Back in the 60s you couldn't show a woman's navel on TV.  So they dressed Jeannie like this...







Every so often, however, we caught a glimpse of it...










Somehow these navels weren't censored...

It's no fair! While you guys read this topic and think all those happy guy thoughts I'm stuck with this in my head, especially "but she couldn't show her belly button; all she did was blink":

Yes. The show lacked character development, incisive dialogue and dramatic tension. However it had a semi naked Barbara Eden.  icon_good

I didn't know I was compared to Elizabeth Montgomery, but I think that I'm in very good company with her

If you look to your left, ladies and gentlemen, the view is not very inspiring.  Ahhh, but if you look to your right…

I love these videos, Barry! I must have missed this when you posted it. Before I got distracted looking to my right I was going to say that things sure have changed in my 30 years as a homeowner. It used to be that if an appliance didn't work I called the folks at the repair shop a few miles down the road and they'd come fix it. The month old microwave isn't heating food so I had to talk to someone in the Dominican Rebuplic, spend about 10 minutes on diagnostics to prove it isn't working, get a ticket number and wait to find out that someone at the repair shop a few miles down the road would come fix it. (Or more likely recommend replacement.)  ;D But it was okay...the young man on the phone was quite nice and wanted to know all about the weather in New York. He'd heard about last week's storm. LOL

I think most electrical things now are chuck and replace. In most instances they've come so far down in price that it's cheaper to buy another one than even pay the minimum labor charge to just look to see if anything can be done. When I was a lad there was a shop near us filled with tvs that were being fixed. And I recall a couple of instances of the tvs repairman coming out to look at our tv. It seems now if the rare event happens that your tv doesn't work then its most likely unrepairable anyway.

Right. This thing is under warranty so I think the serviceman is just coming to act as coroner. But I must be a real glutton for punishment as I just now got off the phone with the cable tv company. I wanted to get the bill down, which I did, but since a new company is transitioning in here it was a very confusing experience. I guess I'll know what channels  I have when I connect the new boxes!

 ha2ha Sounds like you survived, though, Kelley! I had to deal with our cable company several months ago, and it was NOT fun. Think several phone calls and at least two service visits.

Got my taxes done, woot woot! I'm getting a decent-sized refund, which I want to put toward a trip to the ocean with the kids. I haven't seen the ocean in years. We went to a different Atlantic beach every year when I was a kid, and before the divorce.

I should probably do something sensible [read: boring] with the money, like pay down my credit card or put it into my retirement fund <yawn>. But I'd rather have a beach vacation.   :-\

I did! They actually repaired the microwave instead of just replacing it and the cable bill is down 60 bucks! Plus, we are now on the new, faster Internet with a new router and modem. I can finally use my iPad frustration-free to go online. So the phone torture was worth it. LOL

Congrats on the nice refund! If it's federal, you probably will get it pretty quickly. We owe on that one but the kids have their refunds already. I think you should definitely opt for the ocean. After all...

The beach is a place where a man girl can feel
She's the only soul in the world that's real

Wow! I'm going to have to contact you individually to find out how you did that. My cable bill is outrageous; I'm tempted to get rid of cable altogether.

Awwww.....you remembered!  :)  I think I might opt for the beach and try to keep costs to a minimum. I figure this might be one of the last summers that all the kids will be home; next year my elder daughter likely will stay at UND through the summer, I think.
