Thorougly Un-modern Millie

Since Fio seems to be in a self-revelatory mood, she'll confess that she's hopelessly out of date with popular culture.  She stopped going to movies years ago when she was working four jobs and taking care of a family.  Her favorite TV show is Big Bang Theory,  which she discovered five years after it premiered.  She's never worn thongs except back then that was what flip-flops were called. She's never squeezed herself into a bustier or a bikini.   Her nails are never manicured unless Daughter herds her to her favorite salon, and her toenails have never been any color but the one they were born with.

But it isn't just personal.  Fio also doesn't know how to do anything with a cell phone but talk, and, to her, a computer is just for writing.  She did play Tetrus on her computer several years ago, but asked Husband to remove it when she started dreaming about those falling dealies while she slept.

Maybe Fio isn't the source of the time warp--maybe pop culture is out of touch with Fio!

 

Well-publicized Turkeys

A leading political turkey is Sarah Palin, who's heavy on criticism but light on solutions. Fine feathers do not a bald eagle make.

As for entertainment turkeys, let's take a formerly mated pair, Jon and Kate. They made lots of money off their kids, spent it on mansions, fancy cars, diamond rings and such, then split up. Expect to see them together again on your local street island holding up mismatching "God bless" signs.

For beauty turkeys, Carrie Prejean takes the prize. Of course, her breast has already been carved--and stuffed. Too bad her brain cavity was left empty.
