There are several things I did not know about Ford. He didn’t have major success until he was 40. Model T’s got to the point where they could be made in 93 hours. He had a lot of trouble finding permanent, long term workers. The turnover rate got so high that he had to…
This came out in 1994 on the “Biography” Channel. I did not know much about Elanor Roosevelt until I watched this… She lived a separate life from her husband and let him be with his long term mistress. She was a devoted social advocate who rallied for John F. Kennedy before she died. I…
I watched this yesterday…It was from a European perspective, meaning the producer who made the documentary was based in Europe. It featured several families with children who were living out of weekly rental hotels. It was heart breaking to watch. Most of the people interviewed were in their 40’s and 50’s with several children.…
This is a Canadian show titled “Marketplace” where they act as a consumer advocate for people who have issues with companies. I didn’t realize Best Buy had a marketplace with 3rd party sellers… I’ve seen that they offered refurbished units, but like the all of the people interviewed, it wasn’t clear it wasn’t actually…
I’m really liking 5G, this is why it will be a game changer in the years to come… The lowest it’s been so far is 44…. I remember fantasizing as a kid running my bbs from a cell phone, as they called it then. My grandparents didnt like the idea of having a 2nd…
I finished watching “Audrey Hepburn: Film and Fashion Icon’ a few hours ago… I didn’t realize she died in her 60’s in Jan 1993.. I must have gotten her mixed up with someone else. I also didn’t realize she was born in Belgium and was a British citizen. Near the end of the documentary,…
I just finished watching this on YouTube. She was 39 when she disappeared… she was declared dead in absentia on Jan 5, 1941. I wonder what she would think of the world today… or even in the 40’s and 50’s… a lot was going on in those decades as well. Her sister was interviewed…
One of the people interviewed said the chances that Queen Elizabeth would be queen would be similar to Princess Beatrice becoming Queen today, it’s unlikely. She, nor her father for that matter, expected to become the King or Queen…. As we know, it wasn’t until his brother’s abdication that paved the way for Elizabeth…
This is what I doing on a Friday night. Watching Documentaries…. 😀
