  1. They do make a mop version or at least they used to. Had it for almost ten years - Look for Scooba
  2. Any map application on the phone or standalone. Youngsters have no idea how to use a paper map which might be good. In college I had to find an airport in Iowa by stopping every few minutes to see which direction planes were going....
  3. Did it multiple times to Australia after IBM eliminated business class. Luckliy I'm not 6-4 or something. Only flew the direct Sydney/DFW once - much easier to go thru LA after 12 hours.
  4. Exactly... Imagine how some of them felt when they could drink at 18 and then the age was raised to 21. I don't remember any grandfather clauses

    Checking in

    well at least you got it. I had to sign onto gmail for the first time is a couple of years to get the note. If you have your own domain than the registration process seems to ignore it
  6. Changing the oil in the car and the new oil came in cardboard cans that you needed to stab a spout into. Never got a spout that didn't leak oil on the engine
  7. Way to late but Hooligans by John Diehl. He wrote Sharkeys Machine and I always thought Burt Reynolds would be perfect for the main character in Hooligans but that was 25 years ago.
  8. shameless post bumping apparently
  9. My old Vanishing Point one from the other site did not work well in a circle so I grabbed on of our favorite artists creations - Davis catching the missed field goal and the start of the greatest play in college football - my opinion and I know that the Rose Bowl TD also would be at the top on a lot of people's list. Also changed my name from AUinAustin since I moved back home after retiring from IBM.
  10. Watching for the NBC peacock to tell us the next show was in "living color"
  11. Going to the car dealer and ordering your car just the way you wanted. Something like a 1970 Cuda in Lemon Twist Yellow with black bucket seats, brown carpet, power windows, 318 engine with auto transmission, drum brakes and the flower power vinyl top. Friend had one like this. Today you get one or two option packages - back then you got the ability to make a one off all the time
  12. PF Flyers Rat Fink rings Bazooka bubble gum for a penny Baseball cards in bike spokes Chasing the mosquito fogger truck - no idea why no adult didn't stop this. Nothing like a dozen kids on bikes riding in a cloud of insecticide Sneaking transistor radio into school to listen to World Series World Series games starting around noon on weekdays Running your computer program with punched cards
  13. Food fight!!!
  14. Things are returning to normal
  15. Underdog came strong on the previous version but here goes... Tang TV Dinners with "peel foil from potatoes" Actually dialing the phone - which was corded into the wall Happy to get all three networks on the rabbit ears Riding in cars with no seat belts Rounding up a bunch of neighborhood kids to play sandlot baseball - no adults needed legal drinking age - 18 but no one enforced it
  16. Some of us are to scared to open this forum at work - especially after seeing what happened to the old site over the weekend
  17. I'm here but still trying to change my email but scared to change it since it requires the confirmation which never gets there,
  18. Hopefully they don't click on too many thread from work. Some of the degenerates added a lot of NSFW as parting gifts.
  19. I know it is a known problem that some email addresses don't seem to work for the confirmation stage but is there going to be a fix in the future. I had to change mine to gmail which I only look at once a year or so. If I change it back to the address than the site wants to send a new confirmation email before letting me back in
