I caught the end of a movie a while ago, but didn't get its title. It's about a Black guy who is executed in the electric chair for, I think, rape, and a prison guard and his mouse who live a long, long time. Sorry, that's all I saw. TIA, jr

That is The Green Mile, with Tom Hanks. It is a movie based on Stephen King's book, which is several volumes. BTW, Stephen King has a new book out, a romance! I usually don't like regular horror books, but I love his character development skills, so this book is going to the top of my reading list.

I enjoyed that movie (The Green Mile) very much. There were solid performances by all of the actors cast in that film.

One thing that really hit home for me, as a nurse, is how much we in modern society have come to take for granted Antibiotics and how easily (for the most part) we can treat and cure illness.

VV, I also heard about that new book he just released. Let me know how you like it .. perhaps you can post an opinion about it. I am still undecided about whether to attempt to read it in my limited schecule. Smile

Sherasi: aren't you going to take any down time for yourself when you have the baby? You really glow in your picture on DP.

VV: I will take time off if I can, however it depends when I "go". Since I am High Risk, we are monitoring my physical status and blood pressure. I will need a C-section regardless, but we are trying to get me past 32 weeks of pregnancy. I've never gone longer than that before. Smile (I am 26 weeks plus a couple days now)

As for taking time, well, if Jaden is born too early, she will be in the NICU and time for myself will be at a minimum with work and the hospital.

It is all up to God and the Obstetrician now. LOL

BTW, thanks for the lovely compliment! {blush}

Hope all goes well with the pregnancy, Twin. Back to the film: could someone tell me what was the cause of the guard's and mouse's long life?

J.R., I would advise reading the Stephen King book to find out... but it has to do with being touched by the one prisoner, who had some extraordinary powers of healing.

The only SK book I've read all the way through was The Shining. Couldn't get interested in any others.
