<t>:wah: I love the responses. I agree - but I suppose the entertainment factor wins in a situation where you have two filthy rich, attractive young women living the "simple" (read: normal) life! I've caught a couple of episodes this season and just wonder what makes them tick. I couldn't say half ...

<t>Thank you, everybody, for your helpful remarks. Pinky, I generally share your viewpoint and I think if it had been anyone else, I would have confronted the person by now. For some reason, because the situation involves my best friend, I'm nervous. I guess I don't want to hear something terrible ...

<t>Thank you, Valerie. I'm so sorry about your friend. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts.<br/>

I have to admit I'm somewhat scared to get in touch with her now. I tend to take things personally (at least when it involves those I'm close to) and my emails and messages going ...

<t>Has anyone watched the Simple Life on E! this year? As ever, it's got biting commentary from Nicole, somewhat bland yet inexplicably interesting dialogue from Paris (who knew she was so quiet? It's got to be a trick, right?), and the usual hijinks. The difference seems to be that Paris and Nicole ...

Ahhh. I love Upstairs, Downstairs. I only recently started watching when it aired on my local public station. I caught Karen Dotrice (Jane Banks from Mary Poppins) in it!

I do a lovely Dot Cotton imitation, I like to think (minus the ciggies). And I can even do Father Ted!

<t>I think I sort of stumbled upon my career quite accidentally. I'm a writer. Never anticipated I'd be working from home or dealing with all manner of assorted clients every day of the week (some nutty, some normal). <br/>
<br/>
There are days I want to do something different, though. But writing ...

:wah: I hope that's the last time I hear that one

Thanks for the welcome!

<r>I'm completely new here but this forum is probably the best place for me to turn right now regarding a problem I'm experiencing with my supposed "best friend." We haven't spoken at all since last September! I've known her since the age of 11 (we're 30 now) and she basically ceased all ...

Hi there, everyone! Just ran across this forum and thought I'd say hi. Looks like such a fun and lively board. It's good to be here.
