Your husband's website sounds so nice and so worthwhile, good for him!! When I think of all I would have missed out on if I'd never gotten a computer, it makes me even more thankful! Working your PSP program is good exercise for your brain and you can use your creative talents too.


I have a Facebook page and I pop in each day for a few minutes only. It's a good way to keep in touch with family as it's short, not time consuming. I don't play any of the games or pass around hearts or flowers or whatever. I just don't "get" the attraction to that part of it.


I'm about to create another Facebook page that will not reveal my real name or where I live, no photos, etc. It will only be used to communicate with a newly forming group that I am a member of. It's a very worthwhile group with an important cause, not social networking. Something else to keep the brain cells tuned up!


Yes, it's true there is some nice company on the boards too. That's where I come to relax and just shoot the breeze for awhile. :)

Do you use your PSP knowledge to do anything else with it besides siggies?


I'm getting itchy lately to do something different or new and I always lean towards something artistic/creative when I get this feeling. Not sure what I want to do next though. I fooled around with psp a few years ago and it didn't quite do it for me.

Tonight we watched Johnny Depp playing John Dillinger in "Public Enemies". It was excellent of course..JD doesn't do bad..at anything!! There was a very nice yummy looking KISS in it too..WooHoo!!


I had to keep reminding myself that it was about J Dillinger and not J Depp! Hated it when he died..awful to see my Johnny die!! :-((

Yes, that was a good one. Even my husband watched it! I was especially interested in it because it was filmed in locations around Wisconsin - some fairly near me! I could have gone to watch the filming, but didn't want to brave the crowds, lol.

Wow..you were breathing the same air that JD was!! LOL!! I looked up Little Bohemia's website. Interesting! Nice they were able to use the original place in the film. Looks like good foods on their menu too! Have you ever eaten there?


I love watching JD's facial expressions and how different his characters are one from another and how expertly he becomes that character. Of course other actors do the same thing, but they're not JD..LOL! We also always watch the bonus features when we rent a movie too. I like seeing and hearing JD talk. He articulates well.

No, I've never been to Little Bohemia, but I'd like to go there some day.

movies, well gotta tell ya i don't watch many movies. i saw new moon and that was good. bought harry potter and the half blood prince but i have yet to watch it. got space chimps in the mail to watch with my grandson but he hasn't been over to watch it with me yet, so i'm no help there.

books, well i love nora roberts and her wedding series. thought bed of roses was much better than visions in white. loved razor sharp by fern michaels also mr. and miss anonymous. mary kay andrews book deep dish because it was set here in georgia. james patterson's 8th confession and i though patricia cornwell redeemed herself with scarpetta. run for your life by james patterson was pretty good too. the devil's punchbowl by greg iles was good but very wordy. all the thomas kinkade and katherine spencer cape light books were excellent. i could go on and on but i won't. lol
