I hope that Kiefer Sutherland does not have anymore bad press as well, especially during the upcoming 8th season of 24 which is currently in production.

Mary G. thanks for posting a comment. You're not a fan of Jack Bauer? Everybody (or almost everybody) seems to be a fan of Jack Bauer! He's the MAN, lol.

I would probably get most of the main characters if they made action figures for more of the starring cast on the show such as Chloe O'brian and Bill, even though season 7 wasn't very fun for Bill. It would be nice to at least have a Tony Almeida action figure option in addition to the two ones that are available now.

Who in the world brings Sardines to a movie theater? Out of all the options for snacks. That's pretty rude.

I vote for The Transformers Movie, The Taking of Pelham 123 and give half of one vote to The Proposal only because I would want to watch that movie to show support for Sandra Bullock but it still appears to be one of those stupid comedies that are not funny. Therefore, it's either a rental OR something to watch on HBO during rainy weekends and late nights when nothing else is on TV.

The Taking of Pelham 123 looks promising and I won't be surprised if Transformersracks in big bucks upon it's release.

One movie that didn't make this list (probably because it's in a sort of limited release) is The Girlfriend Experience, which opened recently and was directed by Steven Soderbergh.

"Little Fockers"? That franchise was done when they got married, unless they went onto "Living with the Fockers" or something like that. What is this new movie going to be like? Maybe "Look Who's Talking" but the studio has a lot of work ahead to make "Little Fockers" as funny as the first two or nearly as funny as "Meet the parents". Ben Stiller makes some funny movies but I wouldn't depend on him to carry the third one all by himeself.

They parents were met and the couple got married. Why can't the studio move onto some fresh ideas and Be done with it already!!!!

You can join as many groups as you want on Gather too. The only problem seems to come up when members wants to post the same thing to hundreds of groups.

Gather makes the rules meaning that just because we may join tens of groups or even hundreds of groups, that does not mean we can share posts with as many groups as we want (Based on this article and complaints by a few other members).

My main point was that Gather should not be getting complaints about posting limits on groups, especially when the limit is "250" (according to the comments in this article). Who in the world needs to share one single post with more than 250 groups? Come on and get real here. It's not "sharing" beyond 50 or 20 groups even. When it gets up to the level of 250, that is bombarding members, especially when many of us belong to the same groups. I won't try to speak for everyone here, but I don't want to see the same post on every group that I check out on Gather. I visit a different group to read a "New" post.

Maybe the limits were set in place to make sure that there is more variety throughout the groups on Gather. It gives most, if not all members a chance to have their posts read, rated or commented on.

If you don't like the limits, then share your posts elsewhere. Add 250+ friends on Myspace and send out the post in a Bulletin to all of them. There's an easy solution right there. No more room for complaints. Gather can do whatever they want, and obviously, they chose to have limits on groups.....I think it's GREAT!

Many websites have limits. Myspace has limits on the amount of top friends that can be displayed on a profile. Twitter has limits on the amount of words and letters you can send out at a time. Gather has limits on how many groups you can share the same post with....so what. Get over it.

Having limits to the number of groups that members can share the same post with is a great decision by Gather. There is no point in any member joining hundreds of groups if he or she is not going to participate in ALL of them. Since there are Gather members who are part of 50 or more groups and do not keep up with all of them (reading and commenting and providing feedback on other gather posts in the group), it is GREAT that Gather has a limit on sharing a single post with groups. In my opinion, 250 is very lenient and there shouldn't be any complaints about these limits.

If there were no speed limits on the highway, more car accidents woould occur. If there were no limits on the amount of alcohol one can drink out in public or to drive, then there would be more deaths or serious injuries as a result of alcohol poisining. If there were no limits on the amount of Tylenol children and adults should take....we would all be dead.

Be grateful for what you are given instead of complaining about what you don't have.

Much like Chloe, I have not reached any gift card levels yet. However, a Borders gift card would be useful to get some cool books, magazine or other gifts for my friends.

I thought that this movie may be a rental because Christian Bale is not one of my favorite actors. However, I watched a trailer for Terminator right before a screening of the new X-men movie and then decided that it may be worth checking out.

I'm not sure if this applies to me at all. Based on the news articles that I read in the last few weeks....aren't the stimulus checks only for certain groups like Social Security recipients and veterans and such or is there a separate stimulus for regular, everyday working folk? I'm not into politics much and do not keep up to date with all of the bills and plans related to these types of things.

Good news. Were they only going to Social Security recipients and veterans? Which part of this "Stimulus" package benefits people who are on unemployment who who worked and were recently fired or quit their jobs but still had to play taxes? I know someone who paid lots of taxes, even in 2008 and was laid off a few months ago. Does she get a $250 stimulus check too?

Thanks for the options Kevin.

Paula C., It's good that you don't have any trouble uploading photos. Unfortunately, there are other members on Gather who do. This post was meant to offer suggestions as a solution to Gather members other than yourself who may experience some difficulty in uploading photos.

Thanks for the comments!

Lisa, you met Kiefer Sutherland?!!!! That must have been a fun experience. It's nice to know that he is a nice guy based on your meeting with him. Other people (those involved in his recent and alleged head-butting incident) may not agree. Could you share one of your pictures with the group?

Congrats on your bird friends hatching. Since you love Spring, it was probably a fun experience. Spring is not a favorite season for me. The weather gets humid and sticky and my hair gets difficult to manage during the spring. It's a good season to take fantastic photos though.

The donation button thing may work out for you. One important thing to note about that is people will donate if they find your content useful or if it benefits them in one way or another. They will donate to support future content on your website. Tripod may not be the best place to host a blog or website if you want to build a really professional site. It's not exactly user-friendly with all of the pop-up advertisements and such and will annoy many visitors.

If you are not willing to pay for hosting and want to keep running a free website, other services like Typead, Blogger, Wordpress, Livejournal and even Freewebs (Now, Webs.com) offer blogging features that are not as annoying as Tripod pages.

Good morning, or good evening, as I got this post kind of late. Reflecting on great memories of your Grandmother may help to get you through this tough time.

Have fun surfing those waves! Stanley's listing about finishing the Bible is a good one.

Paula C, I think that prosecuting him is kind of silly but then again, as adults, we're not exactly in high school anymore (or at least I'd like to hope that adults are not) so men and women don't have the right to just go around attacking people, even if it's done via head-butting. I like Kiefer Sutherland and the 24 TV Show, but if he did put his hands or head on that fashion designer, then he was breaking the law in some form and the guy has the ability to press charges against him for that.

Now, should Kiefer Sutherland face jail time? I probably would settle for some type of apology and fine and maybe an extension on his probation but the fact that he was already on probation when this incident happened (allegedly of course, because us 24 fans were not there to witness what Did or Didn't happen) has placed him in a bad light. If he is found to have violated his probation, then he may be facing tougher consequences not because of the head-butting claim alone but also because of his prior DUI offense.
