I'm so old I Remember when:

[Nomadicus]

Those things that invade your mind at 3am.... Well I had a most pleasant reminder at about that time this morning but it has gone back into hiding somewhere on a dusty shelf in the gray matter. I'm gonna take a nap and just maybe it will will fall off that shelf and let me grab it when it does.

Quick before it runs off again. I don't think this has been discussed or cussed but back in my day at lunch time we were fed what the government hat to much of on hand. Peanut butter and American cheese most often. I think there were others and must have been understanding the system now a little better. First it was just peanut butter that was kind of square and 4-5" long like a soft candy bar. I got a lot of those cause some kids just didn't know what they were and if they didn't know they wouldn't take a chance on it. Then the American cheese was served the same way. In a same sized stick. There must have been a lot of surplus canned spinach too. Even Popeye couldn't get kids to eat what we had but I cleaned up on it. Didn't even have to trade anything on my plate for it. We actually got some really good fish sticks back then too. Nothing like the crap sold as fish now. I can still see the bartering and horse trading we did to get more and better on our plates. I'd trade a carton of milk for a meat and a vegetable or even more when I could. Image businessmen by the first grade.

Who can forget when the world learned that milli vanilli in fact did not sing the songs on thier album including blame it on the rain. Man that was a rough day for me.

I'm a guy.
How would I know anything about vacuums?

I did suppose you've used a vacuum sometime in your life.

I'm sure I have in my young and foolish days but I don't recall much about them at this point.
I've lived on hardwood and ceramic tile for the last 15 years now.
I do remember the kirbys from when I was a kid. They were powerful and loud. They also had a crap ton of available attachments, that I remember.

I've heard that wisdom comes with experience.
I feel overloaded with experience, but seemingly scant in wisdom.
Maybe it's just me that learns wisdom in the most difficult of ways.

Fair enough.

I remember when burgers did not come with a health disclaimer.

Is there anything in CA that doesn't cause some kind of cancer? Wood does, Stainless Steel does...
Surgical Instruments must come with a disclaimer because they are made from Stainless Steel. CYA at it's finest.
