FREAP CHAT ~ Everyone Welcome!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I think it is more about giving you a leaner look than hiding your skin.

Now I am bummed I didn't check my mail today. Please don't revoke my FREAP membership - it was raining all day & I hate to leave the kids in the house alone when I walk down the street to the box.

So, I wonder if I too have the Spanx waiting for me, or any walmart freebies, or the coke lawsuit goodies. The suspense is killing me. Darn - still raining

Revolutionary War, eh? What did you think of the movie, The Patriot?

OMG- THAT is my favorite movie! I can't even count how many times I have seen it- actually when I watch it I can now say the parts along with the actors And I am so pathetic I sometimes use some of the phrases in my daily life

I have it on VHS AND DVD! However, I will still watch it anytime it is on TV.

ETA- And on our trip to Charleston- we did visit Middleton Place!

"Colonel Tavington, why, after six weeks, am I still here at Middleton place attending a ball in South Carolina while I should be attending balls in NORTH CAROLINA?"

Ok, so I finally found the kashi crackers that I had a free coupon for - from vocalpoint. My cashier was obviously new. Had a hard time with the buy 3 diapers & get a $5 giftcard transaction. Argued that I didn't really buy the soap I had the coupon for. I didn't check my receipt until I got home & now I see that she did not take off the $2.99 for the crackers. Of course, I could go back - BUT, it's like 20-25 minutes away & I'd use 2 gallons of gas to get there and back...more that the cost of the darn crackers. I just hate it when stuff like this happens. There, I said it. Now I shall move on...

Well, if you are going to head back over there any time soon, take your crackers and receipt and tell them you had a coupon for a free box and the checker did not give you credit for the coupon. I did that the last time the checker did not give me the coupon credit and they gave me back the value of the coupon + 10%. I was very pleased....I didn't even have to prove I had given the checker the coupon. They were real good about it too. Don't give up on Target.

My DH just got in from the airport. He is a volunteer airport shuttle for people coming in for the Savannah Film Festival hosted by SCAD where he teaches. He was supposed to pick somone up(who never showed) unknown, and went to check on others that were waiting..who happened to be Lynn and Vanessa Redgrave. He is quite a chatter/charmer, so he entertained them for about 20 minutes about the "subtleties" of Southern "speak". At one point the ladies asked him if Savannah was any where "near" (culturally) New York, DH said "about 30 years".. He is always coming across famous people, and this week a lot of them will be here.

He also got to meet Timothy Dalton, looking for a lift..

Michael Douglas is receiving a lifetime achievement award, so he and Catherine will be here..DH may go to the coctail party after the awards..

I LOVE living vicariously through others!

I loved when she was cutting the eye out!

My DH was an extra and played one of the British soldiers...I'm telling the truth, so don't report me to that other website!!

He's scheduled to pick up the guy that played the Green Goblin's son in the Spiderman movies...neither one of us can remember his name..

He's a "cool cat" when he meets famous people. Once he was in the Gibson guitar factory in Bozeman, MT taking atour. He decided to go in "this" door instead of following the tour..ended up being a bunch of guys sitting around with Randy Travis. DH pulls up a chair and sits in on the conversation..They all sit around and BS for awhile, then they all get up and leave .....Yep, I know what you're thinking...he's a good liar, but I have him figured out...Me, if I met someone famous, I would wet myself....

Ok, so this explains a lot. We went to eat at the mall and so I could get my free VS panties tonight I there were SO many young people in SCAD shirts. More than normal.

OMG hrh! I eat eggs- but after watching that- I am going to picture them with a face and I do not eat anything with a face!

Would someone please explain Spanx to me? I saw the woman who invented them on Oprah, and I really didn't get an idea about them other than they are footless pantyhose kind of things? If they are footless, doesn't the end of the leg show up and then your entire naked foot? I know they are wonderful because of the success and I am totally not understanding the concept..please explain...thank you...

OK, I went and found a picture..still confused. Do they hide completely under your skirt?? Why wear them at all if there is no coverage on your legs???I am ignorant, I have lived in the south for 22 years and we don't wear panyhose, we go barelegged...

They are basically a lightweight girdle. They smooth out all the bumps and dimples (not that I would know anything about those. )

You can save yourself about $50 and just cut the feet (or the entire lower leg) out of a cheap pair of support hose.

Well thank you for clearing that up.. I will save myself even more $$ and just wear the underwear-skip the support part...if it bulges, dimples or hangs out..oh well............

Yes, that's his name! He arrives next Friday, DH will be picking him up at the airport.

Yes, he was one of THEM...They had to wear full wool uniforms in the SC blazing heat-90 degrees, standing around in a cow pasture. They would stand there for hours, or lay down if they were shot..the directors were kind of brutal..until DH formed a "union" and had everyone sign it so they could get more pay, more breaks (they had to go to the bathroom just standing out in the open field..not so bad for guys, but there were a few women posing as male soldiers too..it was pretty bad) basically better treatment. It worked!! So he was a rebel FOR the British Army!!

He said that Jason Isaacs was a very nice guy, perfect Bristish gentleman. Mel, of course, was a prankster,always having a trick up his sleeve...and he smoked like a chimney. Heath Ledger, who was a newcomer at the time, ate lunch with the extras often, very humble,nice kid. DH got to be a stand in for an actor playing opposite Mel, so he got to see him up close...


The scene were Tavington is having surgery-the guy sewing him up is MY DH!!! Unfortunately anything recognizable is on the cutting room floor....It was a great experience for him...it had lined up with a break in work so it was perfect..He says he can spot himself on the DVD...I can't see him on it!

it's like a modern day girdle without the stays, or a body shaper. They are suposed to be more comfortable than a lot of the spandex sausage tubes they sell nowadays so that us curvey girls who have reached the age of jiggle can still wear shift dresses and skinny slacks and look good in that Mrs. Robinson sort of way. You know mature but still stylish.
