Smile, amazing how easy it is to tell it's Hendrix. That blows my mind. Does everyone like my cloud pants? I slip sometimes and say clown. They are brushed flannel and so soft and warm!

''Musing Music Alert.''

Woodstock was on VH1 the other night. It almost makes me cry. I miss the look of the 70's. At least rock and roll never went away. Kids are now starting to appreciate it. Commercials use it. I love it!

I can't get over how big the blooms are. I watered a couple of times with left over Epsom Salts water, no fertilizer, an it's maybe a 3 or 4 year old bulb.

Billy, I would think that you are way too young to "experience" Hendrix or Green Acres firsthand. Either way it's good taste.

Sorry to you & Nancy, the bagels got cold by the time you woke up.

Thanks Dave47. Is that your age or birth year? I'll be 50 in April. I don't think I saw the first shows of Green Acres. 1965. Well, maybe I did, and yep, missed the personal Hendrix experience, but caught up in my later years. Now if they just brought back Get Smart I'd be even happier!

ROTFL!! I even had my own ham to put on them.

Billy, neither. I'm 52. Jimi was alive and I loved Green Acres! It was the first show that goofed on the fact that they new it was a TV show (talking to the audience, etc) Think that's called breaking down the 4th wall.
I also own a miniature TV set (fake, it's like a key chain)) with Get Smart on the screen! You push the knob and it plays the theme song. How's that for great minds think alike! How did you feel about F Troop?

Ahhh, Dh is 54. You're experienced in the middle of us. They started GA with the very first show the other day, so I got to see it. I'll bet I thought it was boring if I saw it back then. 1965. I might have caught the original. I always wonder. I have a book of all the TV shows from 1946 to 1979. Pretty cool! Get Smart, 1965, Beverly Hillbillies, 1962. I would have been 5. I bet reruns. I remember watching the Flintstones when I was really little.

Great minds! I love it! F Troop. I watched it. The only thing I remember is the line, ''It is Balloon.'' Cracked me up then. We watched McHales Navy too.

All this talk of shows makes me hungry. DH just got home, so I think I'll join him in a snack. I do have pie.

Anybody a Dobie Gillis fan? I loved that show. Maynard G. Krebs...too funny, like, man.

I liked F Troop...the Hakowie's LOL same kind of humor as Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies. Fun TV. That's what I watch TV for...entertainment. I like to laugh and forget my day. McHale's Navy was a favorite of mine. A bit more sophistocated, but not much LOL

I'm older than you people, but I recently rented a DVD of Sgt. Bilko and loved it all over again. Phil Silvers-what a guy!

booj, I could watch those all day, too. funny, funny man

Phil Silvers, I caught some of that too. Love him!

Gilligan's Island. Dobie too old.

Flying Nun, Bewitched, Combat, Larado, Twillight Zone, Rawhide, Wagon Train, My Three Sons, Hazel, Red Skelton. So many classics. Not like most of the shows today.

Dave, it was me who had trouble with speed during very cold temps. It's going to get very cold again in a couple of days, lets see what happens.
All these old TV shows, I remember them. Howdy Doody with Annette Funichello. Sky King, Sea Hunt, Highway Patrol (Broderick Crawford was a distant relative ~ 10-4). Superman, The Sisko Kid (Hey Poncho! Hey Sisko!).
Andy P

Oh, wow, those were the daytime shows they played if I was home sick from school. Those and the (gag) soap operas.

xxxxx, Carrie

Andy, 'from out of the blue of the western sky'...hadn't thought about Sky King in a long time. loved that show. Just bought Howdy Doody and Clarabelle for the Christmas tree this year (passed on Buffalo Bob and now I wish I'd gotten him).

But you know who my all time favorite was? Roy Rogers!! My brother and I played cowboys (no Indians). He was Marshall Matt xxx (his real name, but the family called him Skip...still do) and I was Roy Rogers. NOT Dale Evans. had no use for cowgirls. I should be careful not to cause any more gender confusion here.. I'm still a girl (I was a little girl then LOL). We spent most of our allowance on caps for our guns. But we only shot bad guys. I wasn't a tomboy, wasn't tough at all. The rest of the time I played with dolls and I didn't even like to get dirty. But give me a cowboy hat and I turned into Roy :0))

So we are all dating ourselfs I see....
I liked Roy Rodgers, The Lone Ranger & Tonto,The Green Hornet, Johnnie Quest was (is) my favorite cartoon. Hated dolls and frilly things, liked dirt,(still do), give me a bag of marbles, a fishing pole and a tree to climb any day!

Gene Autry & Gabby Hayse. Wagon Train, Rawhide.
I liked westerns, lol.
I liked Dobie Gillis too, with Zelda & Maynerd G Crebbs (WORRRKK).
Andy P

I was Annie Oakley-oh how I wanted her blonde braids! I think I even had guns, holster, skirt, and vest. And I watched Hopalong Cassidy and Gene Autry, too.

