I used to love shopping there for scrapbook supplies and stationery back in Illinois when we lived there.....

Do you have this store where you live and what kind of crafting things do you buy there?

As big as Bakersfield is you would have though we'd already have this store but we do not!
In any case, I am very happy!

We only in the past year got a Dollar General Store!!!

What are some stores and or restaurants you do not have in your town that you would like to?

I wish we had a Cracker Barrel, Ruby Tuesday and MCL restaurants.

There was a discount card store we had in Springfield, though I do not remember what it was called. I LOVED that place, got all my greeting cards there for 25 to 50 cents......

Powells candy would be nice but I would probably weigh a lot more than I do now...........

I've seen the first two episodes of Amish: Brave new World. I will admit, I absolutely HATE the language they use but the characters have hooked me in.

Here are a few coming up I want to watch:

The Fosters ABC Family Channel June 3

SOS Family.....same channel......May 28

Baby Daddy.......same channel......May 29


And a good movie is coming on Lifetime:
"Ring of Fire" 9 PM on Memorial day.
I really REALLY like the movie "Walk The Line" with Joaquin Phoenix. This movie looks like a replica, am curious to see it to compare the two.

I have not been watching "Dancing with the Stars" this season. I just saw the Derek Hough and Kellie Pickler freestyle dance that is all over the internet!
OMGOODNESSGRACIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! How amazing and beautiful that dance was!!! I imagine there wasn't a dry eye in the entire audience!!! If you watch the show, then you know but if you don't, google it and you will be amazed!!!

How about movies coming out at the theatre or on Netflix?

I want to see "The Heat" with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. I just have the feeling the two of them together are going to be HILARIOUS!!!!!

Get ready to laugh with one of TV's favorite families this fall as Lionsgate debuts According to Jim: The Complete Fifth Season on DVD. In this four-time Emmy®-nominated* comedy series, man of the house, Jim (Jim Belushi, TV's "The Defenders") lives with his beautiful wife, Cheryl (Courtney Thorne-Smith, TV's "Two and a Half Men") and their three kids while dealing daily with the joys and pitfalls of normal family life. One of the longest-running live-action comedy series ever on television, "According to Jim" debuts its fifth season as a four-disc set including all 27 episodes and a "Season 5 According to Jim" featurette.


In this earthy family comedy, Jim (Belushi) is the macho "everyman" who challenges wife, Cheryl (Thorne-Smith), with his stubborn manliness but contagious charm. Tagging along with this duo of happily married opposites are their three precocious kids. A success at his construction business and the family breadwinner at home, Jim feeds his other passion, blues music, playing with his six-man garage band. He keeps Cheryl in turmoil with his boyish bravado and ever-willful antics, but their underlying love guarantees that they are in this marriage for keeps.

Award-winning director/producer Jon Burton helms the film from a screenplay by David A. Goodman based on a story from Burton and Goodman. Jeremy Pardon is director of photography, and executive producers are Jill Wilfret and Kathleen Fleming. Executive producers are Benjamin Melnicker and Michael Uslan.

It turns out it’s not just some patients’ imaginations running away with them when they feel like their doctor is as compassionate as he or she should be. A small recent study found a statistically significant amount of difference between the way doctors interacted with thin patients as opposed to obese patients.

The study, published in the medical journal Obesity by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, recorded discussions between 200 patients with high blood pressure and their doctors. When the results were studied, there was no discernible difference in the amount of time doctors spent with patients or the topics discussed, however, they did find that “doctors seemed just a bit nicer to their normal-weight patients, showing more empathy and warmth in their conversations.”

That’s not to say that the doctors were actually mean or harsh to their overweight patients. However, the study’s lead author, Dr. Kimberly Gudzune, said, “They were just not engaging patients in that rapport-building or making that emotional connection with the patient.” In practice, this means that when conversing with thin patients, doctors would make positive comments such as, “I’m glad you’re feeling better” or “You went through a lot.” They were not found to make the same types of comments to obese patients.

The bigger problem with this lack of empathy on the doctors’ parts is that when patients don’t feel like their doctors empathize with them, they are less likely to go to the doctor when they feel ill. In the long run, this could mean that more serious ailments aren’t attended to in a timely manner.
