Hey little woman, please make up your mind
You've got to come into my world and leave your world behind

Thank you

Yes he was

Wasn't Bobby Sherman also on the show..Here Come the Brides?

Bobby Sherman, former teen idol of the 60s and 70s has passed. He was 81.

New shoes and my own coat.

Big family but poor. As an adult, there's little I deny myself.

Yes!

Nice axes!

This one! I bought it in 1983. It's made by Alvarez

Nice! What was the first guitar you bought?

A guitar

Toys I couldn't get as a child so I bought them for my kids.

Beer

After the motley crew that had their slimy fingers on our button from 1995 'till 2000 with no occurrence of global thermonuclear war I realized that chances are we will survive anybody's possession of nuclear weapons.

Yeast whiz.

leather jacket

Did you not think if or when Iran developed a nuclear bomb they would not use it ?

To be a bit more specific, driving a manual transmission vehicle.

Do you not think if or when Iran develops a nuclear bomb they will not now use it ?

or possibly increased the chances of one

It probably stopped a nuclear war.

I don't think Israel was in on the bombing of the supposed nuclear sites but they've been involved in the lead up to it.

A dangerous escalation

It wasn't only the USA, BUT Israel was with that also.

solution to the problem eliminate all humans from the entire world and then no more war or bombing or fightinh or anything world peace then will be

fixing a problem that enabled Iran to this point , by 3 D's , 1 SoS and 2 different P's . Now you can moderate my Post , for it being on the wrong board .

I did and now I will apologize for my action and own it

That would so amazing

How to operate turn signals in your vehicle

I agree. If only we could have World Peace...

All we need

Bombs have been dropped on Iran's three nuclear sites by the United States.

Critical thinking.

Driving

Real social interaction , face to face

Lol hi! Im talking about multiplication table. I think all kids should memorize them up to 12 for everyday use. That's all. ..lol maybe I'm the dinosaur!

I am that dinosaur that you haven't yet met.
I must admit though that I do use a calculator for the more complex problems.

Agreed !

I am a little late on the subject but..I agree with you in that i haven't seen or met anyone that does math in their head anymore...everybody just "whips out " their cell phone to use the calculater app..it's sad..an alittle scary!

Cutting down trees & chopping up the wood for fires.

Cooking. I am amazed at the line of family cars at all the fast food places in the evening.

Not sure "life skills" ever become obsolete.

Assembly line workers. I also read where Amazon will eventually reduce work force by AI taking over.

A butcher. Not necessarily because of veganism but maybe cultured meat.

Writing.

Writing a letter!

Agreed!

Doing math in your head...

Welcome back hon

I'm baack!!!

Lol happy dad day

(Shared with me) This Father’s Day, give thanks to your dad for bringing you into this world, because your mom probably wasn’t even in the mood.

Isn't everything already retro? I haven't seen anything "new" or "eye opening " in years!

I agree with this for sure. It has to stop.

We had dial up telephones hanging on the wall, phone booths, different ways of listening to music, streaming on our TV's, not to mention clothes, hair, etc. It's hard to think of what might become retro that we take for granted now but I'm sure there will be so many changes, everything now will seem retro.

I've no idea what any of this thread means, most of the entries have no relevance to anything posted before or indeed what the original post meant

Cool!

I think so....

Are you two done? Lol...I'll wait! Have a nice day!

Ok. So I'm not quite all here. I was looking for someone else to have posted the two-parter. I'm too tired (sick) to try & figure out why.

Amen to that, without hesitation.

hating anyone who doesnt believe as you do. this has to change

I think I was clear: Anything that is popular now, is bound to be consider retro by some future generation.

I only see that split in your entry.

1. What is popular now
2. that future generations will consider retro

Oops, it seems I went to another thread.

I don't see a second part to the question.

Combustion cars we drive...within a decade or so driverless electric vehicles will be the norm..

The 2nd part of the question is redundant. Just "What is popular now" should have exactly the same answers.

The term "woke".

I'm afraid I disagree. SOS has endured since WWI.

