very funny, i had a good laff doing this!!!!!!!! thanks Kenny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great movie, i really enjoyed it and it was nice to see so many people out at the movies to see a western again.The story is much along the lines of the original starring Glenn Ford, but there is the odd twist and turn. Ben Foster is great as a baddie, oh i so wanted him to get shot!!!!!!! Christian bale was very good as was Russell Crowe, although as a baddie i would have liked to have seen Russell a bit nastier! All in all a good yarn, i prefer the original but then i always like the original movies. Sometimes you need to leave the original alone, case in point get Carter and Alfie, oh my gosh what where people thinking when they re-made these?????? i mean you CANNOT get any better than Micheal Caine in these two roles, and Alfie just didn't have the impact as it did back in the 60's.Also not so sure about Sleuth, it was great when Laurence Olivier and Micheal Caine did it back in the 70's, just not so sure that Jude Law can pull it off even with Micheal Caine in the role that Laurence Oliver had.I saw a trailer of it yesterday and I'm just not sure about it. Watch this space as they say!! But go see 3:10 to Yuma it was very good.

Ribbon storage!

Look what my wonderful man made me!!!!!!!! Ain't it grand! i had so much ribbon, it was everywhere, so i asked him if he could make me something to store it all in/on so he came up with this!!!!it's just great i love it and him all at the same time, hes so clever!!!!!!

Travels

A Scrap booking friend had this up on his site and i thought how interesting.He had visited pretty much the south of the country whereas I have done the central part of the states!! the Ohio is when i first came over here, i landed in Ohio and got a flight to Dallas where i met the man of my dreams!!!!!!!! He was waiting for me and it was a wonderful reunion, full of romance and dreams and here i am 7 years on, so very much in love still and loving every minute i spend with him.
We have been on 2 road trips with my Brother, in 2004 we went to Kansas,Nebraska,South Dakota,Wyoming and Montana.In 2006 we went to Kansas, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico,Texas and home again!I love the road trips, it is always a hoot and so much fun and to see the beauty that America has to offer. We fell in love with Colorado, it is so beautiful, so much to see and do there.Just wonderful. AS for monument valley, breathtaking, and to actually follow on the footsteps of the duke................priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few Layouts

I am currently working on a scrapbook for my brother and myself of a trip we took in 2004 to Montana, Wyoming,South Dakota etc. I'm really rather pleased with it, it's taking a long time cos I'm being very picky with it, some LO's are OK others i love but its coming together slowly.

Anon....

To the person that posted an Anon comment about me needing more UV education........did you not read the bit i added from medicinenet.com??............it says to limit your time on tanning beds and other artificial sources, you obviously haven't lived with anyone that has/had skin cancer, believe me my friend its scary.If you want to go tan then by all means do so, just limit yourself, i personally know a few people that go 4 times a week and more, they love it. they themselves admit that they can't do without it, they have to have that bronzed look, and the darker they are the better as far as they are concerned. Healthy sun is GOOD for you, just don't lie in it for hours and hours and expect not to suffer from it.We all need sunlight, its provides vitamin D, helps SAD ( seasonal affective disorder, which i might add i have!!!) and a whole host of other benefits....... I'm trying to avoid Melanoma, cos I've seen them cut skin off because of it...makes me shudder!!!!!!!!!!

Skin Cancer

My sweet Hubby has had yet another mole removed because it was showing signs of bad cells.he had one removed from his head last year that was definitely melanoma, he had 17 stitches in that one, the one the other day was not nearly so bad.The one on his head they did a biopsy there and then and kept coming back to take more skin off, they like to take a wide margin so that they get all the bad cells. Afterwards i told him he would be great to scare the kids at Halloween, all we needed to do was paint his scar black and put little lines across it!!!! But seriously, it makes me SO mad when i hear of people going to tanning salons...............do these people not know what it does to your skin??? you are in affect cooking your skin.The need to get the perfect tan is ridiculous, your skin is dying when you tan,why do you think when you get sunburn that your skin peels???? it's because it is dead people.I embrace my white,pale, milk bottle look, you wont get me anywhere near a tanning bed, and don't get me started on the evils of tanning beds. they are seriously bad for your health.The uv rays on those things are so much stronger than the sun so you do twice as much damage.Mark my words, if you tan on those things more than once a week, i will see you at the dermatologists office in a few years sitting next to my hubby as he goes in for check ups, only you will be having melanomas removed.
Incidentally, my hubby has these moles removed because as a child ( hes 51 now) he was out playing in the sun and got severe sun burns, the knowledge just wasn't around 50 odd years ago that the sun was bad for you, so as kids we all played for hours in the heat of the day and got lobstered, now he's paying for it.He's moley anyway but now when he goes out in the sun we cover him in sunscreen and head gear and anything else we can lay our hands on.Melanoma can be caught if early enough BUT YOU HAVE to do what you can to keep out of the sun and make sure you wear sunscreen and educate your kids early to slather their skin and keep em safe. OK lecture over!!!!!!!!!


A couple of reasons that casue melanoma ( with thanks to medicinenet.com)
Severe, blistering sunburns: People who have had at least one severe, blistering sunburn as a child or teenager are at increased risk of melanoma. Because of this, doctors advise that parents protect children's skin from the sun. Such protection may reduce the risk of melanoma later in life. Sunburns in adulthood are also a risk factor for melanoma.


Ultraviolet (UV) radiation: Experts believe that much of the worldwide increase in melanoma is related to an increase in the amount of time people spend in the sun. This disease is also more common in people who live in areas that get large amounts of UV radiation from the sun. In the United States, for example, melanoma is more common in Texas than in Minnesota, where the sun is not as strong. UV radiation from the sun causes premature aging of the skin and skin damage that can lead to melanoma. Artificial sources of UV radiation, such as sunlamps and tanning booths, also can cause skin damage and increase the risk of melanoma. Doctors encourage people to limit their exposure to natural UV radiation and to avoid artificial sources.
