The easiest solution to the voicemail is for Alfie to transfer it to Olympia's phone...after all, he has the passwords. Matty is just a couple of years older than me. We can be very invisible in these situations. I think it's a part of Matty's charm to be able to know this and use it to her advantage.

Kathy Bates...the girl can do anything. This was well written, especially talking about the invisibility of older women. The talk about old TV shows was funny...just plain funny. I'm in her age bracket so my kids & grandkids are the ages of her co-workers...I've been in those discussions. Hopefully she'll share more scenes with Beau Bridges, who is more her contemporary...

Cyril was a civil engineer, working as a mechanic. Civil engineers are university educated...so, to change his career path, he only needed to take the additional courses for a social worker. And it seems, he was doing this with on-the-job-training...very common in the 1960s. It's not a far fetched as it seems.

This is between teacher & student...first. Then Miss Crump should address this with the parent. The teacher can be so helpful in helpful in dealing with upset/disappointed parents.

If I were interviewing for DCC I would know so much about the Cowboys organization I'd know Emmitt Smith's shoesize (12-1/2)...I passed American Gov't in high school, so I know what a political party is, how/when to vote (and why it's my civic responsibility) and how the election process is supposed to work. I'm fairly up on current events by listening to the news...I know how to dress for an interview. It's not rocket science...it's a job interview.

Very sorry to hear this! Been there...tough times. DM me if you need to talk. You must take care of yourself if you are taking care of him

The Darlings appeared in only 5 episodes. Yet they have such a presence throughout the entire series. Charlene was a such a charmer.

Cute idea

Agreed...and we have to keep in mind SMJ has mild dementia, so rendered unable to work consistently, not Alzheimer's (though not named at that point). She has period of great lucidity when pressed. The rest of the time she just lets it all hang out.

This particular group of "hippies" were art students who just wanted to practice their arts without rules or interference...I grew up in the greater San Francisco area and was a teenager in the 60s...I did my time in Golden Gate Park & the Haight/Ashbury...it really wasn't for me. However, I saw so very many things...Moving out squatters always made the local evening news. CMW scenes were a little corny, but not that big of an exaggeration. Some groups were very self centered & selfish and did just exactly what happened in the episode. To them it's just empty space so why can't we be here for free, we're not hurting anyone and you aren't using it. There was a degree of thoughtlessness & carelessness as well as entitlement. Susie wasn't safe there, I saw that right away... I have enjoyed Cyril & Lucille. Both have rather 'private' personalities and personal expectations...good to see them become more emotionally open & available to each other...they will heal more quickly now that they share the burden... The gastroschisis baby was a bit of a surprise, but it's rare, random & congenital, not genetic...A friend's nephew was diagnosed prenatally...at his birth he was treated similarly with the addition of a pressure bandage to position everything correctly to prepare for the surgery a day or two after birth...he's in his teens now and a junior rodeo competitor...

6-pack Lauren was a floor nurse in a hospital, I think in CCU. She took a leave during training camp.

In that respect Kelli was being unkind to Dayton. That said, Dayton isn't a quick study so quickly got behind in the choreography coupled with memory mistakes. When 'she's got it', she's really got it...lovely dancer...

Ugh..."Mr. October" my Aunt Fanny...yet they conveniently leave out the '72 post season where he spent the World Series in the dugout on crutches because of a torn hamstring. Oakland won the World Series without him...his title should be "Greatest Hot Dog of All Time"...The '72 series between Oakland & Cincinnati remains one of the best ever played.

Back to the chicken pox...in that era being exposed or doing the exposing was just another day. Parents used to have 'chicken pox parties' around the neighborhood when one kid caught them...so they'd just catch them and be done with it...The Turner kids all having them at once was aggravatingly common. My sister brought all the usual childhood diseases home in kindergarten & first grade so I had everything except one kind of measles before I started school in the late 50s. No one thought a thing about it...When the kid up the street had complications from the measles and subsequently died, we thought it a very rare and tragic thing. His siblings sailed right on thru them.

This is the sequel to "The Trouble With Angels" starring Hayley Mills...and I think The Trouble With Angels the better of the two films...Rosalind Russell is a standout in both...in the first she explains to Hayley Mills why she became a nun when she'd been a seamstress for a famous couturier in Paris with the goal of her own collection...she simply stated "I found something better"...
