Morning all! and Happy Monday all. OK here goes...
Thanks to everyone who offered some advice!
I'll be sending Torontoboy a PM later on.

Thanks for the heads up about the Taxi bwayaddict.

Beacon and DAME don't think we'll be hitting the casinos or drag shows, family vacation.

Love museums Zola we'll be checking them out.

NYadgal we aren't quite ready to plan the "Sweet 16" yet Erin is still undecided between Hairspray and Movin' Out. She also doesn't mind waiting for really great seats. Oh and by the way ... My lips were always blue as a chid (still are but now it's because of low BP!)

Undiscovered... I am one mom who loved glitter and playdough! I even didn't mind the mess too much.

I hope I didnt forget anyone. Thanks again!! Hugs all around.

Some silly songs that just popped into my head:

Spill the Wine
Chick a Boom.
Mama told me not to come.

Why is that it's always silly songs like these that get stuck in your head??? "Chick a boom, Chick a boom, don't you just love it?Chick a boom, chick a boom, don't you just love it?Chick a boom, chick a boom, don't you just love it?... Chick a boom, chick a boom boom boom." Figured if this is stuck in my head why not share..LOL !!!

gee, thanks...

I was humming Jimmy Buffet's 'Come Monday' all morning...now I'll have chick a boom stuck in my brain. Goodie.

I was in a Croce mood last night - Operator, Photographs & Memories...hadn't listened to him in a while.

My favorite of Croce's was "Lovers Cross" don't know why, but something about that song would get an 'instant replay' from me.

Mominator.

LOVE the new signature (Super Chicken!)

I was hearing Boz Scagg's "Lido Shuffle" and "It's Over" in my head over the weekend.

Songs with days of the week:
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT!
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT!

Whatever happened to the Bay City Rollers...

Who knows??? Did anyone ever call them the Gay City Rollers like all the straight little boys in my Hood who found that so funny??? They must be "gay" because they didn't dress like them.

I used to love Shrinky Dinks, but the fun ended shortly after they shrunk. I also made about a thousand potholders with one of those plastic looms. I started hook rugs that I never finished. Does anyone remember that silly yarn contraption? You thread yarn around these hooks and turn a crank and this little thing defecates useless knotted yarn. You were supposed to be able to make all sorts of knitted items, but it would take hundreds of balls of yarn and several years to make anything.

Did anyone learn to tell time on the Teeter-Totter watch?

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 8/9/04 at 11:49am

I do remember that yarn thing.

I learned to tell time on a clock I made in school with a paper plate.

Thanks beacon!! I don't know why Super Chicken came to mind.

MM Only tried Shrinky Dinks one and the smell was just to ickky. I remember the Yarn Bobby as well. I also remember the watch you're talking about, but my mom taught me how to tell time.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 8/9/04 at 12:19pm

...apparently I don't tell time very well anymore, because I seem to fixed in Play time! (one of these days I'll get back to work!!) Or Drink time...

The big hand and the little hand...

Now it's all digital. I've seen kids struggling to read a face clock...those I would think old enough to do so.

One of my friends says her oldest son was very stumped about how to use a dial telephone. He'd never seen one. (It was an old payphone.)

And, learning to tie shoes with the rabbit running around the tree...

Just laughing thinking about..did any of you ladies have a Peebles Flintstone doll...she had a bone in her hair. Well I took my sister's doll and cut the hair right above the bone. The doll was never the same after that...my Mother wanted to kill me because my sister wouldn't stop screaming. I thought she looked very Chic.

I remember the yarn, loom thing. Also the string art where you placed pins on a black velvet board in designated places then wove colored string to create a 3D art project. Did anyone do those?

[Mister Matt]

Posted: 8/9/04 at 2:41pm

I loved the string art. I always wanted to do one. I still think they look cool.

I'm sure that there are still many hanging on rumpus room walls throughout America. Hey, my parents just got rid of their blue and green shag carpeting from 1972.

[Bobby457]

Posted: 8/9/04 at 2:48pm

ok....how many did a macrame hanging at least once in their life?

[Nina]

Posted: 8/9/04 at 2:51pm

No pun intended but, I could never get the hang of doing macrome. It never came out right when I tried.

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 8/9/04 at 2:52pm

I confess! But, I did more macrame wrist and ankle bracelets, with beads!

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 8/9/04 at 2:55pm

Can we please have a moment of silence for Faye Wray who has passed away today.

[mominator]

Posted: 8/9/04 at 2:56pm

Nina I couldn't do macrame either. I still love thwe idea of a fresh brand new coloring book and an unopened box of 96 Crayola colors! Such good times.....

[Bobby457]

Posted: 8/9/04 at 2:59pm

I was good at it....I think my mother still has the one I made....it won a blue ribbon at the county fair....ok...now you know, I was raised a red-neck! can you hear the banjos?

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 8/9/04 at 3:02pm

Hear the banjo's. Hell, I learned to clog to them. Bet you didn't live in a trailer like I did, though.

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 8/9/04 at 3:03pm

Does anyone care that Faye Wray died??? Remember her in the palm of the ape??? King Kong????

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 8/9/04 at 3:04pm

Boobs, it's very sad. Are we up to the standard three celebrities yet? I know Rick James and Miss Wray...did I miss the third?

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 8/9/04 at 3:10pm

Can we count Reagan with them???
