Well, you go to college, graduate, get one of those job things, then you get a mortgage and a house, and pay it off until you retire so then you could sell it and confortably live the rest of your life in a small apartment.
I don't have a lot of money, but I know what I'd do with it if I had it.
Nice... or my father owns three houses here in Czech and also in Slovakia, doesn´t anyone to change his lovely house near see in USA with a house in a backcountry like is Czech republic?

Maybe if two or three of you went in together on it.... I'm pretty sure it's a three-bedroom house, nice-sized lot, very close to schools and churches. (You'd have to go a bit farther if you wanted a temple or mosque, but of course we have those, too!)
Not sure what they're asking. The sign out front has had a "price reduced" sign added to it.
This is not a bad place to live -- not too big city or too small town (although the current administration is about to use our tax money to build a new sports stadium without the taxpayers approval! )

Mmt... maybe they wopuld change it with one of my daddy´s houses?? ;D
The first one... it´s a quite big house (two bathrooms, five bedrooms, two kitchenes, two living rooms...) with the garden of 200x50 metres... The church and the scholl are maybe 1km far
The second one is a little bit smaller, only 4 bedrooms, one bathroom, one kitchen, but with the garden maybe of 200x2000 metres... but no school, no church as I see it... only an village of 200 people
And the last one its the one, I´m livinf with my parents in, normal three bedrooms house with two bathroom, one kitchen and two living rooms... the garden only 20x30 metres, but it´s in the city of 200 000 people, co that´s great I´m not the type to live in the village

Well someone has fallen down on the job. PB was on Today with Katie Couric this morning talking about The Matador .
I wish they would list these talk show appearances on his official web site. I mean, who would know better than HIM which shows he's going to be appearing on? Inquiring minds want to know these things!

They've done a real good job of it in the past but they seem to have missed this and they don't have the Shootout listed either.
When Pierce is in NYC, we girls get a memo so we can go shower him with love and attention. :-D
As for the beard: Any bets on what kind of bag that beard is going to be in when it is under the tree.
Love...B
I dunno. He should at least keep it around for Christmas day so he can play Santa for the kids. Come December 26th Keely can go after it like Edward Scissorhands. Maybe she can make a topiary out of it.
That reminds me, 'tis the season in TV land when shows begin to air their Very Special Christmas episodes. They had one on "Monk" last night. In an undercover op Monk has to dress up as a department store Santa to get some information out of a kid whose father might have tried to kill his police captain. (The MO was a poisoned bottle of wine. Shades of Hearts Of Steele, LOL!) As you can easily imagine, the phobic Monk didn't want any of the kids to sit on his lap, squirmy little germ factories that they are.
Remington Steele didn't do so badly in the Christmas episode department. At least they tried to gin up some suspense rather than ladling on the treacle. Even the sentimental bits between R & L have sincerity and are counterbalanced with a certain wry self deprecation from Steele.
Dancer, Prancer, Donner, etc. scooped Die Hard, plotwise. I could have done with a few less soliloquys around the egg nog from the secondary characters, but there were compensations in the form of Steele wearing braces, which always was a turn-on for me. They're not for everyone but on the right physique they do have a salutory effect on the drape of pleated trousers. And Steele has such a very erect...posture, no?

Poor little "grimy tykes"

He gets his uniquely marvelous posture from his portrayer. I was watching North by Northest last night and was actually mttering at Cary Grant to stand up straight already -- his shoulders are rounded and his posture is poor and it just ruined the backline of his lovely suit.
It's interesting that they only did the one X-mas episode. One of the writers in the commentary and I forget which one had an idea for a an episode that involved X-mas and was told he could either have the idea or X-mas but not both and he chose the idea. So it seems like they actively chose not to do X-Mas episodes, no doubt to avoid the treacle that comes with most.
They did manage to avoid that with their lone entry. The monolgues by the guests do push the limits but they're basically played for comic effect of over the top holiday revelations. The Steele peak into his past on the other hand is subtly and touching rendered and earns it's emotion. Add to that the juxtaposition at the start of their differening opinions on Holidays and we also get humor. Makes one wonder what their 3 previous X-mases together were like. Did Laura always chirp? Did she go to Connecticut? Did Steele sneak off to Monte Carlo?
Monk would be the last one to volunteer to bathe them, LOL!

I don't disapprove of the guest monologues per se, just that they spent too much air time on them that could more profitably been spent elsewhere. I know it's satire and all but when the Allison Green character stands up and says, "I want a baby!" you do get the overwhelming urge to bite down on a cyanide capsule.
Steele and Laura's scene is a nice shift in tone from the guest stars' and is really well played. And, I agree, it earns its emotion, each revelation and reaction has character at its core so the effect never feels tacked on.
As for Laura's chirpiness, I suspect part of her need to put on the trappings of Christmas may go back to girlhood and her father's leaving and trying to convince herself that all's right with the world. Perhaps it became a pattern around the holidays when one would feel most nostalgic for the way things once seemed. Still, no doubt, if it involves visiting her mother, Christmas spirit is finite.
STEELE: [clicking the remote to a movie channel] Ah, "Christmas in Connecticut"! What a classic, eh? Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan, Sydney Greenstreet, Warner Brothers 1945.
LAURA: [gives him a look that could freeze mercury] Bite your tongue, Mr. Steele.
STEELE: [with a slight smirk] I sense I've hit a nerve.
LAURA: [morose] I suppose you'll be sneaking off to Monte Carlo again.
STEELE: Really, Laura. One doesn't sneak off to Monte Carlo! One winters. A Monegasque Christmas is lovely. And you wouldn't want me to disappoint the royals.
LAURA: Why do I get the feeling that the only thing royal you'll be near to is a royal flush? Afraid the croupiers will forget your face?
STEELE: One should never take chances. My entree into the casino is like a seat on the stock exchange. Something to be groomed and nurtured, to be passed on to the next generation!
LAURA: [her eyes widen at this] I thought you didn't like grimy little tykes.
STEELE: [realizing he's said too much. Shrugs.] Only when they're in season.
I just spotted another PB interview coming up next week! I was tuning in on A & E to watch the Harry Potter special before the interview on AMC when the program prior to it was ending--the host said Pierce will be a guest on the "Breakfast with the Arts" show next week: Sun. Dec. 11th on A & E between 8 to 10 a.m. Check it out!

The Late Night TV Page states that Pierce is due to be a guest on THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART (Comedy Central) on January 5th. My hubby informs me that they usually put their celebrity interviews up for viewing on the net, so those of you that don't get the Comedy Central station will most likely still get to see it. Here's their web site:
