I remember seeing that movie on late night TV I think. At least I remember the fight with the skeletons.

I remember thinking at the time that it was a pity they didn't have a pack of dogs they could sic on the skeletons. That would have taken care of things nicely.

:rofl:

It reminds me on one of the Tomb Raider levels...I want to say the third or fourth TR game...where she's in Egypt and several skeletons come after her. That was a game I never finished...I got so far and got distracted. :(

I need a wintery sig pic now...

I've started watching Stranger Things..and when I say started, I'm already into season 2. Darn binge-ing habits. It's good but quite creepy and nasty. Not for kids at all! I do have to stop watching it late at night as it is giving me bad dreams.

I am enjoying 12 Monkeys though.

So, I've been watching the World Cup.
And now I have a dilemma....
I like England and Sweden.
And on Saturday they will play each other to advance.
What to do.....
Well, while I won't cry if England wins
But Gustav Svenson who plays for my local club, the Sounders
Is on the the Swedish club and I have been rooting for him all through the games.
So I guess I want Sweden to take the match.

Going to be a good match though.

Sorry guys. All this snow and ice and freezing is too much for me. I'll never wish winter back no matter how hot and humid it gets around here.

No, I don't like the humidity, but I don't like it freezing either.

Me, I'll take a nice, temperate tropical beach, with cool sea breezes and lots of Svens on hand to bring frosty drinks and give massages. :D :wink: =:)

THAT'S my answer to the it's-93F-but-it-feels-like-103F temps!

LK

P.S. I don't have time to look for a pic now, but I'll see what I can do later.

Well, Sweden lost the match.
But it was a good match all the same.
England has a good side so I'm not that upset about the loss.

We had a nice reprieve from the humidity over the weekend. It was great. That's my kind of summer. Temps in the low 80's F and dew point (or humidity levels) in the 50 to 60 degree range.

Wish it would stay that way. Unfortunately the humidity levels are back up.

I hate having to run my AC all the time. My electric bill is gonna be through the roof.

Well, England got burned in the World Cup.
Yeah, they should have played a bit more aggressively after their first (and only) goal.
But the AR totally blew two out of bounds calls that would have given them a chance at a corner and a throw in.
Lousy reffing on all sides, if you ask me.

Well, I'll be cheering for for France on Sunday.
