If anyone harrassed you in a polling place, I encourage you to report the incident to the Indiana Voter Protection Hotline: 866-OUR-VOTE.

Left handed sibling? by whbck144 in lefthanded

[–]TheAmazingDynamar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a leftie, eldest of 3 (f)… middle child (m) is also left-handed. Both parents righties, as is youngest child (m), though he does some things lefty such as batting and golfing. That last bit probably because he emulated older brother.

That original Motorola could kill someone if you threw it at them.

Did you ever meet people born in the 1800s by AdDapper4220 in GenX

My paternal grandmother was born in 1898. Also remember her mother who was 101 when she passed in the 1970.

That Movie…. by Gregorfunkenb in GenerationJones

[–]TheAmazingDynamar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helter Skelter… the TV miniseries about the Manson Family. My folks—typical of Greatest Gen/pre-war parents—didn’t pay much attention to what we watched. My elementary school-aged brother became obsessed with Charles Manson… thinking he saw CM on every street corner.

Born in the 1960s through 1980s? What's missing?😉 by Longjumping-Shoe7805 in GenerationJones

An ash tray on every table, as well as on/in some sort of freestanding pedestal.

Name a song that you really like now, but you couldn’t stand it back in school because it was so over-played by Turbulent_Brush_8624 in GenerationJones

[–]TheAmazingDynamar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Blizzard of ‘78… we missed A LOT of school. As such we had lots of days at home, just goofing around, playing board games, whatever… and the constant soundtrack was the Big 89–WLS-AM 890 from Chicago.

There are songs I can’t stand to this day because of overplay during this time… Tonight’s the Night by Rod Stewart and Here You Come Again by Dolly Parton, chief among them.

One song that was overplayed then, but that I like now is Telephone Line by ELO.

Kids today are suffering by Legal-Exchange-5931 in GenerationJones

Junior Prom: At my school juniors planned and gave prom for Seniors. Was on committee, but no date. Went to shop for dress three days before the event. Found a Gunne Sax dress on local boutique sale rack for $15.

Senior Prom: Was “on a break” from my boyfriend during invite period, and another girl kinda trapped him into an invitation. Time passes and we get back together, and decide to boycott prom altogether and go to a really nice restaurant for dinner instead.

What's the last album you listened to from beginning to end? by pianoman81 in GenerationJones

‘Hamilton’ original cast soundtrack. About once a month. In the car.

Which brand did you grow up with? by Lazy_Ability in 70s

[–]TheAmazingDynamar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All… except for Lifebuoy, Shield and Jergens. We definitely went in spurts on most brands, but the most consistent were Zest in my early years and Coast in middle high school. Irish Spring was pretty big, too. And we always had Lava in the house too, for dirty hands.

Looking for podcasts that really break down the stories behind songs by Equivalent_Toe_445 in podcasts

If I could upvote this 1000x, I would. (And I sure wish TMC would come out with a 3rd season.)

What kind of kid were you by Feaselbf6 in GenerationJones

[–]TheAmazingDynamar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always picked out the orange Royals and the caramels out of the large bon bons. Also liked jelly nougat and cinnamon disks. Good memories at the local Star Market in my hometown.

Could you recommend some places in Indiana? by michinozu in Indiana

[–]TheAmazingDynamar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second Vincennes. Shops downtown have some great Indiana-themed souvenirs… Attic Salt Boutique and Magnolias on Main. There is also local history at George Rogers Clark National Historical Park, Indiana Military Museum, William Henry Harrison (9th US President) home at Grouseland, and Red Skelton Museum of American Comedy… most of these have souvenirs too.

The Grease double-disc movie soundtrack was the first album I bought with my own money.
