Not as a StrangerNot as a Stranger (1955)

IMDB rating: 6.70

Plot: Lucas Marsh (Robert Mitchum), an intern bent upon becoming a first-class doctor, not merely a successful one. He courts and marries the warm-hearted Kristina (Olivia de Havilland), not out of love but because she is highly knowledgeable in the skills of the operating room and because she has frugally put aside her savings through the years. She will be, as he shrewdly knows, a supportive wife in every way. She helps make him the success he wants to be and cheerfully moves with him to the small town in which he starts his practice. But as much as he tries to be a good husband to the undemanding Kristina, Marsh easily falls into the arms of a local siren (Gloria Grahame) and the patience of the long-sorrowing Kristina wears thin. She reasons he no longer needs her and asks for a divorce. A calamity now brings Marsh to his senses. Dr. Runkleman (Charles Bickford), Marsh’s gruff and wise employer, is stricken with a heart attack and requires emergency surgery. Marsh is forced to operate.

Serious question for all the women…?
If an attractive stranger come up to you and said straight out that he wanted to sleep with you, would you find that offensive or would you admire his confidence?


i would be like whoa your crazy and walk away/lock the doors/roll up the window. but i would be flattered still
Allison M | Nov 22, 2009


I’d reject him but admire his confidence. It’d be a real self-esteem booster as well.
StajahRee | Nov 22, 2009


Offensive.
white_painted_lady | Nov 22, 2009

sarahc119 | Nov 22, 2009

Caligula – DivX Version (Normal Quality), DVD (Good Quality), PDA Version

CaligulaCaligula (1979)

IMDB rating: 4.60

Plot: The rise and fall of the notorious Roman Emperor Caligula, showing the violent methods that he employs to gain the throne, and the subsequent insanity of his reign – he gives his horse political office and humiliates and executes anyone who even slightly displeases him. He also sleeps with his sister, organises elaborate orgies and embarks on a fruitless invasion of England before meeting an appropriate end. There are various versions of the film, ranging from the heavily- truncated 90-minute version to the legendary 160-minute hardcore version which leaves nothing to the imagination (though the hardcore scenes were inserted later and do not involve the main cast members).

[ [ [ [ Red Eyes ] ] ] ] ]?
So I self-diagnosed myself with Conjunctival Hyperemia or known as red-eye, because my eye symptoms seems closest to its description. I’ve had this red-eye for as long as I can remember, since the beginning the high school. My blood vessels would enlarge and engorge with blood on the white parts of my eye mostly noticeable around the sides or the Conjunctiva, if I am correct. The blood vessels appear mostly on my right eye, but very little on my left eye (my left eye seems normal, my right gets very red). I’ve seen my optician a couple weeks ago, they recommended me to use eye-lubricants and in this case I purchased myself a bottle of Refresh artificial tears. I haven’t used it too many times, but the reading I’ve read suggests that I should keep using the tears several times a day for at least a week. Now, I’m not sure if it will permanently clear the blood vessels for good, but I am hopeful. I’ve read that I shouldn’t be having this red-eye for as long as I have had it, but I’ve experienced red-eye every-single day since the beginning of high school(or roughly around that time period). I was wondering, since I have had such good feedback from Yahoo Answers, if I should continue to use this eye lubricant? If so, will this work? Has anyone had this experience like me?

P.S. I am a soft contact lens user, I take care of them very well and use them up 12 hours, but on average 8 hours since I have glasses as well. Some days I would wear my contact lens, but the blood vessels would will appear – especially when I go out of the house (grocery shopping, school, outside in general…) I will contact my optician soon as well (as in this weekend). Not sure if it is allergies or not, I do react to pollen and dust, but my eyes don’t itch, but it could be allergies. Also, in the past I would use over-the-counter Visine to clear the redness, hoping that would to its thing, but instead I think it’s horrible and instead makes my eyes more red with my blood vessels more enlarged – but I stopped doing so a couple years ago after finally figuring it out. Evidently enough, the eye I used the Visine on the most appears to have the most enlarged blood vessels that are noticeable to this day. Horrible! Hence, I am a tad-bit hesitant about putting any solutions in my eye, even if it is eye lubricants. However, I feel that these eye lubricants will be doing more good to me than the over-the-counter stuff… from what I read. I tried to be as specific as possible, ask me if I need to clarify anything!
Thank you for reading! Hope you can help, thorough answers are much appreciated!


am sooo sorryy but ur story is sad mr.vampire

ok try this buy some green tea or herbal tea and when you get home boil some water, but first take out your contact lens ok. After the water is done put it in a cup and get two packs of green tea or herbal tea wet them and place them on your eyes, but close them first. or if that doesn’t work just try the water with a clean towel for your eyes, and if you wear makeup remove it first before you do this ok.

There could be a few reasons for your red-eyes and Visine was not a good idea. Visine constricts the blood vessels temporarily, and after it wears out, the redness will re-appear.
The redness you’re experiencing could be caused by Allergies, Dry-Eyes, Contact Lens Solution or the Contacts.
Did your optician inspect your lenses for protein build-up? Hold the lenses up to the light after they’ve been cleaned. Protein would look like tiny white specks on the lenses and can be removed by cleaning with enzymatic tablets.
If you kept the lenses on in the house, do your eyes get red? If they get red only after going outdoors, this could be allergy related. You can experiment with over-the-counter allergy tablets(Zyrtec, Claritin, etc.) and see if the redness is eliminated.
You can try changing your cleaning solutions to a different brand. If you’re using a solution that is a "No Rub" type, and you are not rubbing the lenses your lenses are not being cleaned properly. They require rubbing.
Artificial Tears or Lubricating Drops are very safe to use regularly, so if you think your redness is caused by Dry-Eyes, then try using the drops frequently and see if it improves.
Did your doctor ever suggest a different brand of contact lenses? If not, request a sample of disposables and see how those work for you.

Full Grown MenFull Grown Men (2006)

IMDB rating: 7.00

Plot: Alby Cutrera (Matt McGrath) yearns for a time when life was carefree and action figures were twelve inches tall. When his wife insults him for being more of a playmate than a father to his young son, Alby heads for safety and tracks down his boyhood pal Elias (Judah Friedlander) whose memory of their younger days is considerably less rosy. They set out on a road trip to Diggityland, their favorite place as kids, but simpler times turn complicated as the two friends confront the land mines of their past. Journeying through the Oz of Central Florida, they encounter a cast of wounded roadside romantics – a disgruntled ex-theme park employee (Alan Cumming), a horny bartending clown (Amy Sedaris), and a delusional mermaid (Deborah Harry) – each one shedding light on the perils of not letting go. Full Grown Men is the bittersweet tale of a man who learns the hard way that the best years of his life may still lie ahead of him.

can you revise my essay?
it’s not done obviously i just started but im having a lot of trouble with it. does this flow so far?

Everyone has dreams, but only some follow their dreams to the fullest extent. What could hold one back from accomplishing their dreams? Many reasons, such as fear of failure, self-doubt, cultural expectations, family issues, and restrictions from different time periods can be factors. Many tend to live their lives in a perpetual state of longing; for some, their hopes and dreams come to fruition. For others, their entire lives are spent with that wish only a distant hope, never out of mind but never a reality, until finally age cruelly snatches away their dreams. In the novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Zora Neale Hurston presents a story in which a proud African American woman named Janie sets herself up on a spiritual quest that allows her to chase her dreams throughout each of her relationship experiences. [THESIS] By the end of her story, Janie was able to accomplish her dreams by turning them into reality, even through all the complications her gender role in society had brought upon her.
