I remember going to see a Cinerama movie about in 1960 - 1962. Went twice. Tampa, FL.

We would LOVE to pay a local kid to weedwack our yard. We don't have a lawn (we're in the desert), just dirt. Crazy weeds spring up after a rain and grow to about 3-4' tall. Then they immediately die, leaving us with yards that are full of dead, stickery, tall brown weeds that need to go!

I guess kids don't do that kind of thing anymore. When did kids stop needing pocket money? Do parents just pay for everything now?

I saw it in the theater when it first came out.

I hate to sound cliché but the books were much better.
I read each Ian Fleming novel (except Chitty Chitty Bang Bang). Here was the world's coolest guy at a time when there was little excitement or glory in men's life's in post-WWII Britain. You could live his hopes and fears and know his favorite drink "dry vodka Martini--shaken, not stirred," and his favorite eggs, Marans.

Never heard of this. Then again, 1931 was WAY before my time!

No, I was just trying to be funny. That is an ad from the actual Speigel catalog a promotion they had and they use those graphics catalog. My mom used to buy a dresses through Speigel.

Why use that when we have the amazon? Too bad they don't ship trees so I can make a mini rainforest for the chooks.

Do some states still give you credit for returned glass soda pop bottles?
