A Good Blogthing...
I don't usually enjoy the blogthing stuff- I don't really care what kind of car I am, what my chocolate says about me, or what Wizard of Oz character I am. But this was a neat one: What Happened the Year I was Born:

I have Valley of the Dolls and saw the movie. It's....an amazing movie on a lot of different levels.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I was in 6th grade.....
ReplyDeleteI wasn't even born yet. =P
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know... I'm getting old! Chris turns 22 on Saturday and he's talking about feeling old. I said "hey- 22 years ago I was 22! Get over it!"
ReplyDeletePfah. You're not old. You're only a few years older than I am...and Art is still a decade older than you! lol!
ReplyDeleteYou're as young as you feel! Or as old! Happy Birthday to Chris!
ReplyDeleteI had to steal this for my page =D
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Chris!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Chris
ReplyDeleteI was in first grade!! What a rush of memories that evoked..I can still smell the cafeteria, Miss Hanyak's perfume and Glen K.err's feet. It was the first time that I heard the word "cooties". I also, heard another phrase while on the "big kids" bus that caused me to get my mouth washed out when I said it to my grandmother. Oh, those were the good ole days!!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm not old- I don't feel old- but old is getting closer and closer each year!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen!
Steal away, Dave.
Thanks for the birthday wishes for Chris! (He also needs some "find a job" wishes while you're at it!)
It is fun to look back, Susan. I don't remember a lot about 1st grade- stubbing my toe on a tree on the school playground (repeatedly), getting in trouble for drinking out of the water fountain (true story!), being bored at reading time because I could read and some couldn't, having a wack job for a teacher- I knew it, and mom tells me now that she knew it), and seeing a magician in person for the first time. Well, I guess I have more memories than I thought!
Tee Hee - I wasn't born yet either - Great movie - Good, Bad and Ugly. I like those Clint Eastwood movies. We watched Star trek every Sunday aftenoon, right after the movie hour(can't remember what they called it now) with Tom Hatton (I think that was his last name).
ReplyDeleteI'm so going to blog this on my page too! Nice!!
ReplyDelete1966, I was nine, LOL!
I don't remember all those things but I do remember what John Lennon said and what it did around the USA. Some cities had bonfires burning Beatle albums. It was crazy and ironically enough he was right about their popularity around the world.
