I want a Trader Joe's so bad...I hear so many people talking about it. Alas, they don't really have any in the Midwest :(

Trader Joe's is the bomb! They have really good, kind of out there stuff. They are pretty expensive unless there's a sale though.
You don't think any of that sounds good Fiona? Do you have any suggestions.Oh! I forgot to tell you, remember my Lush order? It went to my mom!!!! I have this thing on the computer at home that fills in your info if you buy something on-line. The last thing I bought before that I had shipped to her, so I forgot to change the address. She loves it, so I guess I'll order myself some more. She's sending me my free with order tin, though.
It's true, you have to really look at what you are buying there, but they have great cheeses, and cracker spreads. Lots of it is just regular stuff in fancy schmantcy packages though.
oh! I ordered the first season of Tudors on Netflix, I can't remember what thread is always talking about that show.
I have been curious about Dollhouse, I forgot to DVR it when it started though. bummer.24 is my favorite show that comes on right now, by far.
I never really watched Buffy, but have always wanted to. It's right up my alley. I missed Dollhouse too, but I was going to watch it. Did you watch Firefly Allison.
My mom thought my Lush stuff was a gift. I send her stuff all the time. I'll have it shipped right to her, since I have to pay for shipping anyway. I was irritated at first (bad daughter) but realized she was probably right to think I meant it for her. I mean, I would have too, if I was her.
Way before your time, Allison, but I got the complete Incredible Hulk series for my birthday. My kids have been watching it with me and I love, love, love it!
You should watch Firefly. EVERYONE should watch Firefly. It was such a good show. I watch the DVD's over and over. My husband thinks I a freak.
I can't go home early. I have to file a claim but an't do it until 4:30. I'm off at 6 anyway. An hour and a half is just going to put me in traffic. Oh well.
aww, it rocks though! I love it.I sure wouldn't want to be his family/friend/co-worker though, that is true.
I really hate watching anything on t.v anymore. We don't have tivo or dvr or whatever, and I know it's silly, but it stresses me out to miss an episode if I'm into a show. I would rather wait for them to come out on DVD. I'm doing that with Lost now.
I want that Tudors show, and I watch a few shows on HBO. Those you can get in demand even without dvr and a season is only 13 episodes.
I don't watch it anymore, but I loved the Office when I did. I liked the original British one on BBC too. We have all of those on DVD but somehow, a comedy seems a waste of DVD watching time to me.
Yeah, I like him. I also love pretty much any Monty Python, and I used to adore Benny Hill. That guy was such an a@@.
Ruhbarb, for sure. I love that stuff. Have you ever eaten the fresh stalks? They are so good with salt. Yum yum! You seem to have a lot of sweets at your house, Miss Fiona!
I have tried and tried to draw that pig! It comes out horrid. I practiced on a paper, so I'd know what kind to draw, and it was cute...use the mouse and it's crap. I'm not posting that!
Those raspberries look so delicious. They are my favorite anything!Allison, I see you added Shogun. It's the greatest book. I have gone through quite a few copies. I've read it in it's entirety 14 times, but can pick it up and just read a few pages at any point and be happy. Let me know if you really read it.
I haven't seen any of those! We have such different shows and series. How have you seen so many Allison? They can't have all been on your trip, can they? There is a BBC channel here, but I always forget it!
I first read Shogun when I was about 12, so a lot of it went over my head, but still, I devoured it, and it's a huge book. I have read it so many times now, it pops in my thoughts all the time. That's another mini-series I would like to own, but they always want like $100 bucks for it.
Yeah, I saw Cranford...its not available until April on Netflix. I put it on reserve :)I saw Bleak House too, but yeah-I want to read the book first.
I noticed I can watch Mutual Friend instantly from my computer though, perhaps I'll start it tonight.
I watched North and South and Wives and Daughters instantly on Netflix, because they're both by Elizabeth Gaskell.I have the BBC version of P&P...actually, I ordered North and South too, and should be getting it today :)
BBC versions are just always so good
like...I can't download it and watch it on my computer...but I can rent the DVDs and have them shipped.
Kandice, I just love BBC miniseries :) I discovered them through P&P...and just started looking up more and more of them. So I don't really know much about English TV..just BBC series!Books mentioned in this topic
