It's funny. I don't remember TV playing a big part in my life growing up. After all, I spent most of the day (when not at school) outside playing with friends.
I do remember we had a black and white TV (I was hooked on Batman) back in the 60's. I can't recall when we got a color TV. Fast forward to 2025--my wife and I watch a 98" TV.
Oh, and that $1000 TV in 1954 is the equivalent to almost $12,000 today. What a TV you could buy for $12,000.
That's a very good point - it makes no sense to single out one month. I'm guessing she was referring to those parts of the world where March represents the beginning of Spring rather than Autumn, new beginnings etc., but even then, it's a bit of a sweeping statement.
Nothing ever goes truly to plan does it? - well said!
I bought my granddaughter an organizer for her crochet hooks instead of candy this year. Last year I gave her art supplies. My daughter handles the candy in our home. My other grandchildren when they were younger, I sent them things they liked to do. I'm not the candy supplier either.
I like the idea of pajamas, maybe next year that's what I'll get her new spring nightgowns.
I'm finding it very challenging after my knee surgery. Jeans that I used to wear don't have enough stretch around the knee (it's still swelling) and I don't want to buy new jeans. Even sweat pants are too narrow right now around the knee. Capris' hit right above the knee but smack dab in the middle of the swelling. I hate wearing shorts so I'm wearing knit pajama pants when I go out and while I'm home in a nightgown. The nerve spasms are still an issue.
I agree with you about the cut, I hate jeans that when I sit my butt crack shows so the rise is a huge deal which takes online shopping off the table for me.

Joy Thank you for your comments. I’m sorry to hear you have the dreaded arthritis too. You never realise how important your feet are until they refuse to work.
Who celebrates Pi Day? Every year on March 14, math fanatics and food lovers unite to celebrate Pi Day, a holiday that's dedicated to the lengthy mathematical number that most people abbreviate to 3. 14.. What's your favorite pie? Do you bake them yourself? Or go for the premade pies at the store?
When I first saw the prompt I was ready to run for the hills! Maths? My worst subject.
But pie, now we’re talking. I used to make pies all the time when the family were home but now it’s just the two of us I can’t be bothered. I actually purchased my first store bought apple pie ever in my whole life last week. I felt a twinge of guilt which lasted all of one second.
I think now “do we need all that pastry anyway?” The answer is definitely not.
I often make crumbles. Apple/plum/rhubarb are my favourite. The topping is a healthier choice and often contains oats, butter, maybe some dried fruit. Custard or cream is a must but if on a health kick plain yogurt can be good too.
