Baking - everything from scratch except for brownies or cake, pretty much what everyone else said

Saint Louis....the only thing that really comes to mind is Meet Me in St. Louis

Hi Everyone! Here is my second go at QOTD:

Are there any tv shows/movies that are set in your hometown/state?

Not that i know of.

 

[Kirby]

I'm having a brain freeze but the first one that comes to mind is Dallas. I think that is what it was called, the one with JR and Southfork in it. See I truely am having a brain freeze.

Walker, Texas Ranger was filmed at different locations in the DFW area.

Also the recent tv show about the two brothers that were in and out of prisons, running contantly from the law. A couple episodes were filmed right here in our town.

There was some movie, Hud or something, that was filmed in Texas. Maybe it was called Giant. I don't know.......

See, I really am having a brain freeze!! I just know that a number of shows have been filmed in Texas.

The first thing that comes to mind is Dirty Dancing was filmed in VA :

 

[BELLEDOZER]

Living in and around Hollywood North we've had alot of films and TV series filmed here. Got notice yesterday that the season premiere of Fringe is going to be filmed on the dead end street across from us (there is an unused school that they are filiming at that is very close to where we live). We get so used to seeing actor/actresses here, that for most part it's not a big deal to us, and for most part leave them to their private lives.

Hawaii Five 0, Lost, Jurrassic Park, and I am sure there are others.


Thank you Monica for being the guest poster of the QOTD.

If you were to make a donation to just one single organization/charity, which one would it be to? And is there a certain reason why you choose that one?

 

[Pooh67_68]

American Cancer Society.

 

[mommytotwo]

American Cancer Society.

Same here. I have had many family, and friends die of cancer, and that is one of my biggest fears.

 

[xanphylus]

Tough question for me..... Can I pick two instead? Cancer society in honor of my dad and several good friends and make a wish- for lots of reasons. I love make a wish! They make terminal and chronically sick kids happy, even if it's only for a moment. My sister in law had a wish granted, a friend in high school and now, maybe my almost nephew.

Any animal charity, ASPCA or Humane Society or smaller ones like the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. I don't really have a reason other than that I love animals and it kills me to see abused animals and I would rather give my money to helping them get better and have a better life

 

[Luv2Roam]

My charities are generally animal related.

 

[Kirby]

I've given to St. Jude, Habitat for Humanity, Dallas Children's Hospital and the Dallas SPCA in memory of people. And I give to the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) just because.

 

[BELLEDOZER]

I would give to Greyhound Pets Inc, the organization that we adopt our greyhounds through. They are truely a greyt bunch of people, and take the welfare of those greyhounds who are being "retired" off the tracks, and make sure that they get forever homes with humans who love their furkids.

 

[leith78]

I'd give to a local charity that helps families out when they need food, clothing, shelter. One of my favorite things to do at Christmas is "adopt" a family through this organization. We pick out a few toys, clothes, etc for the kids, and put together a small gift basket for the parent, filled with useful household items.

With the new year here, many people have different resolutions, and on many peoples lists, losing weight is one of them, so todays QOTD is-


What do you think is the easiest way to lose weight? Feel free to give any tips.

 

[Kirby]

Please do tell, I'd love to know.

For me, it would be to stop drinking cokes, eating chips, eating fast food and eating more of fruits and vegetables. At least that's what I think.

 

[BELLEDOZER]

More good food, less junk food. Avoid sugary sweets, and treats that have high sugar content. And watch your calories.

 

[kristina87]

Watch what you eat, less sugar, don't skip meals so that your metabolism keeps steady. Work out! Too bad its all easier said than done!

It's never been an easy task for me, but I think in addition to what everyone else has suggested, finding a form of exercise that you actually enjoy doing helps. I like walking around our neighborhood, and once the weather gets warmer, I'll be playing outside with my kids a lot.

Also, the number one motivator for me to lose weight is planning a vacation where I'll need to be in shorts and possibly a bathing suit.