Social media...people will eventually realise how moronic and damaging it is and move away from it....

What isn't?

chipped beef on toast

Is save finally everybody doesn't have 2 worry about him I know I was . I think he is adorable ❤️

Whoever sent it and whatever for, thank you.

A bland dish called "Texas Hash"
It consists of ground beef, crushed tomatoes, onion, green peppers, egg noodles, salt and pepper. No garlic, cilantro, cumin nor hot peppers were included.

My mom sauce with neck ones and hot sausage.man do I miss her food .♥️

My Mum[English-- Southgate London, England[Buzz Bombs too }-Hitler/
used to make this dessert called 'Butter Cake' with Almond extract flavor;
The recipe was long and from Sweden or the Netherlands.
it also had Almonds on top[lots of them].
It was also moist and chewy

to the taste, but looked cakey?

Supper had Steak, large salad, and Chicken[Roast] with baked or sweet potatoes, long string beans, Asparagus[ugh]...in Summer also 'Sweet Corn
on the Cob [from an organic Farm nearby]... and Broccoli by the bunch.
Milk and Red Meat were Number One[grade A\ but not me.

Wish you were here, Pink Floyd. Great song

pink floyd

I keep wishing I were somewhere else

Yep. Aja.

I believe that was Steely Dan.

Hi...one of my faves ...All Good People by YES. I love that song!

I guessed Big Giant Head would know this one. I didn't know that Byteme would be equally proficient with Yes.
Byteme are you the one who knows the dime dancin' tune?

Yes..Rounabout

Yes - Roudanout

I'm pretty sure of one person knowing this next one.

thank you

thank you

happy *birthday*

well today is my birthday may 20th and i turned 78 happy birthday to me

Some people sign up for far more games than they have time to play, I wish I knew why

Each game we play has a 'clock' for moves.
It is our 'clock' and we can choose when to move.
Also, people who rush you to move are cheating; trying to make you 'Blunder',
they want to win the game.
It is your clock and it is 'YOUR Choice'.

Nobody sits idle here. We can play a lot of games, and there's discussion boards and clubs to talk in. I just read the newsletter and that probably took half an hour. Just because we don't look busy doesn't mean we aren't.

i just dont understand why people come in here and sit idle or whatever when they can see they have opponants in here and dont play or update the games... this is a game site ppl not a come in and leave ur nick idle while u go do whatever you do.....

Chocolate and strawberry.....Red Mischief

Chocolate, Vanilla, Orange Sherbet with Banana- Chocolate Banana Dreams Icle

Tesla, oops that's not until next year

I'm looking forward to hearing about...
"Howard Johnson's eating places or restaurants.
what about "Dairy Queen" dips, with chocolate or other toppings?
A&W Root Bear, also get a cheeseburger, etc.

The Drive-in theaters- people were snuck in, being in the trunk of the car, then let out.
big square movie screen.

Lots of people had convertibles too.
also, motorcycles were in the trunk of cars, as lots of movies then played gang, action stories.
and 'Horror Movies" - very popular.

Shoneys (at leasts here in Spartanburg SC) Has been closed here for a long time. There 2 listed, though.
one in Columbia & West Columbia, SC.

I was deprived. No Forums in Massillon.

Red Steer (a fast food drive-in)

.
There are two separate banners. One is Bloomsday and the second is May the Schwartz be with you - this latter one flashes back and forth between the regular GT logo.
Today you are seeing 2 logos, Bloomsday & Schwartz because both are scheduled to be shown on the same date.

????? why is it flashing , but not continually (Bloomsday amostly)

Yes we had the same issue last year.
Today is the Lilac Bloomsday run, held on the first Sunday in May in Spokane.
It has no relationship to Joyce other than the name

When I was a young boy (early 1960s) there was a Neisner's and Woolworth's a block apart in downtown Massillon, Ohio. Both were 5 and 10 cent stores and had snack bars inside where you could get breakfast or a hot lunch.

Yes June 16th. Not sure why it was cited as today.

