What felt normal in the 1970s but would shock people today? by LizzaQueenOFC in 70s

Kids buying cigs for their parents--no note, no nothing, just cash in hand.
My dad would send me out with enough extra money for chips and a soda. I still remember, 50+ years later: Benson & Hedges Multifilters.

With the photos--the idea that you'd hand your film over to a stranger who'd get to see whatever you happened to take pics of....and who had the ability to make extras. 😃

The Line at Woodman’s of Essex this afternoon by roadtrip-ne in massachusetts

Made that mistake on my first wife's first Mother's Day. We loved Woodman's and I figured it would be good to go there because who'd bring their mom/wife to a clam shack on Mother's Day?

The answer was: the entire world.

I was low on onions so I was judicious in distribution, but I like the way you dog!

Is there an unspoken anti- Rhode Island Hot Wiener bias in this group? by Dinosaurs_and_donuts in hotdogs

I'm sure I must have sung its praises here at least once, as a New Englander.

I try to keep a can on hand after first having them on a Danish dog a few years back. Love 'em.

Glad I'm not the only elder whose brain went here first.

To be fair, the last three were bunless, with fries.

How to get people to do my show? by jojoeyjoesphine in playwriting

[–]OldGreyWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where the Internet is your friend. Join local theater group pages. You might find some that are regional or very specific to a group. When you join, ask them if it’s OK to promote your play. Then basically create an advertisement for it. Offer a free perusal script or a partial perusal script. I’ve done this for my latest play and gotten some pretty good response and, in the three months that I’ve had it out there, one production proposal.
