Dustin Hoffman directed the movie and was up for an Oscar, but I don't think he won. PS I had no idea who the host was! This shows you how not "hip" I am.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-15167981513838353782013-02-26T09:31:27.358-05:002013-02-26T09:31:27.358-05:00Thought so.

It must weigh a few hundred pounds. <br /><br />And I didn't watch the Oscars. It's not the sort of thing that interests me. I'm glad your fire safety should be assured for the foreseeable future though.Rusty Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887821877521181811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-55240183461651704512013-02-26T09:08:04.584-05:002013-02-26T09:08:04.584-05:00Hi Clarissa, welcome.

Seen a fair bit of Ontario, but these days we don't move too far from home.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-38273528618244793292013-02-26T08:59:10.215-05:002013-02-26T08:59:10.215-05:00SK is cold!

That icicle (though I agree, it doesn't look like an icicle) is huge. <br /><br />I didn't watch the Oscars either. Rarely have I seen the movies they're talking about.

Everyone wants their moment of fame I guess.<br /><br />I used to watch lots of American animal rescue programmes. The rescue guys do a brilliant job but I get soooo angry when they stand there holding an injured animal whilst they tell the cameraman just how sick the animal is and how it must be rushed immediately to the centre for vet treatment ...... 10 mins later they're still talking to the camera :-) <br /><br />Sorry, getting off track a bit but its what I mean about talking up a storm instead of sorting out the problem!Sue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.com
