We're Over Thirty and Obsessed! Just like the title says!

smile.gif Everyone is welcome to post on the OTOs, BUT keep in mind this is a thread for Adults!
How do you know if this is the thread for you?
- Are the kids finally in bed or at practice somewhere and you need a moment with other Roswell Adults?
- Did your kids leave the nest and you no longer have to fight for the computer?
- You have no kids and enjoy posting with other Adult Roswell fans?
- Are you a mature 'under 30'?
Then this is the thread for you smile.gif


~ Poem by John aka Noseedough ~


Friendships are the best ships!
Our fun tips are the best quips,
and our pics...they rule the board
friendships are the best
we're definitely obsessed...
sometimes we may be hazy,
but we never do get stressed.
Some jump right in, don't be afraid
say what's on your mind
never fear...we all have strayed,
but fall right back in line.
We love you when you're different,
we love you when you're not,
we are the OTO's my friend,
the best that you have got!

OLD THREAD!
Lori R
Vinity I 'think' BSG has a one hour special Monday night to talk about the show over all of the seasons and then the 2 hour finale on Friday. TV Guide has a special cover and article about it.

Watcher tongue.gif and LTL I remember the song 'dead skunks in the middle of the road' lol.gif I actually thought of that when we were seeing and smelling so many on the first part of our trip.

Vinity
THansk for the new thread.

I remember the song "Dead skunks" Skunks were a horrble problem in Charlottesville. Dead on the sides of the road all the time. We had a family in the trees just off the side of our land about 100 feet from the bed rooms. The shoot from the back pasture and front pasture crossed it. The horses were terrified of the skunks. Once one sprayed our heating unit and we had to go to a hotel for a night and once DV tried to hit on in the driveway. He didn't get it but it sprayed the hell out of the underpart of his car. We had to rent a car for a month and I took that thing to be washed a million times. Even years later get that car hot enough and I swear you could smell faint skunk.

They replayed Castle tonight. Is that good??
HeavyMetalQueen
wave.gif Thanks for the new thread! grin.gif Hey! I just came back from watching 2 movies at the theaters, The first one was" The House on the Left". Now that was a very good movie, but very Gory! I really can't handle any gory scenes anymore, but the thriller/exstensive violence I can still handle that. grin.gif

The second one was"Return to Witch Mountain", & it was also good, but you know when the write ups came up & they said "Ian ( oh, now I forgot his last name,) & the girl,Denise Richardson, anyways, they were the "orginal" kids in the movie( back in the 70's) & I still couldn't figure out which part they played in this one, So I'll have to go watch it agian or find out what there "charectors" names were in the movie.But tongue.gif The Rock is so hot!!! drool.gif drool.gif God you should see how big he is, he's like massive!! eek.gif drool.gif So Just to let you know the movies were awesome! smile.gif

LTL I don't know what "wordpad" is? Yeah I'm that bad with computers. uhoh.gif



I forgot now what everyone was talking about,(okay I remeber the final season of BSG ) I think it's here on Monday, & the final eppy is this Friday but I could be mixing that up too. Gosh I haven't watched that show in so long, last time it was on, was that cute blond guy as captian of the ship. yeah so like in the 80's? eek.gif



okay off to finsh the book(3) of the stargate series. Hey Vinity have you read those series ??anyone else??

wave.gif to everyone I've missed I will catch up one of these days.

Summer of 47
wave.gif all

Still making my way through BtVS, approaching midway in S4. S4 has been a bit patchy so far but (I won't be popular with this opinion!) I'm glad the 'Angel' spin off means we see less of him uhoh.gif , I mean I like evil Angelus but the tortured soul Angel / Buffy thing had been pushed as far as it could go IMO. The real star of BtVS now, I am sure, is Spike as James Marsters as he TOTALLY steals any scene he is in nod.gif. I'm so glad JW decided to keep Spike and not kill him off. I loved the Buffy / Spike "engagement in 'Something Blue', and 'Hush' is a brilliant episode with the creepiest villains of the series so far and Giles' slide show was so funny, as were so many of the gestures (some very crude ones lol.gif ) as they struggled to communicate.

I won't be able to see the final episodes (season?) of BSG until the DVDs come out which should be in June - I've got my pre-order in nod.gif

For the Brits, I read that 'The Wire' will be shown on free TV on BBC2, but I don't what they will do about censoring the language ( the f-word count is astronomical shock.gif ) I really recommend it though it's not easy to watch with the violence and cussing and the street slang.

