Curling irons go waaaaaay back.  To 1795 I'm not sure. . but to the 1800s and early 1900s I'm certain. They were heated over the fire or a lamp and then applied to the hair for curls. . .I've seen some very old ones in fashion history books.  

Thanks, J99!

I don't know how those smileys got in there (my last post)  now I know it's late and I better get off this thing!

That has happened to me too, Cassandra.  It's because : and D are the code for the toothless smiley, so if they ever appear next to each other in your text (or any of the other smiley codes, for that matter) that's what'll show up.

Here's what you typed, and you can see for yourself that the smiley code is in there--
3:Donna Waldry,  2:Diana Milay,
You can click "modify" and insert spaces between each : and D, then "save", or just say the word and I'll fix it for you.

ky, Midnte, since you brought up shoes, and are native, can I assume that I will shamefully have the most obscene amount there this year?

Hee hee, yes, I think it's your year!  But you might want to check over your shoulder for ThomJ.  Has anyone heard from him lately, btw, and whether he's coming to the Fest?

I've been wanting to cast my votes for the longest time.  But since VAM didn't set a deadline for voting and I'm somewhat caught up with board stuff this morning (I wish I could say the same for MB), here goes--


Best Actress - NANCY BARRETT
Best Actor - LOUIS EDMONDS
Best Supporting Actress - MARIE WALLACE
Best Supporting Actor - THAYER DAVID
Best Director - LELA SWIFT
Best Writer - VIOLET WELLES
Best Costume Design - FLORA COLLINS' COSTUMES, especially the resplendent red number (not the one on the MPI tape box, but fancier) paired with the ruby and diamond earrings; I'm seeing her in my mind descending the Collinwood stairway, so it must've been PT Flora, or does anyone know for sure?
Best Scene - Roger stops to announce "We'll be back!" before he and Liz, accompanied by Stokes, abandon the great house (and Liz bothered to turn out all the lights-- a nice touch), and as the camera pans the empty house, it comes alive with grammophone music and maniacal laughter, then rests on a certain self-satisfied ghost...

jennifer,

try it this way:

I don't know if this will help, but on the SciFi website, while "The Uninvited" is listed under April 4, since each day on their Schedulebot starts and ends at 6 a.m., the way it's showing up (3 a.m. in the East and also via the West Coast feed) is that it's at the very bottom of their April 4 schedule.  But since clear-thinking people consider that a day begins and ends at 12 a.m., that's actually early in the morning on April 5.  So I'd recommend you check your schedule for 3 a.m. ET on Thursday nite/Friday morning instead of early Thursday morning.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys... It's a FANTASTIC movie!

BTW, no one's said anything about her bizarre death.  Last time I checked, strangling doesn't allow for last words  

Oh, I agree.  It seems they could've found a more plausible way to reveal a killer's identity-- even the tired dropped cufflink scenario that the writers use later was an improvement.

But Suki's last words don't bother me nearly as much as later in the series when victims utter their last words while being strangled.  Argh!


P.S.  Love your new custom title, btw.  I'm so impressed you solved MB's math problem!
