Well, I have a V C R
and I see most all of mine there.
What have you seen recently that you enjoyed?
Uh, I don't know, um,
actually earlier tonight we were watching TO LIVE AND DIE IN L A.
Have you seen that movie?
No,
I haven't.
It's a kind of one of those psycho ones.
Now, I, I live alone.
Consequently, I don't like ... |
Have you seen the movie CLASS ACTION with Gene Hackman?
Uh, no,
I haven't yet.
I saw it this weekend
and it is, uh, to me an outstanding movie.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
He is, uh, an attorney and his daughter is an attorney
and she has a suit against his company.
You know, it's one of those things.
Yeah,
that,
But ther... |
I've seen HOOSIERS.
Saw it just again the other night, for,
Yeah,
actually I, we saw her just the other night too.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
It's one of our favorite movies.
I, I live with, um, a roommate and my girlfriend the three of us.
We've seen that movie probably six times in the last six months.
Have you seen the movi... |
In New Hampshire.
All right.
I work in Massachusetts actually.
Oh, all right.
Okay.
So is everything going all right up there?
Um, it's only about, um, half an hour.
I live on the border.
Oh, well that's that bad then.
Half an hour, we do that just going to downtown Dallas.
That's right.
So,
See we live up in tax free ... |
It's, I don't know, fifteen minutes from the border and five minutes from the main border. *main = Maine?
We live right in the corner.
Oh.
That one little spot in New Hampshire, we have ten miles of coastline,
I live on one of that little ten mile spot.
Uh, sounds wonderful.
Did you have damage this year with hurricane... |
No,
I haven't seen that one.
That's a real warm movie.
It, it really just turned out nicely.
So I would recommend that if you have a chance.
I'm in for it.
We rent a lot of movies
so we, we often sit around and say, what movies should we rent?
And we don't know.
Well if you, if you can get GREEN CARD, go for it.
All ri... |
But I hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
You too.
I'm looking forward to it.
I think we're going to have a white Christmas up here just like the song says.
Well,
Uh, well, uh, to begin,
I guess, uh, space is, uh, real important, I think,
so it's real vital to the future of not only our kids but every generation unti... |
Yeah.
So what do you know about it.
Well, actually I'm, I, I'm quite versed lately.
I get on a computer network all the time,
and people are talking about, about the current space program all the time.
They're talking about new rockets that they're designing now that, you know, are just like science fiction, you know,
... |
I think that'd be neat.
I think I would just sitting here talking about it,
but if the time came, it'd be real nervous.
I'd be scared,
scared me worse than Six Flags roller coaster.
That'd be pretty hairy.
Well, you know, I had a car, uh, uh, a tire come off of a car,
so you know, I, like I know what it's like to
Yeah,... |
Yeah,
and they're going to put,
That's all beyond my imagination really.
Yeah.
But, science fiction books,
I mean, you look at the Jetsons, you know, cartoon show, and it's not too far fetched what, what they all had in those cartoons,
so you never know.
Oh, yeah,
yeah.
Any of that stuff from the Jetsons, from that car... |
I, uh,
it's, it's, it's something definitely that, uh, you know,
it's, it's, uh, got the extra little oomph of interest.
Yeah.
Uh.
I'm sure it'll draw a lot more interest too, once it becomes, you know, like it's more possible,
but when they start showing the drawings and all that, I'm sure, you know, when they,
Yeah.
... |
Yeah,
but the economy the way it is all over, they probably cut back on on that, because it's not,
Oh, yeah.
Well, they're, they're going to be cutting back so much on just, you know, the number of troops we've got in Europe and the number of troops we have here.
Right.
Yeah,
I know,
and then,
But, uh, Russia's still g... |
Uh-huh.
And now they're saying, Yeah,
yeah,
you're a republic,
you don't want those,
you don't want those.
Some crazy hit man over there so, with those little republics or whatever
they splitting it all up now,
and one of them crazy crazy guys get a hold of it,
Uh-huh.
you never know.
