I just watched “American Experience: the Poison Squad”
This is interesting, it’s discussing the events and people, specifically Dr. Harvey Wiley, that led to the consumer protection agency and the FDA….. Wiley was a medical doctor who focused on social justice in the days of laissez-faire food production in the 1800’s. He believed big business was poisoning the public with various additives in […]
I just watched “A Very British Romance with Lucy Worsley” on PBS
Why? Because I love history, I watch anything Lucy Worsley puts out and it’s almost Valentine’s Day. 😀 I’m watching it on the PBS app… They are playing episode two on Sunday.. This was actually put out a few years ago… sometimes you can find Lucy Worsley on Youtube.
I just watched “Life in Victorian Britain” on YouTube.
I’ve always been fascinated with the 1700’s and 1800’s. The era of gas lights, horse and buggies and so much more. I’ve been watching a lot of history related documentaries lately… mainly of the American and British sort. This one is not disappointing… I just wish I didn’t feel so guilty for watching television and […]

I just watched “If You Only Knew: Nick Lachey” on YouTubeComments: I thought it was neat when he was asked what’s the biggest risk he ever took.. and it was when he drove to Los Angeles and has LeBaron.. He struggled for a while and did not know what to expect once he got there. […]

I just watched “The Jonathan Ross Show – Bryan Adams Interview and performing live – 2nd March 2019” on Youtube
I love watching interviews. This is one Jonathan Ross did with Bryan Adams. The first concert I had ever gone to was when he opened for Tina Turner at one of her concerts. My dad took my brothers and I… He’s a really neat guy, learned a couple of things I didn’t know about him. […]
I just read “Shannen Doherty shares she has stage 4 breast cancer: ‘I’d rather people hear it from me'”
This really touched me. I always liked Shannen Doherty, there’s something about her, her energy or something.. plus of course she was a good actress. It’s so scary, her and Luke are in the same generation as me. I just can’t get over that she now has a terminal illness and Luke is now gone. […]
I’m Watching “Hidden Killers of the Post War Home”
One of my favorite historians, Suzannah Lipscomb, presents this series. This is the kind of stuff that can happen when regulations are weak or non-existent…
I Just Listened to “Mother Documents Last Months of Her Life” on NPR
I just listened to this on NPR and found on it on their website. It’s about a mother who blogged before she died so she would have something to give her kids. It really touched me. She didn’t seem afraid of death though and at one point she said she hopes that in death she […]
