  1. I remember seeing him on TV in either the late 50's or early 60's. The Elements triggered the recall.
  2. I had cataract surgery 3 years ago. I could get along fine with a daily routine, but the cataracts really showed up when I used a VR headset. After the surgery, my vision improved from requiring glasses for driving to nearly 20/20. Amazing. If you are old, you may develop cloudiness later. There is a procedure to eliminate that called YAG. I had that about 6 months ago, but I still have a little cloudiness left. I don't find it convenient to have to use readers. I need 1.25 to see my computer monitor, but 2.5 to read at normal book distance. I have been using Dollar Store readers for that, although I also have two pairs of progressive readers that I got at Walmart for $25, which work well when I am on a phone or tablet. I understand that Medicare will reimburse part of the cost for new glasses, but I'm unsure of the exact amount. I suggest starting with the cheaper readers, to see if you can get along with single correction or if you prefer something else. When I finally decide to get a new pair of glasses, they will be progressive readers.
  3. That would cost you a nickel in the 60's. It would be at least $1.50 now. And that would be without the coin cards.
  4. This is the sadest song I know. And since it doesn't seem right to have 5 pages of posts on Sad Songs and nothing by Roy Orbison.
  5. So he was like Peterka. Scored a lot of goals, but in the end, his contribution wasn't what he thought it was.
  6. Namath with good knees was amazing.
  7. As the only pitcher in baseball history to have thrown a no-hitter at Coor's field, it must have been before they figured him out.
  8. He may have been baseball's ultimate flake.
  9. I saw the Yardbirds in concert Sunday night in Homer,NY. It was fantastic. They may not have Beck or Paige anymore, but the three guitarists they do have were perfect. That and the history of the Yardbirds from the start until they morphed into Led Zepellin. The singer even sounded like Keith Relf. I bring this up because they are in Annapolis, Md at Rams Head on Stage tonight. If you like Rock, Blues or great guitar playing, you should take this opportunity to see them. I would readily go if they were close to me.
  10. I haven't read all the posts in this thread, so I don't know if anyone else mentioned this. There was a game in the playoffs, I can't remember which game, where the left tackle performed the exact same move that Dawkins did. No penalty. On top of that, the announcers singled the play out as a great technique. I wish I could remember the game but too many playoffs games blur my memory.
  11. Why did the have the Sabres suit up for football to play this game?
  12. At first I thought it was just a Super-pick, but on the replay it like it was also a hold. Technically, is this a penalty or not/
  13. How can you knock that song? It's been REMASTERED!
  14. You know, the women were playing the same game. Why do you think Tex won every night?
  15. He won his first 9 games, 5 by complete game shutouts. He won the Rookie of the Year award and the CyYoung for the year. I believe he is the only player who has done that. RIP
