Remember shopping pre-Internet? What era/memory in the evolution of shopping do you think of most fondly?

Have been a catalog shopper for so many years I cant remember when it started. Used to have to call in an order from a catalog, now it is the net. And, with the net, an order can be tracked and comments about the merchandise posted. Now I go to the mall for Trader Joes, Bed, Bath and Beyond and the book stores.

Political Cover Stars? Spare Me! by Mr. wOw

Maggie, I agree. The flag used so casually is more offensive to me than Sarah in the pix. She looks good so she posed, so it goes.

The Palin Book, as Dear Margo Sees It

It amazes me that this person stays in the news as much as she does. Her experience in the political arena is very local and she seems like a good soccer mom and that is about it. It scares me to think people would think of her for presidential material. We are talking about dealing with WORLD leaders and problems here not getting the kids to their venues on time. She admits she didnt know her daughter was fooling around. Well, then, what if someone sneaks in a nuclear attack or something. Oooops, doesnt cut it.

Caption This!

Someone I knew used to use the phrase Wreck of the Hesperus all the time. To see it again brought back all kinds of memories. When he used it, it usually applied to my disheveled appearance after a day out in the wind.

Lorraine, have you seen my new toy boy? Yes, and good for you ducks.

Mr. wOw's Love Affair With George Clooney

Mr. Wow mentions that in the movie staring at the goats kills them. Wonder why they went that far as there are goats that pass out when frightened but quickly recover. So I guess to make it real they used this strain of goats. However, if George stared at me I would be rendered speechless but that is about all I would be. Mostly because the likelihood of that happening would be so astronomical my mind couldnt grasp it. Ha

Playing Pretend With Whoopi Goldberg

Heres hoping you make whoopie on your birthday. Hope you stay on the View for a long time. Have a great year.

Where Is Whoopi Goldberg's 'Thinking' Room?

Do my best thinking when I am up at 3 a.m. sitting in the living room, listening to the train whistles that I cant hear during the day. The total quiet otherwise, makes reflection an easy task.

It's the Abortion Issue, Stupid, by Mr. wOw

The only trouble I have with the abortion debate is the fact that once the children are here and people say, just give them up for adoption, dont think about the fact that a lot of these children might NOT be adopted. Some people still dont want mixed race children or children of drug addicts or kids from alcoholic parents. These kids, through no fault of their own, may be screwed up for life and find it difficult to cope.

We love shows where a family adopts children with handicaps but there arent enough so now we have a whole new problem. That is why I dont judge a woman to her right to choose. Yes, prevention is the answer but if you have an uneducated, impaired woman having a child all that happens is continuation of an existing problem. That doesnt solve anything either.

The unemployment rate is at a 26-year high. What's the longest stretch you've gone unemployed? How did you eventually find work?

When I needed a job I would go to an employment agency, they would send me out on interviews and I would get a job. Thank goodness I was working in that era. Whatever happened to employment agencies? They were great. They had the contacts and screened the applicants, helped with resumes and off you went.

Candice Bergen: An 'Adohr Gal'

Some things never change. So they went from horses to ratty, old trucks. That is progress for you. Here in California, we have centers that WE have to take the stuff to.

We also had coal delivered, in summer because it was cheaper, and it was dumped on our front lawn and some poor guy had to shovel it through the basement window and we would shovel it into the space that held the coal for winter.

Candice Bergen: An 'Adohr Gal'

I come from Chicago too and I remember the knife sharpener and the milkman and the hot dog man who pushed his cart around the neighborhood. I also remember the junk man, who, with his horse-drawn wagon would go down the alleys behind the garages and pick up old furniture and stuff cluttering up the garages.
