"Trust is a risk masquerading as a promise."

Thanks, I've never seen the short version. Have you seen the movie?

[xita]

No, I have not. I think the impression would be different depending on what you saw first. I feel a little aprehension at the new one but I am sure I'll see it. What did you think , when you compare the two?

"Trust is a risk masquerading as a promise."

[frau rosenclay]

They were very similar, though the short version was more sexually explicit. The movie would fall under the romantic comedy category.



The casting was different, except for the part of Janet. The actor who plays the villian, Lucy, in the movie version is gorgeous, her name is Jordana Brewster.



If you like the short version, I would definantly recommend the movie. It was put out by Screen Gems, who should be releasing it within the year. I heard the director speak about the film at its premiere, she seemed very cool. The movie had a good message, and it stuck in my head. So I would say it is definantly worth seeing.

Thanks for the repost of D.E.B.S I love that movie. I'll see the full length one if it comes out around here or when it gets DVD release.

frau, did you see it outfest? That was my only chance but I couldn't bare the thought of spending all that money because it played on opening night.

Xita,



Yes, I saw it at Outfest. One of my friends helped executive produce it, and I was lucky enough to get invited to opening night for free. I only live 3 hours from LA, so I drove down, and it was really cool. I am an aspiring actress, so my friend knew I would love being there.



I certainly hope debs gets released soon, as I would love to see it again.

[frau rosenclay]

I was wondering if the kitten board still does the daily thread, and if anyone can still start it?It seems to be on the decline.

I only see them once a week maybe, has the rule changed? I cant find a fac about it.

[maudmac]

Ah, poor daily threads. They've become somewhat few and far between now, haven't they?



No, nothing's changed about the rules for daily threads. Anyone can still make them.

Danke Ms. Maudmac. Lets get on that and get them babies going!

I'm making a desperate plea to the teachers here at the kitten. My nine year old son is having a horrible time with spelling words. I've tried so many different techniques and they seem to frustrate us all. The poor kid does hours of writing which is good practice for penmanship but he isn't retaining the spelling.



Does anyone have any tips?

[skittles]

Urnie,



Find a tape recorder, not just a player, but a recorder. Have him read the words & the spelling into the player. You can even have him set the words to music (music helps in learning) but the idea is to get the words repeated to him via sound instead of print. He can listen to it repeatedly.



Music makes for a good memory plant, so that might be a way to start.



I'll look for other stuff & let you know.

[frau rosenclay]

Dear Urn Of Osiris,



I know this does not work with all words, but sometimes certain words spell things out:



together = to get her.



That is one way to help retain some of the words.



Reading helps with spelling. I like skittles idea, possibly your son learns best by listening, or visualy/spatialy. Mayber finding out what type of learning works best for him would help determine a course of action.

[xita]

I will help as well. I think reading improves spelling a lot. There isn't anything better than familiarity with words. There are other specific phonetic rules that you can teach him. If you're interested, I could prepare a little something to cover the more useful ones. Also something that can probably be helpful is word families, onset-rimes.



Word families:

If you look online for "word families" you'll find tons more. Here are some more good ones:

I think if you work on that, one family at a time, it might help retention a little bit since it's not in isolation.

Just wanna offer the opinion that, instead of closing/transferring the new thread "Deep South Kittens" to the "My Town" thread, that the Deep South thread should have been changed to "Kittens from the Deep South, and other Conservative/Gay-unfriendly Places" (or something like that). I believe there are some important issues to be discussed therein, beyond "I'm from such-and-such town."*



GG I don't live in a particularly gay-unfriendly place now, but I used to, and I would have wanted to discuss how to cope w/ that, w/ others in the, um, "same place" Out



*Unless there is already a "I live in a Gay-unfriendly Place" thread? I can't remember.

[urnofosiris]

I did not get the impression that thread was intended for anything other than finding out whether there are other kittens from the south. That´s a perfectly legitimate question, but where one is, more will follow. If we get a separate thread for every region in the US or the world, the Kitten would get cluttered pretty fast, and it would happen, just like once upon a time when we got a thread for almost every single town out there. That was funny, but not really practical which is why we started the my town thread. In any case, I´m not going to change someone else´s post that drastically, but if you wish to start a thread for the topic you just suggested then go ahead. I don´t think we have a topic like that. I suggest you keep the title as all inclusive as possible, there probably are kittens all around the world that live in gay unfriendly places who may want to talk about it.

Edited by: DrG at: 9/20/04 3:15 pm

[xita]

I am not sure why that rose as an idea for you as I don't think "the south" and gay un-friendly are synonymous. It might be an interesting topic if every corner of the world was included as I think you'll find gay-unfriendliness everywhere. After all, I live in California and we passed that whole gays can't get married proposition.

"Trust is a risk masquerading as a promise."

[Gatito Grande]

Eh: I think I assume certain degree of "every rule has an exception" sophistication here at the Kitten (much rather be gay in Atlanta or Naw'lins than, say, Turlock CA "where the turkeys come from"). But it could have been "Deep South and/or other gay-unfriendly places." It's just that the subject of the Deep South (and coping there, if you're LGBT) has come up before here on the K, and I thought the interest bespoke a need.



GG And who better to moderate such a thread than Ms. Moderator Fantastico Holley? Out



. . . but it was just a suggestion.

[Kerrison20]

This is gonna sound very dumb, but I'll ask anyway.



When the movie "Anywhere But Here" first aired on HBO they kept showing a trailer for it like every hour on the hour for weeks. There was a song that played during the trailer that I fell in love with. Only problem is, I can't remember the words or anything. It's not on the soundtrack or the theatrical trailer. Just the HBO commercial. Any ideas??

Hi fellow kittens,



i was just wondering whether anyone remembers where the travelling thread is on the board? I remember vaguely that there was one for people going off to places travelling...i'm going to east coast (from australia) in january and i wanna ask if any kittens in the area would know good gay/lesbian clubs/places to go.



Anyways i can't for the life of me find that thread so heres hoping someone can help me out



Thanks,

Jun.

[urnofosiris]

We have the relocation thread, but that is not exactly what you mean I guess. There is also the What's going on in your town! thread.

[skittles]

There's also the Looking for Gay Friends/Activities in... thread.

Does anyone ever chat? The few times I have logged in or clicked on chat I have not seen anyone else in there.

[BytrSuite]

Hey Sally, a few of us usually show up to the yahoo kitten chat around 8 pm PST. Almost every night.



The ezboard chat varies.

I was hoping maybe one of you could help me out here with this question. Can anyone tell me who Alicia Keys is dueting with in, "If I Ain't Got You?" I've tried looking this up online in several different places, but I can't find any information.



I would greatly appreciate your help.

Hi Jen,



Alicia Keys is dueting with Usher.



You can get the song on this album.

My question: Where can I get a "Got Tara?" shirt? I was told this was the place. Thankyou =)