The graphic on the banner today is sometimes a picture of James Joyc, with the tooltip reading 'Wishing You Te Happiest Bloomsday.' I didn't know what this was so I looked it up and apparently it's in June, not May.

2 Guys from Harrison. New Jersey based Store..

British Home Stores (BHS) - closed 2016

They've still got them in New Zealand, or did do when I was there in about 2018

Robert Hall is where we went shopping every year for our back-to-school clothes.

Fatdaddy... how about "Forums" on E. 9th downtown. I'd go there with my grandma.

Me too!!

LoV that store

Oh yeah! I remember woolworth's

Souplantation. It was one of my favorite places to go and I miss it terribly.

Anything by Tiny Tim

Tiptoe through the Tulips

Anything by the Stones

I also cannot stand
'rap music'.
Of any kind.
-It is not calming or relaxing, not my choice for energy, or
Dancing or exercise, Music.

Cant think of any actual song I dislike so much that I switch it off or change stations but any kind of rap is something I immediately get rid of..

Any, and I really mean any rap song. I'm allergic.

ps.


The Movie was called...
"THE EXORCIST".

My second quote is an exorcism from the movie "The Exorcist" to remedy the ear worm.

You don't like Linda Blair...
the real story was about a male, and the movie was about a female. People camped out for a few days near the theater to ensure they got tickets.

'MERIAN:!!
The Paperback was a big success, and people all over were talking about the start of the movie production.
The movie had very Good
Acting and clarity
It held your attention and moved right along.

Luckily I don't know any of those mentioned so far, but an earworm is a valid concern.
I can't think of any particular songs that I would immediately turn off by name, but occasionally you get one so bad there's no other option if you want to keep your sanity

"The power of Christ compels you!"

any type of junky RAP yuk

CAUTION!!! Reading these posts could cause Earworm Syndrome!

Ever since 1981 that awful nasal "867-5309/Jenny" by Tommy Tutone.
Thankfully the frequency of this aural assault has lessened with time.

Put a ring on it.

Yes, it has to be chicken.. great nutrition and taste no matter the temperature.....

That is one dish I definitely prefer cold, especially during summer.

🙏🙏

Sorry, I don't know how to get a hold of her, but a while back she went missing on some of our games and she did finally return and explained what happened. I'm sure she could use our prayers.

Potato salad

Apples! Cold..baked in a pie..etc

soft boiled eggs hot - hard boiled eggs cold

Pork n beans, baked beans
Bologna - fried bologna

Chicken, limit. Pizza, only for people close to starvation. Bacon... Pfui.
Only subjective taste, of course.

Pizza

Chicken!

You have joined the "Survivors Club"! It's a great place to be. I am so happy for you!

I think young people would assume the Avengers was something to do with Marvel comics.
It was great, as was the later New Avengers with Joanna Lumley. I loved Steed's Jag in that

I got teased a lot about that show because my first name is Riley.

A show I liked a lot was The Avengers with Diana Riggs as Ms. Peel. It may have been a British import to American TV.

okay, boys and girls,

What time is it kids"...

It's Howdy Doody Time

Remember the Froggy...
"Hiya Kids; "Hiya Hiya Hiya'.
And Truck your Magic T------ Froggy--Boi--[more words were said on the show.
This is a children's show.
Puppets and Buffalo Bob.
Princess Sommer Fall, Winter, Spring.
Chief Thunderthud.
Clarabell the Clown, Hong!
Dilly Dally
Phineas T. Bluster[Businessman].
and many others.
Howey looked like Richie Cunningham on "Happy Days.
you know, ice cream and 'Apple Pie.

The Life of Riley

As a Brit of a certain age, even I don't recognise most of them

A number of the shows cited are not sitcoms. I wonder if the current internet generation knows "I love Lucy" via tictok. It was the first widely distributed sitcom. It is also perhaps the the best of all time.

that shows you what 'YouTube' knows with the nice picture of
Chuck Conners and his age are printed as real.
Remember when '5 or Five all night with George Fennel started the beginning of '24 hour' television.
he always had movies of Charlie Chan on in the beginning days.
I think the Rifleman played 6 seasons, like
Leave It To Beaver, had then Jerry Mathis
wanted out; he said we did grammar school, High School, and college.
we[Walley and family]got married, for a family, and now he wanted to
get on with his life.
The Internet said he left Earth in 2024.