But that, the guy that's taken ove... |
Kiss some butt,
but, but, uh,
Well, Michael, what do you think about, uh, funding for AIDS research?
Do you,
Well, uh, uh, that's something I've thought a lot about.
Uh-huh.
Uh, I, I work in a hospital.
Uh-huh.
And I've worked in the hospital for fifteen years
and I've taken care of a few AIDS patients.
Uh-huh.
Uh, whe... |
I think they're doing the, is as much research as they can possibly do, you know.
Uh-huh.
And, uh, what about you?
Well, I guess I'm not too aware of how much they're spending right now You know.
I'm not either.
I'm definitely not aware of how much.
Yeah.
Uh, that's something I've never really kept up with at all.
Uh-h... |
Yeah.
I mean, I, I can see that research is needed
and, you know,
Oh, yeah.
Definitely.
I think so,
I think so.
I mean it's becoming a major problem.
Yeah.
But, uh. I guess the area that I think more about is I would like to see them focus on, uh, preventing it, uh in more, You know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's true.
That... |
and
That's true,
that's true.
Yeah.
Uh,
And, knowing, you know,
Myself, uh, uh, I'm just recently, or about to, get a divorce
Uh-huh.
and, uh, course, I'm not all ready to just run out there and start dating everybody I can or anything.
Yeah.
But, it's sort of scary to find yourself single again, you know.
Uh-huh.
And,... |
Uh-huh.
and, uh, I mean, it certainly changed my attitude about that in a hurry.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, uh,
I think for a lot of people it has.
Certainly.
So,
Yeah.
So,
But, uh, uh, I know that, uh, in some of these larger cities they're passing out free syringes and all of that sort of thing to prevent, you know, so that, u... |
It just sort of keeps that going.
Yeah.
But, uh, I don't know,
at least drug addiction can be treated whereas AIDS, so far, cannot be. You know,
Uh-huh.
so, I don't know,
that, I think that's,
I'm not too much against the, the passing out of the free syringes myself.
Uh-huh.
I don't know,
what do you think about that? ... |
Uh-huh.
That's true.
That's true.
If they're perpetrating the AIDS problem, passing that on to each other, then you know,
Yeah.
You know, I guess if you consider the two problems, drug addiction and AIDS AIDS would have to come first, I guess, as far as something to, to do about it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
So, so I don't ... |
Uh-huh.
And I know a lot of our tax money goes to that.
Yeah.
But, uh, I really have never looked into it.
I have no idea.
Yeah,
I haven't either.
I've heard, you know, uh different voices speaking up and saying we're not spending enough
Yeah.
Yeah.
and, Mostly that's what I've heard,
Right,
sure.
so I don't know,
Yeah... |
Yeah,
it does every,
So,
It seems to take more than, uh, for any little thing they do,
it seems to take a lot more money that you would think it would. You know.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
But, uh,
Did you have any fear working in the hospital with that,
That's one thing I've never really feared.
Uh-huh.
Uh, uh, I,
a lot of the, my... |
Hello.
How you doing?
Fine.
I'm Lee with, uh, uh,
I'm over here in Plano, Texas.
Okay.
Let me ask you something, can I run a minute and shut my radio off?
Oh, sure.
Okay.
Oh.
Okay.
Where are you calling from
or where are you at?
Arlington.
Arlington, Texas.
Arlington.
Yes.
Well, there's a lot of stuff going on in Arlin... |
Are you involved in any of that?
No.
No.
No,
I'm not, not personally.
Well, uh, what benefits do,
now, do you work?
I'm going to school right now.
Oh, you are?
I can tell you about my last job or whatever you want to talk about that or my husband's or what I think.
Okay.
Yeah.
I've got a lot of,
Because I, I work for m... |
But, uh,
Yes,
I've been in my own business, Mary Kay, in fact,
I'm selling in out now to go to school full time
and I enjoyed the freedom of having that, you know,
Oh, is that right?
go to work when I wanted to or not
Uh-huh.
but, you know, the benefits weren't there.
