Jeopardy

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 01:08:00 +0000

I need money and I seem to have no luck with the lottery. So I have decided I am going to get on Jeopardy.

It is my favorite game show, and when I get one question right I am BRILLIANT!!! I yell out to anyone who is close..."Did you hear that? I got that question right!! Come revel with me in my brilliance!" Only once did the associate at Walmart ask me to leave electronics, but come on....NOBODY there was getting any right!

I digress...I decided that getting one (or the odd 2) questions would not be enough to get me money, so I will be studying to get on the show. I will start by reading any trivia book I can get my hands on... I will share some of what I learn, but not all...just in case you too decide to take on this endeavor and I end up next to you on the show.

Wish me luck...and stay tuned.

My Observations

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 01:23:00 +0000

After watching America's Got Talent and my hero, Stevie Nicks, I have decided that my generation (40 to 60 yrs old now)has decided that we will never grow old.

You know when 63yr olds (Stevie Nicks, Ozzy, Steven Tyler...) are still touring with the band, that's just proof that we will not go softly into the night. Or as Neil Young put it... "its better to burn out than to fade away"

Thrift Store Find/Game Fail

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 23:09:00 +0000

Is the word "anal"????

Found this at a thrift store.

Really Parker Brothers? You couldn't

think of a better name for the game?

Cryer's Cross

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 17:20:00 +0000

I love to go to the Young Adult section for great finds. It seems like sometimes the adult books are written for the benefit of the author. The young adult authors know that their audience has a shorter attention span so they better have a great hook and get them involved quickly.

Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann is a story centered around Kendall, a senior who has OCD. The town of Cryer's Cross, Montana is a mere 212 residents strong, and as the books opens, one of them is missing. A new family moves into town and the oldest boy falls under suspicion, but nothing comes of it and soon the search for the missing freshman girl ends and a new school year begins.

Since it is a small town, the high school students are in one room for the day. Kendall's OCD requires her to be the first in the room to place the desks, markers, trash can and curtains properly. Soon after school starts, Nico, Kendall's best friend and boyfriend (though she doesn't really feel as strongly for him as he does her) starts to act strangely. When Nico disappears the town again forms search parties without avail. The sheriff requires all children under 18 pair up and never travel alone. Kendall gets paired with the new boy, Jacian.

The first 190 pages of this 232 pages of this book deal with Kendall's character development and how she's torn between her feelings for the new guy and her problem with not feeling loyal to Nico.
Honestly at chapter 23 it felt like the author thought, "Crap, I forgot about the missing kids, I better come up with something quick". From here, the book just got weird. When you look at the description of the book, the ending really came out of nowhere.
The book jacket's description ends with this:

Something's not right in Cryer's Corner - and Kendall's about to find out how far the townspeople will go to keep their secrets buried.

I was really disappointed with this book...the problem I had was it was just false advertisement. They should have described the book like this:

Kendall is a high schooler in a small town. She has OCD that seems to rule her life and now she seem to have gotten herself caught in a love triangle between her childhood sweetheart and the new bad boy in town. And oh, by the way, two kids are missing, one of them is her current boyfriend.

Very rarely do I finish a book and say to myself, "well that was a waste of time" I'm afraid that's exactly what I said when I finished this one.

I give this 0 out of 5 stars

Netflix

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 00:24:00 +0000

If you love movies, you probably have a Netflix account. We are big movie fans at our house, but we have been having a problem for about a year now.

Not with Netflix, but with the United States Postal Service. "Nooo way" you say! But yyyeeeesssss. "Not our postal service" you protest....oohhh yes, our government employed postal service, I reply.

We live in a trailer park and have a LOCKED bank of mailboxes much like the ones pictured here:

When we mail our newer Netflix movies it always takes longer than the older releases. I have been suspicious of our mail person...thinking she's probably watching them and sending them back later. But how do you prove that? Recently we received a badly mangled Netflix envelope in a baggy, with the standard "we are sorry about this, but shit happens" (I paraphrased). TWICE this has happened. What we received Saturday, though, pushed me over the edge.

As you can see, The one on the left is just the top part that has your personal address on it, the part you tear off and throw away.

