I always loved Rocky and Bullwinkle! It was really clever - episodes like "The Search for the Kerwood Derby" and "The Ruby Yacht of Omar Khayyam". And of course, Bullwinkle was from Frostbite Falls, Minnesota - I think that was just north of where I…

I can go even farther back with Gail Storm - does anyone remember My Little Margie? Here's a few more from the "early days" - Our Miss Brooks with Eve Arden December Bride with Spring Byington I Remember Mama (but I don't remember who starred in it…

That was the "Do Bee", who taught kids to be good "Do Bees" by following the rules, like "Do Bee a play-safe, don't be a match toucher". I can't remember any of the others, but for some reason, that one stuck with me. I still hear people use the ter…

The end of the song: The chest is here, but wait ... Where are those gold dubloons and pieces of eight, pieces of eight, peices of eight?

The original Mickey Mouse Club, with Karen, Cubby, Annette, the serial shows ("The Search for Applegate's Treasure", "Corky & White Shadow") - I can still sing most of the theme songs (each day was a different theme - Tuesday was Guest Star Day,…

I remember it well - it was done in imitation of the old Rudy Vallee style of singing through a megaphone, and it sounded as if it had been recorded on a cylinder phonograph. It predated a version of "Puttin' on the Ritz" that was done in a similar …

Okay, while we're talking about old, bad songs, does anyone remember Alan Sherman's "Hello, Muddah, Hello Faddah" - his homesick camper song set to a classical tune? Well, the flip side of that one was a ditty called "Here's to the Crabgrass" - a s…

The flip side of this 45 was the same "rap" played backward!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-27-03 AT 08:37AM (CST)[/font][p]My maternal grandmother was completely grey by her early thirties. My mother, however, had only a light sprinkling of grey in her chestnut hair in her sixties - it look…

I turned 50 two years ago. My birthday was on a Sunday, and we'd recently relocated from Sioux City, Iowa to Omaha - didn't know enough people in Omaha to do any kind of a party. However, my spouse and I are both licensed hams and do lots of emerge…

We also have a cat who can open doors - his name is Horace, and he's a big, fluffy, orange woosie-cat. He is, however, very polite - before he opens the door, he knocks on it. Yes, KNOCKS - not scratches or paws at it, but distinctly knocks. We've l…

There's actually a town in Iowa called Boondocks! However, it's not the names, it's the pronunciation around here that gets me. Iowa has Nevada (pronounced na-VAY-da), Madrid (MAD-rid) and Buena Vista (BYOO-na VIS-ta) county. Then, in Nebraska, we…

Speaking of dead cats ... We lost power in our plant a month or so ago when a squirrel inadvertently fried himself in a nearby transformer. The power was out for about 2-1/2 hours, so we "cellar dwellers" had to go upstairs where there are at leas…

Before the days of skateboards, we used to take roller skates (the kind that you fasten to the bottoms of your shoes) and a board, put the board perpendicular to the skate, sit on the board, and roll down the sidewalk. I also remember going to the …

How exciting! I have three grandkids - Tyler, age 7, is just starting first grade. Melanie will be 3 in November, and Avery was 1 in May. Tyler started out calling me and my spouse Granny and Grumpy. Melanie has followed suit, although her pronuncia…

They did the annual Christmas holiday concert with the Sioux City Symphony about five years ago - they were a riot! Very personable and easily approached for conversation and autographs - unlike some of the other folks I've played behind!

In one of my former lives, we had David Gates as an employee - coincidentaly, he worked in one of our "bread" bakeries. I also had an employee relations manager named Gary Wright - however, this guy wasn't exactly a "Dream Weaver". While a member …

I'm definitely in with the Harrison Ford crowd - I think it's the scar, it gives him character. Others on my list who can eat crackers in my bed any time: Mel Gibson Billy Dee Williams Denzel Washington Omar Sharif (loved him in Funny Girl) Sean C…

That one is really choice! x:D We have an outfit in town that does green plants for office buildings - it's called "Rentokill". I don't think that the name was deliberate, but that's what would happen to any plant in my care, custody & control …

Several years ago, the Imus in the Morning radio/MSNBC broadcast did a live show from Sioux City, Iowa, where I happened to live at the time. One of the sponsors was Charlie Zook Motors. I'll never forget Don Imus's comment - "Would you buy a used c…

Oh, yeah, I'm comfortable. He's been that way since we got together almost 10 years ago, and he's never given me any reason to suspect anything untoward!x0:)

My spouse has been in sales forever, so this is almost a "don't get me started" topic. He asks me on a regular basis to review his resume - it's really hard to try to camouflage the fact that he's worked for six different companies in the last nine …

Here's my list: 1. Pay off debts 2. Make sure that my dad is comfortable for the rest of his life 3. Set aside a fund for the grandkids' education 4. Stop bugging my husband about being in straight commission sales 5. Buy a house big enough for my …

I purchased the SHRM Learning System three years ago, and self-studied the material. Toward the end, I spent a lot of time working through the practice tests, which I found very beneficial when I got to the actual test. I'll be recertifying this yea…

Oh, thank you! Someone who has actually seen this kind of behavior left behind! He will be turning 25 next week (as will my daughter), so I'm sure we've got a few more years of this, but maybe it will mellow over time. Yes, there was a pony keg of …

My daughter got married a week ago Saturday, and the sum total of my expenses were her dress ($79), her hair, manicure and pedicure ($80), my dress ($49), and outfits for the grandkids ($38). Since they've been living together for three years, and h…

I agree about Krispie Kremes - I think they're altogether too sweet. I'm a big fan of Culver's butter burgers & onion rings. Also like just about anything from Taco Bell. Another favorite is Arby's chicken, bacon & swiss sandwich, with an o…

My husband actually interviewed for a job last week, and the management recruiter couldn't send him on to the employer for a second interview because the employer wanted someone "more junior" - it still happens! When I worked at corporate HR for a …

Even though I'm relatively new to the Forum, I actually have one of those tee-shirts - I got it several years ago at the SHRM conference in Chicago. I'm not completely sure, but I think that back in those days, the shirts came in sizes other than ex…