Yeah.
So,
I, uh, I own part of a roofing company.
O... |
but, uh, on the other hand, I, I, uh, I enjoy having the, the time that I have with my family and being able to, you know, work when I want
Right.
Yeah,
uh-huh.
and,
I think today the thing that I, uh, would appreciate the most,
uh, because my husband gets, his medical through his company,
but we have to pay for mine
U... |
Yeah,
I'll tell you what,
that is the single most uh, benefit that I, that I enjoyed, and I do miss
Right.
because I looked into picking up some, uh, medical insurance for my, just for my family, you know, just,
and it is unbelievable how much you have to pay for it.
It's out of sight.
Right,
it's out of sight.
And, uh... |
I guess what, the other benefits that, uh, that I, uh, that I miss, I guess is, uh, you know, some of the bonuses and stuff that that goes on with just being involved with a big company, you know
Uh-huh.
and course, these days, you can't count on that because
Right.
uh, you know, I feel bad for the people that are invo... |
and, And they had all these
Is that right?
I, I really believe they have done this to themselves, in a way, because of the unions being so stocked.
The union,
yeah.
And right now, anybody's that's laid off from G M will have a full year's paycheck.
I just read this in the paper the other day.
Is that right?
Plus probab... |
that's already hurting.
You know, that's the ones that that that's going to hurt because they depend on that, uh,
But I think there's a case, where benefits have gotten,
they voted them in
and they got so good, I mean, like two dollars for a prescription no deductible on the medical, all these things, you know
Oh, yeah... |
Oh, sure.
Uh, well I, uh, went to school at Madison for two years
and they are really big on women's rights. And, and equal treatment.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
And so I, I've seen a lot of like rallies and things like that.
But, uh, I'm not that liberated.
I mean my mom is kind of old-fashioned, you know.
Uh-huh.
So, I, you kno... |
Uh-huh.
And, uh, I love seeing the men help the women so much.
Right.
And they both cooperate together on,
I think it's great.
Oh, me too
I hope that happens to me someday.
I mean, I, I don't mind doing stuff.
Uh, I have a boyfriend
and I got to make him dinner and stuff
but, you know, I, he'll help me do the dishes.
... |
If they did that, you know.
Right.
And they're, they're good about it.
But it is neat to see them all work together.
And a big thing that I see. All that, most of the, most of the women getting married now, uh, go back, have gone back to, you know,
Uh-huh.
they, they stay at work or go back to work. Or whatever.
Right... |
in fact I work at a high school.
Uh-huh.
And my boss is a black woman and has only been there a couple of months and already promoted
and she's very sharp.
And I think that
and the ethnic thing will be, you know, is a good thing now.
Oh, me too.
They're moving them up
and they're sharp
and they,
so you're going to see ... |
So.
Yeah.
But they know what they're doing.
Right.
But I'm not big on subserving as far as to the men at all.
Uh-huh.
Right.
But I never have gone along with that, you know. Even far back.
But I was brought up pretty good in a home that,
years ago my mother was that way.
The same.
I,
my
you know,
some people say oh th... |
Yeah.
So that's, I think that's good. To keep the equal as far as, as, uh, not, uh, necessarily by sex type thing. You know.
Right.
Same here.
You should be able to accomplish as much.
And I think the, uh, attitude is a lot better towards the parents raising the younger ones now.
Uh-huh.
You see a lot more of the moth... |
I'm not that educated on it.
Yeah.
I'm,
I'm real I'm kind of disgusted this year because I don't see many women into the political scene
and I really think we should have more political leaders in the women than we do up for, and even for President and Vice President this year,
Oh, yeah.
I agree with that.
there's nobo... |
Right.
Right.
So that's good.
But I wish they would get some more on that.
I really was disappointed this year when I see any of the candidates talking that they're talking about.
Uh, they, I didn't see any of the women in there.