Here, again, on the top, is what we received. ONLY the top paper. Where's the movie you ask...I have no idea. With the exception of the the top corner looking like it was cut off with scissors, it looks like someone tore it off and took the rest. "I would go straight to the post office and complain" you say??? My hubby did. The postmaster at Zeeland, MI informed him that it was a machine that the mail goes through that must have done this. My hubby told him that we seem to have problems with other Netflix movies getting back. Maybe someone else is messing with our mail. As I mentioned before...we have LOCKED mail boxes. The postmaster at Zeeland, MI suggested that we should take the time to get to know our mail person.

WTF??? Its our fault the mail isn't being properly handled because we didn't get to know who delivers our mail???? I work and my husband is sleeping when the mail is delivered (he works 3rds). So I got online and sent a complain to the governmental institution, the United States Postal Service...here's what I wrote:

We have had a problem with our mail service concerning Netflix movies for over a year. Recently we received a Netflix paper, neatly torn from the movie, without the movie. When we send newer movies back to Netflix from this location, they suspiciously take much longer than older movies. We talked to Postmaster (name omitted) and he recommended that we should get to know our mail person better. Are we getting punished because we happen to be working at the time our mail is delivered and have been unable to get to know our mail person? If we leave them a cash gift will that take the place of our inability to be there? What amount would be good, as we do not wish to offend and worsen our situation.

Please advise

I'm pissed (and passive-aggressive with a sarcastic nature)

Degrees of Bacon

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 23:43:00 +0000

So my oldest asks me...
Do you think when an actor works with Kevin Bacon they
think to themselves:

"I've hit the jackpot!
I am now
one degree
from Bacon"

The Hangover 2

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 01:32:00 +0000

I recently watched The Hangover II. The first one was hilarious (could have done with out the pictures), this one wasn't as good.

Let me just say, I saw more penises in this movie then I have ever seen in my whole life and I'm 45, been married twice and have 3 kids.

Just saying.

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Sun, 29 May 2011 21:38:00 +0000

Back in 2008 I listened to Water for Elephants and thought it was a great story.
I always get excited when they make a movie from one of the books I've read. I'm anxious to see who they pick to play each part and I must say I did not expect these two actors to be the choices. When I listened to the book I expected them to be closer in age, and I'm sorry, I am NOT a big Robert Pattinson fan. I didn't get into the Twilight series (even thought that author wrote one of my favorite books).

I do love Reece Witherspoon. She was also in Just Like Heaven which was based on another book I read, "If Only It Were True" by Marc Levy. The book was cute but I haven't seen the movie to compare yet. Honestly I read the book around 2001 so I couldn't compare the two unless I re-read it.

Have you been to see the Water For Elephants? Did you like it? Are you one of the few who have read it and can compare them? I would love to hear from you.

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Fri, 27 May 2011 00:52:00 +0000

Hi all!!

I'm back. I started a new job about 2 1/2 years ago and when I started getting full time hours my reading and blogging dropped off. I miss both so I have decided to keep my sanity I must make sure I have time to do both.

So here I am.

It was a rough year. I lost my mom quite suddenly and unexpectedly. My family, that I thought was the greatest ever, turned out to be users and underhanded. My sister has been my biggest support (aside from my kids and hubby)

We moved from North Carolina to Michigan 14 years ago so I could be closer to my family and mom, leaving my dad and sister behind. My hubby and kids are not happy here, so we have decided to move back to NC.

So here we are...almost June, and trying to sell our place, get jobs, and move back down south by early August at the latest.
Stressed? A little. I feel this is what God wants for us, so I gotta have faith that things will fall into place. My hubby wants to move so bad he's promised to get me a color nook if we move this summer!

On a side note...My sister says karma will get our aunt and brother for the crap they've done. I have NEVER witnessed justice coming around and kicking the rightful person right in the bahookie....have any of you? Share your story, give me hope, cause I am sick and tired of people getting away with so much crap.

Ahh summer..who has time to read???

