what a coincidence...^^
I was admitted to the Hospital this weekend and watched old Hawaii 50 reruns with McGarret
Havent seen them since the mid 70s...
Yup, METV...the commercials are depressing though, Medicare, metamucil, low cost cell phones, hearing aids etc.
I record them, then fast forward.
That's probably because those shows were popular when the majority of their viewing audience was still young. Now that baby boomers are retired or soon to be retired, most of the commercials will be for products that usually only old folks would be interested in buying. During the daytime, most of the young folks are either at work or at school, so a good portion of the METV audience will be retirees and shut-ins.
We baby boomers were lucky. The best and most original tv shows were made during the baby boom years of the 50's, 60's and 70's.
I'm fine Ivory...thanks for the get well wishes...it was a stomach virus they admitted me because of dehydration..I spent a day and two nights in Hospital.
Yeah, I think your whole 'baby boomer' theory is spot on.
cheers,
magoo
It's much easier for homeless people there than somewhere like North Dakota that gets very cold winters. At least they are not freezing to death in the winter.
Probably not that much different than how poor people live in NYC, LA, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, etc. etc.
Likely a combination of hard work (multiple jobs, long/undesirable hours), charity/welfare from private and public organizations, shared spaces, limited food/housing/recreational activities, limited free time, and chronic financial stress month to month.
All true and you have multi-family's living in the same home, because alone they cannot afford paying house payments. But all together they can afford to pay the expenses.
All that and strong family ties ... typically more supportive than mainland families.
Hawaiians are pacific islanders and many people tend to live with their families until they can really support themselves and their own family. A group is beneficial too as they tend to help one another.
