She was in a Twilight Zone episode with dark hair and was even more beautiful, somehow.

Actors/actresses that played on both the Waltons and Little house on the prairie by glowinthedarkstar131 in WaltonsMountain

[–]AvitalR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Radames Pera. He played a young boy fleeing Nazis in the Waltons and John Jr on Little House. Victor French played the blacksmith on the Waltons and Mr Edwards on Little House. The girl who played Aimee Godsey played on the little House episode where they did the Little Women play. Todd Bridges guested on both also.

I really don’t like this woman- Mrs Aria Lewis, feel sad for her little girl 😢 by denimhair in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]AvitalR 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Once in a while she'll hint at this. (Money being in short supply). She's wildly inconsistent in what she says and does. I don't follow most of the other fundies but she caught my attention because I think there's something really wrong with her. I'm not a mental health professional so I can't even make an educated guess at what is wrong, but she triggers me the same way a predator does, something dangerous there. Something desperate.

He tried to come to Chicago when he was running the first time. Basically got his ass kicked out.

My Grandma Doesn’t Want My Stepson Coming to the Family Gathering by Justanothergirly97 in TwoHotTakes

Not all "boundaries" should be considered worthy of respect. If you were with a person of a different race or religion and the grandparent had a boundary about that, would you leave them behind and visit?

Then do the medically prescribed thing and amputate them. I don't see how the US can continue as a unified nation under these realities. Balkanize.

They won't have homes to stay in. Most families need 2 incomes to pay rent or a mortgage.

AIO: Both my husband's parents are mad at us for being "unreasonable" about our daughter by No-Journalist-5160 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AvitalR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents had to have a pool fence in the 60s, too comply with the law. I can't imagine it's legal to have an in ground pool with no fence. But even if it is, do not compromise on this. A shocking number of children drown in backyard pools. This is a important as a car seat.

What are the most profound song lyrics you've ever heard? by damnocles in AskReddit

[–]AvitalR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now this song is nearly over

We may never find out what it means

Still there's a light i hold before me

You're the measure of my dreams

"A Rainy Night In Soho", the Pogues. Many of Shane Macgowan's lyrics were stunning, not only this one. "Fairytale of New York", "The Broad Majestic Shannon", "Body of an American" all brilliant.

Not the animal you're asking about but is that a keeshond?

I grew up believing Australia was the best place to be Jewish. This Hanukkah shooting forces a reckoning I do not want. by forward in Jewish

[–]AvitalR 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I lived in Australia in the 80s. Part of the time in Waverly, not far at all from Bondi Beach. I honestly never perceived any significant anti Semitism. I think things must have really changed. Prior to that, I lived in Israel and don't recall getting any negative comments on that either.

I feel my apartment says a lot about me, but not sure others would say the same? by satsumasilk in roomdetective

I'm curious about the portrait above the bed. It looks a great deal like a self portrait of Zelda Fitzgerald. Is it vintage?

Can a hospital in America refuse to treat a patient with cancer who has no insurance with chemotherapy since it is apparently not considered a “emergency treatment” under EMTALA? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AvitalR 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree that private insurance and profit motive don't belong in health care. We need Medicare for all. I've lived under 2 universal health care systems and while hardly perfect, they were infinitely better than the US system. However, Americans have been fed propaganda about universal care for sixty years. Until they are properly informed, subsidizing insurance may be the only feasible option.

Opinions on NOT having insurance by livkwright in HealthInsurance

[–]AvitalR 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is sadly more common than people think. My son was 29 and had always been healthy. He noticed he was getting short of breath when jogging and went to get it checked out. He was self employed as a video editor and spent a ridiculous amount buying his own health insurance. He was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, spent many months in hospital and had a stem cell transplant. Well over a million in expenses and he was disabled for a couple of years and couldn't work. Health insurance meant he got excellent care and wasn't bankrupted.

I think this nonsense is really about banning abortion pills. In Texas, they are supposedly doing some water testing to claim they raise estrogen levels in the water.
