What’s all this fuss I’ve been hearing about CBS being run by Barry White? He’s a great singer, I’m sure he’ll do a fine job with the news too.

This is a picture of Craggaunowen Castle from our trip to Ireland 20+ years ago. I’m trying different ways of giving photos a painted look. After watching a ton of tutorials and a lot of trial and error I finally feel like I’m getting close. #AffinityPhoto #PhotoToPainting #PhotoManipulation

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?

I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