Uh-huh.
And that disappoints me.
Oh.
And right now I don't think we have too many. Uh, in ... |
Okay.
You're asking what my opinion about, whether it's possible to have honesty in government.
Yeah.
Well, I suspect that it is possible.
Uh, I think it probably is more likely if you have a small government unit where everybody knows everybody.
Right.
That's a good point.
But, uh, other than that I think maybe it ju... |
And that would be a next question to ask.
or are they in there for their own gains,
and personally I feel it's probably, there's probably some of each.
Right.
Yeah.
But I think maybe a lot of them, um,
say the more honest ones who are still looking out for themselves, it may be more matter of not what can I steal while... |
I think that's just, I think that's very normal, that we should not I think,
I think I think a little more honesty in the campaigns would be, more to the point.
I think we put too much on politicians.
We expect them to only be there to serve us, you know.
Yeah.
If you knew what you were getting when you voted, uh,
T... |
It's hard to imagine.
Because it's, I think it's gotten just well,
we're not talking about issues we're talking about somebody's personal life
and, and we're getting away from what we ought to be looking at
Yeah,
and it almost seems like in order to avoid, uh, some of the scandal, you would have to have the kind of wif... |
And then they also, you know, ask can we eliminate, do you think we could make laws to eliminate all corruption,
and I don't think we can make laws to eliminate anything anyplace totally.
You can make laws against corruption
Yeah,
but that, doesn't mean,
But that doesn't eliminate it, does it? Milwaukee, did it?
I d... |
Yeah.
So, uh,
Yeah,
I still believe I get very fed up with government sometimes
but when I think about where I'd want to go, you know, this is still the best
or I can,
Yeah,
I've been around to a few other countries
and I, uh, I, I have not found one yet that I would rather live in.
I think, uh,
Yeah.
Yeah,
at its wors... |
How about you?
Well, we have a cat, um,
he's probably, oh, a good two years old, big, old, fat and sassy tabby.
Uh-huh.
Oh. Uh, how's the disposition of your Siamese cat?
Well, it's, uh, you know they're just, uh, aggressive by nature
Uh-huh.
and, uh, he's been neutered and declawed,
so he's an indoor cat,
Uh-huh.
so,... |
So we had him neutered, and, and declawed,
and now he bites her.
He can't scratch her any more,
Huh.
he bites her.
Does he bite her enough to draw blood?
Yeah,
yeah,
he has a couple of times,
so.
Uh-huh.
But he's a very possessive cat.
He, he loves my son,
it's his cat,
and he's the only one that allows him to touch hi... |
Yeah.
He meows and wants to get in the bathroom
and, while he showers, it's so hilarious.
So he's quite a animal
Yeah,
boy,
I guess.
Well as long as he doesn't get too aggressive. I guess with the daughter he's all right.
Yeah.
You wouldn't want him to carry her off or something.
Yeah,
well, we, we did, uh, actually ta... |
Is that the only pet that you have?
It is,
uh-huh.
We, we tried a dog about four years ago, and we ended up with, uh, oh, malamute and some other kind of mix.
Anyway it was, it ended up being just a huge, huge dog that ate us out of house and home.
So, we gave him up and tried.
Well, do you live, you, you in a house, o... |
and, uh, it's, it's not that big that, uh
Oh
although I've heard rabbits are pretty good
Oh.
you know, I saw something on C N N or on cable here a while ago that showed some people that had rabbits in apartments and in houses,
Uh-huh.
Oh, my word.
and they apparently, uh,
especially when they're young when they bring t... |
Yep,
that's right.
Oh.
Did you see the, the C N N, the, the dog show, uh,
Huh-uh,
we don't have C, we don't have cable.
I see.
Well they have, uh, uh, a they call it the Westminster Dog Show, uh,
I think it's in New York City at the, at the Gardens
there once a year live
Oh.
and they had that on last week,
and that's r... |
So.
Well, I'd be, interesting to watch.
So you live in Utah do you?
