Royale with Cheese Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Post things from the past that no longer exist. TV Guide channel. You couldn't scroll through it or go to a search. You just had to wait until the auto-scroll to show you whats on now and coming up. If you were waiting on the channel and somehow missed it....you had to wait for it to cycle through again. Weekend at Bernie's II.... @teef favorite movie. AOL Floppy discs....later CD's with free hours. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaJoe Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 For my First Communion in the 60’s I was given the choice of a big party or a portable tv for my bedroom. I took the tv. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the tv. Our son and his fiancé have been gifted money from both families, plus have money of their own. The wedding is (hopefully) at the Grove Park Inn (Asheville, NC) in late August. He’s a CPA and she is a former wedding planner. [Edit: now on furlough from Omni in Atlanta where she was very good at generating group sales/conventions attached to the Convention Center....when does THAT come back?] The question was.........do you want a big open bar for everyone you’ve ever known ($$$ pi$$ed away), or a down payment on a house? Sometimes it’s best to put yourself first! . Edited April 20, 2020 by Augie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
