Thanks for saying that . So few people do (agree with me that is)đ
Arthur Hunnicutt was a great character actor. He must have been because he was able to work with dogs without being upstaged.đ
He is in two of my all time favorite Bonanza episodes, Any Friend of Walterâs and Walter and the Outlaws.
Walter was a sleepy eyed Airedale who hardly moved, yet his owner Obie, a prospector, thought he was the smartest dog in the world.
His favorite phrase in reference to his dog, âAinât he a caution?â
Definitely grasping! Or did you get your info from the late Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee? Last spring, shortly before she passed away, she âexplainedâ the difference between the sun and the moon.
She said we get our energy from the sun in the daytime and from the moon at night. So maybe you have something there.đ
Gosh I miss her and her nutty explanations. And she was serious when she made them.
An old sitcom from the fifties starred Bob Cummings. It was aptly titles The Bob Cummings Show. It was also called Love that Bob
I never saw the intro as racist, it was just foreshadowing. The character who thinks she is the most knowledgeable gets taken out first.
Jada Pickett Smithâs character says, among other things, âSee if that was me, Iâd be outta there!â and âStar 69 his a$$â (yeah, like that would have made a differenceâ!).
Just standard fair in movies like this, especially ones that are self aware. Sydney tells Randy in the first Scream that she hates those scary movies because itâs always a big breasted girl running upstairs when she should be running out the door. âItâs insultingâ.
Yet two minutes later, she does that very thing. I donât get worked up over a characterâs comments in a movie.
Yeah, for me he was the best part of Police Woman! Very fine actor, RIP.
Do you seriously want me to name names?đ
My evidence is in what I observe and deal with at work. Or doesnât personal experience count for diddly squat?
I donât think we are on opposing sides. I definitely want legal immigration.
But the reality is that immigrants ( in any country) are the ones who do the boring, dangerous or hardest menial jobs. I live in what was coal country. Who do you think the miners were back in the early 1900âs? A lot of my ancestors from Central Europe, the Irish too.
I do not believe in giving welfare benefits and everything else to illegals. But there has to be a middle ground. Many people come here desperately looking for work. There should be a way to admit them and allow them to take the jobs that, face reality, many Americans refuse to do.
I am not saying that no Americans would not do farm work for decent wages. Donât know that there are millions. Where is your evidence?
I actually do not even know what these farmers were paying. I was just trying to point out that many Americans have crappy work ethics. Or maybe it is just where I live.
I have âanecdotal evidenceâ from all the jobs I have held in this town. Besides my regular job, I have a part time restaurant job. I cannot even remember in the past two years how many employees have come and gone. They call in sick or do not show up at all. Many Americans just do not want to WORK. There are plenty of able bodies people in this town with EBT cards, just hanging out with their cell phones, tattoos and cigarettes.
As much as Americans should come first, many do not want to work. If people want to come here and work, there needs to be a way to help them. Of course do it legally. One of our cooks at the restaurant just got his citizenship last summer. He did it legally. And the man works incredibly long hours. I admire that.
This is a tough issue with no easy answers. I live in a small town surrounded by farms. I know some farm owners personally. They have a very hard time getting people to actually work. They show up drunk or high or not at all.
If illegals are willing to work, put a system in place to get them their green cards. Make farmers pay them a decent wage.
With all due respect to Michael Dorm, season seven âGenesisâ was the worst piece of crap ever. I almost stopped watching the show after that one. Trek was never really great science fiction, it was more science fantasy. But this one was pure nonsense.
When my cat barfs up a hairball on something that I just washed
Bananas and anything banana flavored
People ,especially bosses, who take their bad mood out on you
Drivers who run red lights and stop signs (an epidemic in my town)
TV commercials (that is why I cancelled my cable about five years ago)
First of all, an eye for an eye is not âbiblical. bloodlustâ, Anthony. It means that the punishment should fit the crime.
