Hi all:

I see lots of new names on the board, and the old Roll Call post is buried somewhere, so let's take a census again, with some new questions :-)

1) Name, phase, how long you've been on the Beach

2) If you could win lunch (SBD friendly, of course!) with anyone (living, dead, or fictional) who would it be? Why?

3) What's your favorite book?

I'll start...

I love the Stephanie Plum series, too!! I laugh out loud so often, my kids think I'm nuts!! If they were to make a movie of them, who do you picture playing Stephanie, Ranger and Joe??????

Hugs,

Cyndie

LOL, this became a BIG debate on Thanksgiving while all the women were cleaning up after dinner (booray for stereotypes in action)...we're all reading them, and we settled on Sandra Bullock, Benjamin Bratt, and Antonio Banderas for Steph, Morelli, and Ranger. Estelle Getty would be the only possible Grandma Mazur, Queen Latifah would HAVE to play Lula, and I'm personally rooting for Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle (the parents on Everybody Loves Raymond) to play Mom and Dad Plum.

What do you think? Any other of the minor characters you've casted?

Shan you may have a new career in casting for the movies. Sounds like a great line up. Teri

OK, Shan...here is my casting list:

Stephanie...I agree...Sandra Bullock has been my choice from the first book...Perfect!

Joe...John Travolta

Ranger...Vin Diesel

Lulu...Queen Latifah...who else...she's perfect for it!

Grandma...got stuck on that one...but Estelle Getty sounds great for it!

Vinny...Danny DeVito

Mom...I'll go along with Doris Roberts

Dad...Bob Newhart...great for a silent suffering role!

Valerie (sister)...Gwenyth Paltrow

What do you think?

Hahahaha.

Oooooooooh, works for me! We discussed Vin Diesel, but us younger women were voted down on that one, and we didn't even think of John Travolta, I'll have to pass that on. As for Danny Devito, we were stuck on Vinny and I CAN'T BELIEVE a bunch of Jersey girls like us didn't think of that one! Although, I'm ashamed to admit there was a pretty vocal "Bon Jovi for Morelli" minority (not me!) ;-)

I'm going to miss it again :-( I have to work tonight. Can you believe this? I work in an electronics department, literally SURROUNDED by TV's with satellite and all that, and we can't get CBS to watch Survivor?! So I'm taping it at home in my low-tech VCR!

Hi all! Yes I too have been lurking around....

My name is Polly, I live in Minneapolis w/my dh and 2 children-3 and 5. I've been on the beach for about 3 weeks and have lost 8 pounds- I am scared to go into p2 but also find that I am starting to veer from my good habits a bit. Any advice on staying motivated?

If I could have lunch with anyone I would probably say........gosh I don't know- just going out to a place that didn't serve happy meals would be a treat!

I love all of the books by Elizabeth Berg!

Hope to chat with you all often,

Polly