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 01:51:00 +0000

UUggg....I have been so lazy in the reading department. I have taken to mobile home improvements and knitting while enjoying summer shows like America's Got Talent (yeah for Howie, I was so sick of the Hoff!) and Last Comic Standing. I have been trying to get through some reading, well one book really...not going so well. I receive books to review from time to time and some times it is a chore to get through them. I do have 2 that I received the other week I am anxious to get to, but I feel like I should read them in order, so I am trudging through.

I have been listening to Wild Ride by Jennifer Cruise and Bob Mayer. This is a story about a small town girl Mary Alice Brannigan, Mab to her friends, who leaves town only to herself back at the local amusement park renovating the rides and attractions. Being back brings back memories of standing out in high school, being different, and having a crazy mother who believe the very park she is working is a haven for demons. Mab resented her mother and always dismissed her crazy accusations, but when she is run over by the metal clown she has been lovingly renovating, she knows something is very different in the park. It just so happens that her mother was right in a way, there are demons in the park, being held prisoners. Since these five demons are the worlds worse, there is a group of people who are guardians and are sworn to make sure the Untouchables never escape. One by one, they do escape and somehow, Mab finds herself having to join the Guardia, protect mankind, and admit her mom wasn't as batty as she thought.

This is a fun story that has had a few surprise twists and some not so surprising turns. It a story about demons and powers, so don't look to deeply into it, but if you are looking for a light entertaining read, this one is perfect. It would be a great book to take to the beach and enjoy the surf and sun.

I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars.

Waiting for Jack

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Wed, 26 May 2010 01:33:00 +0000

I have recently read Waiting for Jack by Kristen Moeller. This is a book about how some of us tend to wait for the one thing that will finally make us happy, whether that thing is finishing school, getting married, losing weight, making money....you understand.

I was really excited to get this book, because I am one of those people who are waiting to be fulfilled. Let me tell you I am 44 and still waiting.

This book is broken down into 3 sections, body, mind and spirit. In the first sections the author tells us how she got to the point where she realized that she has been waiting her whole life for the "one thing" that will complete her. She also addresses how we look for things outside of ourselves to make us happy. The second section she talks about how we wait for a purpose, love, the right place among other things and in the last sections she looks at how we box ourselves in, our preconceived notions and what we thing life is.

Each section ends with a list of questions to help us reflect on out thoughts and things to practice. It was an easy read and her stories and the stories from others were helpful and interesting. I read through this book quickly so I could give a review, however this is a book in which you would want to take your time and really take in each chapter. When I finished the book I thought well there wasn't really a moment I thought, "So that's what I need to do." I did see my thoughts and mannerisms in there, but nothing that showed me how to fix it. I thought well that stinks, I thought I would be fixed. It wasn't until a couple of days later when I was reflecting on what I want to include in my review when I realized that is not how this book works. I was waiting for a book that would fix me! (shaking my head) I need to take my time and absorb each chapter, reflect in the ideas and take each day at a time. I got it...and I am going to do just that, reread this book slowly, applying the ideas, daily.

This book will not fix you. You have to stop waiting for perfection. This book WILL take you on a journey, if you take the time and are serious about it, to help you start living each day and stop waiting.

I give this book a 5 out of 5.

Best Quotable...Young Frankenstein

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Tue, 18 May 2010 23:35:00 +0000

Well, I'm back. Things have finally settled down in tourist-land and I'm not working such long hours. I have 6 books lined up for review, but this weekend, instead of reading I watched a movie with my mom.

"Young Frankenstein" is a classic Mel Brooks movie (a tamer one than say "Blazing Saddles"!) that has some great quotable lines I found myself repeating with the movie. I thought this would be a great entry for a best quotable movie...so here they are...

Dr Frankenstein: "What knockers!"

Inga: (in german accent) "Why, sank you doctor"

Dr Frankenstein: (when stuck between a bookshelf and the wall (in a high pitched voice)) "Listen to me very carefully, do not put the candle back!"

Inga: (from behind the bookshelf) "PUT ZE CANDLE BACK!

When asked who's brain he got Igor responds:

"Abby someone"

Dr Frankenstein: "Abby who?"

Igor: "Abby Normal"

Dr Frankenstein sulking at the dinner table...

