    The general decline in standards today

    One of the biggest problems is lack of parenting. And its not for a lack of wanting to be a good parent. I grew up in the 80's and became a research sociologist (criminologist specifically) and the biggest issue is wages. Most parents, even in two parent homes, work 2 jobs just to "make...

    Sears might be going belly up

    its sad to see them go. I remember when we would get christmas toy catalogue in the early '80s. It had everything a boy of 10 could dream of, toys tools, and scantily clad ladies. Then they bought K-Mart and started showing up in malls. I went to the old state Street sears in salt lake...

    I remember when.....

As for my first taste of moxie, I had that at a halloween party in Portland in 1994 and gagged. After that i asked who made the witches brew b/c...

    I remember when.....

    I still have five or six of those unused things at my moms house in Pittsburgh. Some still in the original "apo, ny" boxes that they came in. I was (un)lucky enough to have been with my parents stationed in Munich at that time. Funny thing is Gramma Truedl (a former card carrying...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    how about comfortable bench seats in cars. I hate the gadget box in between the two front seats. makes it hard to canoodle that loved one on the off chance you find a real drive-in movie theater, of which i only know of the Saco Drive-in in Saco Maine.
