I remember buying an Osmonds fanzine in about '72 or '73 that had a flexidisc on it. I had never seen the like before. I had to have it. From then on, any magazine that has some kind of freebie attached to the front, no matter what it is, I try to justify in my mind why I need it. Fortunately i am an adult with self control and can prevent myself from buying it. I'm not sure why i mentioned this but there we are.Jeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-57179259390204030072009-04-08T20:14:00.000-05:002009-04-08T20:14:00.000-05:00I had totally forgotten some of these small moment...I had totally forgotten some of these small moments of youth, thank you for bringing them back to me so vividly. I was able to remember so clearly shoving my whole arm in a box of cereal to get the crappy toy before my little brother...and in reading your words I could almost taste the sugar sludge at the bottom on the cereal bowl. (Let me guess, did you also eat all of the marshmallows out of the Lucky Charms too?)Sherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080214292545820027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-39947340244498526892009-04-08T19:31:00.000-05:002009-04-08T19:31:00.000-05:00I lived for collecting the 3D baseball cards in Ke...I lived for collecting the 3D baseball cards in Kelloggs cereal. Every team had a single representative (Cubs: Bruce Sutter? Cool! Sox: Wayne Nordhagen? WTF!). In terms of quality, they were only a cut or two above the cards on the Hostess boxes (which I also loved; completely tore up more than a few store displays of Twinkies looking for Rod Carew) but I still think they're some of the coolest things ever.Clarkhttp://clarkjbrooks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-30191122750597080082009-04-08T17:03:00.000-05:002009-04-08T17:03:00.000-05:00FYI-- your friend Sherry-- I'm pretty sure she acc...FYI-- your friend Sherry-- I'm pretty sure she accused you of "dicking around on facebook" in equally guilty jest.<BR/><BR/>But THIS is what I'm talking about, Riss. Oh I know full well about being uninspired to write... I've had some massive bouts of it... but when you plant yourself in front of the keyboard and aren't mugging in some hilarious video (which I love, don't get me wrong), your talent absolutely erupts. It's what writing is all about... touching other people.<BR/>I swear... I remember being forced to eat the healthy cereal and scraping away at the sugar that fell to the bottom. I remember a little grocers like that in Frankfort, just maybe 20 miles from where you were?, with black and white checkered floors that buckled under age or maybe tree roots... and being fascinated with the blood stuck under the plastic wrap when my mom would visit their butcher. For some reason, older people in small towns were still living in the 60's during the 70's. They still had those glasses with heavy black trim and yeah, the beehives which I created successfully years later myself... not using THEM as inspiration, but the B52s instead. <BR/>Thanks, Marissa, for showing me your childhood and zapping me back to my own simultaneously. <BR/>This post is a perfect example of why you need to write. <BR/>XOLydianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-63462249475059693212009-04-08T16:47:00.000-05:002009-04-08T16:47:00.000-05:00Nathan, thanks bunches.

I was wondering how items were added to the data base. For the record, I often refer to the John Bender quote from "The Breakfast Club" when I hear the word 'social' -- "so,it's social. Demented and sad, but social." -- totally not a personal jab. I am, after all, a rabid Facebooker now.Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640540606897546407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-60930846431418297642009-04-08T16:30:00.000-05:002009-04-08T16:30:00.000-05:00:D I absolutely loved this post!Of course, now tha...:D I absolutely loved this post!<BR/><BR/>Of course, now that I know all those really annoying Top 5 lists come from the same app, I can now block it.

I'm glad to hear using the LivingSocial app sparked some positive memories. That said, I'm not too sure about the new name (Living Social; Demented and Sad, but Social) :D.<BR/><BR/>I see that you are a movie lover judging by your blogger profile. I highly recommend you check out LivingSocial: Movies (it is a separate FB app) at http://apps.facebook.com/dvdshelf. You can use it to catalog the movies you've seen and then display them on your Facebook profile.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Adam L<BR/>LivingSocial.comAdam Lhttp://livingsocial.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6667863265247186336.post-778930914117308552009-04-08T14:50:00.000-05:002009-04-08T14:50:00.000-05:00Thought I posted a comment earlier but don't see i...Thought I posted a comment earlier but don't see it, so here goes again, sorry if the original wanders in and doubles up.<BR/><BR/>Love the post and remember those kind of days myself.
