Okay. Got in an argument with my 5-year-old nephew yesterday. (I'm not proud of myself.)

The Turkey says that the lyrics go "We-eeee are never ever ever/ Getting back together."

While I maintain that it's "We (we!) are never ever ever/ Getting back together."

Which one of us is correct?

{And in response to those of you who are now thinking "How sad is this person, that she needs to be right over a 5-year-old?" I won't even mention it to him. I will just stop insisting my version of the words if I'm wrong.}

Okay -- I've asked this before and gotten no answers. We shall try again.

NBC mini-series, early-to-mid '90's.

Focused on a "backwoods" sort of family with 3 or 4 daughters. Took place late 1800's, early 1900's.

One scene I remember had one girl slipping off her shoes before running away from a man.

Another scene took place after one of the daughters had married - it was the christening of their son, and they named him Resolve.

This has been driving me nuts. Please help!

Saw it a while ago on Lifetime or We or a similar network.

I know the name's going to be something completely obvious, but I still can't seem to find it.

A workaholic woman inherits a house (from I think her aunt) and sets about refurbishing it (she's an interior designer). At some point early on, her husband and daughter are in a car crash and die. While she's restoring the aunt's house, she finds a music box, all wrapped up and hidden.

She plays it, and when she wakes up, her life is different. Her husband and daughter are still alive; life is nice, but it's not what she remembers.

Every time she plays the music box, something else changes. She's having an affair. Her husband dies, but not her daughter. All along, there are disappearing girls in the neighborhood - in one change, her daughter is kidnapped. She finds the guy, but he traps them - she's forced to play the box again.

Now she's in a world where everyone believes she abducted her daughter. She tries to explain, but they put her away.

Finally she destroys the box, thinking that a world where her daughter is safe, even if she's locked up, is good enough for her.

When she destroys the box, her life resets to before the originally accident in her original life. Instead of working late the night of the accident, she goes with her family. (Presumably to help them avoid the accident.)

Does anyone know this movie? It's been bugging me.

I'm bored. And curious to see how many know the answer.

Actually, this one works for both religion and politics - I always find myself thinking this in November....

If my political or religious view is counter to yours, and you clearly express to me that you think my view is stupid, aren't you then implying that I'm stupid? And if I'm stupid, why do you want me in your political party or religion?

I understand that in the case of religion, often conversion attempts are prompted by a genuine concern for the hereafter welfare of the individual (obviously atheists don't try and convert this way... :-D), but forcing your views down the throat of another NEVER works.

Shouldn't our energy focus more on knowing why we support a particular candidate (deeper than "she's a woman" or "he's a [insert appropriate political party]) and actually LIVING your faith (if you have one, that is) so that when someone is searching, they can look at your life and see what you believe and then ask about it.

Discuss.

...and the fact that it wasn't the person you were expecting threw you off for the whole call?

I hate it when that happens.

Is it weird to call them back later and explain why you were so off, or is it better to just let it go?

I remember watching this random movie back in the day (oh, about 8 years or so ago) on PBS, and I can't seem to remember enough specifics about it to look it up properly.

It was set in the early 20th century, I believe, and it made fun of all those upper-class British dramas.

There was a guardian-type older lady (I want to say an aunt) and a brother and sister. The brother's name was Edward.

The brother had a best friend named Cedric. (Needless to say, when I try to look up "Edward and Cedric", I find countless discussions of Robert Pattinson, but nothing on this movie....)

Anyways.

The sister gets saved from drowning by a swarthy local lower-class boy, whom they reward by taking him on as a butler/valet/footman of some sort.

The family goes on a lengthy trip that includes Italy and India, and they take their lawn with them. Every time they stop for tea, the butler/valet/footman guy has to take out these squares of sod and lay out their lawn for them to have tea on.

Everything else I remember is just little snippets - CEdric gets mistaken for Gandhi in India, the sister ends up pregnant, etc.

Any ideas?

Over the weekend, I was gang-pressed into helping my brother-in-law assemble a gazebo.

Foolishly, I neglected to apply sunscreen. Now I am a crispy critter (indubitably!)

Is there anything I can do to alleviate the pain from my bright red shoulders?

Call me behind the times, berate me as not being up-to-date, but what is the point of being a Somali pirate? Just what is it they hope to gain?

I'm not trying to be obscure and spark conversation -- I really just want to know what they're hoping to get out of it.

Say a Somali pirate comes to Career Day and tries to tell me what's so great about being a pirate and why I should be one. What would he say?

Glory? Girls? What?

Do they not know that eventually they'll run out of supplies or hostages? Ultimately they can only surrender or die, so what's their motivation?

So the rest of us who couldn't care less about Twilight can read questions without having to skip every other one!

They're talking about a past Christmas -- it doesn't actually happen in the action.