Inga: "You haven't touched your food"

Dr Frankenstein pats his food with his hands..."There are you happy?"

Inga (from back of a hay wagon): "Would you like a roll in ze hay?"

(rolling back and forth): "Roll, roll, roll in ze hay!)

This is such a great movie. If you have not seen this movie, you must rent it. I also discovered that Aerosmith wrote their song "Walk This Way" after watching this movie. There is a scene where Igor meets Dr. Frankenstein at the train station and walks down 3 steps hunched over stating, "Walk this way" Igor the hands the cane to Dr. Frankenstein and he hunches over and uses the cane down the 3 steps like Igor. Aerosmith thought it was hilarious and it inspired a classic song!

Is He Lying To You

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Tue, 04 May 2010 23:18:00 +0000

Is He Lying to You? is written by Dan Crum, who is an ex-CIA polygraph examiner. Dan Crum walks you through how to tell if a guy is lying to you by showing you how to ask questions, what questions to ask, when to ask and what to look for. He differentiates between the types of lies men tell and why they might be telling them. He tells you the four reasons why men deceive and whether they are harmful or not.

Dan explains that a lot of times we go into situations with certain biases and that we need to learn to set those aside. He shows you how watch a guy to determine what his "normal" behavior is before you ask questions to see if he is truthful.

Some of the points in this book I knew intuitively, such as when a guy answers a question with a question or tries to make you feel guilty for asking the question, he may be deceiving. I think there are times we may know that people are not being truthful, but we don't always trust our gut, this book shows you when to trust those

instincts.

I thought there was some great information in here, however I'm not sure it was very ground breaking. If you are a woman in the dating scene, you may want to read this book. He does recommend you journal about the guys, and for me this would never work....I don't journal, I've always wanted to, but I have a really short attention span and basically I can't write as fast as I think and by the time I slow down enough to write my thoughts, I'm bored. But I digress. If you are meticulous, this book my be an asset.

As I finished chapter one I saw "FREE BONUS: Go to ......to get a free download..." and "EXCITING BONUS: Go to ....get free excerpt from my new book..." At first I thought, "how nice, when you get this book you get a free scorecard and tools to help you and a look into another book," however when I got to chapters 9 and 10 and he has the EXCITING BONUS at the end of every chapter it felt a little desperate and, I don't know, like what we were getting out of the book wasn't as important as us needing to buy his next book.

I give this book a 3 1/2 out of 5. Probably would have been a 4 if he wasn't trying so hard to sell us his next book.

Tulip Time

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Mon, 03 May 2010 22:40:00 +0000

I live near Holland and work in the tourist industry. This week is
Tulip Time which means tourists from all over come to see our tulips. This means we work from 8:30 to sometimes 7:30 doing demonstrations and trying to sell our wares. This means I wouldn't have time to read, let alone blog...but as you can see I am blogging. It hasn't started out to busy...seems like the tourist business is feeling the economic crunch.

Too much time saturday

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 02:52:00 +0000

Found this website and thought the pictures were funny, but seriously....if you are posing toys and taking pics, maybe you have a little too much time on your hands!
Carry on!

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 00:24:00 +0000

Be the Noodle by Lois Kelly is a book written per the wishes of a dying mother. It is 50 ways to help you, as the title says, be a compassionate, courageous, crazy-good caregiver.

I have to say the only reason why I decided to review this book was for a friend who is studying to be a social worker and has no free time to read. I agreed to read the book and let her know if it would be a great resource for her. I am blessed for doing so.

I have had a mother go through a bout of cancer and she has survived, so I thought I was far from needing a book like this. Unfortunately, people sometimes wait to late, or avoid things that are sad, uncomfortable or make us face mortality. Let me tell you, even though this book deals with death, it is actually a very empowering book. It brings to light situations we may all face when dealing with a loved one who is dying. Sometimes, when we have a glimpse of things that may occur, it doesn't seem as scary. It can give us the tools, ahead of time, that we will need to make things easier. This book is probably the most important tool you will need.

