oh, this is right on the tip of my brain!! I can hear the line, I know it's something I saw recently and I just can not think of it.... :doh: This is gonna bug me until I think of it or someone else gets it.

Everyone seemed to like the movie quote game a ton and it's still going pretty strong, but what about the tunes?? 
Give us the opening line to a favorite song. The person who guesses it first then takes a turn and gives us their opening line. (Just like the movie game) Remember....no googling 
If this one comes on the radio I always turn it up.....
Like a fool I went and stayed too long, now I'm wondering if your love's still strong

I think they (she) want you to buy her tape....the company that pulled (at least one of) the youtube videos is her own management group. I think they're trying to stop copyrighted materials from being shown for free out on youtube. Understandable. But if you think about it her site and name probably saw a 1000% boost from the youtube videos.....I'd never heard of her before, can't be the only one.
:hug:
~Chrissi
Yep, that's it....told you it was easy!
It's your turn...come up with a good one... I TRIPLE-dog-dare ya! :crackup:
:hug:

I know it too Gail, so I'm going to throw another out here to keep the game going :dance:
This is an easy one..... (and a movie that holds a ton of hilarious quotes)
"I can't put my arms down!"

Alrighty, I'm going for Daphne's.......Meet Joe Black...and it's a line used by both Brad & Anthony (I think Mr Hopkins has one of the greatest voices in movies...no one else could have made fava beans & chianti memorable).
I don't have cable in my studio and I can never seen to work well with just music playing...SO, I play movies all day n night as background noise. I have a case of them that I listen to all the time and then I rent old standards really cheaply. (A great deal of my bears are named from the movies that are on during their creation...Toby,Truman, Henry, Bertram, Polly, Junior, Jack are just a few off the top of my head...all from movies )

I LOVE potatoes! I'll bake a potato and top it with just about anything...from salsa, broccoli & Cheese, Chili (my hub loves baked beans on his!). Another easy potato recipe for breakfast, lunch or dinner is this one:
Cube the potatoes (1 inch cubes are good)
put them into a plastic bag with a zipper or ziplock seal (so nothing can leak out) you can put them into a container with a tight lid too.
add about 1-2 Tablespoon of olive oil, shake the bag/container to evenly coat the potatoes with the oil. Now sprinkle with your favorite seasonings. I use minced onion, garlic and an all purpose seasoning that's got the basics in it like black pepper, parsley, celery seed, basil, thyme, organic oregano, etc. Shake up the potatoes again to coat with the seasoning and then just dump them out onto a roasting pan or cookie sheet in a 350f/180c oven until they're golden brown. EASY! Great with eggs in the morning and as a side dish at dinner.

I haven't bought an actual Ott light yet, but a few months back I started using a natural light desk lamp and oh my GOSH did it make all the difference in the world!! I can't hand sew with out it now, it's a total necessity. 
Since then I've tried out a few different brands and levels of natural light bulbs to see which ones I really like the most. Some are warmer, some a little too intense. You can find the bulbs most anywhere now, might be another option for you...until you can OTT the whole house

I don't think there's any possible way that you could offend by bidding for such a fantastic cause. 
Even outside of this particular event, bidding on a fellow artists bear is perfectly fine & sometimes the only way you're able to purchase. Good Luck with your bids!!

HA ha ha...I almost used that one last night too!! -never had one lesson-

PS..in highschool we would do this all the time, throw movie quotes around. We called it our "vast reservoir of semi useless knowledge"
BINGO! A young Corey Feldman, as Mouth, in the wishing well.
Now you're it Melissa

Ok, so how about this one......
"This one, this one right here. This was my dream, my wish. And it didn't come true. So I'm taking it back. I'm taking them all back. "

Hello!
I have a few questions about growlers. I've bought a couple and wanted to know if there's a preferred way of placing them. Meaning is it more common to growl on the way into a hug or away from the hug...which way to you place it??? I did search the library and found one thread, but it was mostly about liquid soap and chocolate bars 
I saw in that thread that lots of folks think the growlers sound like moo'ers, but I've also searched out a few sound files and bears do have that kind of sound. So, with so many more users out here now and so many more being collectors I'd like to ask again....do you like a bear with a growler?? Would a growler turn you off from a bear?
:hug:

Daphne,
What about "logs" for adding height and interest to your table? Maybe a 2-3 inch thick flat circular cut, well sanded top with the bark still attached. If you could get a longer/length wise cut for 2-3 bears to sit on that might be cool too. Maybe light weight faux resin river stones or faux fall leaves placed here or there on the table top (???).
I'm having flashbacks of playing in the woods as a kid

Yes, find a doctor you trust & go to the ER like others have mentioned. My first concern is that you're assuming the physical symptoms are from the meds...the ER could do test to rule out anything else or confirm your concerns.
It is possible, even in today's high tech world, to get a "bad batch" of meds. You just moved too...did the pharmacy do anything with your script?? Double check the dosage, did they substitute a generic or anything that could have caused a sudden change?? I wouldn't stop cold turkey with any regular med. My hub takes meds for a serious back problem.... if he was to stop cold he could face all kinds of issues...like seizures for example. Wanting to get off the meds and maybe find alternative ways of healing and living is fine, but do it with a professional who has your best interest in heart and mind. Good docs are out there...you just have to find them and trust your gut & leave the bad ones.
:hug:
