| 29049 | Superior Retro Tech/Appliances | I've heard of Kirby, it was a "commercial grade" vacuum cleaner available for home use., and they all look expensive! Upright vacuums are always more complex in design than simpler canister-type vacuum cleaners.<div><br></div><div>I wonder if it was my fascination with grandma's Electrolux that led to my grandparents giving away the vacuum to my parents? We used the Electrolux right up to 1968. It was still working when we gave it to my favorite uncle for a shop vac.</div> | eddstarr | Feb 15, 2016 |  |

Kenny was <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Everywhere</span>! No television and no radio was safe from Mr. Rogers, lol! </span><font face="Arial, Verdana"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">But give him credit, Kenny was so friendly, so funny and so full of life that his enthusiasm seemed to spill over into everything he did. But when <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dottie West</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kenny Rogers</span> were on camera together, it was magic - Laugh Out Loud Magic!

Nasty stuff. The one has been clean 2 years, but her sister has been addicted 15 years now, and unfortunately doesn't want help. It's sad to see. I wish our police would do more, but I'm sure they're doing all they can. It's just frustrating, especially when you see so many people addicted and dying :/ | VillechaizeLove | Feb 15, 2016 | |
| 29044 | The Café | I don't believe that being a great actor is something that just anyone can do. I realize it takes training and that certain "something". But I don't consider acting a "talent". And I certainly don't consider it something that requires a spectacle like the Oscars to celebrate it. To me, it screams, "Look at us!!! Look how great we are!!! Because we can act!!!" But hey, to each his own.<br><br>If they ever air something as grand as the Oscars in celebration of the men and women who have served and are serving in our military, or for the police and firefighters who protect us, then I may tune in for that. <br> | Vaporman87 | Feb 15, 2016 | |
| 29043 | The Café | Don't get Vapor started on One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. He's not a big Jack Nicholson fan. | Mr Magic | Feb 15, 2016 | |
| 29042 | The Café | I disagree about that big time. It's not easy to act believable or at least good in a movie and if you do a great job then should be respected for it. It takes a lot of skill to do something like one flew over the cuckoo's nest and calling it only pretending good is just kind of dumb. Just because it's not hard labor out in the fields or in the hot sun or a coal mine doesn't mean that it should be looked down upon as nothing special. I think that movies/music/entertainment is very important because the world would be so boring without it. <div><br></div><div>I know at the end of the day and in the grand scheme of things or whatever that this stuff isn't the most important thing in the universe and doesn't matter that much to most people but to me, i don't know i just like it a lot. It's just disappointing when people act like it's just some stupid tumbleweed passing by or something.</div> | Jrs1991 | Feb 15, 2016 | |
| 29041 | The Café | I don't know why, but I usually stick around for the Academy Awards every year. Hopefully, a worthy film will win Best Picture this year. Something the general public likes, not just what the actor voters like. | Mr Magic | Feb 15, 2016 | |
