Tab tasted like the melted ice at the bottom of a glass of instant lemon iced tea with the pocket-change tang of saccharine. #CineJanes

Thanks!

It's a Living! — Pop Trash Museum The 1980 sitcom It’s a Living, about waitresses working at the Above the Top restaurant, may never be considered one of the greats, but it’s cast has charm to spare—well worth a TV binge.

#CineJanes Thanks so much, @theasabin.bsky.social ! I've loved this movie since I was 10 and it's always a joy to revisit!!

LOL, they were both in their thirties! Late thirties, in my dad’s case!

Yes! That’s it!

My dad joined the army for the GI Bill after high school. If he’d been even a year older, he’d likely have been in Korea, like his older sister’s husband. My mom’s 2nd husband, who’s 2 years younger, was stationed in Japan a few years later & loved it — his junior year abroa! #CineJanes.

Thanks!!

She made it herself from African fabric. The fish necklace was borrowed from a friend. #CineJanes

Wasn't Missy Hart also the boss on that sitcom about waitresses in a high-end restaurant with Ann Jillian? #CineJanes

*shudder^ #CineJanes

Ah, Tab! Refreshing, tasteless, vaguely metallic Tab! #CineJanes

The Republicans lost him when they let the fundamentalists set the agenda. He was a scientific rationalist with a degree in physics & a dislike of the overtly religious.

Thanks! It was pretty wild. They were together for 30 years or so but obviously miserable for that last decade or so.

My father was mildly conservative, mostly (a Rockefeller Republican, as long as that was possible) but was quiet about it & only married outspoken West Coast liberals. #CineJanes

She’d been to *all* the Bay Area encounter groups in the early 70s and was no monument to tact, but hated it when it came from someone else. #CineJanes

She couldn’t stand it when I “contradicted“ or “criticized” her by knowing or noticing things she didn’t. #CineJanes

Blink, and you missed it. (I only remember him as Ted Bundy in The Stranger Beside Me.

Oh, she was a Berkeley-in-the-60s grad who’d once tried to go to a Black Panthers meeting. She just thought Jane Fonda was one-note. #CineJanes

"I killed the boss. You think they're not going to fire me for a thing like that?" #CineJanes

Is that Violet's car? Because it matches Dora Lee's coat perfectly. #CineJanes

Her whole outfit, actually. #CineJanes

Lily's blouse is amazing. #CineJanes

I was 13 & she was 38. #CineJanes

#CineJanes Was watching this in TV ad a teen w/ my dad & his 2nd wife. When Jane Fonda got outraged about the firing, she rolled her eyes & sss as if she hated Fonda playing the same activist role over & over. I objected, & *she* ran down the hall & slammed the bedroom door.

Thanks!
