Do You Remember?

I recently received an email called "Childhood Memories" that included some photos of items from my childhood. I have to admit, I had forgotten some of them.

 I was dependent on the these spindles to play my 45's or I would have to be very accurate when placing the record on the turntable (which I wasn't). If it was off, the sound would drag and drive me crazy!


My Grandmother used to bring S and H green stamps back from the grocery store every week. Then she would lick them and put them in the stamp book. The coolest thing was that she got to trade them in for merchandise. She was so happy when she got a pressure cooker with them. It took a lot of stamps!!!


Was there any other kind of ice tray? Weren't they all metal? It was still difficult to get the ice out because sometimes it was just too hard to lift that handle and break the cubes loose.

I actually still have one (in the original box)! I wonder if it still works? Can you get film for them? Can you still buy flash bulbs? I know you can still buy Jiffy Pop! I saw it in the grocery store just yesterday.

 Of course, this was just the best thing of all!!!! It's what we spent our pennies on after school everyday. You can still get some of the candy itself, but you can't get it for a penny.

These were my very favorite! You can still buy these! The quality is not the same (nothing is), but they are still good. You can get quite a few of the old penny candy items from Oldtime Candy

I remember the Avon Lady coming to our house and I remember this commercial. Now, my sister is The Avon Lady. The products are still good. Have you checked out Avon products lately? They've come a long way! Get some from her website.The Avon Lady

My sister found this free audio book from Podiobooks.com.

Macabre fiction. Horror fiction. Dark fiction. Whatever you choose to call it, that is what is contained within this collection of short stories. But other than that, these tales are as varied as can be. Ghost stories... they're in there. Lovecraftian monsters... certainly. Twist endings... got it. Psychological terror... of course. Sunny, happy endings... not so much. Oh, and one other thing these stories have in common: they are intended for a mature audience- one who is not easily offended, I might add.

I can't vouch for it because I haven't listened to it yet. I'm concerned about that last sentence in the description. I'm not sure if it's warning of content or language.

A few weeks ago, I saw the YouTube video of the 3-year old little girl crying over Justin Bieber. I was just shocked. She's only 3! I didn't hear anyone else talk about it, but my daughter did. Apparently, a lot of people were talking about it.

I recently caught the follow-up video where she actually got to meet Justin, courtesy of Jimmy Kimmel. I just love a happy ending.

Football and Avon

Today is a big football day. The teams to play the Superbowl will be determined. Last week, my cute little red-headed grandson, Tommy, did a great job at choosing the winners. That being the case, here's Tommy's picks for today.

Game #1: New York Jets vs Indianapolis Colts
Mark Sanchez is Quarterback for the Jets
Peyton Manning is Quarterback for the Colts




Tommy Picks the JETS




Game #2: New Orleans Saints vs Minnesota Vikings
Drew Brees is Quarterback for the Saints
Bret Favre is Quarterback for the Vikings





Tommy Picks the VIKINGS



We will see if Tommy is right again.....




"Rookie QB Mark Sanchez knows the Jets' fate rests in his hands" reads the headlines for The Palm Beach Post

He signed with the Jets ◊6/10/09. Can he get the Jets to the big game?

...... Remember in 1969 when ........

Tommy may be young, but he's got that jersey. His Grandma gave it to him!

Amish Friendship Bread

My sister gave me some Amish Friendship Bread. If you don't know what it is, it's kind of like sour dough. You have to feed it regularly. At the end of 10 days, you divide it into 4 parts and give away some, keep some and bake some.

I'm taking it to work today after baking it last night. I placed it on a paper plate to slice it before I wrapped it in foil for travel. I didn't realize how "elegant" this photograph would look. Ha! Ha! You can start your Amish friendship from here.

My sister is also selling Avon. If you buy Avon, please consider buying from her. Did I just spam myself?
