Surprised? sad

Our gov was determined to save us from that corporation Toyota. Even got the execs and took turns dragging them through the mud. Stop driving those cars. Bring them in for repairs. The best engineers found nothing. It was all BS.

Of course, as much as I like Toyotas, I find some of their commercials idiotic. sad

Timeless toys from childhood

Posted By Darian Rachal
Interesting list, Russ. I had a View Master as a child and just assumed that they had just come on the market when I got one. Your list says they were introduced in the '30s. shocked

No Looting

Mel, It certainly is quite a contrast with the behavior of the 'parasites' in New Orleans after Katrina. cwy

Katie bar the door

David, It's been almost 40 years since I've regularly watched the evening news. When I was a teenager in high school I enjoyed the Huntley/Brinkley Report. We only got NBC; neighbors with antennas got several channels. wink

I just wonder who, these days, watches the evening news on a regular basis to get their information about the world? On those rare occasions when I am exposed to it, it almost has a 'surreal' quality to it. 8O

A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose your job. A recovery is when Obama loses his job smile
Greg, I believe the originator of that joke was the fellow that played "Mr. Haney" on the 'Green Acres' program and it was originally in reference to Jimmy Carter. shocked

Do you think that true dreams exist?

Posted By Darian Rachal
Refet, What I find interesting is what I would call 'reoccurring dreams'. I seem to have these a great deal. The dreams are not the exact same, but have reoccurring themes. For example, last night I dreamed about being at a seashore, getting in the water and "jumping" the waves as they came in. This is just one of many reoccurring dreams I have. There's a bit more to it than just that, but you get the idea. FWIW. smile

Gray wolves helped prevent a shutdown...

Mike, I'm not sure about what purpose the "news media" in the US actually serves, but for the most part it rarely provides anything useful. I guess some people that take what they hear seriously, think they are provided with important facts about what is going on in the world. For the most part, I consider it nothing more than useless 'noise'. cwy

"Anyone want to be there's a liberal involved in this story somewhere?"

Mike, The sad part is that in the minds of some individual(s) this is an intelligent decision. cwy It would have been interesting to have sat in on the meeting where this was discussed.

But in the larger scheme of things ....

FWIW, Did anyone see the 'controversy' over a clothing company ad showing a mother painting her little boy's toenails pink? shocked

One of the great tragedies of warfare

Posted By Darian Rachal
Very unfortunate. cwy I find it perplexing, the thought processes that an individual must go through to reach the decision to end their life. It's incomprehensible to me.
