I disagree, but that's a whole 'nother thread. :H

Send me the link! Emotions/psyche are a special interest and I like to hear other view points. Makes for a more stimulating conversation than effing politics that's for sure...

Yeah Dotts... give it a go... I'll bet you and DH can fix it. You have my cell number I think? If you get stuck I'll get Ken to talk to you about it.

I'm going to turn in and watch some Mad Men or OITNB. Oh yeah, Niner... Series 6 of Mad Men is on Netflix, forgot to say.

Nighty night Fenny and Dotty... sleep tight... XXX

Good morning, peeps. When is this rain going to end? :upset:

EW, I haven't been following the World cup stuff...I will have to go and see what happened.

Mama, isn't it hard to keep your make-up looking fresh in all that heat/humidity?

Nursie, do you have to reprimand somebody? Sounds like a drag.

Mama, I hope Pennsatucky behaves today. Oh, wait...it's Friday! I bet she has swollen ankles/morning sickness/toxemia/toxoplasmosis/hepatitis C today, and can't make it in! :H:H

Speaking of "Pennsatucky"...I decided to skitter over to Youtube and caught a few scenes/dribs and drabs from "Orange Is The New Black", since you ladies are always raving about it.

I was very surprised to see how much the show veered away from the actual book. In the book, the character "Crazy Eyes" was a Spanish lady, and barely two pages were devoted to her. She wasn't Piper's "Prison wife". She dropped seriously blatant hints indicating that she wanted to be Piper's prison wife, but Piper let her know she wasn't "that way" and Crazy Eyes soon lost interest. I was surprised to see the change of race and extended character development.

Also "Alex/Nora" in the book had a figure like a fireplug and the face of a bull dog. Claire Danes is definitely NOT what I expected! :H Their prison relationship was pretty surprising to me, as they had limited contact after they were imprisoned, and it took place only over a brief span of a few days when Piper had to go to Chicago towards the end of her sentence to testify re: her involvement in the whole drug/money laundering thing. Piper had very hostile feelings towards Nora/Alex for ratting her out for what amounted to a very minimal involvement in the scheme. She never perjured herself, either.

I understand that in order to make an entire multi-season series out of what was only a very brief stint in prison (15 months), they would have to embellish things a bit. I can't believe that Piper Kerman went for the whole perjuring plot twist, though. In the book, she's unflinchingly honest.

Book Piper had fond feelings for Pennsatucky, and wrote a glowing letter on her behalf to help her regain custody of her children and reduce her sentence. I can't recall Pennsatucky trying to stab Piper in a courtyard at all.

If I divorce myself from what I know and just try to enjoy the show, it might work for me. I really like the "Crazy Eyes" character. Man, that woman can act! Such passion, too. :H
