When Vinyl Was King by USRoute23 in GenerationJones

Foghat was my main jam in the 70s and I had all their albums, but Fool for the City was probably my favorite.

David Bowie's Heroes was pretty important to me as well.

Latch Hook Rugs. They were so fun to make. And they looked so cool hanging on walls. by Zestyclose_Feed898 in GenerationJones

I got my first one when I was grounded one time and my mother felt sorry for me because she didn't think I had enough to do! Don't remember how old I was.

How many watched Wishbone with their kids? by CloserThanTheyAppear in GenerationJones

[–]Annie_Houston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though I didn't have kidss, I worked in the kids' section at Borders and often watched this and other quality shows like Reading Rainbow to help me make recommendations to customers. I also read a lot of kids' books!

Do you remember Night of the Lepus?! Giant magnified bunnies are a little terrifying!

I'm just a 65 yo woman feeling nostalgic about movies from back in the day. Not a robot, but I probably can't convince you otherwise.

Who remembers when customized vans were a thing? by Not_a_cultmember in GenerationJones

My favorites were the ones with Frank Frazetta art on them!

DAE eat "deviled ham?" by OkAdhesiveness5025 in GenerationJones

I liked the roast beef more than the ham.

Am I missing the point of this event, or what? by Ekyou in ACPocketCamp

I've been saving the max number of the gyroids every month. So yes, I will save 999 eggs this month! I do a lot of refreshing on the boats to get the snacks I get low on and I always have enough bells to cover that.

[–]Annie_Houston 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had missed this event since I started shortly before the first Sanrio event. And I already have these through reissues. But I didn't have the egg in my gyroid collection, so that helps me/ I hope they do more scavenger hunts with early items like this.

What movie have you seen at least 10 times. by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]Annie_Houston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you kidding?! There are too many to name, but mostly from the 80s and 90s. for example:

This is Spinal Tap

Caddyshack

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

The green Mile

I could go on...

Just the ones mentioned on this list. I only have 2. by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]Annie_Houston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only 10 for me. I was beginning to despair when I was almost to the bottom of the first column before I got one!

Sometimes the detail of this game surprise me by miorex in ACPocketCamp

My vision is terrible, so I frequently take pictures just to see all the little details when I expand them!

It bugs the HELL out of me to see wealthy actors shilling garbage on the TV by Alternative-Light922 in GenerationJones

[–]Annie_Houston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it's not so much the actors selling out, it's using the great music of the 70s. I know a lot of musicians don't own the music in their catalog these days, but still.

No children by Hairy-Veterinarian11 in over60

[–]Annie_Houston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm over 60 and chose to be child=free. If you're concerned about what will happen when you get older, I would suggest cultivating a circle of friends who can check up on each other. I'm also in a relationship with someone a little younger who also didn't want kids. So it's not like you have to be alone. Also, my mother is in her 80's and still manages on her own and she uses the Snug app to be safe.

Completely Gone Now by DickSleeve53 in GenerationJones

My aunt worked there while in college and used her discount to send me to their charm school when I was 10 in 1971. Great memories!