Dead Skunk

Crossin' the highway late last night
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn't see the station wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are!

You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!

Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose!
Roll up yer window and hold yer nose
You don't have to look and you don't have to see
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory

You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!

Yeah you got yer dead cat and you got yer dead dog
On a moonlight night you got yer dead toad frog
Got yer dead rabbit and yer dead raccoon
The blood and the guts they're gonna make you swoon!
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!

C'mon stink!

You got it!
It's dead, it's in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle!
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven!
All over the road, technicolor man!
Oh, you got pollution
It's dead, it's in the middle
And it's stinkin' to high, high Heaven

They already have a release date set for the Season 1 DVD to come out, so I guess they're planning on playing the whole season, no matter what. I thought that was a bit surprising for a show that's only had one episode.

My guess is they won't edit it at all - just show it very late at night look.gif As long as it's after 9pm, they can swear all they like, in theory, but I bet they leave it later, to stop complaints lol.gif

I got bad news today sad.gif I realised I thought my current contract ends a month earlier than I'd thought. Not a pleasant piece of knowledge, given that it's unlikely any new grant will be funded in time to pick up where this one leave off... So now I have only 3 months guaranteed salary left, instead of 4, and unemployment is looking more and more likely sad.gif I don't want to be unemployed!!!! The time at home would be welcome, but not the lack of money sad.gif

Big Niece also had bad news. She hasn't broken her arm... but she has broken her shoulder and her wrist sad.gif So she can't ride in the competition she's entered into next month. Her first competition - she was so excited about it. Her recovery will be long as well, as they can't set the shoulder like they normally do, because treatment depends on her being able to take the weight of her arm on her wrist. And she can't do this, because it's broken as well! Poor Niece sad.gif

Why is life so hard all the time? look.gif frown.gif

Lori, thanks for the new thread.

For those of us who refuse to believe Roswell is over, we're having a Roswell Viewing Party (RVP) . We're on episode 3, Monsters. We'll be simultaneously watching the ep and posting about the ep tomorrow night at 9 PM east coast time and 6 PM west coast time. Come join us for the RVP Here.
Nana J.
I don't know if I'll have time to watch Monsters, but I may pop in to see what others are saying.

Spook - Life sure does have its stresses! Guess we need to remember we are not alone. We have tons of company! Will start sending good vibes your way!

Had a good weekend. My granddaughters came and the little one stayed for most of it (the older went home on Saturday). It was the older one's birthday today and Bampaw took us to dinner last night at Red Robin.

Tonight is my favorite night of TV. And it's time to crawl into bed and relax and watch. I'm recovering from having the kids so am looking forward to this time.

HMQ - glad you enjoyed the movies. I took the girls to Coraline. It was weird and a bit creepy for kids.

Thanks for the skunk lyrics, Watcher. I didn't remember that one.

Vin - I hope you never hit another skunk. Their odor is penetrating!

Lori R
Spook I hope things work out with the job. I know you don't want to be unemployed.
And I am sorry to read about your Big niece as well. Poor thing. How disappointing for her.
I hope she heals as quickly as her injuries will allow.

Wild I will be around on Wednesday.

Spook- That is so sad about your niece. sad.gif & Horrible about you not getting anymore grants. Gosh I really do hope they find some funding, so you don't have to go on E.I. That is so horrible & they give you practailly "nothing" & you have to wait for like 6 weeks to get any sort of $.

Okay that's what the "system" is over here, Not sure what it's like for you over there, But I pray that you don't have to go thru that ever!!

NanaJ- So that movie "Corline" was a bit off eh, But as long as the grandchildern enjoyed the movie, that's okay eh. smile.gif How's your daughter doing?? I hope she is alright & having a speedy recovery. smile.gif You know how I really miss my neice & nephews when they were younger & enjoyed comming over to my place for the "usual" "Junk Fest". & movies & palying their video games. But they are all so old now. bawl.gif The 2 boys are 16, the next one is 19, & Neice is 18, & the 2 older boys ( who live in Edmonton, since they are both in the Army) are 22 & 24. bawl.gif No young kids to spoil & have fun with anymore!! Anyways, it's good they got their own friends & can go to parties ect.( well some of them work ). But yeah March Break started today, over here.

