Well my dear friends guess what I am watching on the movie channel. What movie did these famous words come from, “ I will love you just as I do now until I die. "
I am giving something of mine away that I love that has to do with this movie. The winner will have a choice of this or my famous Ms Ruby’s chocolate candy.
So let’s do this giveaway a little different than the usual. After everyone has a chance to guess what movie I am watching by leaving a comment then I will let all of you know what the prize is and what you need to do to win.
Why the giveaway? It is to celebrate all the kind sweet followers that leave me comments like the ones I have attached to this post. These comments are from the post about the idiot that made my life miserable at work one day. Read the funny and sincere comments that were left for me and enjoy them. Visit their wonderful sites and fall in love with them like I have done so.
Also check out my other comments left on the post before this one. They are hilarious and you need to check out their blogs as well.
Enjoy

Um, yes they tend to do this at the state hospital where husband works. What is it about crap and drunks/and or the mentally ill? Why would they choose to touch it, much less write with it? Lord, when can you retire?

You do have to be strong to work in the jail. Drunks have to be the worse. I don't think I would have the patience.

OH, MAGGIE!!! how utterly nasty, but so UNsurprising. these people have such CLASS, really!
i managed a Blockbuster video for a while, and i had this weird customer who used to talk too much and try to get too personal (i think he had "problems", though i'm not sure of the nature). he rented movies EVERY SINGLE DAY. one morning, he asked me to recommend a movie, and i did, based on what i'd seen and thought he might like, given his renting history. well he apparently didn't like it.
he dropped the movie off in the slot with duct tape wrapped around it (we literally had to CUT IT OUT), and with a note inside the case that was just full of vulgarities. i had to call to tell him we wouldn't be able to rent to him again, based on his behaviour.
so he wrote us a formal apology, and came in personally to speak with me. after some consideration, i let him off the hook, with a big, fat warning. at some point while he was in the store, he used the bathroom, and then as he left, he smiled a big smile and was laughing and winking at me.
a little later, i was informed by one of my employees that we had a "problem" in the bathroom.
OMG. he had smeared it all over the walls, the door, the floor, the mirror, the taps... his feces were even on the CEILING, as he apparently splattered it everywhere he possibly could.i was told by upper management not to press charges, as he had mental problems and it would just create more issues for all of us (and a yucky court battle). the bathroom had to be barricaded until we could get a power washer in there. *shudder*
that's my story. since you were so generous with your details, i thought i'd share, too! :)

God, aren't there some weirdos in this world. My hubby is a retired firefighter. For 30 years he saw so many weird things nothing shocks him anymore. Yes, police and firefighters definetly experience life like no other profession could even imagine!

Oh my! I guess it isn't funny, but pathetic. I'm sorry for that mess. Some people just don't know how to celebrate Christmas - or anything else for that matter.
I just read your post about the date. That's just why my mom decided she wasn't going to date after her divorce from my dad. I do believe there are some good guys out there though.

Since he put it there, couldn't you make him clean it? I don't think it would have bothered him much since it certainly didn't bother him to touch it the first time. Better yet, have him do it sober when all his senses are at 100%.
A big thanks to you for wearing that uniform and caring enough about us to do it.

crap and puke, it's what kept me out of nursing school. Other than that I would have been damn good! You are certainly a lot stronger than I Maggie, I would have lost it and Ms Pearl would have looked like a saint..;p

Yikes, better thee than me. Amazing that he wasn't drunk enough that he was able to write backwards. That takes concentration.
Perhaps teens with beginning alcohol problems should spend a night in drunk tank around a holiday. Bless you for the job you do.

I wish Mr. Poop and Mrs. Tattoo a wonderful life together because it's evident her marriage just went down the toilet! What a hilariously disturbing story. I love the pics you found to document it. Heeeeheeehee. So sorry ya have to put up with such nasty behavior!!!
Have a wonderful relaxing weekend void of any messages on the wall. God bless you and all you do!

Oh Maggie ~ You do live the life! I can not even believe that! I even had my hubby read it! Terrible! I hope you handed him a mop & bucket & said you can make your phone call when this dump shines like the top of the Chrystler Building :)
Thank you all for always leaving me sweet comments.
Be sure and check by in a few days to find out the name of the movie and what gift I am giving away.
Maggie
Another sweet picture by my lovely friend Mary Ellen Shipness. Please do not copy any of Ms Shipness pictures off of my site or we both will be in trouble. lol
Just enjoy them as I do. She was a beautiful artist and the most wonderful dear friend in the world.
I miss you ....M.E.

I will tell you like I tell my hubby when he wants me to guess a song title or movie title: I am NOT good at this game.
Blessings, andrea
oh my GOOMIE, Maggie! what a WONDERFUL movie! i just saw the big anniversary box set and put it on my wish list this christmas! it could only be Gone With The Wind, of course!! :)
those were some FABULOUS comments from your adoring fans! i love that everyone has their own unique sense of humour. your blog is an absolute JOY to visit!! xo
Ah, I do not qualify for this give away at all, being only a new follower and living in Europe, so do not count me in dear. But what caught my eye was the picture and the quote. It speaks so much to my romantic mindset. I have no idea what movie is, but it will be fun to find out. Good luck to everyone.
Have a Lovely Christmas,
xo

I loved all of these comments--and I agree, that guy was a JERK. You deserve better. And he is out there somewhere :)
The quote comes from the movie, "GONE WITH THE WIND!"
I'm going to guess Casablanca since it's one of my favorites. Great post, I enjoyed the comments and now have a new list of blogs to check out. Thanks!
Oh pick me pick me!! I know this one it is Gone with the Wind. I loved reading all the comments people left they brought a smile to my face I could only imagine they did the same for you.
~Karrie
Oh fiddle dee dee...hold on it's on the tip of my tongue...don't tell tell...As god is my witness...it'll come to me. Oh what the hell, Frankly my dear....I can't wait for your new giveaway...
tootles,