Paul Fix (Micah) died in 1983 at 82 years old.
Chuck Connors died in 1992 at 71 years.
Johnny Crawford died in 2021 at the age of 75.
I never missed "The Rifleman" when I was a kid.

Chuck Conner was in Sports and was 6''6' Tall.
or 6' 5' tall.
A Great Show- drama - raising his son Mark, in Wisconsin, during the
development of the 'Wild West'.
With his friend Marshal Torrance, whose first name was Mica.
the show has good acting, humor, action, and good stories in North Fork.
The town had everything to survive, food and supplies, most people were Ranchers and or Farmers.
Lucas was known for his skill with his specially made Rifle...he doesn't
miss the target[he did one time--missed shooting a dangerous big cat away from attacking his son, Mark- out on the open trails and the trees, and hills.
I still watch repeats...Last I heard, he was 94 years old, and then, no more...also read he was 100 years old.

He certainly is good!!! PTL!!!

You can get shoes or socks for dogs in some hot countries too otherwise they burn their paws walking on hot pavements

But it's not. They shoe oxen and cows when used as draft animals. They shoe humans too.

What drives you crazy about DB posts?

For me it's people who post messages with no subject title

....oh wait!

Yeah!

Personally I find it rude to point out duplicate post subjects. This will not be tolerated any further. Warning to all of those that do it. If you post a duplicate post, don't worry because it's no big deal. We are all human and oh well. Besides, sometimes I like going over a subject twice.

I agree, a simple DM would have sufficed. Mistakes are made on here, we're only human, so please be considerate and don't call out mistakes on boards. It serves no purpose except to discourage or embarrass.

We appreciate your contribution to this board Nottz Guy and hope you will continue.

No archive needed, its still at the bottom of the page from January and most of us remember it.
You did the same thing a couple of weeks ago about a line from a TV ad

With respect. I was not aware that the question has/has not previously been posted. If an archive search facility is available I am not aware of it.

Been a night but we made it still rain

APRIL FOOLS!!!

April fools 🤣

I'm surprised you fell for it. It seemed obviously a prank to me as soon as I saw it.

Read down the page....

How do you get to rules you are talking about?

Just read it...was intrigued until I got to the rules then it dawned...hilarious....a very good prank.....

I never had much impetus to lie for any reason. Even lying for a prank you have become a person who cannot be trusted for truthfulness. The joke is on you.
Nonetheless I fell for { Player: Mercir }'s April Fool joke and found it delightful.

Also the old rugged cross

The battle hymn of the republic

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother.

I agree, so many songs

"Full speed ahead!"

Impossible. In my case it will always be the last song I heard which managed to lodge itself in my brain and play in a loop. Today, for some reason it's Yellow submarine, but tomorrow or in an hour it will be something else.

That would be the title cut of "Aja" by Steely Dan from 1977.

It seems the majority of goldtokenites don't want it to begin with. Politics is far from a favorite topic here. And I agree. It shouldn't be here.

I think your keyboard is broken. There is something wrong with your puncuation keys....

Yes, and religion

I know, so a rather pointless statement

Where is the politics board?

This is NOT the politics' board

You personally?

why not play Hypergammon.
3 checkers each and a race around the board,
get to home base and exit all 3 checkers to 'WIN".
2/1 in Backgammon is the worst opening you can get, usually people play
2 down and one above.
BUT- in Acey Doucey 2/1 is the BEST" roll you can get for a faster win..
remember, "TO COMPETE IS TO WIN".
This is Backgammon defined----
THE BEST OFFENSE IS A GOOD DEFENSE'
THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD OFFENSE'.

The same words explain Martial Arts too.
also, you set up blocks in your games 'TOO'.
WHAT GOES ONE WAY GOES THE OTHER.
This applies to ;Board Games.
