In 1951, it was assumed that when a woman marries, she will become pregnant soon. And get pregnant every 2 or 3 years after that, and stay home with the children. IBM saw the writing on the wall, and weighed the cost of training new workers against the benefit of that year or two they could work a woman after she married. Also, they could pay a woman a LOT less than a man and no one batted an eye, because that's the way things were. They weren't being particularly progressive.

Next: to find why they like to lie in the exact place I want to put my legs in the bed.

BBC says his identity has been confirmed by DNA. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-21063882

I dunno about the name. They sound like they'd be a lot better than Twinkies!

I surely thought that someone would have left a complaint about New Yorkers by now!

The door swings both ways. Some entertainment experiences you just want to go on and on. Then there is beauty in brevity. The artwork Sweet Halloween Dreams tells what it needs to say in one scene, and I have a hard time believing they can stretch it to feature film length and keep the quality. On the other hand, I didn't think they could do that with Alive in Joberg, either, but I was wrong. Then there's the Clydesdale ad for the Super Bowl, which is a master work of cinematography. Every shot lasts about one second, and every shot has the exact thing needed to advance the plot. The time restriction enforced the quality. It could have been a great five-minute story, too, but stretching it to two hours would be totally unnecessary.

It is extremely hard for kids to get work these days. Newspaper delivery is a coveted job among adults with cars and families to support. There are crews with tons of equipment that go through neighborhoods mowing lawns in no time for $10 in the summer. And fast food outlets have their choice of adults who don't have to be scheduled around school. A kid has to be a real go-getter to compete. One of my kids had to become an entrepreneur to make any money, but she is not only earning, but learning. This particular kid will have to be forced into make work with someone who will supervise him every step of the way. Like the judge, maybe?

I found one that halfway looks like me!

I'll take two! No, wait, I'll just nap in bed.
