Aaaaaah ... memories.
Oh look, a squirrel.

Are they getting high off of paper? Then again, it was the 60s and 70s.

 

[Clamman73]

That was me in school through the whole '80s. Yep, explains everything now....

The ink on the paper.

I used to be the one that was always sent to run the mimeograph machine. So, like I said, that explains a lot.

Same here. But, for me, it was the late 60's through the 70's. I graduated HS in '80.
I think...

Ditto Machines and Mimeo Machines names were used interchangeably but they were different systems, with different methods. I believe it was the Ditto machine that had the gravitating smell.

Whatcha doing over there in our old stomping grounds @donaldtoo?

That sentence has a nefarious ring to it!!! Kudos!!!

Ditto paper survived into the early 80's.

Photocopies were reserved for important newletters destined for our parents.
We students still got the cheapo ditto copies for a couple of years thereafter.

Best.
Smell.
Ever.

Yes, indeed. I researched it the last time the subject came up!
Lord knows, due to all the sniffing, I wouldn't have remembered otherwise...!

 

[JenniferS]

I just saw a preview for an OLN show called. "Killing Bigfoot".

Made me wonder - who believes that Bigfoot/Yeti exist?

For the record, I do.
(No, I have not seen one.)

Research ... that's what you were doing over in WITWIBS?!

 

[JenniferS]

Holy jumping - it's 10:00, and I just realized I haven't had supper.

Wonder if I can persuade Hubby to pick up something while he's out?

 

[donaldtoo]

Alrighty, shuttin' this puppy down...
Hope to "see" y'all from the casa, in a bit...!
Laterrrrrrr...!!!

Only about 45 more mins. to go on another clothing store closer.
Have sold a suit, shirt, and tie.
The guys that bought the suit wanted to go across to Dillard's to check on their prices before committing to the sale. They were back in 15 mins. Happens darn near every single time. Plus, it was for a 13 year old boy. He'll outgrow the thing in 3 mos., so they're not gonna' pay Dillard's prices.

Ah yes. I use to tell people to go ahead and check out the mall and the department store prices. I knew we had them beat every time. That was S&K, I couldn't use that line anymore when I moved to Joseph Bank. Not all the time anyway.

It was a good episode. The last scene with the broom and Henry made me wonder?

Spoiler

Mickey? I know he is not a fairy tale character but and Henry wasn't part of the curse the first time because Emma wasn't

But I don't really like Hook. I need more Regina time and I wish Graham was still on the show. I love that Henry doesn't have a lot of speaking parts. Voice changing and everything.

Spoiler

I agree. Especially about Hook. But I did think their first date, being where it was, was kind of cute. Little tribute to Lady and the Tramp there. I don't like Hook either though. Especially in how he dealt with Rumple. Hook just has too much of a bad track record and needs to get over himself. Seriously Hook, you are not as good-looking as you think you are! The statement about Rumple not changing was completely false and just made mad.

The apprentice is like from the Mickey cartoon, the sorcerer's apprentice. So while the apprentice may not actually be Mickey, Rumple changing him into a mouse was kind of a Mickey Mouse tribute. The hat does belong to Yensid according to the show's writers.

I like Regina much more now than I did in the first season. There's so many characters now that they have to split who gets the screen time. Belle is my favorite and I haven't seen nearly enough of her, though having Elsa around sort of makes up for it. Also, whether you like the Frozen story-line or not, the actress playing Anna is spot on. Kristoff too (I could go for some more Kristoff...)

Yeah, once boy's voices start changing, they are hard to work with. Same problem in chorus. It's so unpredictable that you have to shoot their scenes all at once. Otherwise, their voices start jumping all over the place. I'm also glad they jumped a year ahead as well since his voice is starting to change. That would have been awkward.

I liked Graham, but I really miss Neal. I'm glad that Will Scarlet is on now. I'm glad that there's no Anastasia, though I'm wondering what happened there (because with Will's behavior last episode, something DID HAPPEN)

You guys had fancy overhead projectors!! Ours used to look like this:

I have one of these. Every once in a while I can't paint something specific on mural like I need to, a projector helps.

When my parents were gone in January, there were nights when I would eat dinner at midnight.

 

[Gabe1]

Hmpf. Oscar de la Renta died. These first power designers are getting up there.

If this were real life, this would be the part where I would nod, smile, and pretend I know what they're talking about
