@greta My 26 year old daughter is in the processing of buying her first home. It should close in the next week or so. We did not help her one iota and she is proud of that fact.
@Heminator Super rural Mississippi dweller here- no, we do not depend on PBS or NPR. Can only speak personally, of course. I tune in to watch Antiques Roadshow and a few other documentaries occasionally but that's about it.
@megbasham My goodness. I wasn't expecting to cry but that's precisely what I did. She's not used to public speaking? She just knocked that out of the park! Excellent in both writing and speaking!
I can honestly say that I didn't have a clue who most of the "celebrities" were. It could be my age (I'm 52) or that my viewing habits have taken a sharp downward turn over the years because of the ideology they continue to insist upon feeding us. I really only recognized 4 or 5 from the photos I saw.
