Sympathy like.
Hope things have dried up a bit by now...!

Wanna guess what it's doing now? If you said Raining, you would be correct.
At least the ducks swimming in the new pond across the street are happy.

Yeah, my favorite weatherman is threatening us with 2 days of 'significant' snow on Wednesday and Thursday.

Is it Tom? One of my lunch ladies told me about that, and I was like . Staring at more rain this morning, I am thinking a little snow might be a nice change.

Obviously, the rain is getting to me. I need sun...badly!

Yay for peach and plum blossoms...!!!

Love that pic. Just beautiful.

Do you remember these? Clackers. Instead of slamming each other they tended to knock you upside the head, mouth and eyes.

Or do you remember weaving pot holders?

Or remember washing your hair with Lemon Up? each bottle had the juice of a whole lemon.

So how many of you remember what this is?

Spoiler: what is it?

The teachers chalk holder for making lines or staffs on chalkboard

Or that guy's fashion statement

Tube Socks!

or do you remember Notes?

I remember all of these, except lemon up. Forgot about the clackers. Used to love the sound they made.

I find " I don't want to" works when i get FR from people i don't want on my FB (but then i think i have less than 30 friends on there)

Excuse me sir, but I have looked, and I can't even send you a friend request on FB, (So, maybe I just stalk your countdown stuff occasionally.)

We have had rain I think 3 of the last 5 days. More rain today. We get a reprieve tomorrow, only to have more rain for Thursday and Friday. I think it has rained for the last 3 Fridays.

Right now we are between drops. But more on the way. I feel your pain!

Clackers not really except for a few boys trying to hit each other with them, pot holder weaving kits can still be found in craft stores, lemon up and chalk line thing no, tube socks sold well onto the 90s, notes yes just got a smart phone about 2 years ago

cracker were huge in my country for a few years until they were replaced by "tazos". Which are circular plastic things used to play(imagine hard plastic big coins painted with famous character of cartoons)
Tazos were definitively huge, they lasted almost 10 years of popularity, 5 of them huge.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tazos

I remember having a huge collection of looney tunes, tiny toons (the heaviest tazos ever, and most favored to play as a hitter coin).

speaking of tazos.. I investigated and only 3 countries got the TMNT collection ones. And they were all eastern europe (Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland)

I hate to tell you but you still won't get any sun with snow either

@Gabe1 fabric.com just sent me an email telling me they now have Cubs fabric. Not exactly the mail I'm waiting for I was hoping the polka dot that I have been waiting for comes back in stock soon.

 

[Figgy1]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wore flip flops today in the rain

 

[Goofyernmost]

Hahaaa...! I was thinkin' the same thing about the gum...!!!
I played a lot of baseball in my younger days, collected a lot of cards, and chewed a lot of bubble gum, and so did both my younger brothers...!
Really wishin' I'd a' hung on to all those cards...

Heck, I had rookie Mickey Mantle cards that I'm pretty sure ended up being a motor sound on my bicycle. Such is life for those of us that only casually care about sports.

Spoiler

Either that or it was sold by my Mother when we moved from New York to Vermont. She sold everything that wasn't nailed down that she had no particular emotional leaning towards. Like my 4th place bowling patch. The only thing I have ever won and she sold it. Whoever would have wanted it must have been a bigger loser then even me.

The Dress Shop on Cherry Tree Lane in DS is now open with any luck they won't carry my size otherwise

 

[donaldtoo]

Do you remember colorforms?

or Snack Pack Pudding in a can, with a pull top??

Or a library card with a metal plate

Or gas charges when you could afford a vacation and the gas to get you there?

or that didn't come in a box?

All of the above.
Mom put snack pack pudding in our school lunches many times.
And, I remember gas prices bein' even lower than that.

 

[donaldtoo]

Dot to dot has always been my favorite!!

What about paint by numbers...?

 

[Wrangler-Rick]

How about Sequin Art?
