Remember back then there were THREE, count 'em, THREE channels?!?

I guess we can tell how old some of us are if we remember that
And yes, I do.

A little dab will do ya….a dab of what?

Yep Brylcreem. I remember using that way back in the 60's.

Bummer on the NB shoes Micro. We've been buying them for years. DW likes a style we can buy from LL Bean, no problems so far but we will pay attention to quality in the future! She wears them at work so needs new ones 3 or 4 times a year. Lots of walking even though she is in the P.O.

Funny story a couple of days ago. The current owner of an inn in town came into the P.O. with a letter he had just received. It was postmarked last month in California and had a 22 cent stamp on it. Now we all know the current price of a stamp is WAY more than 22 cents now. What was in the envelope? A request for a reservation. The date on the letter? 1988!!!!!! Where the heck has THAT envelope been hibernating?

I got one better than that. One day at the office we get a letter from my husband's professional insurance company telling us that his policy was set to expire in 24 hours because they didn't get the latest installment for it. We both went into panic mode. I walked the check over to the post office personally and put it in the slot there so I knew I had mailed it.

I called the company, gave them a credit card number to cover the installment, called the bank and put a stop payment on the check and then walked over to the post office to mail a package. I mentioned the missing check which was for a sizeable amount and asked her if they could put a trace on it. Oh, she laughed, it's probably stuck in the bottom of a mail bag somewhere. My expression was....The check never did surface.

It looks like I watched a lot of TV back in the 70s, but really, I didn't.

If you can't trust Prestone, who can you trust?

Oh, she laughed, it's probably stuck in the bottom of a mail bag somewhere.

I worked in shipping for a long time. We would get those white baskets from USPS to stack our outgoing 9x13 mail in. No fewer than 4 times in about 18 months did I find an envelope in the bottom of one of those baskets.

Anybody here remember "Bicentennial Minutes" leading up to July 4th, 1976? As the day approached, some big names did the narration of what event happened. There was speculation as to who would do THE BIG ONE on the fourth.

Walter Cronkite. And he ended the 3 minute segment with, "And that's the way it was, July 4th, 1776."
