Re: Pacific Coast Rest-StopIt is strange and every episode is different. The mannequins were actually a reference to a classic episode. The show was started as a children's educational program for science and history, and it .... expanded lol. I really do suggest you try watching some more episodes and keep in mind that the bad guys are supposed to be cheesy

Re: Pacific Coast Rest-StopKeep watching, Rachel! Ryan rolled his eyes the first few episodes, but powered through and got hooked. It gets better. You really get invested in the characters. But yeah, the bad guys are cheesy, and special effects aren't quite like Marvel. Just try a few more.
![]() Ugh...school's back in full swing and I *get* to write boring papers now. Sigh. At least in this class I can tie in more personal experiences. I should have finished my paper tonight but didn't, and now it's time for bed. At least I have a couple more days off, so I'll write it tomorrow. I'm not as far behind this time around, and I'm hoping to get a head start before the holidays. Hope your production is going well, Allison! Ryan had his performance this last weekend, and though he was only in the ensemble, the last night one of the minor characters got food poisoning, and the director asked Ryan to step into the role with only 3 hours to memorize the lines and no practice with the other characters. He managed to pull it off with the audience none the wiser other than the announcement that he would be covering the role that night. He's been on a high for days! He's never been cast into a main role, but after his breakthrough performance on Sunday night, perhaps the director will consider him for the next show. It's been "cold" again here in LA, and I've been using a heated blanket in bed lately. I'm sure it will make some of you laugh to hear that we've been "freezing" in 45 degree weather (nightly lows...the daily highs are still in the mid 60s to low 70s). We still have our resident hummingbird, and he's still actively guarding our feeder, although the other birds have figured out ways to sneak around him from time to time. We're hoping they stay through the winter, and maybe some of the northern hummers will migrate here and visit. Hope the rest of y'all's week is going well. Only two weeks until Christmas!

I don't know, did you see the 3D picture in the 50th.. waaaaay cool. I would love one in my living room. But yes, it is SUPPOSE to be cheesy. And Red, I don't know about you but when I first heard Tom Baker speak in this one, I knew Who he was. He sure has changed over the years, but it is still cool to know the old favorite is still alive. ....JesusPuppy (or just call me Pup)

I know it was him, too (I'd heard rumors he was going to be in it, despite trying to avoid spoilers). I cheered, rather loudly ![]()

Re: Pacific Coast Rest-StopHugs my sweet friend. Becky texted me right after I felt like people would be better off without a fat ugly panic prone blob like me. She and Amy tried to lift me up out of my muck. It was weighing me down quite a bit. I wasn't sure if I could pull through it and find the energy needed to keep my chi n up and my eyes on the Lord, it's hard sometimes, but I am grateful for sweet friends should can show me true love, Thank you to you all here. Remember to lift each other in love and prayer. You guys have helped me more than you ever will know. I love you so much and don't know what I'd be like if not for your love and support I don't know how I would have made it this far. Well, off to bed myself.. Sleep tight and don't let the el-e-phants bite and be good to one another, Hugs

Re: Pacific Coast Rest-StopSo much encouragement to persevere in the Dr. Who watching! I'm not sure if I could get my husband to give it another go. We shall see.
So sorry, Becky. That must be so hard. My FaithWriters profile: RachelM FW member profile
Re: Pacific Coast Rest-StopNight, night, Shann. Friends are such a sweet blessing! I pray that you will sleep well tonight and feel God's love wrap around you like a blanket.

Re: Pacific Coast Rest-Stop
It is a unique show, but it's been going 50 years, so there is more to it than just weird creatures in cheep suits. Some of the stories are fabulous. My husband has this thing against anything BBC produced (he claims he can't understand their accents, but does fine with things like Lord of the Rings) and if it's black and white? Forget it, unless it's something like Three Stooges or I Love Lucy. Our kids, however, are hooked ![]() The 4th Doctor, Tom Baker, was my first and still my favorite. Just keep trying. It truly is a great show.
Re: Pacific Coast Rest-StopOh I don't think I knew it was originally a kids show. That explains why my husband and Pup like it so much!
![]() I know Harry Potter was the opposite. She never intended it as a kids book. Am I the only Harry Potter fan here? I think maybe Jay liked it, yes? ![]() I think my bed is supposed to be delivered today! I best finish painting. Maybe by the end of the weekend I'll be sleeping in a comfy bed! Shann

Re: Pacific Coast Rest-Stop
And here I was GOING to say something nice because you had such a bad day, but NOW... ![]() But I feel for you, you too Kiddo. Sad thing is it never really gets any easier. ![]() Having to reset the comp again. Those factory disks sure do come in handy, specially when I save all my install codes and updates. It takes a while to reset, but works just like when I bought it. ....JesusPuppy (or just call me Pup)

Re: Pacific Coast Rest-StopJust stalling until I *have* to get back to my paper.
![]() Sorry you're struggling, Becky. I was never that close to any of my grandparents, but I would imagine it's a lot like losing a parent if you were really close. My sister-in-law struggled for years after her grandparent died, and several of my cousins are still mourning the loss of my grandma, five years later. She wasn't a believer, so my mom wasn't as close as her sisters were; they took it really hard. Hope you're able to reflect on the good memories. (((hugs))) Listening to the soundtrack of (new) Season 5 for background music. Most of it's nice and quick, which keeps me awake while writing. To get in the holiday mood, I've been alternating that with The Nutcracker. The libraries have great digital music options...I think I've mentioned it before. I've downloaded dozens and dozens of classical favorites through Freegal. Okay, back to my paper. This is my last night to write it before another night at work, unless our census is down and I get standby again. I should check the online schedule and see if people are getting cut tonight; that would let me know the possibility. In other news, we finally got a Costco membership. We browsed the aisles and realized it would be a great option for us. Okay, okay, going, going... Who is onlineUsers browsing this forum: No registered users and 5 guests
