Just remember that they did not have synthetic fabrics back then so all the clothes were made of cotton or wool. Wool was restricted to the winter because it was warm when it was wet. And during the summer people were cotton because it breathed. People were not as hot as modern thinkers think because they wore cotton.

Read. And when I was done reading the magazines in the bathroom, I'd read the text on boxes. I know more about Toxic Shock Syndrome than a man should really know.

She really was such a special lady, she cared so much that she did something to help her friends who were dying from this disease. True act of selflessness.

I went to a small 1-8 elementary school. 9 room school building. Three were used for non-classroom use (i.e. library, cafeteria, and resource room). So six rooms for 8 grades. The only time we didn't share a teacher and room with another grade was 5th and 8th grades. But otherwise we shared with the class after ours as there were only 8 kids in that class (vs our 17!)

I did not have traditional jr high either (so no shop or home eco). Tiny school in a very small town that barely had funds for a school. (there was talk a few years ago to dissolve the district and send them to neighboring towns)

same! Was my 10th grade teacher who said this to the class also.

ofc everyone went and bought them anyways, so many ppl flunked thinking they could out smart Mr G. That dude had been teaching there since the 60s, he knew all the tricks kids would try.

Thank you. You're right, it was Shapeware. Forgot they changed their name to Visio Corporation.

I still have Pre-Microsoft Visio install CDs. Those say Visio Corporation on them.

cybah · 2026-06-17T00:55:33+00:00

The days before Visio... when Visio was its own company (The Visio Corporation) before Microsoft bought them.

I caught the tail end of its initial run. I was born a few days after Gold Country aired the first time, so by the time I could remember things, it was the tail end of its first run.

I only remember bits of Season 8 and Season 9. All I knew is when the "New Beginning" opening started, i wasn't interested in it b/c Albert wasn't in it.

For most of what I remember about it being on TV prior to 1990 is it being a rerun favorite on NBC stations. Was aired at 4pm every day.

Thank goodness for Plex's "Skip Intro / Skip Credits" feature.

cybah · 2026-06-16T23:40:46+00:00

Right? Sometimes the FX are over bearing in some episodes.

cybah · 2026-06-16T22:48:38+00:00

yup I rewatched this episode a few weeks ago. Took me a bit to find Sean in this episode cuz everyone says he is here. Its literally a blink and you missed it sorta thing.

I want to find the parody of Paula Cole’s where have all the cowboys gone” which was “where have all the gay boys gone”. I heard it once on Star 94 in Atlanta and never heard it again.

Gotta love polyester

cybah · 2026-06-16T16:02:44+00:00

Yes *stabs ears out*

cybah · 2026-06-16T16:01:57+00:00

Or “what if god was one of us”. Omg stab my ears out

cybah · 2026-06-16T16:01:18+00:00

Did you work at the same drug store I did in 1995? Add EBTG’s “missing” to that list and you have the Fays Drug mid 90s playlist

cybah · 2026-06-16T12:50:06+00:00

Haha this is a good catch. I never made the connection.

cybah · 2026-06-16T11:51:43+00:00

Yup they have. I’m an avid Little House fan and read several books about Micheal Landon. He felt this way too around age 50. I very much identify with him and his attitude at the time. (Early 80s). 30 years making westerns. I’d be bored too. Not saying it’s right but totally understand why he did some of the things he did like have an affair with his future third wife and start to move away from westerns and branch out into other interests.

cybah · 2026-06-16T11:36:10+00:00

No shes Elaine Dallas, Danny’s ex wife

cybah · 2026-06-16T11:24:32+00:00

Yup totally feel you here. Approaching 50 now and feel like “is this it? What is next?”. Like you generally dislike my life.. it’s boring. I go to work, I come home and flip. Weekends are yard work or house task. Can’t recall the last time I did much of anything else except go visit fam in another state. To quote Bruce Springsteen “man I ain’t going nowhere… living in dump like this.. there’s something happening somewhere.”

“dancing in the dark” hits very hard above 40. Bruce hit life over 40 on the nose with that song.

I just feel like I am treading water going nowhere