Yes,
uh-huh.
Elton.
Goodness.
We live out here by, it's by Ogden.
It's north of Salt Lake City, Utah
Uh-huh.
and we really love it out here.
It's, uh, kind of country.
We're, we're only about ten minutes from Ogden.
Uh-huh.
So, we're kind of country bu... |
yeah,
yeah.
Oh, well, see, I'm getting so many calls to Texas.
This is the very first one I've, I've talked to.
Oh, well, great.
Yeah,
I've been doing it for about two weeks
and, uh, no my, No my,
Uh-huh.
So how do you get most of your current event information?
Well, , see I'm going to school right now,
and, uh, whil... |
you keep up on what's going on.
That's true,
I mean, my roommates and stuff, you know people around me talk about it.
Yeah.
And the people I work with are pretty, you know, up, up-to-date on that kind of stuff,
so.
Right.
Well, I'm a housewife,
I have three kids,
and so um, I get most of my information probably throug... |
Oh, see channel, where I am channel eight's, um, like public T V,
so it's kind of different.
Oh, uh-huh.
Yeah.
I think, I think the, uh,
I think a lot of the commentators on, like the major networks, like right, it's kind of appropriate right now because of the election stuff going on,
but, um, it seems that, um, they ... |
And the news, too, it just doesn't, um, cover that many stories,
I mean, it just covers your basic, you know, violent crimes and, you know, and, and your catastrophes with weather and stuff,
Yeah.
but other than that, you really don't know what's going on.
Yeah.
Um, I will read our current letters that come out on elec... |
or if I, you know, am interested in something, of course, during the when we were in war, I read up on that just a little in the newspaper to find out what was going on.
Oh, yeah.
But a lot of the times, I, you know, I wish I had the time to read all the stories in the newspaper,
but I just can't seem to find the time.... |
Oh, yeah,
that's,
they start, already they're having like, um,
in the newspaper they have a section, I think, every now and then, on the Olympics, you know,
and they've got like a countdown,
it's like sixteen hundred days or something.
I know, we're trying to get tickets to it right now.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
That's going ... |
they spent a lot of time, that's another thing, they spend a long time on sports,
and I think that, um, that's fine, I would like to see more time spent on other things.
Yeah.
But.
It seems like,
I don't know,
they way they do the newscasts, I wish they, they kind of separated it, you know,
if you wanted to watch one t... |
Well, I like cats.
This, this cat is a, uh, more like a dog.
Oh yeah.
Yeah
he's, uh, a one owner.
He likes one boy in the family and that's about it
That's odd.
How does he treat the other people?
Just, uh, stays away or runs usually.
Wow.
But he follows, he'll follow my oldest son around.
You know when he is in the ho... |
Huh, that's interesting.
So, it's a weird cat
Huh. We have a, a mutt.
A mutt.
Well, we, we named it Hooper because that's where we got it from.
Uh-huh.
Uh, some lady, she, uh,
a lot of people, uh, uh, drop off abandoned, abandoned pets at her house
Oh.
and she use to work for a veterinarian
so she would uh, neuter them... |
Uh yeah.
Right now it, it is.
You feel like.
It's kind of good training.
I mean we have been trying for kids,
but right now we haven't had any,
Oh, uh-huh.
but it's pretty good training, I think really, keeps her on her toes
Have, have you had dogs before?
Uh, my brother has.
Uh, we didn't do a lot with them.
Uh, I nev... |
well not mutts, but mixes you know like one or two mix
Uh-huh.
and those dogs always seem to be the best dogs.
That's what we found.
Ours is, uh, like a cockapoo.
Uh-huh.
I think it's half cocker spaniel and half poodle.
Uh-huh.
But, it's a really good dog.
Yeah.
I don't know,
they seem to be, I mean, listen better or ... |
and so,
Would you ever want a dog in the family?
Uh, we, I would.
