watch "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving". It will soothe my soul.
Having worked for (or at least been employed by) MetLife for the last five years of my career, I'm ILLINOISLION and I support this message!
I love the Charlie Brown stuff. It really is magical to me.
Yeats:
"And, O, but she had stories
To keep the soul of man alive,
Banish age and care."
MetLife is my Dental insurer. I'm not happy that they dumped Snoopy.
Ah Jim. Thank you for that. Your response is an example of why this board is so special.
Aaaah the memories.... Snoopy's fight with the lounge chair is legendary!
Yeats is appropriate for every occasion:
"Think where man's glory most begins and ends,
And say my glory was I had such friends."
Happy Thanksgiving to all in my McAndrew family.

Well said LJ, and I wish all of you the best of times, do good and be well.

I was stunned.....absolutely stunned.....when I first heard that.
Had a pair of red Snoopy suspenders that occasionally spiffed up my corporate attire and once had to pass around my Snoopy watch for everyone to admire in a renewal meeting. In five years dealing with 8-10 different large corporate clients, I never once came across a benefits manager, human resource officer, treasurer, or vice president that didn't like Snoopy.
When we first acquired United Airlines, I had to trade an inflatable MetLife / Snoopy football-sized blimp for a model of oops, I forget, maybe a 727/ 737.
Met Charles Schultz once.....and was later weathered out of a ride in the real MetLife blimp.
My parents loved Snoopy too. I don't think there was a birthday, Mother's Day or Father's Day (until my Dad died in 2014) over the last 20 years that I didn't go to a Hallmark store since they had the monopoly on Snoopy cards.
This program should be banned from the airwaves. Did you see Charlie Brown, Sally, Linus, Peppermint Patty, Marcy, and Franklin all climb into the back of a station wagon, without seat belts? And they were all facing sideways.
And while we're at it, having all those toasters plugged in at the same time is a tragedy waiting to happen.

Was Snoopy involved in a scandal? That's usually why celebrities lose their endorsements.
Those kids ran around unsupervised for 60 years. Played baseball without a coach, threw snowballs, worked out their own problems, made fun of each other, learned things from each other, won and lost...the horror.

That little prick Woodstock .... how dare he have naked babies running through fields and such.
Yeah, I'm sure my parents will have no problem with me going across town to some strange old lady's house for dinner. Today, the Brown's neighbors would be calling child protective services because unsupervised kids were eating popcorn and jelly beans for dinner.
Agree. We are raising a nation of wimps. Growing up I cannot recall a single time that a parent had to step in and settle a dispute. Usually arguments were settled by us kids with words. On occasion it was done by pushing, shoving, wrestling...rarely fists. We learned when to compromise and when to hold our ground. There were winners and losers, but nearly all of us had lots of experience as both. The adults did not try to make us little adults. They let us us be kids, and along the way we became responsible adults.
Nah, they'd be giving the jelly beans and popcorn out to the kids.
