I remember asking my folks why the TV Guide said a show was "In Color" but it was still black and white on our TV set.

We were late to get a color TV too. Was very exciting when we got our first one.

Speaking of TV Guide...

This one has the TV show Good Times on the cover. Was one of Norman Lear's shows. Good Times was a spin-off of Maude, which itself was a spin-off of All in the Family.

Remember JJ's famous saying? Dy-No-Mite!

Check out that price; a whole quarter.

Listening to podcasts and watching YouTube videos featuring dialogue (tutorials, unboxing, presentations): lots of nowadays teenagers set "Playback speed" (settings) at 1.5x to 2x because the "normal" playback speed setting is "for old people".

I might be in that category but I'm still going to try that. I usually use the time bar to find the part I want but that can be hit/miss.

YKYOW you swing a hammer a few times (more than a few if I'm honest) and get a cramp -- in your elbow! Happened to me yesterday whilst wrangling the rear air springs out of the kombi. What a dirty, thankless mess of a job it was too. I assumed I had pulled a muscle, but the pain subsided after a few minutes -- whew!

This was mine:



Had to put a piece of tape over the speaker hole because the volume was TOO LOUD!

Yeah, that Gul was about 4"X4". NOTHING stealthy about it!

Or me lighting a Marlboro. Filthy disgusting habit that kills people. Glad they’re not standard equipment in cars anymore.
