    CNN Opinion: Stop hating on the millenials

    I'm not saying that past generations haven't had employment problems, my point is that the rules have changed since then. Twenty years ago, or even ten years ago, "pounding the pavement" looking for a job usually yielded results. Now, it's "pounding the internet" and if a computer algorithm...

    CNN Opinion: Stop hating on the millenials

    My husband and I aren't millennials, but we have experienced the same difficulties with employment that the younger generation has. A big problem, as I see it, is that all of the rules have changed. No longer can you fill out an application at the actual place of business, hand it to a real...

    Disneyland 1955

    I almost feel the same way about Disneyworld. My mom is originally from Florida, so that's where we went for family vacations and a trip to Disneyworld was always a part of it. But so many things have changed, the Disney I long to return to, from the early 1980's, doesn't exist anymore. It's...

    Disneyland 1955

    Gee, I wonder why they didn't continue with the stagecoach rides? ;) The Jungle Cruise looks almost the same as today. I'm partial to DisneyWorld myself, but that's what I'm familiar with from childhood.

    Oh my! Yes, if only I had oodles of expendable income lying about.....:)

    85 year old fridge still humming along

    Neat! I wish the article went into more about how long this man had owned this particular fridge, where he found/bought it, does it require any maintenance, etc.

    Steven Spielberg To Produce New Movie Version Of John Steinbeck's 'The Grapes Of Wrat

    I see two paths for this: 1) total CGI clusterf*** a'la the recent Great Gatsby, or 2) turning into a political statement with today's modern economy and immigration reform not-so-subtly hinted at. Either way, no thanks. I'll stick with the John Ford movie.

    Color Footage of New York City, 1939

    I had to laugh at one of the comments at the bottom of the page, "Even the fat people were skinny." It's true! Today's average size is so much more bigger than yesterday's "fat person."

    Birding - A Civilized Pastime

    I've become a sort of bird watcher recently. Never really paid much attention to them before, as we have SO many robins around and they're fairly boring to look at (only because I always see them, perhaps). But this year I've been noticing birds showing up that I've never seen in the area...

    Color Footage of New York City, 1939

    Not sure if this has been posted anywhere yet but found this today on Gawker (of all places). Nice to watch, just wish it were longer. http://gawker.com/heres-some-extremely-rare-color-footage-of-new-york-ci-510706981

    An extraordinarily well-preserved dress, WWI era. Wow.

    Gorgeous!

    The Parisian Apartment sealed up for 70 years! Amazing time capsule!

    If you look closely at one of the photos you can see some wallpaper peeling with apparent water damage to the wall behind it....but it's amazing that there was never any other building disasters in all those years. I'm thinking like a burst pipe or a fire or something that would require the...

    PBS Masterpiece theater Mr Selfridge

    I think much of the criticism revolves around a mutual loathing of Jeremy Piven, lol.

    Premature burial that causes you the most pain....

    What is "STTOS?" I'm upset that Fox canceled "Touch". I'm also hanging on tenterhooks waiting to see if ABC renews "The Neighbors" for a second season....one of the funniest comedies to come along, IMO.

    PBS Masterpiece theater Mr Selfridge

    The first season finale was last night. I was very underwhelmed with the first episode, but it has grown on me....even Jeremy Piven whom I greatly dislike, lol. I've found myself looking forward to finding out what happens as each different plot line develops. I'm disappointed that season 2...

    Data Recorders, Personal Vehicles and Mass Transit

    I think the only people who would flock to using public transit, should data recorders in cars become the norm, would be those who are convinced that there is a conspiracy behind it all to use the information for dubious purposes. Sorry, this just smacks of tin foil hat mentality to me.

    The Great Gatsby - Remake in the Works

    Just the previews have turned me off of wanting to watch it. I don't know what kind of camera effect they're using but everyone looks plastic and fake, and the sets all look like total greenscreen CGI. No thank you.

    peircings with classic vinatge, not rockabilly...opinions please! :)

    Tongue piercings are only not-visible when you're not talking. As soon as you open your mouth to speak, it is quite obvious. If that is important to you, you will want to take that into consideration.

    We Deserve Better--Or Do We?

    Actually I think there is a lot more music choice now, all thanks to the internet and social media. All you have to do is look for it. It's there. In the 60's and 70's you were dependent on what radio stations played for music exposure. If you wanted new music you had to buy it to listen to...