When does Spring Break start for you ,in the States? Oh! P.S. Did I mention that my Aunt & Uncle used to live in Seattle.( I noticed that under your name ). They are in Medical Lake now, so not too far out from Spokane. smile.gif

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

May you be in heaven a full half hour
before the devil knows your dead.


May you live as long as you want and never want as long as you live.

May your heart be light and happy,
May your smile be big and wide,
And may your pockets always have
a coin or two inside!


Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.


May you always have a clean shirt, a clear conscience, and enough coins in your pocket to buy a pint!

May the face of every good news and the back of every bad news be towards us.

May neighbours respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.


May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The foresight to know where you are going,
And the insight to know when you have gone too far.


May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.

May those that love us, love us.
And those that don’t love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he doesn’t turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we’ll know them by their limping.


May misfortune follow you the rest of your life, and never catch up.

May you have food and raiment, a soft pillow for your head. May you be forty years in heaven before the devil knows you’re dead.

May your mornings bring joy
and your evenings bring peace...
May your troubles grow less
as your blessings increase!


May you get all your wishes but one,
so that you will always have something to strive for!



Later,

I did like Help, but not as much as the others. My spare bathroom is completely decorated in Yellow Submarine, and I made a Yellow Submarine for a pinewood derby I was in. It was quite slow, but it did win first place in my division for design grin.gif

Lori, would you please spoil me and let me know who gets voted off DWTS tonight?

Do you know I haven't watched it once this season? The timing for me to watch just hasn't been happening. But mainly I haven't watched due to no one of interest being on there. I had wanted to watch Jewel and Ty compete against one another, but since she is out, then I really don't care to watch.
Sorry shrug.gif

Groundhog and vilandragirl I love those Beatle songs. I can't get them out of my head now lol.gif

I finally got a new student today. No English. He is a quick little guy. Three times he just upped and left. Thank goodness I saw him leave or someone else did while I was working with others. Should be an interesting end of the year lol.gif

Would love to but it's 1.00am in the morning over here for the RVP and I need to be up at 6am sad.gif I like reading all the comments though smile.gif

Lovely spring day today and third day running with plenty of sunshine - while we're all inside working bawl.gif Big fire visible from my office in the City of London this afternoon, lots of smoke, luckily no-one trapped and the building was safely evacuated.

Spook - I hope you hear better news about your job and get a contract extension.

I have been gone on Tuesday nights since the viewing party started.
I do think it is fun watching while chatting though.
Something to consider, like you suggested.

HMQ, you "rented" twilight? Neat trick..... How did you do that?

Please join us tonight (in about 40 minutes) for the Roswell Viewing Party. We'll be "ep chatting" Monsters, episode 3, season 1.
It was actually suposed to be on the shelves a few days later, but you how some of the corner stores put there dvd rentals out eailier, it's agianist the law really & they can lose their lience, but they all do it.

so the guy had 4 copies & I still can't believe I got it, with one last copy to rent, Agian I think that the guy did it since it's "March Break" thought he'd get them rented eariler. well that could be his excuse.



Well I did enjoy the film a lot, I will come back & tell you all that I liked the parts & the guys the most. grin.gif Later on, as I;m in the middle of watching one show taping others, it's a bit spineyes.gif for me at the moment.

Nana J.
Jero - loved the Irish wishes! Thank you for printing them!

HMQ - my granddaughters will be off next week for their "Spring break". You are right. Before long they will be too old to want to spend the weekend with Nana. I'll enjoy them while I can.

Watcher - I'm another that liked Kyle XY.

GH - Sorry I didn't get to the discussion of Monsters. Just got sidetracked. (Doesn't take much).

I'm still working on this banner. Did have one success today. I imported the United Church of Christ design, colored it in Photoshop, put a transfer sheet in my printer and printed it, ironed it and it is now on material. I will place it on the banner eventually. Came out well. This old dog learned a new trick. Applause, please.
I also bought a tiny pair of scissors to cut out letters for the banner. Should make it easier, as some of the letters are pretty small. I'm having a terrible time figuring out the best color combinations for the banner. So I am cutting out several letters in different colors to lay on the banner to see if I can figure out what will look right.

Daughter is feeling better after her procedure. Her car developed problems, though and is in the shop and she is using my car today. Hubby has a car, but it is a van and I don't like to drive it. Had enough to keep me busy at home, so it was really not much of a problem. Should get my car back tommorow.

Looking forward to LOST tonight.

