I'm so old I Remember when:

[Nomadicus]

I know the place and what happened.
Not old enough to know exactly what was going on at the time but learned about it later.

I had business in that town within months of the incident and strangers were still treated with great suspicion. You felt like your ever move was under scrutiny.

This is a link to the full movie made for television 10 years after the incident.

Hollywood took a lot of liberties with the true story behind the Skidmore incident. Wiki has a true timeline of all the bully did that is public legal documented information including the times he shot people.

I'm so old I remember an event that took place 113 miles from where I lived on July 10th, 1981. Anyone else remember Skidmore, MO?

I just now looked it up, first I heard about it.

I don't know if anyone as leaked anything as of now. It was in our news for days. Even the feds came in and learned nothing. The town had been living in fear for their lives and his lawyer kept getting him released.

It especially applied to Christmas cards. I don't believe it is an option any more.

Back when people used to send dollar bills ...go figure.

I've heard plenty of youtubers say dead without any consequences.

It's usually someone discussing conspiracy theory in the comments which likely explains the missing posts.

But I'm so old (apparently) I still remember when you could say "Merry Christmas" at the store and get a reply.

I still remember when things were "Merry Christmas".

I still remember when things were "Merry Christmas".

There was a brief time early in my young adulthood when I worked for a large corporation, underwhich we were told to say happy holidays instead. But then our clients would wish us Merry Christmas so what are you gonna do?

But in recent years, this seems to be dying out in the corporate retail operations despite the fact Christmas incredibly commercialized... So yeah come get all your Christmas stuff! But if you wish anyone a Merry Christmas that's a no no?
