12 Life Lessons The Golden Girls Taught Us
Picture it: Miami, 1985. Four middle-aged actresses agree to play the characters of Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia who share a home in a TV sitcom called The Golden Girls, unaware at the time of the kind of impact the show would leave on its adoring fans. The show aired until 1992, ending with a one-season spinoff called Golden Palace. The seven years we were graced with The Golden Girls on our television screens made its mark. More than three decades after Susan Harris’ imagination sparked the creation of these iconic characters, fans from around the world still watch reruns of The Golden Girls, spend time discussing the show on social media in Facebook groups like The Golden Girls Fanatics, carry Sophia-inspired handbags and relate to the episodes in their daily lives.

Dear Mr. Mikey - I've tried to be supportive of you and even did a few 'Shout-Outs' on your behalf as being so 'responsive' for all of the Youngins. Yes, we are on different 'pages' - I'm not into promos or challenges, just a simple old fashion StoryTeller, nothing more, so I see why you never jump into the 'Senior' pond. I'll *unsubscribe for now and wish you only the best. Jay Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author - Vocal Village Community -
Mikeydred!!!!! I can’t believe what you did with this! Incredible, bravo mate
Very good. But did you forget to make "Never Have I Ever" bold, or was it by intent?
Hi Mike. I thoroughly enjoyed. A subject and 5 words to create a Sonnet! It’s wonderful to see how you collaborate with other authors to brainstorm ideas. And my sincere thanks for linking me to The invisible Writer. I read his fiction ‘Chapter 1’ of ‘The Redeemer’ and in doing so you set me on a pathway to an unexpected gift. You may like to read my comment there. Pauline 🌸