GH, I like the idea of switching to Messenger for our RVP ep chats. There is no lag time when you IM. Maybe we should consider switching? ITA, we need more people to join us at the Roswell View Parties. look.gif

Nana, congrats on your new accomplishment and banner.

Nosee wave.gif You've been awfully quiet lately.

HMQ, lucky for you that you got an early DVD of twilight. I'm glad you liked the movie. Drop by some of the twilight threads on the twilight board (under Sci Fi, natch) and post your thoughts.

SO47, if you have insomnia (though I don't wish that on you), you could join us for an ep chat. If you sleep well (which I hope you do), then post your comments about the ep before or after our viewing party.

Nana you can circles around me concerning the computer smile.gif I still can't do much myself.

Tek and Nana LOST was interesting. And IMO creepy.

Lori, Lost was creepy? eek.gif ...I felt like I was on the island time traveling when I saw the last new ep 2 weeeks ago.. "3 years in the future.... 3 years earlier.... 3 years in the future...." Sheesh, I practically got nosebleed from that ep.

I am bawl.gif that Kyle XY is just a big "ex" now. bawl.gif

wave.gif There is a werid "advertisement" above the BOF's thread. Maybe by now somebody can remove it eh?? I can't understand it as I think it's in German .??

Yeah I really liked Twillight, I thought of it more like roswell, like Max & Liz. types. So I enjoyed it more ,since to me it wasn't a regular vampire movie, you know demons & gore galore eek.gif . okay before I go over there Yeah NanaJ- enjoy the grandkids now caus ethey do grow up too fast. I was mentioning this to my brother ,when he called tonight & he said I know. We don't even see them much anymore, always wanna go out with their friends. My neice is T.O right now, lucky girl!

Rooms for Comic Con go up for grabs at 9 am tomorrow, Vicki? eek.gif I have a doctor's appointment at 9:10 sad.gif .... I am going to reserve a room or two, but I'm clueless as to where. I'd like a hotel nearer to the Convention Center within quick trolley distance that isn't $$$$$. Do you have an suggestions? Are you going to join us at Comic Con? I hope so. Mebbe we can talk tomorrow? smile.gif Thanks for the link to the reservation site, BTW.

HMQ, so you're already planning your second viewing of twiight? grin.gif Sounds like you're addicted. grin.gif Welcome to the club. grin.gif ....Yeah, there were a lot of similarities with Roswell.

Yeah & I just saw in the flyers that Walmart is having a huge sale off of the movie this weekend. It's gonna cost $18.95 for the DVD single sset with 3 posters of the movie inside, & it goes up to regular price of $22.95 on Monday. I think the soundtrack is also on sale for like $15.00, But I'm gonna wait it out, because more than likely My neice will want a copy of the movie so my brother can make one for me too. smile.gif blush.gif that should of been in a p.m. eh blush.gif spineyes.gif lol.gif lol.gif



I don't know about the posters, I might just go stand in the horrible line-ups for the one of( hopefully) Jacob, & James. those are my "highly favorite" hotties of the movie eh! tongue.gif ( panting) lol.gif

I hope you get to go to Comic con, gosh one of thewse days I hope to afford to go "anywhere". smile.gif

Tomorrow at midnight I can buy Twilight. Since I'm not a night person, I'm sure I'll wait until Saturday morning.

Daughter has my car so I pretty much stuck at home. Good thing. Lots of housework needed to be done. Did three loads of clothes and there is just my hubby and I. Then some ironing. Then bed changing. Finished what I am going to do on the banner. The committee can finish it.

My neighbor has written a book. She dictated it--so many words didn't come out correctly. She is not a great speller, nor is her strength... grammar. So I have been helping her edit it, an hour at a time. We are up to page 97. Got to get to 175, but we are making progress. Not that it will ever be published. (It won't). But at least she will have something for her relatives to read, if they wish. She keeps complimenting the character that is really her. Not that I could write a novel. I have trouble with a short poem!

LTL - I picked up book twelve of the Stephanie Plum books yesterday. It has started out great. I have a feeling it was one of my favorites in the series--enough time has elapsed that I don't recall many things and it is almost as good as reading it for the first time.

Tek, Vicki and Lori - Sounds like you are planning a nice event!

Janeta - welcome back from Scotland. Hope it was an enjoyable trip.

One of our church choir members put together a video of their trip to South Africa (last September). They used their choir music as the background of all the photos and it was wonderful. Only bad thing--made me sad that I wasn't there on that excursion. Terrific event.

Dinner-time!

