One time I saved all my bottles 'til I had quite a few and then redeemed them for 5 cents apiece only to find that about two weeks later the return rate had been raised to 10 cents a bottle. :ohbrother: :rage: :down: :banghead: :arghh: :sour: :( :cry:

 

Remember when car bodies were made of this stuff called....................METAL?

 

Drove a '62 Ford Falcon in high school, pull choke, 4 doors, built like a tank and drove like one too!

Remember when MLB relief pitchers rode from the bullpen to the mound in some sort of golf cart that resembled a helmet or baseball?

 

I remember growing up (70's), that we would leave our storm door open at night with just the screen door door closed.

 

Remember ON PLUS TV ? If you didn't have the descrambler box, you would watch and every once in a while, the fuzzy line would shift just long enough to catch a nipple?

 

Remember filling up your tank for $5.00?

The Big Chief restaurant in the Newport shopping center?

Remember when Don Weber covered High School sports and they had a clip 10 minutes til every hour on ICN-6

Remember when the only thing on TV Sunday mornings worth watching was The Monkees or The Three Stooges

Remember this week in baseball and the game of the week

Remember Wide World of Sports and the Disney movie of the week

 

Add the Notre Dame football hour show on Sunday mornings.

Remember when just about every phone was a Nokia, except for the business man on the go that needed that Blackberry that doubled as an organizer.

 

I remember the division of Nokia, a Finnish based multinational conglomerate, that came to make the Nokia cell phones, Kinex Corporation. They brought me to Florida as an engineering assistant when they were still making high speed modems, 4800 and 9600 bps, at a little plant on Bryan Dairy Road in Clearwater.

 

After I left, the Kinex division became Nokia Marita, got out of the modem business, and started developing and producing cell phones in the late 80's.

The only thing I miss about Nokia cell phones is playing snake on them.

Ah, the Screeching Eagle.

--Remember when the weekend was planned around when you went to church, and not vice versa?

 

Remember? To this day, It's still my M.O.

Remember? To this day, It's still my M.O.

 

I took that to mean you went to the same Mass every week and THEN planned around it.

 

Nice thing about being Catholic in NKY is that you can attend Mass all around Cincinnati/NKY on either Saturday or Sunday. We often incorporate a Saturday Mass downtown Cincinnati around our evening plans in town.

 

I don't look at that as a negative about today.

Taking the ferry to Coney Island.
