For me it was both Barbara Feldon on Get Smart and Emma Peale on The Avengers. What fantasies they both inspired. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 3, 2019 Remember the original airing of Three's Company in the late 70's. We kids had a running argument on who was funnier: Mr. Roper or Mr. Furley. Furley for me. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, we had friends in Janesville, WI that had a motorized antenna on their roof. You turned it via a control to get either the Milwaukee, Madison or Chicago stations. I thought it was soooo cool. My parents had a motorized antenna as a kid. I had forgot about it. Then we had the big satellite dish later on. Cable wasn't available until after I got out of college. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had the motorized antenna too, but my aunt down the road had the old C-Band satellite dish, the big ones that looked like it was scanning the skies for the Russian bombers. That was great, because you got the same feeds that the local stations did, without commercials. So watching the nightly news, the talking heads would "cut to commercial", you'd hear the director say they're off the air, then they'd start picking their nose, scratching themselves, etc. Funny stuff! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 5, 2019 Yeah my dad got the giant dish a couple of months before the signals started getting scrambled. I would watch the Playboy channel late at night after my folks went to sleep. It was a sad day once it was scrambled. You could see images but they were all different swirling colors. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Today I decided to put on the United States Top 50. Didn't know one damn song. Lol. Not only that, I didn't like one song either. I just kept thinking...damn I'm getting old. Also thinking... damn I'm glad I didn't grow up in this generation. Also thinking...Damn saying that makes me sound old. 😂🤷♀️👍👩🦳 I went to the gym early this morning, only older peeps in the gym at 530am on a Sunday. The music that was being played was literally making my head hurt. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying to get back in a gym routine this week. You're another motivation.👏 You need to have headphones at the gym. Only YOU know what music motivates you, and gets you in your perfect workout groove. 💙 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 7, 2019 For obvious reasons I have never opened this thread. a couple of weeks back I was walking into a convenience store and a young guy (18 or 19) on his way out held the door for me. I said thank you as I walked in and the little bastard said "anytime pops" , I was all the way in before I realized what he had said. thinking back it was early in the morning and the sun was in his face walking out. I'm sure he just didn't get a good look at me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 10, 2019 One word... Technology. From being the only kid in the house able to set the Betamax clock and settings back in the day, to always being the "go to" guy for computers, and auto technology... Never thought I would fall behind the curve! Inevitably I am now asking "why is my phone doing this" or "how do I change this?" to those many years younger... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 19, 2019 Me? I lost a lot when I fractured my ankle and tore some tendons while..... dumb ass drum roll.....watering plants.(They were Snap Dragons, so that makes my injury cool) I've been laid up since June 6. Seven weeks in "the boot". Another 3 weeks with a cane like I had a bent sticker bush crammed up my ass. No Harley riding, no working in the yard like I like to do, no walking for more than a couple hundred feet per day no being on my feet for only a few minutes per attempt........Bad stuff.... The days I feel good, I pay for it in spades the next day all swelled up and sore as Hell.. On the plus side. At least I'm walking, that's a very good thing. I've been a big, strong man my whole adult life. This has given me a new perspective and has been a very humbling experience.I guess my point is this: Never take for granted the things you have been blessed with, they can be taken away in an instant, your doing or not. To all of my friends here, stay well and happy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
