Well... my bother in law's best friend just died Monday night. Big Trump lover, posted memes over Thanksgiving saying that he was not going to be afraid to live his life. Looks he didn't make it till Christmas, I wonder if he felt regret when they put the intubation tube in, and then had to lay there and suffer for 12 days until he finally expired. What a complete dumbass. And I wonder how many other people he infected when he first came down with it?

It's shaping up to be like...well, like a very special episode of "Growing Pains."

Oh, to be a kid growing up in the 1980s again. Can we go back- right now???

Sadly, it seems that Kirk Cameron was alienating people as far back as the late 80s/early 90s. When he became born-again, he seemed to separate himself from his fellow cast members and began to regard the show as if it were beneath him, from what I saw on the E! True Hollywood Story. A former girlfriend of his who had done some appearances on the show pretty much said he dumped her once he became born-again because she had once posed for Playboy. You can be a Christian without being a jerk but Kirk seems to have only become more obnoxious as the years go by.

God bless Tracey Gold, who has maintained her sense of humanity, not to mention, patience. She demonstrated a lot of restraint in her remarks.

Kirk let the screaming girls and the appearances on the covers of teen magazines get to his head. He comes off as something of a narcissist.

It's sad I had a crush on Kirk back in the day. It was Julie McCoulgh he was dating. She was a model. I do recall that Julie was suppose to become a regular on Growing Pains until Kirk got her fired due to his beliefs.

The 80s were great!  Except for the AIDS epidemic. Life was simpler. The only girl you had a crush on dumped you on Homecoming to go with another.  Yet you go to homecoming with another guy only to catch the girl you asked to homecoming red handed with another guy.  Good Times...

I'm not so sure we SHOULD return to the '80's.  Large swaths of this country, including blue-collar workers and the LGBTQ community, suffered a ton during the Reagan era, which was definitely all about making the rich richer and keeping the poor in the poorhouse.  The only difference between then and now, quite frankly, is that the '80's had Aqua Net and shoulder pads.

Black people (who l must remind myself can also fall within the ranks of blue-collar workers) also caught hell (despite what we saw on 'The Cosby Show').  As a little girl, I remember family members who were often being laid off from their jobs. They were fortunate to return to work eventually but that type of financial instability took a toll. Most were never able to amass the amount and type of savings that they could/should have, if only their jobs were more secure (and paid better).

I would time travel back, but I certainly wouldn't make anyone else live through it again. I think I'd be happier without the matrix (cellphones, social media). Then again, who knows? I've changed so much it might be unbearable.