Just a quick note, My Mom just told me that a guy I knew of died. so I guess I won't get much sleep tonight. darn it, right before I head to bed she tells me this. cry.gif

Hey guys wave.gif Sorry to be a few days missing again. Blame Tek! She got me started on these dang OutLander novels. You get a lot of bang for your $8. each book is 1000 or more pages, in small print. Even with as fast as I read it's taking me about 2 and 1/2 days per book. I just started book 4 and there are 6 total so far plus a spin off with 2 books I think. Anyway, been trying to catch up on stuff I missed doing for the last few month Still lots of stuff I can't and won't be able to do for a while like pick stuff up from the ground, sit up in a chair for long periods, { I can recline if I have alot of lower lumbar surport} and my endurance stinks but all told I'm hugely better.

SPN was outstanding tonight, I'm not sure that series isn't starting to run neck and neck with Farscape jawdrop.gif It's past Buffy for me. Doing suck a great job with the angels, no happy sparkles with these guys.

Still making my way through BtVS, approaching midway in S4. S4 has been a bit patchy so far but (I won't be popular with this opinion!) I'm glad the 'Angel' spin off means we see less of him uhoh.gif , I mean I like evil Angelus but the tortured soul Angel / Buffy thing had been pushed as far as it could go IMO. The real star of BtVS now, I am sure, is Spike as James Marsters as he TOTALLY steals any scene he is in nod.gif. I'm so glad JW decided to keep Spike and not kill him off. I loved the Buffy / Spike "engagement in 'Something Blue', and 'Hush' is a brilliant episode with the creepiest villains of the series so far and Giles' slide show was so funny, as were so many of the gestures (some very crude ones lol.gif ) as they struggled to communicate.

I won't be able to see the final episodes (season?) of BSG until the DVDs come out which should be in June - I've got my pre-order in nod.gif
I'm a Spike fan. I really thought Angell brought the show down. I got the boxed set of Angel when it was on sale month ago thinking maybe I missed something but still haven't been able to finish first season. I did like and watch the last season but that was just because of Spike being there. He really pushed everyone's game up altho I always thought the supportting cast was outstanding, I mainly had trouble with Angel. Funny, cause I don't mind Bones and it pretty much the same acting.

Last two hours of BSG this weekend eek.gif Wonder if I should drug myself lol.gif

I hit some random key and not only lost my post but shut my computer down. bawl.gif


I got bad news today sad.gif I realised I thought my current contract ends a month earlier than I'd thought. Not a pleasant piece of knowledge, given that it's unlikely any new grant will be funded in time to pick up where this one leave off... So now I have only 3 months guaranteed salary left, instead of 4, and unemployment is looking more and more likely sad.gif I don't want to be unemployed!!!! The time at home would be welcome, but not the lack of money sad.gif

Big Niece also had bad news. She hasn't broken her arm... but she has broken her shoulder and her wrist sad.gif So she can't ride in the competition she's entered into next month. Her first competition - she was so excited about it. Her recovery will be long as well, as they can't set the shoulder like they normally do, because treatment depends on her being able to take the weight of her arm on her wrist. And she can't do this, because it's broken as well! Poor Niece sad.gif

Why is life so hard all the time? look.gif frown.gif
YIKES!!! Sorry about all of that. YIKES!!!! We've taken a huge pay cut just cause DV had cut back on taking any new patients last summer after his blood clot. Then he kept his schedule light cause of leaving for Euro, then he would have picked up full practice but I got so sick he had to leave it at half so now we are paying for it sad.gif He's seeing new patients but it takes a while to build back to full load.

I watched the BSG special. I taped 'Castle'. Too sleepy to watch it right now though yawn.gif

I need to find some 'green' to wear to before tomorrow. I really don't want to be pinched 20 times by my students wink.gif

Night all sleep.gif
How was the BSG special? I hope they put it up on HULU or Skiffy. I watched Castle.

DV and Michael are packing for an impromptu trip to Miami. DV wants to see Wake play. I hope they win Firday, I'm hate for them to spend all that money to go see one game sad.gif I wished they'd seeded for Greensboro instead. Anyways, I'll be all alone this weekend sad.gif

FRAKEN reading that Outlander Series!!! I don't even LIKE historical romance but none of this is mushy at all and it's very heavy on history.

LT You said you read the first one but didn't like something? What was it?

OK I've got to go print e-tickets for DV and then hopefully get to read.
