Did you have one of these. Used to cost 20 cents. Lasted about 30 minutes.

If you had a Sonic near you, do you remember these trinkets they put on drink cups? They discontinued them due to choking hazard. I loved those things.

I remember those! Zoo Piks! I had a lot of monkeys, but only one giraffe! Funny how silly little simple things like these could amuse us for hours….

A group of us were sitting around chatting about our favorite Christmas gifts from long ago, and these popped up into the conversation. I had hours of fun with colorforms!

Can you imagine trying to place this in the hands of kids now? The kids who are used to video games, and phones?

I loved Colorforms! Such a simple concept to keep creative thinking alive in a child.

If you remember these 12 things, you're definitely a baby boomer

I just had to share this with everyone!

Check out not only the cars, but the clothes! Bell bottoms! Cords! And what appears to be a poncho! Good times.

(I’ve driven down this street (Lombard) - it’s the touristy thing to do at least once in San Francisco.)

Fun!

I remember those well.. The standard rocker was the comfortable predecessor to the 4 poster Canadian glider style.. Made in America,extremely comfortable and decently priced.. Takes me back to my rookie days on a sales floor.. Thanks so much Dave..

Here is one to remember -

My goldfish froze in their bowl. And it got so cold in our house, the water in our toilet bowl froze.

About to get another one - but I am pretty sure we should be better prepared although I am NOT sleeping in the room next to my neighbors pine trees - mine have been removed,

Good luck everybody in the track -

This video actually recalls the nightmare of the new year's blizzard of 2022 here in VA. That's when hundreds of motorists got trapped on I-95 for hours right here in my county. We were without power and water (well -- electric pump) for five days. The damage was devasting around here. An electric pole snapped and blocked access on the only road out of here. People stuck on our side would drive to the blockage and hand off gas cans to peeps on the other side to go get fuel for generators.

The shed furkids have heated beds (which will be useless if we lose power), but keeping fresh water instead of ice blocks is an ongoing operation. If I could get them to come inside, I would.

I am NOT looking forward to tonight.
