Also the best decade for movies IMO.
Thank you, 41102.
Sorry, catfaninsc, I was a little too emphatic. Please forgive me.
I had a shag carpet with all of those colors. Shameful1970's color palette. What an awful time for interior design.
Good morning all from the Florida Gulf Coast.
Temp 75 degrees
High today 87 with a strong Gulf breeze
Sunshine currently with a 30 % chance of afternoon showers.
The coffee is strong and the fish are jumping. Plus it is scallop season and football is in the air. So----
life is good.

Welcome, SawneeCat. Post more here. We are an oasis.
I think we did too. I think everybody did. Frank Sadler split level.
Thanks Don, and happy 75th. I celebrate 75 a few days ago. My sign is cancer. We have a kinship being born during the Big War and watching America change. If we ever get to see each other I buy the beer.
Deal! And I'll get the second one.

Welcome Sawnee
Welcome Sawnee!!
Yeah everybody I knew had shag carpet back then. The deep shags were some of the most unsanitary things ever put in a house. Nasty stuff got down in the bottom and stayed there.
Especially when you had two kids under 4 years old crawling all over the floor. I had a neighbor who put it on the ceiling and walls of his TV room. He went to Graceland in Memphis and came back wanting to carpet his entire interior of the house. His wife put her foot down and said only the TV room and their bedroom ceiling around the mirror. I didn't ask any questions
Morning D. Salutations from the shanty.
Didn’t have enough coffee for a busy morning.

No need to apologize Bert. I did not take it as a affront. Only you defending your position.
Oh, Yeah!
Hmmm. I miss that place. We don't have fish like that.
We've got Julio G's
Not better but differently delicious. Just dump the pico salsa right in the middle.
Speaking of the 70s did any of you have a CB radio? If so, do you remember your handle?
Happy Birthday, Donfather.

My father owned a similar van. I'll scan pictures and post someday.
I also owned a CB radio. 40 channel. Can't remember my handle.
This reminds me of the "penny march" at Sunday School. When one had a birthday they would march up to the front near the altar where we had a mini church with a steeple. The steeple had a slit in it and you would drop a penny through for each year of your age. The church would sing Happy Birthday and the preacher said we could feed the Chinese babies who only had rice to eat. I always felt good about thatHappy Birthday, Donfather.

These were everywhere back in the 70's. I had a blue one all decorated in UK stuff. Traded it for 1969 Mercury Cougar. Man that car would fly
Good afternoon everyboDy
Couple more hours to go...
Shaping up to be a great weekend weather-wise.
Visiting Mom & Dad this weekend
Yard mowing & honey-do's (she is working 8 to 8 on Saturday) to do.
I was at Graceland in March...shag carpet on the ceiling...not a good look.
Take care.

Shag carpet on the ceiling does something to a man that time can not erase. I am still perplexed 30 years later
Happy Birthday, Donfather.

A penny saved is a penny earned.
I remember that.
We were encouraged to be kind to the poor starving children of China. We were were forced to eat all kinds of awful food as we were prompted to "think about all the poor starving people in China." What was the result? There are now nearly 1.4 billion of them and they have taken most of our jobs. All because of little kids giving all those pennies back when we could have nipped it in the bud..

Thank you railroadkat 1, A fine group no doubt.
I remember that too. Another funny thing. We would sing 2 or 3 songs and at the end we would sing A m e n. We stopped because it was said that it took too much time to sing amen. Really. FCC.
I attended a little pentecostal church next door where how long the service lasted was never even remotely considered.
Revivals would last weeks and some services were going strong past 10 or 11 o'clock PM. Mothers would bring a blanket to church and make a pallet for the kids and they would sleep under the bench "pew". A time long gone. Today they don't even have night services in most churches.
Yep. You had to make sure you didn't get trapped sitting in a pew (sitting beside a girl) at altar call. Precise timing was required in knowing when to get up and leave. If not there would be several people with their arms around you imploring you to "get saved." I eventually found my way to an altar willingly at age 20 - a decision I've never regretted.
Where did you grow up?

I had a Cobra CB. My handle was The Louisville Slugger because I was playing a lot of baseball at the time.