I donât have any problem with murderers, rapists, etc. getting life in prison. But so often, that does not happen. They serve part of a sentence and get out to claim more victims. Capital punishment may not âprevent crimeâ, but it sure prevents murderers from doing it again. Laws donât prevent people from committing crimes either. Should we abolish laws?
The Manson Family was given the gas chamber, yet their sentences were commuted to life when California outlawed the death penalty. It was infuriating and totally unfair for the families of the victims to have to go through a painful ritual every few years when these evil people came up for parole! Parole!
Sharon Tateâs mother, Mrs. Doris Tate, asked her daughterâs killer why should he be given mercy. All these killers go to college on the taxpayer dime, they âfind the Lordâ and blah, blah, they are all better now and rehabilitated. Makes me want to barf.
I have read many books on what cops deal with. They are appalled at prison psychiatrists who fall for these criminals sob stories and phony bulls@#$! Big Ed Kemper was back out on the street after murdering his grandparents when he was 15. One parole officer argued that he needed to be in prison. Ed Kemper attended one of his parole hearings with the head of one of his teen-age victims in the trunk of his car!
To his credit though, he has refused parole hearings and remains in prison now. The prison system is too stupid, but at least he has the self awareness to say, â I should never go free.â
One cop said he hates prison psychiatrists because âthey put absolute maniacs back on the street.â
Donât want to execute them? The leave them where the belong, in a jail cell until they die.
Stephanie Barnett was interesting in the first episode. And Sheldon sure liked her. She filled out his requirements for his âStar Trekâ group. Stephanie was going to be the female Dr. McCoy.
But they turned her into a needy, crying basket case. She was hysterical when Leonard wanted to break up with her. They hardly knew each other. They hadnât dated long, but she acted like he was breaking their engagement.
And not to be too critical, but Leonard was hardly the kind of guy women would drool over and then sob if he broke up with them!
The first Alien was so shocking and I never thought anything could live up to those shocks. But Aliens did a great job. The film waited a long time to show the aliens. Very suspenseful
I have mixed feelings about Newt. The character sure was brave and resourceful, much raved than Hudson. But her ear piercing shrieks got on my nerves after repeated viewings.
It sounds mean, but I wish Ripley had not rescued her. After all, she was going to die anyway since the Alien Queen came on board with Ripley after her brave rescue of Newt. If Ripley had resigned herself to the loss of Newt, then she and Hicks and Bishop would have survived.
I used to enjoy it when he asked the questions on Jeopardy science categories.
I read one of his books and it was very interesting and readable for a non-science expert like myself. However, he did go on and on about Pres. Obama, apparently a big fan of his. đ€© He seemed rather starstruck.
Donât know what Obama had to do with physics or science in general.
Funny that you should mention that song. I was just listening to it the other day!
I like to watch those reaction videos on YouTube where young people listen to our music, that was back when singers had actual talent.
That song is a bit corny, but fun. My parents used to get a kick out of the follow up parody sung by a male group, âLeader of the Laundromatâ.
A lot! At least a pack a day. My mom was really a chain smoker in her later years. She would go through a carton a week. And that was after several bouts of pneumonia and needing to be on oxygen.
She would leave the oxygen tank in her bedroom and smoke in the kitchen. Her mom, my grandmother was a big smoker too. She lived to 77. Mom made it to 83. Could hardly breathe. Wish she would have quit years ago.
Agree with the OP about those two times. But Edith was always motivated to do the right thing. Edith always tried to do the right thing though. She thought she was helping Archie. In the second instance, she did not want to insult Louise by refusing her invitation.
But it was wrong to spring it on Archie!
Sometimes she overdid the nice thing, like trying to deliberately lose at playing cards. Edith thought it would cheer up Archie if he won. But it only hurt his pride.
Wow, I didnât realize that if I waited long enough I would be in agreement with Rob Reiner about something! Although I have never confronted strangers or anyone out in public about smoking.
I used to nag my parents to quit when I was a kid. I was always scared they would get lung cancer. But neither one ever did and they lived to ripe old age.
You mean that sheâll be bunking with Prince Andrew?đ
