Middle Aged Memories

Is he the one who had Topo Gigo - not that I'm sure I can spell correctly.

 Yes, you do wonder about all those military shows made into sit-coms. I sure wish the shows my kids liked were even half as well written as all the ones we grew up with. Now the parents are always stupid - if they are even around and it just seems to be non-sense. Where ever if our shows were not reality there was something to learn or a point of view or some sort of statement or something to think about rather than just getting away with destroying things or embarrassing friends or parents and such. I have tried to get my kids to watch some of the old shows but I guess they are too dated for this instant gratification generation which is very sad. They will try and will humor me but that is about it - they don't actually like it. I did however take my son to see "The King's Speech". He went and was OK about it. Afterwards he said he was really surprised how much he really liked the movie and thought it was really good and not boring like he thought it would be. So there is hope yet!

Senor Wences!   He [edit: the puppet] looks a little like Charro in the face.  Aha-ha-ha!

Oh shoot - I should just go to bed. I thought you meant the man not the puppet! Well, how embarrassing!!! Whoops! Ummm yes I do see the resemblance with the puppet...... sigh.

Wow, middle aged....I suppose I am, lol, looking at a lot of these things...

blue mascara, blue eyeshadow, satin vests, roller skating every Friday night...going back further, radio shack science kits, barbie airplane, playing jacks outside and putting on plays with the neighborhood kids : )

Stanzie, I thought she was talking about the man, too.

I loved topo gigio.....my grandmother would let me stay up late to watch.....

When my first child was born I got two nights in the hospital.  By the time my last came, I was in the hospital 12 hours from arrival, birth to discharge.  In my mother's day, a normal birth gave you a minimum of a week in the hospital.  I have no idea what a C-section would give you.

I knew a few people who took that training.  It brought them some awareness, but I was cynical even back then and it seemed hokey to me.

When I was looking at some Valentine's Day images, I found this and remembered how once "Crazy Straws" came out, I did not use a straight straw for years.

DH and I Picked up the first year of SNL and began watching it.  Wow, was I surprised what current events were mentioned and how much the humor can still make us laugh.

Look how pretty they used to be...
