Any truth to the new story that Kate has hit hard times? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Did anyone read the story that Miss Jackson has fallen on hard times? I went to www.bing.com and searched her name and there are several stories that she is not doing well at all. I hope this is not true as Kate seemed to be such a calm, level-headed person.

Most of that so-called 'news' is 6-7 years old. Any article you read in the 'National Enquirer' cannot be taken seriously and is mostly garbage. Where are the pics of the alleged rat droppings and moldy, rotting food?

If she was in dire financial trouble, you'd figure she be trying to get the book done ASAP.

I hope you're right. I've been waiting for her book for a couple of years now. I hope she finishes it soon. I'd love to read about her Hollywood experience back in the day. I liked Hollywood back then up to about the 1990s, when it started getting too weird, liberal and radical.

I'm also anticipating her book. I plan on attending any book signing Kate gives, no matter where it's located.

The world was much more simple and innocent in the 70's. It's probably just one of the reasons I like to wallow in the past and watch many of these older tv shows. Technological advancement has changed everything. Most millennials seem to have their heads buried in their cell phones all day long. People are losing their social and intrapersonal skills... this is what's most disturbing and/or weird to me.

I remember the 1970s. Was 5 in 1970 and 14 in 1979. Yes, these days of 24 hour news has hurt the country in many ways in my opinion, not to mention of course smart phones, which have their place, but have also hurt the country.

We are the same age.

How about rotary dial phones with an extra long curly cord?... how archaic!

I remember the first time we got a push button dialing phone... we all thought that was tremendous technological advancement!

Speaking of old rotary dial phones, until 1975, our old 1957 house only had one phone and it was the old style black dial phone that sat on a stand in the hallway of the old house. We moved to a new brand house later that year and had two phones, one white (parent's room) and one yellow (in kitchen), both still rotary dial, woohoo!

That old house had a one car carport, no central air conditioning (we had window units), an attic fan in the hall ceiling and no automatic dishwasher or disposal in the sink. And until 1974, our fridge did not have an icemaker, we used ice cube trays to make ice. But that old fridge went out and we had to get a new one, with an icemaker. But, it was a house and I never grew up in an apartment. We always had a yard (front and back) to play in with a sandbox and a swingset.

In 1975-'80 we had one window air conditioner, it was in my parents room. My sister and I had to sleep on the bedroom floor when it was hot. I remember those summers being VERY hot.

In the 80's some people had pagers. I remember a kid I went to high school with had a pager... everyone accused him of being a drug dealer.

In 1995 I thought home computing and the internet was a marvel. I never thought my huge desk top computer and CRT monitor would eventually be shrunk down to fit the palm of your hand.

Generation Y and Z are soooooo spoiled.

Yeah, times have changed in a big way and change happens very quickly these days.
