I remember Felix the Cat, and the old Popeye cartoons, in black and white. Betty Boop was a little before my time, but I remember Boop cartoons when I was very little. Annette Funicello was a Mouseketeer and Kurt Russell was still a little kid in Disney movies.

I just read an article about this new Godzilla, today. I'm having a hard time figuring out what more they can do with this same story, unless it picks up after the last remake, with the worm researcher and the "French Guy". I suppose advances in special effects could make the movie an...

My New Year's resolution is to get serious about making money, online. I have a couple of projects that I'm getting started on, but I need to start budgeting my time and setting goals!

I hadn't watched much television on my computer, but might start doing so since I found a website that shows British television shows! Before this month, though, the only time I watched anything from television on my desk top was if I missed an episode of a Masterpiece Classic series. Then, I'd...

I would love to find late night talk shows from the UK. We'll get Graham Norton starting this month, but there must be others. I have not enjoyed American late night television since Johnny Carson retired from late night programming. Those were the days.

My favorite season is summer. I have a health problem that makes me extremely sensitive to barometric changes. Summer's weather tends to be a little more stable than that of winter. Since falling would be terribly dangerous for me, summer weather allows me to get out of the house without...

I shop, almost exclusively, online. I can take my time, compare prices between stores, and I don't have to listen to wailing children while trying to think. I never shop Amazon, though. I started boycotting them back in 2009!

I was hooked on Star Trek when I was a kid, Some of this was because William Shatner was really good looking, back then, and some was the way they portrayed human interaction. People of different races and cultures, together on a ship exploring the universe was a much needed shot of hope...

I don't think I've been brainwashed, but then I do not watch broadcast television. We watch satellite television. If anything, we gravitate toward shows reflecting our existing ideas about the world.

I liked Finding Nemo. The story was well crafted with nice touches, like the "children" hopping on the singing Manta Ray and head off for school and the migrating Sea Turtles. Ellen DeGeneres' performance was hilarious. Most of all, it did not get nearly as sappy as many animated family...

This assumes that women are always dressing to attract others. Many women dress more for themselves than to attract other men. Some women wear revealing clothing because they believe they look good in it. Any man's attraction to her while she is wearing what she feels good in is a happy side...

My checkbook motivates me. It is based on true needs in my own life and not my paying for ideas I've already tried! :cool:

I will always buy physical books. They might be paperbacks, but I believe in having a home library, and owning the physical copies so that I'm not stuck having to re-purchase a book lost to an unfortunate computer, tablet, or e-reader accident. We handle our music the same way. We buy the...

Outside of dust, my husband collects old Star Trek props. Not "The Next Generation" but the first Star Trek series. We have one of those old pistol grip phasers and a few other items, still in their boxes, stored in the house safe. I have a nice collection of photos. I have Majel Barret's...

I completely understand your disgust! A few months after Myst was released and everyone discovered how frustrating the game was, someone created a knock off called "Pyst". I did not purchase it but quietly applauded the programmers creativity in sharing his opinion. It sounds like someone...
