Things I learned from Nana...pt. one

Sex Education:
"If a man is going to buy a horse he is going to want to ride it to see if it's the right horse for him. He is not however going to buy one that has been ridden to the ground."

Going out on a date:
"Keep your pants up and your dress down and you will be alright."
"Just remember, a good girl goes out on a date, goes home and goes to bed. A nice girl goes out on a date, goes to bed and then goes home. I expect you to be a very good girl."

Riding in a car:
"Keep your hands and arms inside the car at all times! Once a man put his arm out of the window to feel the air. Just then a truck passed by. A little while down the road the man felt excrutiating pain and looked down-his arm was missing!"

Duplicity the movie-SAVE YOUR MONEY

Tonight we walked out on Duplicity half way through the movie. Talk about boring, poor plot and crappy acting. Such a disappointment when I had so looked forward to it.

This is the third movie I have walked out on in my life. The first was the God awful Reservoir Dogs(I know it's a man's flick) and believe it or not Dances with Wolves. In my defense of the latter I didn't walk until toward the end when I realized both the horse and wolf were going to bite it. It was totally unnecessary to kill them. Of course when I was little I wasn't allowed to watch Lassie because whenever she got hurt, lost or kidnapped I would get almost hysterical. Just goes to show I truly do like animals better than most people. kays

Was this not one of the most inspiring videos ever? She put her singing career/dreams on hold to take care of her mother who passed away last year. The dress she is wearing is from a second-hand store. She is unemployed. I hope great things are in store for her. kays

Proofreading Mistakes

For some months I have been a Beta(proofreader) for several aspiring authors. Not only do I enjoy reading their stories as they unfold but I also enjoy reading their mistakes! Here are a few:

She walked up to the door and rang the buzzard.

He has trouble getting his composer back.

"...makes me act "wontonly" she implies.......

He gently messaged her breasts.

She realized that one of his faults, and there were few, he was Closter phobic.

She plunged the steak into his heart.
