i love seeing charles and carrie have their moments together, the focus is always so much on the older girls esp in the beginning its nice to see them bond.
most people are like harriet these days in the sense that they cant just let people go not paying but, its nice knowing there are some ppl out there who are good about it, i know here where it's pretty small town, even at our walmart the other day i was 2 dollars short, i said oh im gonna have to take that out and come back for it this evening, the lady was like don't worry about it, i thanked her so much, went home, and within the hour took the 2 dollars back, she was amazed i came back with it
My mum went to a shop and her change was meant to be 50p but they gave her 75p she realised when she got home drove back to the shop to give them the 25p
@ChicagoTyme2 I know! Have you read Melissa Gilbert's "A Prairie Tale"? In the book, she talks about how she wore braces on and off for several years- a much longer span of time than it would usually take for children's teeth to straighten out. You can gradually see her teeth straightening as the seasons went by. It's crazy how even when Melissa closes her mouth, those two little teeth still stick out at 2:35. For some reason, Melissa's cheekiness as a child gets on my nerves.
@Jennafu832 That was his little joke with her. He was teasing her with that, because of her cute little buck teeth and she wore braces lol. Because of the show, she couldn't wear the braces during the show's run. It was years later until Melissa's teeth were straight and finally right. Same thing with Alison Arngrim, only her's wasn't as bad off, but in season 3 you could tell.
You know, Michael Landon was quotes as saying that Melissa Gilbert could "eat an apple through a picket fence." With that in mind, there's something about the way Melissa Gilbert takes that bite of ham at the table at 2:36 that gets on my nerves. I don't know what it is. It always has. I think it's a combination of her over-enthusiastic personality, her big buck teeth sticking out of her mouth when her lips are closed, and that sideways bite she takes with her fork. It's just weird-looking.
This episode is another perfect example of how much more kids did and families pulled together. Can you imagine a kid today saying let me help you earn to pay the bills? No, they say, can't you buy me this? If they actually did earn they'd buy an mp3 player or some dumb thing for themselves.Then they'd complain if you have to move and they need to change schools.Today's world bills are all up to parents.
@ChicagoTyme2 Oh no! I didn't mean it like that! I'm sorry! While there's not much you can tell me about LHOTP that I don't already know, I was never angry at you. When I said "I know!", it meant "Oh my gosh, I know!", as in agreeing with you. I didn't mean it like, "I already know that." I'm sorry it sounded that way. :)
@spaghettilover100 I think everyone feels that way about his/her father. My dad just never cried (or let me see him cry, anyway). I think it's just the influence society has on us. Men are expected to be strong, and a father tends to be the first and best example of how we view men in general. If our fathers tend to live by society's standards, it's even more awkward for us when they break the rules of socialization. Kind of like when we think about our parents having sex... ugh.
i think that Charles ingalles is the riches man on walnut grow not in money but in his family when things got hard the children and his wife got them self through it together the olison are rich with money but charles ingalles is rich man with having his family .
@85bearboy Mr. Hanson couldn't pay Charles because the company didn't pay Mr. Hanson. This was obviously a big order they were both counting on. But the company went bankrupt, and after they settled affairs with lawyers, fees, and debt, he had no choice but to close the Mill down until they finally paid them something. Mr. Hanson had bills and everything too. Just because he had a big house, didn't mean he had a whole lot of money. The Oleson's were really the richest family in town.