There were westens everywhere at that time! Rawhide was with Clint Eastwood, right? I was a huge Rifleman fan.

A favorite comedy not yet mentioned was the Dick Van Dyke show. God, I loved that. Waited to see each episode if he would trip over the hassock. Rose Marie, Morey Amsterdam, Mary Tyler Moore and Dick.

Howdy Doody was a little before me, but I remember Sky King and Sgt. Bilko.

Tuesday Weld (from Dobie Gillis) left a lasting impression on my young mind!

Did anyone have a Winky Dink screen? Or am I mixing things up? I recently found a website with Kookla, Fran, and Ollie. Also Froggy the Gremlin from Andy's Gang ("bag of dirt") and Midnight the cat. I'm always searching for folks who remember Gerald McBoingboing. He did mygreatest dream-he could open his mouth and have the sound of a full orchestra come out. Awesome!

Little rascals, Bowery Boys

I still love old westerns. TV reruns and the old (and not so old) John Wayne movies (and Roy Rogers and the rest).

booj, I remember Gerald McBB

my favorite variety show was Danny Kaye's. although Red Skelton was pretty funny! Gertrude and Heacliff...the 2 seagulls. And Dean Martin...'I'm going over to da couch'. The Smothers Brothers were so controversial (and so funny). I had their comedy albums. they did a piece called 'Fell into a vat of chocolate' that I still think is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

I was always up early and watched The Thunderbirds http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbirds_(TV_series) . I loved H.R. Pufnstuf and all the Sid and Marty Kroft shows http://www.albany.net/~genxtv/krofft.html . I watched Sunday mornings with my grandmother which included the Little Rascals, The Bowry Boys, Abbott and Costell and Laurel and Hardy. I remember F Troop and the Brady Bunch. I would always sit for the Million Dollar Movie on the weekends which would show old Errol Flynn and Bette Davis among others' movies.

Back to pretending as kids... at a very young nursery school age, my best friend was much more worldly than I. I only watched Capt. Kangaroo and Mr. Rogers. (There wasn't anything else my mother considered appropriate. Anyway, this friend and I played Superman, but she must have introduced the idea because at that age, I really hadn't heard of much. We played Superman all the time but she always got to be Superman and I always got to be Lois Lane! It wasn't about gender or anything, it was about the dramatic challenges of the role, the fun. I NEVER got to be Superman.

Ah, Million Dollar Movie made me who I am. (They showed the same movie all week) I watched La Strada, The Spiral Staircase, and The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner about 15 times each. Did anyone watch Rootie Kazootie?

Didn't Loretta Young host a movie show? I thought she was soooo beautiful!

Funny how times change. Now a "Million Dollar Movie" is a low budget indie.

sick of seeing all these pies I can't have, I made up some of my much requested skillet cookies today.

Skillet Cookies? Recipe please.

Yes, i'm curious now too....they look yummy and chocolate????

I remember almost every show mentioned. Plus, Romper Room, My Little Margie, RinTinTin, Fury. And I had a WinkyDink screen too, Boojum!
Gram, The Loretta Young Show was a drama show--she made her famous grand entrance at the beginning of each episode. I was named after her.

Loretta

Was your sister named Lynn then ;)

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup cocoa
dash salt

in a skillet bring to low boil for 2 minutes

turn off heat, stir in:
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups oatmeal

cool for 5 minutes and spoon out on to wax paper

ok Al.....we call them "No Bake Cookies" and i love them!! Milk too please!

that's baking - what do you mean ;) Hey it's a recipe from WI without booze in it.

We always had to watch 'I Remember Mama'.
We had freezing rain over night that left everything covered. I had a hard time just getting to the car, lol. Then I broke the windshield wiper.
I mention this because I went to the auto parts store later for new wipers. The conveniently placed trash can in the parking lot was loaded with dead wipers and empty wiper boxes. LOL.
COOKIES.....
Andy P

We had 3 inches of nice white stuff here. Sorry about your ice. I adored "I remember Mama"!

5 " here boojum, but I don't remember that one.

Wow, a lot of TV before my time.

My all time favorite, always makes me laugh every time, wish they were my relation......The Three Stooges!!! I have a T-shirt with their pictures on it and their album. I LOVE them!!!

Bigcityal, No Bake Cookies, but without the peanut butter. I adore them!

I posted this on jokes and chat, but it's my least watched thread, so I'll share here. My sister found it in the yard in the 60's. We never knew where it came from. It's a Fannywacker!

gotta love the directions on it

Mom had one is the shape of a hand and it said "mom's helping hand"

It always was pretty cool. It's one of my prized possessions.

We just watched the movie "I Remember Mama." It's exellent!

Pixie, how old is yours?

I think I'm going to 'no-bake' some of Al's cookies and watch some old-time TV
