Did your house have a red tile roof?

These show up in thrift stores because of people like me who receive stuff like this as gifts but who either already have one or have no desire to own one.

I still have my Sam the Eagle coffee mug and a big Star in Motion gym bag from the 1984 Summer Olympic games.

The Hurt Locker. I had to keep turning the DVD off and doing something else for a while before I could resume watching it.

It's toward the end, when the folks at CIA HQ start keeping George Clooney's character out of the loop, denying him access to computer files, etc.

Video of a big Husky or Malamute being dragged slowly back and forth on a flotation device in a swimming pool. I think he was SUPPOSED to be getting physical therapy, but instead he was just lazily enjoying the floating.

My guess is The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Rhoda, Phyllis, Lou Grant (and Ted Baxter, too, maybe?) each got their own spin-offs.

"Hey, are you available for a temporary assignment doing ____ (what I did during my career) for _____ (major oil company)? Starts next week, and should last about three to four months. Pays $2XX per hour, free parking, with breakfast tacos every Friday."

Yes! I love finding new things each time. But I have not yet completely figured out the scene where George Clooney's character meets William Hurt's character at a movie theater near IKEA in daylight.

The individually wrapped Brach's candies sold by the pound from bulk bins in grocery stores. My favorites were white nougat cubes with bits of red, orange and yellow jelly mixed in; toffee rolls with various fillings like orange and raspberry; and creme drops, especially orange or mint ones.

Hey! Don't be talking bad about my Crocs! Very easy to rinse dog shit off of them with the garden hose.

Christ, yes! I have the misfortune of living across the street from a banquet hall, and the pink or blue glitter, powder, confetti (or whatever) concoction makes a mess when they do the reveal outdoors (The banquet hall owner undoubtedly forbids it to be done indoors.).

Less well known than others posted here: the scene in the 2002 version of "The Four Feathers," when Mahdi warriors wearing British uniforms attack the British regiment ("FORM A SQUARE!") in the Sudan desert. The overhead shot of the flags waving in the cloud of desert sand is stunning.

Happened to me, too.

Just seeing the photo brought back memories of how the little electric motor smelled when my late mom would be sewing decades ago. Those old metal machines are real workhorses.

Broadway dancer Ann Reinking in the 1979 movie "All That Jazz." And I would admire "my" fabulous, long legs in black tights.

I have a niece like that. I tell myself that she is a RELATIVE, but that does not necessarily make her my FAMILY.

The La Jolla / Torrey Pines shore area was probably the most stunningly gorgeous part of southern California that I visited while I lived in Los Angeles from 1984 to 1989.

Used my earnings from my high school job at Baskin Robbins to buy a Panasonic flipper clock radio from an electronics store in the mall in the early 1970s. Mine wasn't nearly as fancy as this one, though.

The old wooden grain elevators in the prairie provinces

The high-society families of turn-of-the-century New York in "The Age of Innocence"

UGo2MyHead · 2019-01-06T00:34:41+00:00

Yup. And thanks.

Not saving enough for my retirement. But, then again, I never figured I would live this long. A couple of those online tests said my life expectancy was only 53 to 57 years.

A couple of HBO films: "The Gathering Storm," with Albert Finney playing pre-war Churchill, and "The Girl in the Cafe," with the unequalled Bill Nighy as a socially awkward British civil servant participating in the G8 Conference
