That is so sad.

Can’t you bring in old Christmas movies for her to watch, like “Miracle on 34th Street” and “Meet Me in St. Louis”?

We watch the Great American Family movies through our Fubo subscription. Also, I just discovered the Fubo movie channel and their movies (so far) have been family friendly.

Hallmark sucks.

Yes but I tell them they’ll be beaten until morale improves.

I think you can download it from Amazon - if you have a Firestick? We have Roku. We got it direct and paid for a year. The discount amounted to 2 months.

I understand that, but for $9 a month Frndly gives us 40 live channels - no MTV; recording ability, 2 devices, replay ... It’s worth it to have ads included.

AND, I’m able to watch Oak Island again after 5 years. It was very exciting to watch the newest episode the other night and guess what they found?!! PIECES OF IRON AND WOOD!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!! %-)

This incident was in 2018. She passed in 2019.

I didn’t think it was sad. I thought it funny. At least she had me there three/four times a week.

This is absurd. Hallmark has always been a safe place for homosexual artists to get hired, live unremarkable lives with a good job and have a decent career. It didn’t take any change in movies they made to make that so. The corporate office in Kansas City has hired straight and homosexual artists without regard to what they prefer to do with their genitalia. I have seen them do it without any big whoop by anyone.

If you view of the world in genitalia-centric it is bound to be confused. If you want to know if commercial artists can get work if homosexual the answer has been yes for the last 60 years in Kansas City as far as the people I have seen.

Why is one point of view “controversial” and others not???

Because those making such statements do not really believe in
“diversity” which cannot be true diversity if it is not viewpoint diversity as well as diversity of values.

Exactly

That’s a good way to look at it.

That was a lot of visits.

Some parents in care homes don’t get that many visits in a year.

May she rest in peace.

My wife asked me to cancel Hallmark and add GAF. She is very happy with the change.
