Hello Everyone, lets get back to having some fun on the boards.

Smart phones are too smart for their own good - they can even dial someone while in my pocket This never once happened when I had a flip phone lol!

Nothing like flipping your phone on and suppressing the urge to say "Beam me up Scotty".  

I know they are pretty much economically and militarily unviable but just nothing like them.

I know there are still a few around but they've almost gone the way of the dinosaur.  I loved the all night horror or scifi a-thons.  And the bad concession stand food.  And the terrible sound.  And the lame intermissions.  And playing pranks on friends.  And there was no better place to make out with your favorite girl.  And getting in the back seat...  Ah, those were the days.

I still have some of those personal cursive handwritings dating from more than two decades ago.  Whenever I read them, it is as if the persons who wrote  them are right there with me. I can almost see them, hear them, touch them, feel them. Priceless

I dream of Jeanie-thank you Barbra Eden for a young guy's fantasy.Agree with Jimmie- Keith and John but would add Janis.As a perv mini skirts please. Cheers from the lake.

Re: Close Encounters? (eom)

Caylee, you are awesome.  LOL.
Well played goodlady.

At least we still have his music. Nothing more metal than a rainbow in the dark!

EOM

The Iowa and the Missouri were a grand sight.  The British had some great ones, the HMS Hood and the HMS Prince of Wales, then the Bismark.  

Time to get in on my own thread.  Pantyhose on a woman are a sexy thing. Especially tan shade.  That is the only reason I visit Hooters, because it is not for the quality of the food.  A Hooters waitress has always been a fantasy.  There was a gal decking out in the M&G is a classic look. She was a looker.  Yep, the gal is on my very short list.

Not full blown shag carpeting, and surely you know I'm not talking housewares either.  But a neatly trimmed mons is sexy as hell, and a select few still have that.  Just wishing it was more naturally present these days, as it used to be.

It's a lost art, and a damned shame.  Nowadays if we can't click "Like" then it is just too damned hard to get it done.  I love the expressive nature of the hand written letter.

Come on, Joi - we have plenty of excellent examples to mold our lives around.

And a classic, beautiful dress. Add some pearls and it is back to Mad Men. Love the styles of that show. Love me some Mrs. Caylee.  

maybe a Rand McNally road Atlas.

Now we have F-bombs, P-words, N-words, C-words, and various other lettered cursed and politically correct words because "it's Offensive".  

I'm with you on that one.  There's nothing like holding a map to bring out your manly sense of adventure.  It takes me back to when going somewhere actually was a challenge.

Do not think the media should decide what is correct or not correct.

My bad,
 with all of the prime examples you gave, I forget that it's probably just me that thinks these new celebs such as the ones you so pointedly reminded me of are the new norm. How on earth did I ever think or miss the basic concept of actually using a brain would be a process lost on so many. I guess, I'm just weird, ugggh xoxo (--)

Come on, Joi - we have plenty of excellent examples to mold our lives around.  
   
 We have the humility of the Kardashians, the shining wit of the Honey Boo Boo brood, and the sage wisdom of those Duck Dynasty guys.  Not to mention the staunch moral fiber of the Duggar clan.  Oh, and that guy Chumlee from Pawn Stars -  he has a firm grip on reality.  
   
 What more could you possibly need?  
   
 

what do you mean by that!? How dare you tell me that FB, Twitter, IG, fox, cnn, msnbc and the likes have no idea about truth. Everything I read and see on those sites are true, hell, I know because it's written down by someone and read/liked/retweeted by many. You act as if they are just spewing lies and hysteria for ratings and followers. I for one would just die if I didn't get my opinions from the social/media.

This thread was taken on last week on the Carolina board.  I thought it quite good so I brought it here.

I could list a LOT more blues greats that have passed.

Dude you need to come to Philly - see link for details.

I don't know if I'm old enough to have experienced a bygone era, but..

Arcade rooms

That's funny one day recently I realized I did too,  a number of years ago working the Clubs here in Atlanta, I shaved imy moneymaker alll but a landing strip and kept that for year. Until I recently  read a magazine article that said the lack therof though initially heightened sensation that over a period of time that it was desensitizing.  So I recently grew back a very short neatly trimmed soft down and OH MY GOD I am feeling sensations I had forgotten about and I LOVE IT.
