Uhm, I have added all five Solid Gold 5 Day Workouts to my playlist, and I *WILL* be pulling out my old 80s dance gear, squeezing my fat ass into it and doing them. Best believe.

I think M*A*S*H was on a weekday, yes. And I never miss a single ep when it's on and I can catch it. I absolutely love that show. Chokes me up constantly.

Isn't that an amzing lineup?! I mean, I just miss being ENTERTAINED. No political preaching, no message of what's wrong with me or society, no, just entertained.

I just like, ASSUMED I'd grow up to look exactly like her. Like, "Oh! Yeah! I wanna look like THAT! Great, nature! Do yer magic. I'm waiting.".

I'm still waiting.

LOL ditto on all. Except for the chest. I am *NOT* blessed in the chest. When I was younger and smug, I said "WELL! At least when I'm old, I won't have to worry about saggy boobs because they're small!". WRONG. Bra size: 34 long.

When the new WW movie came out I said we needed to go see it, hubby said we hadn't seen any other DC movies in the theater (though we go to all the Marvel movies) I said WE ARE GOING! He should have known better my 30th b-day party, shared with a good friend, his side of the cake was I think spiderman, mine was WW.  After we got home from the movie I actually crocheted a headband to match the new one.

I DRESSED UP to go see Wonder Woman, I'm a huge nerd fan. Like I made my costume to look like the movie one and had a cape and such, I was ready for this movie since Suicide Squad came out

Twinkie you're SO LOVELY!! I love your hair!

You know I'm not mature enough to have social media.

[QuiteCalM]

@DanceChick

A QUOKKA!!! OMG!! I WANT a dozen Quokkas and three 'roos please. Thank you.

Perth looks AMAZING. I really want to move to Australia when my husband retires, and work as an esthetician there. Do you know about the immigration laws there? Hubby says everything in Australia that isn't human basically wants to kill you. Ever seen the spiders that Australia comes up with?

Man this is so funny, we were just talking about this the other night. Crocodile Dundee was on. I'm sorry, I know how idiotic that sounds, and yes, I kind of AM that idiotic.

Bahahahaha! Perth is so beautiful. Huge city and the best west coast beaches=gorgeous Indian Ocean sunsets. Not sure on immigration laws. I promised hubs we'd move there if a certain orange politician person won the election, so we may eventually head down undah. Yes, very dangerous spiders, snakes, drop bears (google that too).

Oh you tricky tricky Sheiler, you. Dropbear. That's akin to the American snipe, no doubt. Can't get one over on me. Gotta get up PRETTY early in the morning to fool ol Monica. I mean, sure I told my husband about it, googled it endlessly and read "news" reports of dropbear attacks, but eventually, I figured it out LMAO!!

I feel weird calling your crotch fruit "crotch fruit" now, because she's a precious little brown haired animal lover. That PIC!! SO ADORABLE!

Also, to agree with you while weaving within the bounds of board specs...I COMPLETELY agree. I suddenly feel the urge to explore new lands and run like the fucking wind.....

@twinkietwin94 I tried to view your IG but it is private, and I do not have a public social media presence to connect up with you, so I will just have to wait until we all meet up at the DCC Fantasy Camp one day.  Your slept-in-French-braids look is so cute and takes me back, I used to do that as a teenager whenever I wanted some wave in my hair.  I love that photo of Judy cheering with the two ponytails for similar reasons, it's a real #TBT for us old-school girls.

[California Girl]

@QuiteCalM you are a storehouse of wit, humor, nostalgia, absurdity, and pop-culture references (and a few bee stings to keep it painful), and I think I may have said this before but you should really be an observational columnist for some paper, sort of an everywoman's Maureen Dowd.  Honestly you have enough material in you for a daily.  

And speaking of columnist, did anyone read David Brooks's absurd and "true" story of taking his everywoman "friend" out for an Italian sandwich?  Yeah, I totally believe that.

Just wanted to post a bit of an instruction of something neat that can help move a conversation here in Small Talk. By clicking the time stamp under the posters name of the post you'd like to continue to talk about elsewhere (sorry, that's a mouthful) a gray box will appear around the post. You can copy the "address" of it now from the address bar at the top. Then go to the correct topic and paste. 

And it will look like that. The red text is a link back to the original, but it will at least provide a good segue. 

Also, mocking anyone--including mods who are volunteers--is not the best way to Be Civil. Something to keep in mind.

Oh goodness, thank you so much! I'm generally a cheerful person, but y'all know I can get my crank on for sure. Just send me to my sewing room with a cocktail and I'll shape up quickly. 

I don't sell any quilts, and I rarely even give them away ? I just started sewing less than three years ago, and I'm being greedy. My mom has a few, and a handful of close friends. I'm not nearly fast enough to make money with it. But it does make me happy!

@QuiteCalM your "Drop Dead Gorgeous" gif in the 2017 thread just about made me spit out my drink. That movie is a fucking masterpiece if I ever did see one. I miss Brittany Murphy.

Just some of the extras from the shellfish barfing scene LOL. It was filmed in Minneapolis. I also met the actress in the "don't cry out loud" scene. A friend of mine grew up with her!

I hope I have enough time this weekend to watch season 1; I've only seen season 6 on. I'm so intrigued by the stuff I've heard here about the book report.

Sounds good, I'll try that for sure! I made a "gazpacho" juice and it's actually tolerable. The more I drink it, the better it tastes. I'm just not used to how concentrated this is. WHEW! It is some potent stuff, man.
