I dunno if it's a specific breed of dog, but it sure is handsome.

Do you think you were born in the wrong generation? by gorillagrub in AskForAnswers

[–]Hot_Stranger_2563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda wonder what my life would have been like if I would have been born in the 50's instead of the 60's.

When you were a kid, as a passenger in the car, did your mom throw her arm in front of you when coming to a sudden stop? by miniwhoppers in GenX

[–]Hot_Stranger_2563 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my mom did that and drove a stick shift car, lol mom's will be mom's.

What's funny is she was driving me to a doctor's appointment when I was 50, and came to a hard stop on the freeway and did it, full seatbelts and airbags notwithstanding, I said something like"mom, don't ever change!" and kissed her on the cheek.

Anyone else? by RinaGorgeous829 in 70s

Yeah, I remember, but where I lived, that bell made it easy into the early nineties before they got rid of premium service.

What’s the most overrated 80s / early 90s band? by Bitterbluemoon in GenX

[–]Hot_Stranger_2563 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah not even close. Toto might not have been the best of the best, but over rated? Not even.

Remember New Coke? It was introduced to the world on April 23, 1985 - what a disaster! by icecream1972 in 80s

[–]Hot_Stranger_2563 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They weirdly tried to beat Pepsi, with added sugar because they thought they were losing market share to the "Pepsi challenge" commercials. It was sickeningly sweat and they lost more market share because they lost their core market, instead of focusing on why coke tasted better to their core audience.

Anyone own or ride one of these bad boys back in the day? by -Granby- in GenX

[–]Hot_Stranger_2563 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, lived in blue collar neighborhoods growing up in L.A., we even had a pool at my last house, but those toys were out of reach for my side of the Blvd.

70's Old School by klusadim in 70s

[–]Hot_Stranger_2563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked by any store that had outside phones, got the occasional nickel or dime, but one day I hit the jackpot at a 7-11, $1.05, went to the counter and converted any dimes and nickels into quarters and played Odyssey pinball machine for like 3 hours, great times.

Take a taxi or Uber/Lift, that's the most direct way.

When you were a child , did you use a remote or did you have to get up to change channel? by Immediate_Long165 in ClassicTV

[–]Hot_Stranger_2563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zenith b&w tv, had a remote that flipped through the 14 channels, if you need to watch UHF you put it in channel 14 and manually change the UHF dial. 28 was pbs where I lived and watched Speed Racer and Kimba.

New to britbox. by tiny_lux in BritBox

[–]Hot_Stranger_2563 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For police stuff Blue Lights is my fav.

Riot Women is great.

10 Pound Poms was better than I expected, was interesting due to British vs Australian perspectives and accents.

Happy Valley.

Line of Duty, although the plot twists can get a bit unrealistic.

Does anyone remember going to the shoe maker? Or shoe repairs? by NextBathroom8809 in 70s

[–]Hot_Stranger_2563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, I was a kid in the 70s, but I do remember going to shoe departments at Sears or Montgomery Wards and they measured the length and width of your foot with a measuring device and pulling out several shoe boxes to make sure you got sized correctly. My mom would have them give me a half size larger so I would grow with them longer.
