonably happy. I guess this is the first time in a long time I feel like I've actually helped someone else.
I kind of think of you as the fairy godmother of this thread... You are kind and always take time to interact with people who have deep or out there stuff going on. I think you've helped a lot of people here.
I feel the same way. @BZAH10 makes such an effort to post helpful replies to so many people on here and remember all kinds of details from prior posts.
And for some weird reason I found this on page 3?? Might be a MFP glitch (or might just be what I'm seeing) but new posts don't seem to be updating the last post time.
Thank you BOTH for the kind words! That really means a lot to me. Seeing as how this is a "confessions" thread, I'll just say that I'm going through a phase IRL right now where I'm not feeling useful or beneficial to anyone. I kind of just slog through each day, one foot in front of the other, and deny that I'm kind of unhappy and just go through the motions.
Perhaps I'm over-compensating here, but I do love this thread: I love the pace, the variety, the topics, and all the great peeps! Real and marshmallow! Anyway, thanks again.
Sorry you feel that way IRL, here I think your posts are great!
Thank you. I'm at a crossroad: do I make some personal changes and see where it goes (could be better; could be worse)? Or do I just keep living my mediocre life? I know the grass always looks greener on the other side until you get there, so I just don't want to make the wrong decision. But, no risks, no rewards, right?
I read a quote recently that reminded me of myself: "My decision-making skills resemble that of a squirrel crossing the street."

I live on the East Coast (Boston area) right now. FWIW I would say if you want to move, the time to do it is before kids. If it wouldn't harm your career trajectory, you can discover a new place and enjoy your childless freedom. you could also afford a smaller place like and awesome loft etc. You can always move back to your parents when you have a baby, or not. Plus even if you did have a baby, they are pretty portable until they high kindergarten. However, the benefit of inlaws/parents when you have a little one cannot be understated.
But I like to move around and get a three year itch when I stay one place for too long.0 -

I'm still undecided about this show, though I think some of the character development is very impressive. I love and hate Valentine so much that I can't deal sometimes.0 -

Waiting is never easy. Hopefully they are just waiting for it to close or they are messing around at work just like you are and don't care about contacting people for interviews on a Friday afternoon! Hope you hear from them Monday. Would it be a move up? Pay raise?
It's a different position with a similar skill set as to what I'm doing now, and pretty much a lateral move, however the new position opens up free CDL training and licensing, as well as refrigerated vending repair, which brings in the big bucks.
Oh, yeah, that is huge! My youngest son's first job was delivering beer for Budweiser. I'm a truck person (my dad was a truck driver) so when my son started driving I bought him a Chevy 3500 dually. They figured if an 18 yr. old could drive that then he could drive a semi. They trained him and paid for his CDL. Yes, at 18 he was delivering beer (too young to drink) and he was the youngest CDL driver they'd ever had. He's a Correctional Officer now but he keeps his CDL current.
Good luck! Hope you get the opportunity!0 -

)
So are you going "glamping"? Or actual sleep in a tent, cook over a fire camping? I grew up with the latter. We LOVED camping as kids! Play in the woods and creeks all day, help cook food over an open fire, sleep in sleeping bags in a tent. When I got older I realized what a load of work that was for my mom and all the other moms there. Camping should be fun; not work. We did cabin camping when our kids were young. I was a much more lazy mom I guess. But, the kids had fun and no one got eaten by a bear.
I booked a cabin at a KOA campground because we don't own a tent. But the cabin is basically just beds. No kitchen, no bathroom, so it should be pretty close to real camping other than not having to sleep on the hard, lumpy, rocky ground.
A cabin with no amenities? Interesting. Camp fire cooking, then? Out house? Sounds pretty much like roughing it, to me. Have fun!0 -

I think the MFP site is having issues because this thread has been pretty active today. I just bookmarked it so that I don't have to search for it. Your response made me laugh, though! I think half the posts today have been about panic over where this thread went.0 -

The bad news: I ate probably 3,000+ calories of Easter candy while my husband mowed the lawn.
Yum! I ate two of the Cold Stone Creamery Rainbow Cakery Eggs on Monday & it was so worth it.
Today I confessed that I jammed to Eddie Murphy's Party All The Time in my car this morning.

I watched two episodes, then just gave up because it's probably going to get canceled anyway. But Backstrom just creeps me out.
Confession - I totally fell asleep during Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides. So boring.0 -

We are indeed friends again, @quiksylver296 . I love that movie so much, I got if for my first anniversary from my husband. I also love Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Or maybe, I just love Carey Elwes.