I know, I know...pick me...hand wavin' in the air 'bout to wet myself! ANSWER: Gone With the Wind!!!
The comments a great. Isn't it good to know what a great support system we have in our blogsisters.
Have a fantastic day full of blessed comments :o)
It is Gone with the Wind. Loved the movie, loved the book. Nothing like a romantic movie and it is not just a chick flick. Speaking of chick flicks my big ole burly hubby loves the movie Sleepless in Seattle and Fools Rush In.
Also, now that I am babbling, we actually watch Young and Restless together almost every day......
Can you believe that I have never watched Gone with the Wind??? I know, there must be something wrong with me...;p
Gone with the Wind sprang to mind!! I'm not certain though!! But I have to say I don't ever remember watching it all the way through - or at all!! Please don't hate me for never watching though!!!
xxxx
Oh, I'm not sure...But you are lovely to acknowledge us all!!! We love you just as we do now...forever... BTW, I meant to tell you I think your blog looks beautiful, all decked out in its Christmas bows!!! ~Janine XO
P.S. I'm so sorry about your loss of such a talented friend!! My heart grieves for you.~J.
Good grief, I'm in menopause and without estrogen I have no recollection of anything...but is it The Notebook? Love that movie.
I'm guessing, Gone With The Wind. Scarlett says that about the love of Tara and her land.
You know how dramatic she was!
I do believe my daughter watches Gone With The Wind at least once a month! It really was a wonderful movie. blessings, marlene
Maggie:
I'd LOVE to be sharing a cuppa hot chocolate with you right now, and hearing your stories first hand. As for that "crappy" story...Well, I would have been no help at all. See, I have this gag reflex thing...No. help. at. all. I tell you!
I finished all the jammies today!!!! Boxes shipped and now for finishing up the "local" gifts. Not the "rush" there was for the stuff that had to get north in time for Christmas Eve.
Have a wonderful evening, my dear. Hugs from your "weak stomach" friend.
xoxo

THANKS FOR FOLLOWING MY BLOG! HOP ON OVER, I AM HAVING AN AMAZING GIVE AWAY!!! YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS ONE!- HEATHER
I was going to say "It's a wonderful life".
I am enjoying your blog and your energy. xxx
Gone with the Wind, but I'll confess I "googled" it. LOL. Sometimes the truth gets you nowhere!.
Anyway I really enjoy readding your blog. As a former Texan I fully understand some of your stories and dilemmas.
I couldn't figure out what movie. Guess I haven't seen Gone With The Wind enough!
Good Morning Ms Maggie...
That has to be Ashley and Scarlet ofcourse. Love the movie. Gone with Wind....You are just to much, you and Ms Pearl.
Thanks for stopping by. You asked how I do it? Post and work full time? I work from 5:30am until 3pm. After dinner I spend time at my computer working. Some nights my neuropathy is bad, and I can't sleep, so I prepare some of my next day things while it helps take away the pain.
So love the post. Great job sweetie.
As always, country hugs...Sherry
"Gone With The Wind"...In France it's "Autant En Emporte Le Vent"...I love this quote...I will love you just as I do now until I die...wow so romantic.
Thank you so much Maggie for your warmly comment on Sweet Pea Stamps blog about my Ching-Chou Kuik's card. Straight to my heart. I'd be so happy to be on your Temptation Monday's site !!!

Hello! Best wishes for your giveaway. Things have been crazy busy around here but we are now on holiday so I am hoping to catch up on everyone and everything! Best wishes, Tammy
GWTW, yes.. but i think it was said by Ashley as Melanie lay dying .. as he held her glove .. i think ..
troy
The quote is from "Gone With The Wind". One of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. I can watch it over and over. Scarlett is one Kick-Ass Broad!
Gone with the Wind, Scarlett to Ashley...what she saw in him I will never know. He is sucha panty waist. Thank you so very much for your kind works about my blog. It is always nice to hear that folks like to visit. I enjoy your words immesnly and you make me laugh. I bet we could have a hellava lunch date sharing life's experiences. Blessings to you and I hope you get Clint for Christmas. Sea Witch
I'm a day late and a dollar short on telling you that it was GONE WITH THE WIND but that's OK. I just wanted to drop by to say hi and to let you know that although life does have some strange twists and turns - it is always, always worth living
That Blockbuster one made me cringe!!! How do you get it on the ceiling! I am still shuddering a tad.
I can not believe it and either will you. I just watched Gone with The Wind the other night, the whole thing from start to finish and i did not know that the quote was in that movie until I read the other commments. How could I have missed something like that, since it has to be the 100th time that i saw that oh so wonderful movie. Some times I just get in the mood for it!! I will have to go check out that post with the funny story in it that you posted the comments about. Now you have my curiosity working over time! off now to see what it was all about. Debby
Maggie, I have been thinking of you! Just wanted you to know even though I am using my daughters computer that I am your real live friend from GA. SharDonExclusives, Sharon
I don't want to check her off so I will write via her address. It is freezing cold here and lots of dirty snow to greet me on my arrival Sat. Merry Christmas, dear dear Maggie, I am sooooo sorry to hear about the hit and run but it does give you a good story to post (however it is NOT funny) I am thinking of you while I am in Iowa freezing my buns off. More snow on Wed. so we will have a white Christmas afterall. I fell UNDER the car with all my luggage chasing after me when I arrived but the trip up was deliciously relaxing. Have a wonderful wonderful Christmas and don't peak at your gift. Love, Sharon
p.s. I am missing those choc peanuts on the trip....love ya' sk