We, uh, we had a dog that was a, uh, mix between an Alaska Malamute and a Labrador
Uh-huh.
and, uh, I should say a pup
and he was just too big for our kids when we got him
Oh yeah.
and we, when we moved into our house that was the first thing we wanted t... |
so we gave him to, uh,
I don't know if you've,
there is a place out here, uh, called Shorties Lane out here in Harrisville
Uh-huh.
and they have, uh,
I guess it's kind of an animal shelter
but he just takes a few the animals in
and some he destroys
and some he keeps.
Uh-huh.
So we took him up there
and he ended up keep... |
just goes everywhere with him.
I, he would have been a great, great dog.
He just needed a lot of time.
Uh-huh.
Hey Steve.
Uh, They just, uh, they just started a recycling program here, I think.
Actually, this is my first experience with recycling program
but, uh, instead of just like tossing everything away which I alw... |
They refund the deposit which is anywhere from five to fifteen cents a container
and then,
The, the deposits only on like drink stuff.
Right.
Okay.
On the, on primarily on soft drink, pops and that kind of thing
Okay.
and, uh, so, they induce recycling of plastic and glass, soft drink containers.
Uh, we do have one of ... |
actually, the government has placed the deposit which is the inducement to recycle the bottle so that you get your money back
and then the recycler run by the handicapped society pays back the cost of that deposit
and then I, and then they in turn will get some money from the bottlers and from the the people that do th... |
but we have actually quite an extensive network of collecting news papers.
They are actually at, virtually all of the shopping centers. Like the shopping malls.
There are several containers where the group called Cosmopolitan Industries collects
or people can drop their used news papers and other papers in the bins
and... |
well, I, uh, I give to the United Way
and so I figured that amount of money I just donate to that.
Uh-huh,
as opposed to paying for cable.
Yeah,
I take away a, uh, addiction
Oh, something.
Yeah.
Well I,
Uh, overall I, I,
the quality of the news you get off of most, uh, sources I would say is pretty low.
It's,
usually y... |
Uh-huh.
For a while there I, I, I, uh, subscribed to NEW YORK TIMES, actually a couple of newspapers because, uh, you know, my fiance,
well, she was unemployed for a while
so she, you know, really needed to look at the, the help wanted ads
Uh-huh.
and so often they, they the newspapers are trying to compete with a lot ... |
Uh, and I like listening to that on, on, uh,
when I get a chance, when I'm in the car a long enough time to, to listen to it, because I,
Right,
yeah,
I miss N P R a lot also.
I really like them because they give, uh,
instead of being, as your newspaper or your T V news where you get a five minute blurb or a ten paragra... |
Uh, but I, I don't know,
I guess a lot of it's still a lot of hype.
Look at the, the Smith trial.
Uh-huh.
I mean, that was a joke.
Yeah,
that was,
but then you also have things where you, uh, where they broadcast the Clarence Thomas hearings basically the whole length of them which I thought was really good.
Oh, yeah,
... |
Oh, really?
That's kind of boring to me, I think.
Yeah,
it, it is, really kind of boring,
but, you know, that's,
if, if you don't watch it there, then you're going to hear somebody else's canned, uh, report, somebody else's view about it
and that's what you're supposed, you're supposed to,
if you watch the news, you're... |
Uh-huh.
Uh, and, although I can't afford it right now, I would just like love to have one.
Oh, really,
you like, uh,
so you're an American
Well,
you want to buy American.
No,
regardless of that fact.
It's the best car in the class for the cheapest amount of money.
I'm interested in having it for, uh, doing a little aut... |
and it just, you know, it, it dominated over all of them.
Everybody, all the, uh, raters loved it.
I like the, I like the styling
and, I seen a few of them actually race
and they seem to be really good cars for it.
What about Mustang G T
Mustang G T
Uh, can't afford it.
Those,
so you're talking about ones in a lower, l... |
Yeah.
Yeah,
we'll see then.
Yeah,
right now I'm stuck,
I, I've got a, a Pontiac Sunbird Turbo that,
it's fast, but unreliable
and trying to get it prepared for racing.
