You're welcome. :) You know, it's funny, but as a kid, birthdays were always something to be excited about. Then, I went through a stage in my life where I was neither excited or disappointed/depressed about my birthday. Now, for the past five years or so, I actually find myself excited on that day and the reason is a bit odd.....it's like, I am excited about it, because it's my very own, special, personal day. eh? Never mind the fact that each birthday adds an ever-growing number of candles or that I'm reminded that I'm not as young as I once was....I just like feeling special for that one day and receiving phone calls where family/friends sing, 'Happy Birthday' to me or send me a card.....I'm like a kid on that day, again!

Gee, even reading that staggers me! I've been very lucky, received a ton of my DVDs as gifts, purchased with gift cards and made some decent purchases and such, but still, as many VHS as I had, I don't think I ever came close to 1500-1600 VHS! shock |

Mr Green Speaking of candles on a cake.....has anyone here gotten depressed over a milestone birthday? 30, 40 or do you see yourself depressed when a certain age is hit? I think Dad has always been bothered, when reaching milsetone birthdays....30, 40, 50 and 60. Mom was never bothered a bit, she said, until she hit 60 and that really hit her hard. Me, I haven't been depressed, so to speak, simply shocked that I'm two years into my 40s. I hope hitting 50 doesn't depress me, time will tell, I suppose. Hell, at this point, I'm just happy to have made it to another birthday! ;)

That's very nice of you to spread the love with sharing these films. Mr Green I also gave away a ton of my VHS, sold some on eBay and at last year's lawn sale. |

Speaking of eBay, I decided, because they are OOP, to try and buy extra copies of various Simitar "Godzilla" DVDs, namely: Godzilla Vs Mothra(1964), Monster Zero(1965), and Godzilla's Revenge(1969). I also would like to get an extra copy of the Simitar DVD Godzilla King Of The Monsters(1956). I found none at eBay, but I did find all of these titles at Amazon.com, used and/or new, many of them reasonably priced. I'm happy to give them to Clark(aka "SparkieGojira"). He's a nice guy, who I have spoken with by phone several times. He lives in Seattle, WA and works there as a security guard. He's a HUGE Dr. Who fan. nod |

I used to be a real eBay junkie! I bought a ton of stuff on there over a period of about 3 years, but in the last 5 years or so, I have done little in the way of purchases on eBay for myself, but have purchased several items as Christmas gifts for others. Another online friend asked me how I was doing so well with not bidding and I told her, the lack of finances might have something to do with it! ;)
You know, I used to see Dr Who on a PBS station, but I never really got into it, although I'd like to try. I simply don't know where to begin, as that series has been going strong for several years...even decades! I do own the two Dr Who films that Amicus put out in the 60s, with Peter Cushing as Dr Who, but I don't think either film is very popular with proper Dr Who fans. |

Mom and I were discussing birthdays, today and she feels the same way. It's great to make it to another birthday and she also feels a birthday is your very own special day and therefore, should be enjoyed. Mr Green |

You could start with the 1960's "Dr. Who" and Tom Baker-just a thought. :) |

I have a birthday coming up. I always buy myself a DVD on this day. I'll let you decide, from the list, what I should order: 1. The Host(2006)(aka Gwoemul, the Korean kaiju film)-DDDHouse.com orfrom various other sites offering it on R3 2. Godzilla Vs Megalon(1973)(R4)-Madman Entertainment 3. Jonny Quest(1964)-the original Hanna-Barbera classic/all episodes-DeepDiscountDVD Pick one from this list and post your choice. I will get that one, no questions asked.

That's true, Baker's Dr Who is considered one of the most popular, I believe. Are you a fan of the series, Lee? |

Tough one! I really want to see, The Host, but Jonny Quest is such a classic, I'd probably go with that set. Mr Green

No. I do, however, respect the "Dr. Who" character, the various "Who" series, and his many television variations. It is obviously a very significant, and popular, sci-fi character and franchise. thumbs up |

Done. I'll order "Jonny Quest" from DeepDiscountDVD on my birthday. If, for some reason, it's out of stock I will order The Host(2006). faster <!--emo&shifty eyes--> <!--endemo-->

It certainly has endured. Last night, a local PBS station was showing the first episode of the newest series of Dr Who. I fell asleep before that came on. :( |

Well, if you have to go with, The Host, from what I;ve heard about the film, it certainly will be a nice consolation prize. Mr Green |

In the few times I have tried to watch "Dr. Who" on television, the end result has always been the same: slumber. |

I have watched a couple of episodes of the new "Dr. Who" series on the Sci-Fi Channel. It keeps me interest a little better, I think, because of the special effects. |

I believe the local PBS station is going to be airing the new Dr Who series, I did miss the first airing, but this is their Pledge Drive time, so I bet they'll show that again, once the drive is over. |

I have watched many of these PBS "drives"-one I saw more recently had "Celtic Woman" performing-have you ever heard the music of this Irish group of singers and musicians? I was very impressed-they're music is, IMO, terrific, and I'm not just saying that because I'm half-Irish. ![]() Here's "Celtic Woman's" official website: Celtic Woman.com |
