It's on Netflix?!?! I had this baby on DVD lol

The Martian is one of the few that does a great job as book and movie!

Having showed dogs for 25 years I just love this movie! it is truer than you know! Today (Feb 3) the Westminster Kennel Club show is going on in NYC. This is probably the most prestigious dog show in the United States. It concludes at Madison Square Garden tonight and is televised.

One of my favs, as well, as was Catherine O’Hara. As a funny side note, one of my best friends shows afghan hounds and showed her winning-est dog, Louis, last night at Westminster, in the Legends showcase. We were in NYC to see them over the weekend. And we went to Westminster the year Louis won Best of Group and competed in the final seven for BIS. It is such an iconic atmosphere, and lots of characters, just like the movie!

Due to Webfoots devastating house fire, has anyone found carving material similar to the white stuff that she sold? It was the best thing ever and I need all the help I can get when trying to carve. Thanks.

Throwing in a hundred more hugs. 💙💙💙

I love the dog show. I always try to watch it if I know it’s on. Or I’ll catch a re-run of it. I especially love the hunting and herding dogs.

There’s a guy in Scotland with a YouTube channel. I love watching his dogs herding the sheep. There’s one of a “puppy” just learning. Great dogs!

Fantastic movie! NMRK and I just had a memorial viewing of A Mighty Wind and we'll probably throw on Waiting for Guffman in the next day or two as schedule allows.

Catherine O'Hara was just freakin' iconic in about everything she was in! Queen of Improv!

I need to mail a 3x3” stamp for an event. Pink stuff is 1/4” thick, so I can’t safely mail it in an envelope at regular first-class rates. Do I need to spring for a padded envelope and expensive shipping? Thanks!

I almost always read the book before viewing any movie that spawns from it, at lest if it's a book I'm invested in reading. One of the exceptions was watching No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy. I enjoyed the movie and really wasn't that familiar with McCarthy, so I decided to backtrack and read the actual book... That's when I found out that he was such a spartan author that his novel was basically scene for scene with the movie... almost no interior thoughts just bam what was in the film is that which was in the novel. He and the Coen's are very well suited for each other!

when I mail stamps to folks - I generally use regular envelopes and then reinforce the heck out of them with clear packing tape so they don't burst through the seams. I end up paying a parcel rate due to the thickness... but the upside is they automatically get a tracking number :)

Thanks, mud! You’re actually the person I’ll be mailing the stamp to (though not for a couple of weeks)!

I do that also, but usually sandwich the stamp between two pieces of rigid (but not necessarily thick) cardboard ... like two pieces of a cereal box type cardboard.

Thanks, Basset Mom! I’ve done that in the past, in a padded envelope.

You could use a bubble mailer/padded envelope and use stamps instead of a shipping label. It usually takes 3 stamps or so, same price as it would be in a reinforced envelope but much more secure.

If you have any mounting type foam you can cut some the general shape of the stamp, put a piece on each side and then put packing tape around it. That always works. You can use a regular unpadded envelope for that. They always arrive unscathed.

I no longer trust the PO and put the stamp in a small box.

Is that the very thick stuff you're referring to?

yep, its also on peacock after the episode, but just's take a little time.

Those two crack me up. Im glad 'Bob the drag queen' and Rob get along after what happened.

Webfoot's OZ/PZ cut material is 1/4 inch thick.

I just mailed a first class letter (with logbook, etc.) this weekend that was right on the line of 1/4 inch. I brought it to the post office because I'm a worrier. The staffer passed it through a slot to confirm it could go as a first class letter, but it had a lot of room, so I'm confused now about the 1/4 inch rule. I wanted to ask, but it was crowded, and she was grouchy, so I'll ask another day. All this to say, can you bring it to the post office for feedback? Then you'll get it hand stamped too.

My vote is with the people who mail using a padded envelope. If you really want it to get there, I wouldn't mail it in any way that would get run full speed through a machine with regular envelopes. If it's not going to go through the mail system as a regular envelope, then I feel like the padded envelopes are least fussy. I use PayPal shipping to get a discounted USPS postage rate for the padded envelopes. Lately it's been so dicey with micro postals in regular business envelopes that I wouldn't want to risk it with a regular-sized stamp.

I would love to go, but alas, will be out of town.

This is exactly how we do it and haven't had any issues yet.

I save the cardboard from cereal boxes just for this purpose (we mail out a lot of stamps).

Fun fact: the material used for cereal boxes is called chipboard. It’s also used for bakery boxes, notebooks, bakery boxes and more.
