    As I don't watch TeeVee - the same is true for movies. Better uses for
    my limited time left on this mud ball .... like reading books or
    playing solitaire. Bv)=

    OK, just saying that in this case, the movie is so much better than the book.

    It wouldn't have to be very good to be better than *that* book.

    Same as "Forrest Gump" is a lot better as a movie than the book.

    Another one I have neither read nor viewed. Bv)=

    ... Get shopping while the gettin' is good!!!

    An admirable sentiment. But I'm not a shopper .... unlike my sister
    and my ex-wife. They'd go into stores "shopping" with no intention of buying a single item. To them "shopping" meant nosing around.

    If I have a need I check price and availability, go to the store, get
    my item(s), pay up and go home. In store marketing displays/clever placements have scant effect on me.

    Depends on the store/need. I'll be in/out of a hardware or auto parts store fast but take my time and browse a craft or fabric store. Grocery stores--if it's a new one to me or one I'm not in very often, I'll
    browse. If it's one I've been in many times and I'm in a hurry, it's in and out, quick. Wegman's--browse.

    Not how I do things at all. Maybe it's a guy thing. I known the layouts
    of the stores I frequent so I don't have to browse. Hy-Vee has what I
    think is a great deal (now being copied by Meijer) - if you buy a minimum amount (U$30) they will pick your order and have it ready for you at a specified time. I drive in, a minion comes to my car and asks my name.
    Then s/he loads the items into my vehicle and I'm off. Sort of Wham, Bam,
    Thank you, Sam"

    If you buy U$100 worth they'll deliver to your house. That may be a big
    reason they were the #2 stupormarkup chain in that survey list I posted.

    Hi Dave,

    OK, just saying that in this case, the movie is so much better than the book.

    It wouldn't have to be very good to be better than *that* book.

    Same as "Forrest Gump" is a lot better as a movie than the book.

    Another one I have neither read nor viewed. Bv)=

    I saw the movie, after it came out on DVD. The Doors did the music sound track--mostly late 60s/early 70s music, songs I grew up with.

    I like to browse stores I'm not familiar with, just to get an idea of
    what they have to offer. Wegman's, being so big and carrying a wide
    variety of stuff gets more browsing, at least for now until it becomes familiar.

    what I
    think is a great deal (now being copied by Meijer) - if you buy a
    minimum amount (U$30) they will pick your order and have it ready for

    We've yet to try a delivery service. Closest we've come was in Berlin
    where the commissary had a delivery concession--you took the stuff you
    bought to them (in the same building) and they handled getting it to you
    for a fee. Really nice when our elevator was out for replacement (it
    took several months to do the job); we lived on the 7th floor.

    Hi Dave,


    Same as "Forrest Gump" is a lot better as a movie than the book.

    Another one I have neither read nor viewed. Bv)=

    I saw the movie, after it came out on DVD. The Doors did the music
    sound track--mostly late 60s/early 70s music, songs I grew up with.

    Alan Silvestri did the sound track. And used a nember of different

    Williams. And with
    Willie Nelson. Bv)=

    And, as you say, all pretty familiar - except the Silvestri stuff
    written just for the flick.

    Which was in keeping with the general music of the times. There's a
    scene filmed in a seafood restaurant, supposedly the one Forrest and Lt.
    Dan started in memory of one of the members of their Viet Nam platoon.
    When we new to Savannah, we went to a new to us seafood place, found out
    that it was the one used in the film. Had a good meal that night, went
    back a few months later--they must have had a different cook as the meal
    wasn't as good. We went several more times while stationed in GA;
    usually the meal was back to the higher quality we had the first time.
    That first time we decided to eat outside as it was a warm night--found
    out that the porch also hosted a number of cats who liked to get hand
    outs (and petting) from guests. They didn't get any food from us but did
    get attention between courses.

    Lovesick Blues by Cliff Friend & Irving Mills
    Performed by Hank Williams

    On The Road Again Written and Performed by Willie Nelson

    Against The Wind by Bob Seger
    Performed by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band

    Basically a soundtrack that I could listen to--and understand the words,
    unlike some of what is called "music" these days. (G)
