I still have my old[inflatable]pool from[1962]somewhere in my closet,unless my wife found it..she throws away everything-sigh!!
50 years ago in October 1969, this was on TV:
Marv,you are so lucky...i once was kissed by a mary,a girl i liked way back in the day was gonna give me a kiss but after i closed my eyes for the big moment,her dog[mary]gave me one in her place....she's probably still laughing over that one...yuke-dog germs!!!
Remember not getting sad when your team lost,because as a kid we just loved watching em play..and i'm talking as a lifelong[washington senators fan]i really miss that childhood innocence and spirit.
I was always sad when my teams lost. And I was always sad because the Falcons never had back-to-back winning seasons until 2009. And the Fins have been to the playoffs once in this century. Thank God for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Tar Heels' men's basketball team.
Well sports gang,looks like another-d.c.choke job,while i'm proud that the nats are in the big game,they shoulda won one game,dang this series is over...no way they win two again in houston..but great year nats-i'm still proud of ya!!
It ain't over yet, dude.
Ralpht,nats win,nats win...can you believe it??? I'm still pinching myself!!
Remember the signs in the old video stores.....Be kind and rewind! I feel old.
I chuckled at "video stores". I stream all of the movies that I watch now. Remember rushing to drop the videos into the slot by midnight to avoid paying another day's rental fee?
YOU feel old? I remember when no one in our neighbourhood had a TV in their houses. And when a cup of coffee was 5 cents and you got unlimited refills, when we still had our own comic books produced in Canada because we weren't allowed to import US comic books into Canada because of The War effort [[World War II). And I still remember when we sang "God Save The King", when King Edward was still on The Throne, before Queen Elizabeth. I still remember when The future Canadian Football League was still called "The Canadian Rugby League", and you could buy a dinner in a "sit-down restaurant" for $1.00 Canadian [[and also in USA for $1.00 US). I also remember when Newfoundland was NOT a Canadian Province, but was a separate Crown Colony of The British Empire.
At least I'm not so old yet that I still remember who I am, and how to talk, eat, and walk.
Robb,you're not old...you're classic!!
ROBB,I OFFICIALLY NAME YOU......[drumroll-trumpets]THE SAGE OF SOULFUL DETROIT!!
Thanks! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
Hey gang,how many good memories will we remember in[2020]?
Remember when all you had to worry about was catching the Chicken Pox?
Marv, I was watching the news last week and they were saying that the "older population" was at most risk from COVID-19. I was thinking that was cool until I realized that I'm probably part of the older population.
Remember when you saw gray haired people and they were your grandparents and great aunts and uncles and not your friends?
Haaaaaaaaaa.me too,now they call me-grampa-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh what happened???
Hey remember those old headboards with the sliding doors that our folks had back in the day? I don't know why i thought of that oh well just nastalgia i guess.
What's nastalgia??? Is that nasty memories that you LIKE???
What is a "headboard"??? Where I come from, a headboard is the wood board at top of the bed [[side where the pillows and the sleeper's head lies [[either connected or not to the entire wood or metal bed frame [[not connected to a metal one). I don't see how THAT kind of headbord can have sliding doors.
Haaaaaaaa,robb where i grew up there were headboards that were attached to the bed that had sliding door,where things were stored,in all this conversation here i'm surprised that nobody mentioned one.
Wow! In Europe the rooms for normal middle and upper middle class families are small, so they usually have the bed headboard against a wall. The wood bed frames may have drawers under the bed, but they almost always fill the whole length of the bed, and open from the side of the bed. That's where the linens [[comforter covers) and blankets are kept. In my many years in Canada and USA, I've NEVER seen drawers in a headboard. Are you sure you didn't mean "bedframe", which includes the boards under the mattress, and all 4 sides of the bed? The "headboard is just the board that goes behind the sleepers' heads, and is generally higher than the foot board.
Thanks marv,you so good at showing these things,would you have a pic of one so our brother robb can see it?
Remember when we could go to the park and have picnics with lots of folks,seems like just a couple weeks ago!!
Remember these turtles you could buy at places like Woolworth's?
I think they finally banned that. I would hope so. I think they carried
salmonella.
Awww poor little snappy!
