Lights, camera, no action

Well it is time to try to help my youngest daughter get her things packed up for the move she will be making. The major issue right now is that her kids (my grandchildren) are terrible when it comes to watching their DVD's they will watch a DVD but the don't put it back into the case it belongs in. So we have a couple of problems.
1. We have cases with no DVD in them
2. We have other DVD's and we have no case for them.
I swear I have no idea what these kids do when the finish watching a movie. I mean how hard is it to watch a movie and then take it out of the DVD player and then put it in the proper case and put the case back where it belongs. I could maybe understand if my grandchildren were very young. But they are 8 and 9 years old. They are old enough to understand the cost of things and to properly take care of them. But they don't seem to do it. I guess Joy is going to have some new rules when they get moved. The kids will almost have to check out a DVD and not be allowed another one until the first one has been returned. Well, I wish her the best of luck.

Gimme Gimme Gimme

Well I just got a free movie today. Jill ordered some movies and before she got them in the mail she wound up buying one of them at the local video store. So when her movies came today I got her duplicate movie. I know that Jill is planning on moving to Holland in the near future. So I also know I will absolutely want to go visit her some time. That means I should learn some Dutch. Well this movie she gave me is called Black Book and is all in Dutch. But, the good news is it has sub titles in English. So maybe I can pick up a few Dutch words from the movie but I am not really sure if I should learn a new language from a movie that says it is "Provocative and Potently Erotic" I might get myself in trouble that way. Ya never know thought it might be fun to get into a little trouble. Nah... I am just too old for trouble. NOT!!!!!

Kids Kids Kids

The Grandchildren have been watching their DVD's they got for Christmas. If they are not watching movies they have been playing their DS game systems that they got for Christmas also. I just had to go in and rescue my grandson "Z" he was having one of his temper fits of sorts. He just lays and seems to make what we call a dead cow noise. I am here to tell you that it drives us all crazy. I don't know why he does it but it just about drives me right up a wall. Now he is not happy because his brother is playing the DS game that he wants to play and his sister is playing the other game and the only new game left is Hannah Montana and that game "is for girls".

Then there is the 16 month old that lives in the house. I am telling you that her mother is a card carrying idiot. Just look up the words idiot, crazy, stupid in the dictionary and I guarantee you her picture will be there every time. She got home from work last night about 11:30 - 12:00 and then she goes into her room where her kids are also sleeping and turns the light on and turns the TV on and then will leave the TV on until probably 3 or 4 AM in the morning while she sleeps and the baby will lay there in her crib and watch the TV most of the night. Then she is so sleepy and crabby all day long. We have tried to tell her mother that this is what happens but she only gets a crappy attitude and won't listen to us.

My Collection

I can't believe it but I just got some more DVD's last night. I can remember just a few months ago I didn't own even 1 DVD. But I counted them last night and I now have 45 of them. The girls have bought me some of them and I have bought some of them for myself. I always had the idea that it was kind of dumb to buy DVD's. I mean I always waited for the movies to come on TV and I would just watch them there. Plus I had always thought of having to pay over $20.00 per DVD and I never thought that was a smart thing to do. But since I have realized that I can get them at Wall-Mart pretty reasonable and I can buy the previously rented DVD's at Blockbusters for like 4 for $20.00 it seems more practicable for me to start my collection. So now the girls have turned me into a DVD junkie. But right now I have to wait until after Christmas to purchase anymore. I have two more presents to purchase. I need to get something else for my Granddaughter and something for the 3 year olds mother. I was thinking of a chair and whip but that might turn into child abuse so I crossed that off my list. I thought about getting her some candles. But then she falls asleep with him still awake and he just might burn the house down and since my room is right above their room. I think not!! Now I am back to square one with her racking my brain as to what to get her. Guess I will think of something soon. I can't get anything right this minute anyway. Cause I am broke after shopping yesterday.
