Your mention of the TV Guide took me back to days when I too would peruse it cover to cover to see where my only connection to the actual big bad world would take me over the next week via 3 whole channels, 4 if we adjusted the rabbit ears just right and jammed a pack of matches into the tuning knob to keep it from drifting.
But my parents never gave me stick to play with. I had to find my own!
Along the lines of the old-commercial chestnut, "it's not nice to fool Mother Nature," I am proud to learn that when you recycle a column, you do not recycle the comments... because it's not nice. Bless your heart.
Hahaha...I can relate to TV Guide, 4 channels (including Propaganda Broadcasting Station) and maybe 5 if I took the tinfoil off my dad's head and wrapped it around the rabbit ears. Little did I know my dad would turn out to be right about ALL OF IT and he has been gone for 20 years.
I loved it when Willy Wonka managed to beat down all of those brats and Charlie and Uncle Joe got the elevator.
As far as that horrid WW experience that made national news? Who EVER goes first? Read the reviews. If there is one thing people love to do, it is give their opinion on everything. Just look at how Americans are losing their minds about no more transgender operas in Guatemala. Dang...there goes my vacation plans.
We had 4, sort of. ABC, CBS, NBC, and KIKU. The latter seemed to alternate between Japanese and Filipino language programming - neither of which anyone in my family spoke. Good times!
the WWE looks like what some of these NGO's under USAID probably look like that are receiving 100's of millions to billions of dollars...this is what I imagine them to be, lol
THERE ARE NO LOCKSMITHS--OF ANY SORT--AND CERTAINLY NO ONE AMONG THE VISITORS WHO KNOWS HOW TO PICK A STANDARD RESTROOM LOCK--ANYWHERE NEAR YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK!!!!!!! DON'T LOCK YOUR DOORS!!! YOU'LL BE LOCKED IN--UNTIL A DEMOCRAT RETURNS TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!! SO. FOREVER!!!!! RUN AWAY!! RUN AWAY!!
IF THE OFFICE STAFF MISPLACE ALL THEIR KEYS, YOSEMITE WILL BE CLOSED INDEFINITELY!!!!!
(I apologize for screaming Kendon Curtis; horrific terrors carried me away.)
I found this to be well written and on point. The media is like the science bought, and paid for by corporations.
Still good to hear that poison pill with some humorous antidotes to wash it down with.
Not every story is original however nowadays they all seem to have one thing in common, and thatβs why if it deviates from the corporate narrative you will have the corporate trolling to try to stop the reach ! Donβt be discouraged by that voice of those who scream the loudest just remember where the screaming comes from!
Excellent juxtapositioning Jenna! Fortunately, I think there are too many other sources not being censored anymore where you can sort truth from BS or outright lies.
Those pics are outrageous!

As I read, I find myself wondering, "How was Wonka's Chocolate Experience any different from the average Adam Sandler movie, but no one ever calls the police after walking out of one of those?" And "Hey, that marketing hype for WCE pretty much captures my expectations for the Donald's 'Trump' Experience!" (If he doesn't deliver on HIS hype, I'll be wanting even the tax money HE collects back. And finally, I was remembering that as kids we had to take turns manning the television round-the-clock (there were over a dozen of us) watching for news of the imminent return of ππ©π¦ ππͺπ»π»π¦π³ ππ©π¦ ππ°π» (as my brother heard it) because our folks wouldn't spring for TΝVΝ ΝGΝuΝiΝdΝeΝ.
Keep beating the dead horse Jenna , we love it . Safe travels!ππΌπ₯π₯³
Our local newspaper carried all the upcoming weekβs tv programming, so my parents didnβt have to buy TV Guide.
Yes, but by the time your parents put the paper out by the curb, the TV information was too stale for us to use.
On a grand scale, this post is analogous to what we were told versus what we experienced during the O'Biden administrations.
βHereβs a stick. Go outside and play with it.β
Enjoy your precious time with family. In my book, you earned it with the line above.
PS You were kinda spoiled. We had to find our own sticks.

Same. Jenna is SO entitled! π

Maybe we should set up a GOFUNDTHEY.

I am happily married and have a wife, but I can say I love your writing!
Iβll allow it! ππ
And the X-Ray glasses never worked either
Until the TSA creepshow...

Be careful in California. Look what's going on out there:
Michael Englander:
#trumpβs team has fired the only locksmith at #Yosemite, whose job includes βrescuing visitors
from locked restrooms.β Let that sink in. The thought of a #MAGAt being locked in a restroom,
unable to get out, is giving me a schadenfreude orgasm.
You could be left to die in a restroom. Because Trump.

I remember this gem! Have a great time in Commefornia!
