    Ok guys...And gals...Best girlie movie

    OK, so I'm a chick, and I haven't seen half of the movies that have been mentioned so far. I hated Sweet Home Alabama. Saw it on TV at my in-laws and ended up getting nasty looks from my MIL because every time something cute happened, she and my husband "awwed" and I made some snarky comment and...

    Unforgetable one liners in movies

    We're on a mission from God. (Blues Brothers. Not the best line from the move, but it qualifies as a one-liner. My other favorites are longer).

    How did you get your username?

    Thought of a name. Typed it in. Hit "OK." :jimlad: How did I choose what to use? I joined CF on the spur of the moment before Christmas because I had a question about an ISU-related gift for my mom. She's on here, so I didn't want to pick something that had part of my real name/initials or...

    Help-Xbox 360.

    My husband's had the same problem about a month ago, along with one red light in the "ring" on the front of the console. It was, of course, a month out of warranty so we had to send it in. Cost about $100 to repair and took about 2 weeks to get it back. It's worked fine since we got it back, and...

    X-Box games for girls

    My husband would be willing to share the X-Box if we had a game I liked and could play. I'm not interested in/coordinated enough to play all the typical stuff we have (NCAA, Madden, COD, etc.). Any suggestions for fun girly games? As you can tell, I'm definitely not a gamer, so I'd prefer...

    Best tailgating cocktails

    Separate drink. If it had malibu and blue powerade we'd have to call it a "25" instead of a "24."

    24!

    Anyone notice how the head FBI guy's phone ring last night sounded "almost" like the old CTU ring?

    HELP!! Choosing a Major

    I'm the daughter of whom trigger1 speaks, and I can vouch for the value of an individual visit. Sit in on a class if you can. Honors was worth it for me because I got to register early and take classes that I wanted instead of what was "required" in my major. Ag honors seemed to be a bit more...

    Happy Holidays CF'ers!

    Thanks for sharing. Brings back memories of my time on campus... We live in KS but are really looking forward to being home in Iowa for Christmas.

    Best White elephant gift ideas?

    Last year's most popular gift at our office party was a Hillary Clinton nutcracker. It made a reappearance this year but wasn't nearly as popular since the election is over. Sometimes getting is better than giving. This year I got a horribly tacky snowman wreath that I will, in turn, regift to...

    Favorite Professor

    I'd nominate Barbara Mack as one of my favorite people...let alone professors.

    Favorite Professor

    Jeff Iles and Gail Nonnecke in horticulture were great, and awesome leaders for study abroad trips. Also, I never had him for class, but Lee Burras in agronomy was nice. One day my then boyfriend (now husband) missed a quiz in Burras's class because he was helping me get my car to the repair...

    Dead Week?

    When I was there, dead week didn't have much to do with classes, but "quiet hours" were in force in the dorms and student orgs. weren't supposed to meet.

    Hard-to-find ISU gifts

    A guy who sits in our section at football games has a red radio headset with ISU logos. Would like to purchase one for a Christmas gift but haven't had any luck finding one. Have checked the bookstores in Ames, all sports-related stores in the Ames mall, Cy's Locker Room online, and Googled it...
