I've had my accounts hacked in the past (I've even received e-mails from myself hawking everything from viagra to aluminum siding and everything in-between)

That is so funny. Thanks for the head up dahling!!

okay...first, when I start to type DS in address bar, I'm used to it taking me here. But, again, since clearing my history, errors.
Now, I see different things, like DSboards7.0, DSboards20.0, etc.
Typed it in, got in, put it on my address bar.
At the bottom of page, it shows New Posts, etc...there's a different one that says, Redirect Board. I can't actually do anything with this, but still......HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS ACCESSING THE BOARDS!!!

For our home ISP, we have Windstream (it's I suppose comparable to Comcast or Verizon), DSL.

It's the 'main' e-mail when asked by schools, work, etc.

For my Amazon & Google stuff, I have a gmail account (I also have a separate gmail via my school).

I just went to our Windstream e-mail; there were 150!! e-mails.

I looked at them (not one by one, but by what I new was sales pitches, etc).

There were more than 10 which had various 'message lines' stating shipping news, etc.

I have been getting quite a few DVDs via Amazon, plus Christmas is coming, so have been doing shopping. Don't know why I'd be getting emails through Windstream, but hey, wanted to make sure.
Again, they all had different Message Lines (most 'seemed' like they were from USPS), but when I opened, they were all various DHL shipping things; lines which read, "We tried to deliver your package...." (I have two unemployed daughters plus my son just went back to school on Friday...DON'T TELL ME NO ONE WAS HERE TO RECEIVE A PACKAGE!!)

Again...I really feel uneasy with it 'seeming' like it's USPS but really DHL.

Just wanted everyone to make sure to NOT reply;;;;there was no real routing type# (I wouldn't have bothered anyway; most Amazon comes via USPS).

Be careful!!

Heck, people are still comparing Johnny as Willy Wonka to Michael Jackson, despite the fact that as far as I know, Jackson never, never had a haircut like that.  (It was the pale face and sunglasses, I guess, but c'mon, is every pale person in sunglasses Michael Jackson?

That's funny!!      )  Oh well.

Patti, I think that Johnny would take it as a compliment that you consider him a character actor.  I think that's what he's always tried to be- he's often said how he is uninterested in any of the typical "leading man" roles.  I think the closest he ever came was in Chocolat, where he was basically there as eye candy    But even then, he got to do an Irish accent and play the guitar, so he still did something to make the part "his own."

I've never seen Chocolat, I didn't know he was 'eye-candy' (that's not a stretch at all!)
Please though, don't forget about Secret Window, with the wonderful John Turterro (sp); it's such a multi-layered, wonderfully done movie.

I really didn't know that JD did want to be a leading man....glad for the compliment....and hey, comparing him to Jack Elam IS high praise...

Patti

I can't believe JD would be 'box office poison'; he's very, very well-liked in US, no??

I personally never liked the Lone-Ranger show, so, I would not have gone to see it. I've lived in Georgia for 7 years now, and hey, it's a banner time; I've been to the movie theatre 4 times (which is seriously about 10 times more than the prior 15 years, I kid you not).

Funny, I had been thinking about starting a thread...now's a good a place/time as any.

I love Johnny Depp. Believe he's a very talented actor.

But, having said these things....I believe JD is/has become a 'character actor'.

(For me, until very recently, the phrase 'character actor' summoned the picture of the wonderful Jack Elam for me...don't know why.)

I don't mean he is 'only' a 'character actor', but it does seem (with a few terrific exceptions) that he does play characters
Barnabas
Tonto
Edward Scissorhands
all the 'Pirate' movies/Jack Sparrow (I think that's the 'character's' name)...

A terrific exception would be his character in "Secret Window", which of course I own!!!

All IMHO,

Patti

MichaelC, I absolutely love this interjection!!!!

Hooray, and hey, curse you!!

So,  Nosferatu was the first mentioning of a vampire not going into the 'Son/Sun' light (y'all do know, it's a 'play' on words)?
