Subject: Glenn Author: JeffF [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:26:38 06/19/02 Wed In reply to: Glenn 's message, "So all we have here" on 15:35:14 06/18/02 Tue What do you want to talk about? I'm certainly willing to discuss things besides the Middle East. I guess I could ask some questions to you to get the ball rolling. Have you seen "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"? I thought this one was really funny. Will you miss Jesse Ventura? Have you started watching America's best sport, baseball again? :-) Any advice on how to pay for extensive dental work, when you don't have dental insurance, without going into debt for forty years? sigh. What other newer flicks do you recommend? It's always enjoyable to talk to you about movies. :-) I assume this place isn't "happening" because of the existence of the Mantel and that most DP people are either over there or on Jabberwocky, but come on over and start somwe new topics and those of us who are here would be happy to chime in.

Author: Dana [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:25:49 06/19/02 Wed I'm looking forward to seeing "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", I'll have to see if it's playing around here this weekend. I really don't like going to the theatre much, and prefer to rent so I usually don't get to see movies until they make it to rental. About the dental work..... Find a university/hospital in your area that has a dental school. You can receive low cost dental care (usually on a sliding scale) if you agree to let a dental student work on you. They are highly supervised, so it's not as scary as it sounds. You'd be doing your bit for the future of dentistry, too. *G* ~Dana

[> [> [> Subject: Always good talking to you, Dana Author: JeffF [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:31:22 06/19/02 Wed It's a very funny movie. May I ask why you like renting better? It does save a lot of money, but I have a feeling that's not your reason. The local library often has a good collection of videos which cost nothing to take out. Have you ever seen "Champagne for Ceasar" with Vincent Price. It's a very funny movie that most people seem never to have heard of and I often like to recommend people rent it. Thanks for the tips about the dental work. I'll look into what's available here. Georgetown used to have something like this, but I'm pretty sure they've discontinued their dental school.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Why I like renting better... Author: Dana [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:23:18 06/19/02 Wed Our opportunities to watch movies occur at really strange times of the day or night. We also aren't very good with extracuricular events that have a well defined starting time, and I won't watch a movie unless I can see it from the beginning. Our library has a decent collection of vhs and dvd movies so we do check those out. We especially like getting some of the BBC miniseries from the library. I'll look for "Champagne for Caesar". I always enjoyed Vincent Price movies, even the campy horrors. ~Dana

[> [> Subject: Re: Glenn Author: Glenn [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:22:16 06/19/02 Wed Have not seen "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." My mom liked it, though. Yep, I will miss Jesse Ventura. He was a loose cannon, but told a lot of things like they are. Have you started watching America's best sport, baseball again? :-) Best sport? The only one that doesn't ban andro and steroids? A bit. I barely know any players. When they mention someone's last name and you think it's the guy's father that they are talking about, you know you've been away awhile. Any advice on how to pay for extensive dental work, when you don't have dental insurance, without going into debt for forty years? sigh. - yipe. Take a job just for the coverage. What other newer flicks do you recommend? It's always enjoyable to talk to you about movies. :-) - Thanks. I have seen nothing lately. This was the first year I've had access to all the NHL and NBA playoff games while being single, and I was like a kid in a candy store. And I really like both teams that won, so my interest never waned. Since I've been in Austin, the only theater films I've seen were Amelie (wonderful) and Fellowship of the Ring (okay).

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: NBA Author: Glenn [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:24:35 06/20/02 Thu I was a Nets fan when Larry Brown was the coach and when Drazen Petrovic played, but didn't care for them at other times - even when Dr. J played for them. And I've never been much of a fan of Jason Kidd. But I've always loved the Lakers, from Goodrich, West, Wilt, and Baylor, through Magic, Rambis, Wilkes, and McAdoo to Kobe, Shaq, and Horry.
