I’m so sick of the healthcare system. As a person with chronic illness and pain. All we want is help. I shouldn’t have to jump thru so many loops. Just once I’d like staff to be helpful and not make me cry after a phone call of pure frustration
It was the early 1950s, and "I Love Lucy" had America enraptured. The show was so popular that, as Lucille Ball, the star who played "Lucy" would say,
"In 1951-52, our show changed the Monday-night habits of America. Between nine and nine-thirty, taxis disappeared from the streets of New York. Marshall Fields department store in Chicago hung up a sign: 'We love Lucy too, so from now on we'll be open Thursday nights instead of Monday.' Telephone calls across the nation dropped sharply during that half hour, as well as the water flush rate, as whole families sat glued to their seats."
But in 1952, the show nearly came to a stop. Lucille was pregnant. She and her husband, Desi Arnaz, were expecting their second child.
Joyful it was for the couple but problematic for the show, considering the societal taboos around depicting pregnancy on television. Sensing an opportunity to be bold and help shift social norms, the executives and writers wrote Lucille's real-life pregnancy into the show, though they used the word “expecting” instead of “pregnant.”
As Lucille's pregnancy unfolded on screen, the show handled it with warmth and humor, delighting viewers and adding to its immense popularity.
On January 19, 1953, Lucille gave birth to Desi Arnaz Jr., and just 12 hours later, 44 million viewers – 72% of American households – tuned in to see Lucy welcome Little Ricky into the world. The episode garnered more viewers than President Dwight D. Eisenhower's inauguration the following day.
Just because a person has a gorgeous heart & gentle nature doesn't mean they're naive or fragile. You never know the type of chaos it took for someone to become that calm. Don't confuse kindness for weakness...those ppl have survived the hardest battles—they're smart & strong af
You deserve a calm love with someone who hears you, sees you, understands you, appreciates you, supports you, and loves you. Someone who is consistent, communicates clearly, and creates a caring safe space to heal, grow, and bloom together. A love you never have to heal from.
