I Just Watched “Colonel Sanders 1979 Interview” on YouTube

Colonel Sanders was born in 1890…and didn’t find success until after he was 65 years old…. He said at one point “I think the moral of my story is.. don’t quit at age 65… Maybe your ship just hasn’t come in yet…” He’s one of many that I have found who found success later in life… Success can be found anywhere at anytime and at any age in many forms…. It doesn’t always have to be in business...

I Just Watched “Behind the Music 1994 (2001)”

I just watched “Behind the Music 1994 (2001)” According to this documentary, Grunge (alternative music) stopped being popular in 1994 after Kurt Cobain died. I was working for Mr. Thomas that year, starting in the summer. Gosh, those were the days. I was living with Nanny and Papa Pierce still. I would be there another four years. I moved into the West Virginia building in the spring of 1998.. It makes me sad thinking about it. Curt Cobain...

Saving over $2200 – Trying Out T-Mobile Home Internet Part 2

I installed the T-Mobile home internet. It took about twenty five minutes. When I first plugged it in I got discouraged because it did not “light up”.  It was not until I pressed the middle button on the front that it came alive. I was afraid I got a dud. I’m glad I didn’t choose the option to pay for express shipping… Because it got here two days after I ordered the service. Plus I didn’t have to...

Trying Out T-Mobile Home Internet Part 1

I love T-Mobile. I have them for mobile service and it’s the best service I’ve had in the 20+ years I’ve had a cell phone… The screenshot below displays the speeds I’m getting with 5G on my Galaxy Note 20. I’ve been growing quite tired of Comcast’s never ending, increasing and oppressive fees… so when I saw an ad for T-Mobile Home Internet, I jumped in the prospect and decided to look into it… So I ordered T-Mobile...

I Just Watched “A Visit to Charleston Town Center (Feat. Macy’s)” on YouTube

I just watched this YouTube video on the Charleston Town Center… I remember taking the girls in there shopping… It was such a big deal for us. It’s making me sad thinking about it. I’m not sure how long the town center mall will hang on… I think even JCP is gone now.. I also watched another video that did a walkthrough at the town center on Christmas. It was very erry feeling… I’m not sure what they...

I Just Watched “The Century: America’s Time – 1936-1941: Over The Edge”

I’m watching a 14 part series titled “The Century: America’s Time” that originally aired in April of 1999. I added the series to my watch list in July of this past year. Luckily, I was able to find it on YouTube, most of the episodes are in there. One mam who was interviewed especially intrigued me, his name was Henry Metelmann, he died in 2011… He was on another BBC 2 Timewatch documentary titled “Through Hell for Hitler”....

I Just Watched “Concorde A Supersonic Story (BBC 2017). Iconic Airplanes In History”

I really enjoyed this… At one point Joan Collins was interviewed…. along with several flight attendants, pilots, people who worked on building it and even passengers… They only had one profitable route, New York to London… so they started chartering the plane out….There were people who profited from selling day excursions to exotic places. When the Concorde crashed in 2000, it was a chartered flight headed for a cruise. The last flight was in 2003. One of the...
