    Well, in spite of their shallowness, I love all of the girlfriends in Sex and the City - both the TV series and the movie.

    I also like Sally's girlfriend in When Harry Met Sally - the one played by Carrie Fisher, I think it was. I still laugh when I think of her telling her new husband, I will never want your wagon wheel coffee table.

    (Although I also have to admit that I rather liked that wagon wheel coffee table.)

    Oh, but wait...is this question about girlfriends of girlfriends or girlfriends of guys? I'll have to percolate some more and get back with you....

    I would definitely have to go with Gloria Cleary (played by Isla Fisher) who played Vince Vaughn's overwhelmingly affectious and neurotic girlfriend fling in Wedding Crashers.

    The violent mood swings were so believable to the point where I probably wouldn't date her in real life for fear that she would resort back to her role in that movie.

    My second pick (although she was not a girlfriend) would have to be Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy. A great sense of humor is an incredible quality for a girlfriend/wife to have.

    The girls in Now and Then. That movie brings back memories of long summer vacations hanging out with my girlfriends in small town central Illinois.

    Duh... it has to be Janice (played by Maggie Wheeler) from NBC's Friends who dated Chandler Bing during various seasons!

    Dana Delaney played a role that will forever remain in my heart and mind. She was the wife of Powers Booth and their family was moving west. He had to leave and serve with the Rangers, so she stepped up and took the lead. She was a powerful woman with a soft heart, and a leader's leader. Can't recall the title, but it was a powerful movie.

  1. Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.

  2. Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.

  3. I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.

  4. The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

  5. I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
