Gene Wilder, ONLY! None better. His sarcasm was sublime! (I won't watch the remake, and I didn't even KNOW there was a third one...)



We went to visit the Nabisco factory, and got to sample freshly baked saltine crackers. OMG! They were SO delicious! Once they cool down, they're not nearly as tasty as warm from the oven.



Or you got FIRED! ;)



I still have my mother's electric knife. It still works, but I don't use it anymore. Too hard to clean it up, and a regular knife works just as well. But I still have that electric knife, go figure.



I know, I know! LOL! That old lady was so cute!

I used to think the rabbits feet were fake when I was little, until I felt their little claws on their toes.
Does anyone know if hunters hunted for the rabbits and sold the rabbits feet? I mean where did the stores get them from? I truly don't know and always wondered where they got them from. Did 'they' just kill the rabbit for this purpose? Did anyone actually eat the meat and harvest the fur than sell their feet? How did this work out?
Who used to carry one of these

People raise rabbits for food. They sell the pelts. The feet are left over parts they found a market for.

I am glad I found this
for months I have been tryin to find model car paint (waterproof) and everywhere we went they looked at us like we were crazy and said those went out a loooong time ago.
Actually these model kits taught young kids roughly how engines and bodies go together, kinda like kindergaurden for future mechanics.
Far better than them playin video games all day ;) ;) ;)
I wanted a flourecent pink to re-paint my bobbers so I can see them when I fish

But anyway I loved puttin these model cars together

The rotary dials were a pain compared to the push button phones, especially when you'd get a busy signal. The, wait 5 minutes and try again, hoping their phone is not off the hook.

Speaking of off the hook: I had gotten so sick of being bugged by my ex, I unplugged my phone (in the mid 1990s). It was 3 weeks before I plugged it back up, but it was the most peaceful 3 weeks I had in a long time back then.

I have one, too, and an iron! I don't use it much anymore because living on a farm, things don't have to be so neat. No need to iron my jeans and t-shirts. ;) But I have it in case I ever need it.


"Please don't squeeze the Charmin!" ROFL! Ah, those were the days! Now I have to watch commercials about "dude wipes?" O.M.G.
