If only we(men) had(portable) video cameras back then..
Well I guess it worked women seem to be too liberated sometimes though I am sure some might argue we are not liberated enough. I have heard in some cultures when women are fighting for equality they take all their clothes off in protest. I wish u had a video camera too, not for the same reasons u wish of course but to witness the resolve of these women paving the way.

We had Mark and Janet. And it's funny about your profile name, I think it was this same series that would use the term "lark" or "meadowlark," and I had never heard of that bird.

I'm so old I remember there were Boer war vets in My grandfather's Legion Hall. The majority of the members were WW1 vets and the WW2 vets were the young guys. I don't think there was any Korean vets. All the local boys who went didn't come back.

I wanted Meadowlark for my profile name but it was taken . We have lots of the birds around our house which was why I wanted that name.

AC was once considered a luxury, not a necessity.

my college dorm in west texas had no AC, and we just put up with it. today, i suspect that most students would flat-out refuse to live in it.
