Realized that once you get older, halloween is just another holiday designed so people can have parties, get wasted, and sleep with their fantasy characters. (considering most adults dress in non-dead or scary costumes).

I have learned that maybe sometimes I should use measuring cups...I made mock cabbage rolls (on the stovetop sort of like a stew or soup), and I eyeballed the rice. Bad move. I ended up with about 2 gallons of the stuff, most of which was rice.

I am banned. Just not from here yet ;) .

[Ovaltine]

Never actually read the book. Though I love to read.

Did read "Gone With the Wind" and "The Abyss" before watching the movies. Hated GWTW movie, they made Scarlet a real b**** and ditched 2 of her kids. Loved The Abyss, mostly because it was hard for me to imagine where the characters were in the sub without visual reference.

[budafist]

Just banned from her local supermarket for indecent behaviour :D

I read GWTW too, way before I saw the movie, which I honestly can't stand either Ovaltine, so I guess we're on the same page with that one.

Haven't seen or read The Abyss.

[AlexNJ210]

you are missing out urst, that movie is such a classic, and i can't believe you never saw it!!!!

[urstwile]

The Abyss? Um, okay. I guess I'll watch it next time it comes around on HBO. I've seen snippets, I think.
