I got rid of cable TV, but found I don't have time to watch much anyway, and I don't want to buy a smart TV. Besides, I pay more for internet access than I ever did for cable TV. My standard flatscreens are in a closet, and I'd get rid of all these cathode ray tube sets if I could lift them. I do subscribe to Philo, but only in those few months that The Walking Dead is on.

What makes you think it was 1943? The intertitle card looks much earlier, and they didn't have many biplanes in operation in 1943.

You're right- I see from the floor plan that bedroom #1 is 6' 2", bedroom #2 is 6', bedroom #3 is 5'10", the reception room (parlor, I guess) is 7'3", and the dining room at one end is 9' 11" wide! It's like a TARDIS -bigger on the inside.

I would love these. They look warm and soft. But I wouldn't spend that much on shoes.

Poki turned out to be more cooperative than I expected. Still not up to the other cats' standards.

I don't get it. 51 views and no one can spare an upvote to get this to the front page?

I'm sure that gator was relieved when the cop left, so he could quit pretending to be a floatie.

At a certain age, a woman gets tired of waiting for Prince Charming to show up.

There will be multiple treasure hunts in each state, so it could be more than that. But winners in each treasure hunt get a $5,000 prize, so there goes 10%.

I think some of those may be because there was no response at all for a state.
