The Quest for the IMDB 250
August 18, 2006 10:30 amMy hot gf, Melissa, thought of a smashing idea: let’s watch all the movies on IMDB’s Top 250! Lately, we’ve seen a lot of movies of the caliber that would expect to fall out of someone’s ass. The list is always changing by a little bit here and there, so I’m not going to post it here. (Even if we watched two movies a day, every day, it would still takes us over 4 months)

I was truly impressed with the selection of films that you two have watched. THe content of those films is so superior to the junk most of the movie house are showing.( Oh yes,I have to include T.V., too. We watched the Helen Keller story the other nit about her life. Ann Bancroft was a young woman when it was made and the story still inspires.
On the merits of owning your own house you are right on. With the prices low, now could be the time to buy. I’m not too comfortable with the two of you footing the mortgage bill because one of you could cncievably leave for whatever reason and the remaing one couldn’t make the momth patment and the banks are hard-hearted when it comes to their money.I’d go slow on this idea. There are a lot of things to consider when you accept this responsibility.
I’ve got some news. If my heart Dr. gives the O.K. I’m probably going for a hip replacement. Sounds rather drastic but the osteoarthritis says “gotcha”. Nothing definite yet. Will keep you informed. So, keep up the good work We’re proud of you. Love, G
