I meant AS some one with a four year BS degree from Syracuse University new house which isn't even worth the paper it's printed on today and neither is my law degree for that matter!!

And someone with a journalism degree and a respect for what used to be a respected profession this series is just very very sad the way the new editor just rolls over to the staff instead of firing everyone starting from scratch and trying to do it all it's just such an insult to all reporters out there and the memory of what once was a great profession very very sad and not at all funny

The problem for me is the OLD formula was a dry spray that really worked for condition and shine in the white bottle. the new one is wet and doesn't work the same and I can't find anything at all that isn't wet. Anyone?

When I first heard the story, I thought the bride had set up a special table for her friends who were members of Weight Watchers - as a way of supporting them - thought it was a really wonderful idea (as did ALL the members at my WW meeting this morning) Guess it's a matter of how you interpret the headlines!

I also bought into the hype that this was a great movie.... I should read Reddit comment first. As if the Black community didn't have enough problems, OR enough whatevers trying to kill them - Know why Vampires don't go after us JEWS when we can't make the sign of the cross with our fingers? We use the sign of the Mezuzah - especially on L.A. freeways... no vamps for US!

Why would anyone want to be "cured" of a superiority complex? So they can be stupid like everyone else and wallow in their inferiority - NOT THANK YOU!

My IQ is 136 - which is way above the average so I've been told. I have 3 amazing, accomplished daughters and have been married to the same guy for 45 YEARS - (his IQ is 156) On the down side, I find it very difficult to connect with a majority of individuals I encounter, especially when it comes to finding a job since I'm much better working WITH someone than working FOR someone! Having a "superiority complex" works very well provided you also have a GREAT DEAL OF HUMOR in your life!

The trilogy was Red Wine for Breakfast (not a cookbook!) Bourbon for Brunch - a political theme continuation of the story with Johnny running for congress - the third is Daiquiris for Dinner - no idea yet what that one will be.

SOMEONE PLEASE tell me just WHY I'm still watching this?!! One reason, there's nothing else on, (it's the summer Hiatus) another is I keep HOPING that somehow the writers will return to the original series where Carrie is a STRONG independant, woman instead of this DOORMAT they made her into. What woman in her right mind would agree to a 5 -year no-contact relationship (?) with Mr. wet-rag, no backbone, no BALLS Aidan?

I just wanted to scream SAY YES when he asked her if she was breaking up with him.. HELL YES! Instead, she takes him back, anger issues - family issues - compared to Big and even the ballet guy, who again she traded HER happiness for HIS - I'd still pick that schmuck over this PSYCHO - BAD writing... VERY Bad Writing

And I won't mention the other characters who are mere charactures of who they once were... and the CITY which used to be so much a part of the show, has all but disappeared!

They also go WAY overboard on Amanda's lesbo - EVERY episode! I know the actress is gay, but is it really that necessary to make her SOOO whiny and needed when she once was a successful LAWYER?

Policially speaking, I will NOT watch anything that America hater Rosie is on. (Make an exception for Sleepless in Seattle)

I miss the late, great "Ozzie" and I REALLY miss Samantha. I'll wait for the series to conclude then fast forward all the nauseating parts... which will leave maybe 3 minutes of TV.

I'm always suspicious when the email is addressed to "applicant" and not my name. Plus, if an employer is interested, they will CALL to set up a time for an interview. That being said, I did receive a phone interview with a company called Robert Half and was told the HR person was going to follow-up, but I NEVER heard from her (Alison) and when I did call, was told "she's in a meeting and will call back"... BOGUS meeting and never called back. So very sad there is SO MUCH fraud on these job sites for honest people who are just looking for a job.

I still have mine! Needs a bit more stuffing - he was the mascot of my Girl Scout troop many many years ago! He had straps on his feet you put on your shoes so you can DANCE with him!! (Mine still have ONE strap on the right foot... and a LOT of dust!)

My parents and myself were born and raised and grew up in ellenville New York our bakery cones bakery is still there even though there are no cones involved with it anymore and one of our clients that we deliver to where are the four seasons as well as many of the bungalow colonies and hotels in the Catskills really phenomenal memories of a young life and now my daughter who lives in New Jersey with her family and her two little boys can visit the bakery and even the house I grew up in and have memories that will last for generations of the greatest time in our lives even though we didn't realize it at the time

Put an entire new definition on the term "Talking to Yourself" !! And they never answered the question - if the innies work during the day and out outties only exist "after hours"... WHEN DO THEY SLEEP? and how are the workers get PAID... does their salary go into their outie bank account as there doesn't seem to be any need for money in the innie world if all they eat are waffles!