The book is broken down into 3 sections. 1) Wham! Bam! Welcome to the caregiver club, ma'am...here we find help with managing visits, just being there and she's got the power. 2) Conflict and crisis: when the wild, wicked and weird start hitting the fan...here is a look into foul moods, hesitating on hosp-ice, and sharing everything with others. 3) Being laid off: saying good-bye to the hardest job you never wanted...addresses dew vs. fog, sadness vs. grief and writing a killer eulogy.

From being tossed into and coming out the other end, this book holds your hand through it all. I cannot tell you how much comfort I felt in reading this book. I know that if and when I'm in this situation, I will not be alone even if I am on my own.

I give this book a 5 out of 5. You will want this resource on you shelf, you will gain so much.

Melissa and Tammy and Popular

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 01:43:00 +0000

Many of the best and most ground breaking shows get canceled way before their prime....but let me back up a minute.
Today on CNN.com I saw that Melissa Etheridge and her partner Tammy have split after 9 years. This got me thinking about one of my most favorite tv shows "Popular". This was a show about a group of high school students, the populars and the ones on the other side. This show was funny and well written. Tammy played Nicole the mean conniving cheerleader who took her popularity seriously and woe to the person who gets in her way. This show featured a lot of great actors such as Leslie Bibb (Iron Man 1&2, See Spot Run), Sara Rue (Less Than Perfect), Carly Pope (24).
Tammy's character was mean and her lines were biting but hilarious....for example:

"Sure, I'll put Carmen on the squad. When hell freezes over and/or Melissa Joan Hart gets nominated for an Oscar."

"Sugar D., stop staring at Mary Cherry like she's a Hot Pocket."

"Maybe 10 years of vomiting has ruptured your ear drums."

If you have NetFlix, you must rent this show and watch. It was truly awesome.

In a pinch

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 23:20:00 +0000

If you ever need to pluck a stray hair that might be growing from your chin and it might really be bothering you because since you are 44 stray hairs seem to be growing out of places that should not grow hair on women and its always darker while the hair on you head and eyebrows seems to only grow grey and you are at work without tweezers...needle nose pliers will work.

Just a guess.

Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 00:06:00 +0000

I recently read Danny The Dragon Meets Jimmy by Tina Turbin and illustrated by Aija Jasuna.

I thought the illustrations were wonderful, colorful and really drew you into the story. The story however fell short for me.

Jimmy is at the beach with his mom, dad and sister, where he finds a special shell that talks. When he shows the shell to his family, however, the shell remains quiet.

We find out that there is a dinosaur, Danny, and his navigator, Skipper, in the shell. The family is surprised and Jimmy asks how they got in the shell, how they get out, and where are they from. Jimmy asks if Danny and Skipper can stay and his parents agree that it is a good idea.

I like how Jimmy is a polite and helpful child. I like that the story features a family that hangs out together and sits down to eat together. It was sweet and imaginative, but it didn't flow. At dinner, when they discovered Danny was in the shell there were a lot of questions, but the next thing we know they go outside to play with friends and the questions go unanswered. At the end of the book, Jimmy asks the questions again, and Danny says he will answer them some other time, but now its time for bed. I can't imagine any child asking a question and letting it go without an answer...heck my 23 year old wont leave me alone until I answer her, I know a young'un lives to ask "why" and would not let it go, sometimes even when they do get an answer they still don't let it go!!

I also received a DVD of the story. This DVD was kind of like a read along, with Carol Downing (Associate Director and Classroom Teacher of the Blossom Montessori School of the Deaf) signing beside the pages. The dvd had some staggering statistics like 93% of all deaf children are born to families with hearing parents and only 10% of them learn to communicate effectively with them. I like that the author used her book to bring this issue to the forefront and gave an alternative to deaf children to enjoy the book.

I give this a 4 out of 5 if only for the great illustration and positive examples.

Too much time Sat...

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 01:41:00 +0000

Been off on a little vacation so I haven't gotten to post this past week. But for your enjoyment, I have this weeks "Too Much Time on Their Hands" candidate. Found on Woman's Day website, this entry showed how a sharpie in the right hand (a hand with a lot of time) can transform anything...even an extremely expensive Lamborghini.

