    I'm so old that.....

    Television was a huge part of my youth and I am admittedly a product of the television age. (Also the "Space Age", I even had the Saturn V version of the water rocket. :) (Oh, and hornets? Growing up in Southern Cal. we certainly had our run-ins with hornets, wasps and just bees and red ants...

    I'm so old that.....

    I miss the more pleasant, "million-dollar moment", "production value" type television commercials like this one... Windsong perfurme by Prince Matchabelli - YouTube Something that would draw the viewer in, as opposed to a getting in their face, high pressure angle. The ones they run today...

    I'm so old that.....

    I remember Little Oscar and the Weiner Mobile, (which we did make fun of. :redface:) How about ads like this? Anyone else going to run away from home to Tahiti in their mini-submarine? Then there was junior rocket science... 15 cent balsa wood airplanes you could make a...

    Republican Comrades - we have a problem

    Oh, this is no problem at all... When the polls show that Americans are happy with "Obamacare", they'll just switch gears and remind everyone that it was fostered by the Heritage Foundation and that before it became "Obamacare" is was "Romneycare"... :rolleyes: Simple as pie and repubs are...

    75 Years in the Future

    Notice, that they include the preceding year in each case... do you want them to make an exception for Bush2? And to the bold, let's see your "facts" that can't be denied. I posted mine, let's see yours, if you would be so kind. Other than that, just sounds like more unfounded baloney...

    75 Years in the Future

    And keep side-stepping away from the fact that the OP is wrong. Govt spending has slowed far below the rates of repub admins. But I realize the facts are like kryptonite to you guys and you will blather out any kind of BS to avoid the unsavory truth about your "fiscal conservatives"...

    Thx's Homeless Odyssey

    Here is another one that is short documentary length, but well worth the watch, this one and the last are maybe the two best I've ever seen... (I thought I'd put these up first before we got to the real "nuts and bolts" of surviving homeless. First things first, right? :))) When the Middle...

    Thx's Homeless Odyssey

    This video is a bit long, but is one of the best vids I've seen on how someone can slip into homelessness... This guy's story is pretty common: a broken home and they use up all their resources trying to hold on to what they have... From Middle Class to No Class in America - YouTube Eaten...

    Thx's Homeless Odyssey

    Oh, I worked most of the time, but in Cali I couldn't find anything in my career field and couldn't seem to find any kind of work... Later, when I moved to Seattle and then a smaller town I worked all the time. The problem was.. I couldn't afford to live in the prosperous little town where...

    Thx's Homeless Odyssey

    Hello middle-Americans, Back in the 1980s I had a house, a couple cars, a good job as an industrial automation specialist, lots of stereo and musical instrument gear... you know, "The Great American Dream". This was in the So. Cal, San Gabriel Valley area. Then our company started...

    Newb trying to help homeless veterans

    Oh, I thought I would be a little more diplomatic and give them the benefit of the doubt and issue an offer (or challenge) to join the board in earnest and express their views (non-spam) in the forums.. But, I have seen many spammers at the maybe dozen boards I have belonged to over the last...

    75 Years in the Future

    And to say nothing (of course) of stagnant wages and tax breaks for the wealthy... the "job creators".. so where are the jobs? So, did Reagan not get the debt ball rolling and didn't he triple the national debt in his terms? Perhaps you expect Fox News to become the only source of history...

    Newb trying to help homeless veterans

    I got your PM Gracie, thanks. Oh, I thought it would be nicer than the usual "SPAM ALERT!" :mad: style post. :) Thx :D (What you might try Medagan is remove that link and make your case out on the forums and maybe hear a few stories and views from homeless vets. It's okay to have a...