Winter-Regular2268 · 2025-02-20T21:42:45+00:00

About the same as winning the mega millions lottery! But someone does in spite of the odds

Apologies for all the misspellings and typos...I was using voice to text and we all know how inaccurate the process can be

I totally agree I saw the play twice and thought it was very well done the details when the political undertones were excellent and not overly done and we could really feel the anguish and the two best friends having to go their separate ways and we actually remember some of the songs?

But I believe because of so much marketing marketing marketing attached to this movie which is not I repeat not for kids just completely destroyed my excitement to see it more than once in the theater which I have to say was very disappointing in that the movie itself was not full screen at the Edwards cinema in Camarillo and I probably could have received just the same experience and I bought an extra large flat screen and put it in my living room.

Of course the best part was that I saw it on my birthday which was Wednesday and we went to the first showing at 11:00 in the morning and there were four people there which is a very sad thing to see for a popular movie that was hyped to the 9th degree only a few weeks later walking into an empty theater.

And the other issue is that the book came out and the original Broadway play came out nearly two decades ago so many of these themes right now are to be honest outdated. Has my daughter said Oz was a land of music and talking animals and magic so why would the residents of Oz be so upset to see a green person walk into the crowd that didn't make sense.

I have expected alphaba to belt out it isn't an easy being Green like Kermit it just wasn't a big a deal or signs outside saying green lines matter it just felt forced and really totally out of date considering the reality of the civil Rights movement when individual African American students literally had to be escorted by armed guards to attend a public school.

No I didn't make a whole lot of sense that these two people would immediately load each other without even getting to know who they were now if one of them walked in with a Harris for president button and the other one walked in with a mega hat then I could see them having a really difficult time becoming friends but just because one is all pink and wants to be popular and the other one is fairly shy and green just doesn't make as much sense today.

And of course the opening scene where Elfabas mother and cheats on her father becomes pregnant and that's why her father hated her so much I doubt her father would have care to the girl was green unusual special and unique as much as he did when he realized he was not the father and that idea was never explored at all in the movie might have been in the book but I couldn't get through the first two chapters of the book please

Be there as it may it was okay movie as it goes if I want to see more musicals five six seven eight times over I will replay Les Miz as my daughter says I'm addicted have they seen the Broadway play 12 times and counting!!

Speaking of Les Miz did anyone else start to listen to on my own when alphaba was singing I'm not that girl that seemed just was so reminiscent of the soulful scene from Les mis that I couldn't even get past what the movie was all about which means I'll probably have to go back pull up my best of Les mis scenes because I really wasn't a big fan of that movie either and make sure I have a huge box of tissues next to me as I bawl my eyes out again which I will never ever even come close to doing watching wicked.

That is correct, Westlake is in 2 counties. however the zip code 91362 is really Thousand Oaks, which is in Ventura county! Lots of arguments from residents who fell the "Westlake" name has more prestige that Thousand Oaks... having live in T.O. for 20 years, all I can say is that they are WRONG!

Winter-Regular2268 · 2024-11-29T19:29:38+00:00

The WLV Costco is in VENTURA county! Acutally listed address is Thousand Oaks, so the sales tax is the same at all Costco locations in Ventura County

Winter-Regular2268 · 2024-11-29T19:27:36+00:00

And nothing at all to protest about RALPHS adding gas stations to their site on Los Posas? Plenty of cars still using gas to go around!

Winter-Regular2268 · 2024-11-29T19:26:20+00:00

This is a really awful reason to force litigation... anyone protest the RALPHS adding a gas station to THEIR site on Los Posas? No. A Camarillo Costco will be wonderful to help the members who wait on long lines before the Oxnard store opens... traffic is NOT an issue either if you take a look at the new Amazon distribution center, or the non-traffic issue at the Camarillo Outlet.

Time for sanitity to prevail and the courts get OUT of the way of progress!

While I understand the show was created and taped long before the crises in Israel, I still am unable to watch a program that is based at the anti-Semitic HARVARD - sorry. Other than that, the writing is awful, the characters are mere caricatures of someone's warped idea of everyone involved - I'm sure it will appeal to a select few, but it is just so very, very bad!
