men in trees shoot at deer on ground, using shotguns

Actually I prefer an AK. More sustainable fire power.

Alright, I can see I have to inform you uncivilized peeps

Men In Trees- A famous NYC relationship expert, Marin (writes best sellers, talk show circuit, etc) goes up to Elmo, Alaska to give a seminar. During the flight she accidentially discovers that her own fiance is cheating on her with a good friend. She lands in Alaska a total wreck but tries to put act normal and not let anyone know what happened. She is WAY out of her element with her fancy clothes and shoes. She doesn't understand the laid back, mostly male population of this town. Mail order bride, no museums or culture, wild animals, etc. In the end she decides maybe she needs a change and can hide in AK for awhile while she figures things out. She even has a friend that moved there too and was engaged to a local man (until he was struck by lightening at their wedding and now has amnesia ). In the meantime Marin has met a hunky man (hubba hubba , Jack) and has made friends and even landed a part time radio show gig. It's a fish out of water show, and did I mention the hunky guy ??

October Road- A 28 year old guy moves back to his hometown after leaving 10 years earlier and never going back. Despite the fact that he had great friends and a high school sweetheart who were all waiting for him. While he was gone he wrote a "fictional" book about small town life describing all of the people he knew in mostly unflatering ways. When he finally shows back up in town he is met with less than open arms. His high school sweetheart now has a son that *might* be his and is engaged to his childhood arch enemy, he is getting mixed welcomes from his old buddies and has to prove to them that he isn't going to leave town again. He decides to stay and teach a writing class at the local college, but lost that job at the beginning of this season. Now he has opened a window business with his best friend. He is rebuilding his relationship with his dad and brother too.

Both shows are a nice change of pace from all of the crime shows and reality crap thats on tv now. They have characters you can care about, and you aren't totally lost if you miss an episode. In fact after my descriptions you could probably watch this week and follow right along. O.R is on Mondays and M.I.T is on Thurs.

We now return to our scheduled programming.....

Any hubba hubbas in O.R.?

I'll try to catch MIT on thurs. DH will be out of town, so I won't be risking opposition. It sounds like those "mindless" books I sometimes like to read.

Thanks for the plot descriptions

Aside from Disney Channel, I am sort of TV illiterate.

figures the tramp has to go to alaska to meet men. Sounds like a boring lifetime movie to me. I'd rather watch TJ Hooker reruns.

Hey Pete~I just made it to the honorable level of 1300 posts! If you'll recall me comparing you to a sly James Bond (or something like that) when you made it~ any words of wisdom or encouragement from your experiences?

 

[2goofycampers]

I was just wondering if any oldtimers [not in age but wisdom] can tell me what happens when you add people to your buddy list on the forum ?

I'm not sure. I just added you to my buddy list. You are the first one I've added, so lets see what happens.......

I wish I had knowledge to pass on, past the 1300 post plateau, however, I cannot. I know I look a lot like James Bond, women often get me confused. Not that I'm not confuse already.

 

[2goofycampers]

I just signed on to keep another baby. It is temporary, so I agreed. Today was the first day and he screamed non-stop. .

How is the new baby doing today?

Anything?

I just went off to have lunch, so I've been away for a little while.

Not that you're not, could not, maybe not already but had been or could be in the future. Confusing? I wrote that and didn't even follow it myself. JamesPeteGatordadBond.

He's here only on Mondays and Thursdays. I feel free as a bird! Actually a bit too free. I haven't accomplished nearly enough today. Just a few loads of laundry and some spelling lessons between posts. My errand list is still long. I have a breakfast in the morning I need to organize for. Blah blah blah. I'm afraid I'll have to excuse myself in a little while.

I just got some great ideas for what to do with the Wonder Beagle's droppings on my next trip to the Fort!

 

[ntsammy5]

I wonder how many times he's been attacked

 

[ftwildernessguy]

I like his car - I bet it would pass as a golf cart at the Fort

I like that car too. A charity was setup at the Dallas RV show selling raffle tickets for a Smart car. Of course I had to contribute. They get something like 50-60mpg.

If you search through some of the heavy duty hauler threads on rv.net you'll find a couple of rigs that have the smart car loaded on a ramp crossways directly behind the cab. Pretty cool.

They'd have to bury you in it if you were ever in an accident, though

I'm not sure my little Saturn SC2 is a whole lot better.
