Ya, I don't think anyone meant to vote for Chad.

Nope, they all hung him!

I still have my Dad's audio tape of the moon landing.

You should find a way to archive it.

We've lived in interesting times.

We've lived in interesting times.

Indeed.
One of the many reasons I like this thread is it reminds me of that.

I fear for the future.

I fear for the future.

X2. Things keep going downhill.

I remember when I used to look forward to the next year. Now I only look forward to a few specific things a year.

I fear for the future.

Not me. I think the future holds good and promising things. It's the people that are irresponsible and refuse to grow up that are bothersome

TV stations went to static at midnight all the way into the 1980s. That was part of the premise for the 1982 Steven Spielberg movie Poltergeist.

There were many things magical about those growing up days.
KFC was such a joy to see as we did not get to have it often, just a handful of times a year.
I wore whatever my mom got for me to wear. Peanut butter and strawberry sandwich was so yummy, no mention of sugar, fat..etc. and I was skinny to the point mom took me to the doctor saying that I had worm. It was just carrying that big school bag up and down the hill to the train station and to school every day.
Life then was so interesting, friends at school, the neighbourhood kids, endless activities, food was not first thought.
