Loved, loved LOVED the Carol Burnett Show! Our family watched it faithfully and still quote some favorite bits from skits like "Went With The Wind" (her "Scarlet" in the velvet curtain fabric gown with the curtain rod still in it: "Ah saw it in the window and Ah just had to have it!"), soap...

Both of my grandmothers LOVED Lawrence Welk's show! And, oddly, wrestling and roller derby...🤔 Mom joked that no one could marry into "The King Family Singers" without passing an audition...😂

And the Ed Sullivan show! I remember the time when he hosted the Beatles - first time they appeared live on American TV, if memory serves. February 1964; I was 10 years old and just didn't get what all the fuss was about!😁

Blue, wow -- your quick thinking and practical knowledge saved your dog!!! 10 pounds of chocolate, OMG!:th😳😱 We had to rush our corgi to the vet after he ate a 12 oz. bag of semisweet chocolate chips he'd found in my daughter's room (and fortunately left the empty bag on her bed so we knew what...

Love Petula Clark! She can really act, too - she was wonderful starring with Peter O'Toole in "Goodbye, Mr. Chips", my favorite version of that story.

We LOVE Northern Exposure! Watched it faithfully when it first ran, and later got the full series on DVDs so we can re-watch when we want to. Our millennial daughters love it, too; the youngest just bought her own DVD set to share with her DH-to-be, who's done archaeology field work in Alaska so...

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH...I'm stealing it! :lau:love[Watch out, family & Facebook friends...]

Up here in the Wet North, we get huge swarms of winged carpenter ants in their mating season, swarms so thick they get all over my face & clothes while I'm just walking through the yard. 😜 Bad news critters if they start colonizing & munching on your buildings but they mostly go after deadfall...

A couple pages back (I think), someone mentioned ice cream trucks. I hope that's still a thing in some places? They seem to have faded away in the suburban neighborhoods where we and my MIL lived in areas around LA; my guess is, kids aren't running around free outside like they used to so...

This reminds me that when I first started working at our State Dept. of Transportation in 1980, people still smoked at their desks and there were official state ashtrays with the department name & logo on them. Gag! 😝😜 Open space offices that always smelled of stale cigarette smoke & stubbed-out...

Oh, yes... Mom made it a point of pride to NEVER go outside in curlers, even with a scarf tied over them. Not even to duck out to the mailbox...that's what kids are for. 😁 But a lot of gals didn't share her qualms one bit.

We had huge mounds of thatch ants. Creepy/scary seeing the zillions of them seething all over the ever-growing mounds, and their bites really hurt! Their colonies were marching along the sunny side of the road like living mountains of conifer duff, overtook the area where we have our flagpole...

Oh, yeah, I remember those! My Mom and my best friend had them...the only way to get your hair dry on curlers during those hot, HUMID summer months where we lived in Georgia. Janet used those big rollers, Mom had the sponge ones. My hair would never hold a curl no matter what, so I was spared...

So true. I still feel like it's a miracle my 2 girls survived middle school & early high school with some of the stuff they pulled after school while we were at work. Too old for after-school daycare (we lived too far from school to walk home safely) but not wise enough to recognize risky...

Oh, wow, this had me gasping 😆😂🤣 -- I had to put my cup down so I wouldn't spill!!!

Ohhhh, yes, a very well done adaptation of Harlan Ellison's dystopian science fiction story. I was working for tribble-writer David Gerrold's Star Trek business at the time the movie came out, and David & Harlan were friends, so I got to go to a special new-release screening of the movie with my...

:oops: I actually LIKED those movies! 🤭 Granted I was just out of high school and always liked creepy movies...what's not to enjoy about a huge swarm of attack-rats at your service? The theme song for the "Willard" sequel "Ben" (a sweet ballad about the lonely guy's friendship with Ben the rat...

I never EVER would have guessed that!!!! Thought maybe, some experimental meat smoker or some such...🤭

Oh, WOW, what a major blast from the past!!! Love everyone sitting on the floor or naugahide cushions, and Dick Cavett trying to look & be cool...:lau Love looking back at the fashions and hairstyles on the musicians AND the audience! And those commercials! Instant Folgers can save your...

My Eureka daughter's a Costco member; guess I'll go with her to check out their step stools - could really use a nice, steady clean one for the kitchen, at least until I learn to levitate up to the top cabinet shelves...hasn't worked so far, dang it.