Good Medicine

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 22:59:00 +0000

I recently finished Good Medicine by Carol Roberts, MD. I must confess this was a tough read for me.

I read the back cover of this book and I was really excited. Here it is...

"Attain a Healthier You-Naturally-With this Breakthrough and Doctor-Proven Guide Filled with the latest thinking on traditional, holistic and alternative care, Good Medicine: A Return to Common Sense represents a sea change in approaching illness and attaining optimal health. This authoritative and easy-to-understand book from renowned Dr. Carol L. Roberts offers a new perspective on how human beings are put together, integrating the physical body and the spirit within. Comprehensive chapters on nutrition, digestion, toxins, heart health and even sex make it easy to customize your own wellness plan.

You'll learn:

-How to break the habit of foods that can literally kill you, and replace them with nutrient-rich superfoods (it's easier than you think)

-Why your digestive system is the gateway to optimal health, and how to give it a preventive tune-up

-The man-made toxins that are causing millions to suffer from diseases like asthma and liver damage, and how to get them out of your life

-Secrets to boosting energy and sexual performance that don't require an expensive prescription

-Straight talk on vitamins-what works, why, and how much you should (or shouldn't) be taking

-Why spirituality is as important as traditional medicine, and how to implement the right balance in your own wellness goals

If you're tired of being sick, tired of taking expensive drugs-or just plain tired-this book will show you how to shape your well being with proven, practical techniques."

I'm not sure how to break the bad foods. The chapter entitled, "What Should I Eat, Doctor?" we are told to eat whole foods, fresh and organic foods, drink lots of water and eat the right fats, among a few other things. This is really not anything new, or anything I don't already know, for that matter. She ends the chapter by saying, in bold print, this is an evolutions, not a revolution...but I found no clear idea of how to break the habit

The section on the digestive system was very informative and helpful in my understand of how it plays a part in keeping me healthy and there were suggestions of supplements that help along with the amounts needed. As far as the toxins and how to get them out of your life, again I think it fell short. She talked about fasting, colonics and chelation therapy. The last of these three is a "procedure invented to treat sailors who were poisoned by lead based paints used on battleships. The procedure involves the administration....of a synthetic amino acid with several chemical binding sites...This quality allows the chelating agent to pull the metals out of storage in the bones, liver, kidneys, of the brain..." (pg108-109) The author states, "A simple safe treatment like chelation therapy could make major heart surgery a thing of the past, reduce the incidence of stroke, and prevent and treat one of the underlying causes of cancer and dementia - metal toxicity"; however the American Heart Association found no scientific evidence to demonstrate any benefit from this form of therapy and states that the FDA has not approved it for the treatment of coronary artery disease.

The positives were that most chapters Dr. Roberts gives us some suggested readings and I did come away with some good suggestions for supplements. The negatives were she suggested some treatments and tests that would not be covered by insurance and could be expensive. An example if having your hair tested for chemicals in your body. Sounds like a great idea and I would love to do it, I just don't have $100 to $230 to do it.

I am all for alternative medicine, I do believe doctors treat symptoms and not problems, i do believe the medical profession has turned from treating patients to making money, I am just not sold on a lot of what was in this book. That said, I did glean some good things and this book did receive 5 stars for 13 out of the 15 reviews at Amazon.

I give this a 3 out of 5.

Latest Quotable.Movie

noreply@blogger.com (C) — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 02:42:00 +0000

Zombieland came out on video not too long ago and I have to say this is one of my favorite movies. I don't usually like movies that are gross, but when it is in a dark comedy (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) I don't mind it. Zombieland is in a league of it's own. Different than anything I have seen it is laugh out loud funny.

I watched it again last night with my hubby just before we watched ABDC (you better have voted!!) and I realized this is a great quotable movie!! Bonus.

So hear are the lines that are best to quote...

"Double tap"

"Let me begin my three part apology by saying I think you are a wonderful human being..."

"You wanna feel how hard I can punch?"

"You almost knocked over your alcohol with your knife."

I forgot one...

"This is so exciting, you are about to learn who you're gonna call...ghostbusters!"
