What a gorgeous woman! Can't blame Tuck for forgetting his ranch and being gob-smacked by her beauty. I love seeing a woman in a dress and behaving like a lady. No tattoos, no piercings other than maybe the ears, no profanity and acting like a man. Just a classy, beautiful, respectful lady. And those Cartwrights are just a special breed of men! Strong, smart, loyal and all class! They were my role models growing up.

Joseph there's a huge difference what we read in story books and actually living life, amen to this Joe.

[@edoedo8686]

@Richard. I respectfully disagree. The best of art is intimately connected to the reality life--that is why it is great, classic. The irony is not lost: television, Hollywood, is by definition and hard work, a storybook. In this art, it even teaches us, offers a moment to reflect. Indeed, without art, Humanity would have a deep wound....

[@multirichardb]

@@edoedo8686 Your altogether to funny [ edo edo ] we agree on more levels of this abstraction than you can imagine. As well your not listening to the script, I was mocking Joseph. Using irony to some degree. And in case you are not paying attention to the script Joseph winds up playing the part of the hero, he mocked. A lesson in and of itself and for all time, and each of us.

Although, the statement was made with regard to two individuals, but with regard to humanity the same applies as women now take on roles of the man and vice versa. The micro always reflects in the macro, and with careful attention to detail we also begin to see into the future as a dark dystopian era is upon humanity that embraces similar human patterns of the mind and psyche.

[@angelonettebolden2700]

I believe Louis Vuitton was founded in the late 1700s. I believe he made goods for the king of France. I might be wrong on the exact date, but I'm sure that well traveled ladies and gents during the 1800s bought a lot of luggage from France.

If these people in the past saw the commercials today they would first laugh thinking it was a bad joke and then they would be disgusted. These commercials reach children and elderly people the two most honest ages. One is tired of pretending and now knows better and the other is to young to have been tampered with. How disgusting are the people calling the shots In Hollywood when the only time we see their work we try our best to avoid it because it’s down right rude and disrespectful. They use to entertain us like this great show.

Another exciting upload Grjngo. The Ponderosa ranchers were bankrupt and the boy wasn't able to manage any monies to buy new or used garments and overgarments. The old cheat never changed his fake leather vest either. All of the Cartwright freaks seldom cleaned or changed their sweaty clothes or hats. Although, the dirty gray haired adopter would cook the ranch ledgers regularly. The Cartwrights very seldom had any money.