But it's, it would be nice, just like scrap it and go for the Saturn.
Right,
would you use that for city driving and racing?
Oh, yeah,
I'd do it, I'd us... |
Okay.
Tight turns, hard acceleration.
I've seen a lot of Mustangs, uh, compete
and it's interesting.
They get dominated by the Corvettes that are also in their class.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Yeah,
I would guess so.
Uh, what are you thinking about buying?
Uh, I think I'd like to get, uh, B M W or if I go the German route, whi... |
Yes.
and I was, I was there this, uh, summer
and, uh, I was really impressed by the, uh, the, uh, factory, uh, tours and such for B M W.
The,
Yeah,
they, their, they have the whole philosophy,
I mean, they, they kind of even brainwash themselves into thinking they're better, which is kind of hard to take
Yeah.
I mean a... |
the, uh, the B M W is really, oh, like, oh, we have all these like high tech things
and everything is put together with exacting tolerances
and, and then you go to Porsche
and it's like, well, uh, these cars are completely handmade
Um.
and no two of them are alike
And
Yeah
that's,
so it's like completely opposed.
I don... |
yeah,
but it, it, B M W good for that.
What kind of driving just like commuting you'd want to do it, use it for?
Yeah,
just work,
short trips.
No no heavy mileage.
I'm putting on less than fifteen thousand miles a year.
Wow, yeah.
So it's pretty minimal.
That's cool.
Lasts a long time.
That's mainly what I'm looking fo... |
and,
And is it different for the, for the B M W?
Uh, I think, well, something on the order of a three series, it's probably different.
Once you get up in the five series and higher, then, all your repair costs go up significantly
Probably.
Right,
I can imagine that.
So I'm kind,
yeah,
I'm not sure if I really want,
All... |
Uh-huh.
Anyway.
You don't have children?
No.
But you're married?
Yeah,
we, we've been married for two and a half years.
We've been trying for about two years but no luck yet.
Oh.
Hopefully,
You know, I know we're not supposed to do this long distance
but actually I'm getting a call.
I wonder if I could possibly take it... |
Hello?
Uh-huh.
I'm so sorry.
All right.
That was my daughter's Brownie leader telling me that there is a meeting tomorrow Brownie meeting.
Okay.
That keeps you
do you have a lot of activities with your kids?
Well, I don't want to, I don't want this to be a unilateral conversation
but, yes,
we do.
Both my husband and I ... |
our children have not yet decided to rebel
Uh-huh.
So they're pretty good kids, huh?
I'm sure that's coming though.
But, they are wonderful kids.
Yeah.
Well, we had growing up
I guess I can talk about us.
We had nine kids in our family.
We had eight boys and one girl.
But, my Dad, uh,
You had eight boys and one girl?
... |
Well, we're Catholics.
I came from a family of five.
I had four brothers,
Uh-huh.
the only girl.
Oh.
And everyone always asked if the girl got spoiled.
Which that,
I never felt spoiled.
In fact I always thought my toys were destroyed
I was going to say, my sister wasn't spoiled very much.
No.
Usually busy fighting for ... |
I happen to, um,
I'm a pediatrician.
Oh.
My husband is a physician,
so, uh, I, I I talk to parents about this a lot.
But children,
I, I think working mothers or mothers who choose to work outside the home, um, need very early to come to grips with any guilt, that they feel and decide what's best for them and their fam... |
It's like you said, you know, to each his own.
And we're planning on having my wife stay home.
And but,
There's no question,
I think that's really the best.
If, if a woman is happy doing that,
Uh-huh.
I hate to put it quite that way.
Yeah.
I was twenty-nine when I had my first child
and, uh, I would not have been real ... |
Oh.
Uh-huh.
Um, and I think we choose very, very carefully the, um, alternative situations that we had them in.
Uh-huh.
