I have no doubt that the burgeoning popularity of older TV shows is a direct result of how badly newer shows suck. And those channels aren't just cable either. I only receive non-cable shows, local stations and such, and many of them run shows that you can actually enjoy for their entertainment value and not whether they support your political religion. There's another channel out here that runs all the different versions of "Star Trek" all evening.I watch that every once and awhile. Seems like more and more channels on the cable are popping up that run old shows. Could it be because so much of the new shows suck so bad? Best part about "Blacksheep" is the hot nurses in those flight suits...Oh, way cool!!! I'm watching some old TV show called "Blacksheep". Not only are they flying F4U aircraft, they also have a Grumman Duck! Amazing, all the ways people have invented to get airborne.
Just returned from my labs followup (and a quick trip to Wally World). I'm the one who smokes, used to drink like a fish, ate the most unhealthy foods I could find and did lots of drugs when I was much younger and I'm healthy as a horse as the saying goes........
I'm still a tad gobsmacked reading it. People are nice to me here, yes. But nobody has ever said what she said. It was more personal. And boy did I need to hear it. However, I find myself still a smidge grumpy, lol.
Yup!Oh, way cool!!! I'm watching some old TV show called "Blacksheep". Not only are they flying F4U aircraft, they also have a Grumman Duck! Amazing, all the ways people have invented to get airborne.
Would that be the old "Black Sheep Squadron" series? I used to love that. Hadn't thought about it in decades.
I see it from a different perspective since I've been an aircraft mechanic,though.I used to like watching Baa Baa Black Sheep but found the dogfight scenes frustrating. The old T-6s they modified to be the "Zeros" could barely tickle 200 knots in a screaming dive. Same as the camera planes filming. The Corsairs we hanging on their props trying to fly that slow and thus appeared so sluggish.
All good shows available on channels like MeTV and ANT TV, among others that feature older shows. I like WKRP Cincinnati.I record all the Hogan's Heros, McCale's Navy, Xena Warrior Princess, I Dream Of Geanie... problem is I'm running into seeing them before now.
They're still fun to watch. The McCale's Navy just absolutely cracks me up.
Some folks up here use it late winter to help fight cabin fever.One of our nearby towns has a registered homeopathic expert (I don't know what they're called, but he's good) and advised me to take an amino acid called tryptophan after my husband passed and I was feeling a little low. I really don't know much, except that at least I could get up and do things. Since it's a supplement, I take it with my vitamins, and it's just nice, makes your outlook a little more settled. It's not a cure for mourning or unhappiness, but somehow, when I started taking it, my mind would select the happy times and memories, not doubts or disappointments. I have no idea, Gracie, but sometimes if I go for 3 or 4 days, I'm not immune to feeling down, so I restart, and within a couple of hours, I'm back in the world of the busy living, even if it's only sticking with a quilt till it's done, and actually enjoying being by myself rather than wishing for company too much. I'm just sharing, and hoping you find a way to look on the sunny side and realize, that although I missed 4 years being here, I remember you being one of the sunniest posters here most of the time, but I didn't know if you appreciated how the boards are a little brighter when you're around, although I could surely say the same about Foxy. You make being here a little more fun, that's all, and I'd like to see you appreciating yourself for knowing that.Feeling a bit like how Manonthestreet is feeling. Been that way awhile now but it all came to a head yesterday. I miss my dogs. I miss my life and what it used to be. I miss my stuff I had to sell. I miss it all. Who woulda thunk that could happen to me, who had everything planned and set for old age nice and comfy? I thought wrong thinking I was set and all would be well. And it still hasn't ended, nor will end anytime soon I guess. So..I stay either grumpy or numb or both. But at least I lanced some of the depression yesterday in the fur of housemates golden retriever, Casey. He was very obliging getting all wet from tears.
Tryptophan is indeed beneficial, not as a cure all for anything, but for most people it does help with attitude adjustment/mild depression. I am rarely depressed, but in the rare occasions when I am unusually stressed and as a result suffer reactive depression, it does help to cope and deal with things more positively.
Heck, I even like the grumpy Gracie.I'm still a tad gobsmacked reading it. People are nice to me here, yes. But nobody has ever said what she said. It was more personal. And boy did I need to hear it. However, I find myself still a smidge grumpy, lol.
Well your ungrumpified self is pretty nice to have around. And since we all have our grumpy days--it is simply a fact of life--we're happy to see you through yours too.
Speaking of which, I never knew there was a name for it, but they call it SAD... Seasonal Affective Disorder. I usually get it pretty bad, and I think I might try one of these...Some folks up here use it late winter to help fight cabin fever.One of our nearby towns has a registered homeopathic expert (I don't know what they're called, but he's good) and advised me to take an amino acid called tryptophan after my husband passed and I was feeling a little low.
