Ray! Talk about an inspirational movie. There were things about him that I never knew and to see his courage, not only in living his life as indepedently as he possibly could, but to allow all the ugliness And the triumphs to be exposed on the big screen...........left me awestruck.
and talking about acting, Jamie Foxx deserved every award he got for that performance.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

What IS S & M night?
Exit to Eden might be a good choice , or 9-1/2 weeks.

Shot & Movie Night

When the chills and fever started, I would, hopefully, be distracted by the movie. I had to stay in bed and not exert because any temperature change would trigger the chills. Even getting up to go to the bathroom would start them.
Thankfully, the side effects have been very minor for about the last 3 weeks. I'm still not ready to test the waters with normal activity levels (like a bike ride), but I have been able to delay the shot so what few side effects I do have can be slept through (with Tylenol PM) and I've even been able to knit all evening. This is a HUGE improvement. I think a few more weeks of this and I may even try being a bit more active. I did discover that the lingering effects on the following day can be chased away with a bike ride -- imagine that!

Exit to Eden is a comedy, a very funny one IIRC.
What else have folks seen lately? We watch a ton of DVD's and so many are just OK, a few are pretty good and the outstanding one is pretty rare...
Maria Full of Grace is probably the best thing we've seen lately. It's certainly not a light movie.
And Hector Elizando is great, anyone see "Tortilla Soup"?

Sadie Kate, no ideas about movies, I'm way behind, but just writing to say hang in there with the shots. No MS here but I have rheumatoid arthritis. New meds work great, but there was a time I got sick once a week with a dose of a drug that made me feel feverish and nauseated. It's tough to lose one day a week feeling like that.
I admire your spunk. Keep riding when you can. Hope you do OK this evening!

Pooh, I didn't get to watch any of the movies. We had a big rain storm last night and we always lose reception (don't even get me started on Dish Network) so we decided to save our money until after. I watched the ever funny Jon Stewart and then the ever gruesome CSI: Miami. I really appreciate all the tips, votes, etc. I'm going to check the listings for next week to see what they have.
Thanks so much! It went pretty well last night. No nausea this time, just a slight temp. shewhobikes, thanks for letting me know about you getting through the initial new meds period also. In my case, the med is worse than the symptoms, which are very brief and phantom-like. Does bicycling help you? I don't know much about rheumatoid arthritis. Originally Posted by shewhobikes

Thanks for the recommendation. Heck, it even has Dan Akroyd and Hector Elizondo. Sounds like a must try. Though it does sound like it has overtones of the other kind of S&M. Originally Posted by Irulan