Some baby-sitting groups,
again, I know it sounds like a rationalization,
but I really do think sometimes they very early on are around lots of other children
and they, they learn to share.
They learn... |
You're still trying to dry out?
It's that's no problem here.
Yeah,
we really liked it up there
but then
I don't believe that we're ,
So what do you think about, uh, recycling programs in Atlanta, Julie?
The recycling program here is just terrible.
I mean it's hard to find places to go.
I mean, Kroger does a couple thin... |
The one in Florida is so cool because they pick up everything.
They pick up newspapers and, uh, you know, milk jugs and aluminum and tin cans, you know, like soup comes in and stuff.
Uh-huh.
They pick up everything.
During the summers, like the, around where I live the, uh, homeless people
I mean, they all have like sh... |
I know it.
They just overflow.
It piles up.
So what's a guy to do?
I just don't know.
I asked myself.
I just don't know
and now they have, like bins and stuff that are a little more convenient because, mean, until seven o'clock, you got to pay to park at the student center,
you can't really unload all your stuff.
Reall... |
Oh, yeah.
Yeah,
I'm kind of, I'm kind of bad about it.
The ,
If I, if see a, if I see a pile of cans or bottles or something I'll throw it in there
Uh-huh.
but I don't really, I don't ever take anything.
Well, I mean, it's real,
you ought to, because the, the, the farmer's market recycles absolutely everything.
Uh-huh.... |
Hi.
I'm from Atlanta.
Me, too.
Neat.
Crazy.
Uh, well, is there anything else you'd like to share me about your recycling philosophy, Julie?
I just think that everybody ought to do it.
Do they do
like, what about, like, uh,
what kind of plastic stuff can you recycle, do you know?
The only thing I know that you can recyc... |
Uh-huh.
but, also most places, like Big Star does
and I'm not sure if Kroger does or not
but,
They'll ask you whether you want bags or paper or plastic.
Yeah,
and they, they have like little, little boxes that you can put your old bags in.
uh.
Can bring them in.
Those petroleum products are going to kill us.
I know it,... |
Paper just seems so innocuous.
Huh?
Paper doesn't seem threatening at all, you know.
Well, it is, it is, though.
It comes from trees.
How can it be bad?
It is, because they,
They treat it with chemicals or something?
Why can't trees break down?
I don't get it.
Well, they do treat paper with chemicals
like yellow paper,... |
You'll be able to read off of it.
I'm going to switch from those yellow legal pads, then.
Yeah, um.
I'm glad you told me that, because I use those at work, where I work
and, uh, But I can just forget that from now on.
I'm going I'm going to switch to the white ones.
Well, white paper's bad too.
They, they treat it, t... |
What do you think?
I mean, everybody, everybody everybody has a computer.
Kind of radical, I know
but,
We would no longer need paper at all.
That's true.
Everyone had a two way wrist watch T V on their wrist, like, uh, Dick Tracy.
I would love that.
So how do you, uh,
so, so, it sounds like you've got a television goin... |
Cliff, I see,
so, uh, it's not affiliated with anything, is it.
Not it's not a network station.
No.
No.
Okay,
yeah,
because I, I listen to, uh, public radio a lot
and they have, they have K C R W, which I, I, I saw a thing recently, they may be trying to start their own, uh, cable TV outlet, I guess.
They're getting a ... |
We read, I read it pretty much from cover to cover.
Yeah.
How do you like it?
It's been, it's been a while since I read the Dallas news.
I, uh, fact, last time I read the Dallas, Dallas news I was in Arkansas.
I, uh ,
The TIMES HERALD went out of business here
Oh, yeah?
and so we really only have one Dallas newspaper a... |
So, how do you keep up?
Oh, me, I, uh, good grief, I read the TIMES, LOS ANGELES TIMES.
There's, quite a task if you've ever run into one.
They're, uh
Yes, they're very voluminous.
Yeah,
they're thick.
Uh, if there's something you want to know, it's, it's in the TIMES and then, and in detail. *repair bracketing wrong
