    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    When you learn that friends you haven't heard from recently......there is a reason.....and it's not what you think.

    Getting old sucks sometimes.

    You know you ARE getting old when . . .

    You start looking back at things you wished you had kept from your younger years because you liked them so much.

    In the 1970's, I had a British tweed sport coat with a belt in the back. I see some of these coats on the shows I watch from time-to-time on BritBox. (I had a similar styled summer suit, too)

    So, I Googled for info about the style and by magic, a listing of a vintage coat appeared on eBay. The coat is my size at 43 Long. I am struggling "NOT" to purchase.

    NOTE: My COVID episode in March of this year is the reason my body returned to almost the size I was in the 1970's.

    I had to reply YES to this question below, but I don't really remember doing it.

    You may be old, but are you "Installed Windows 95 from a bunch of floppy disks" old?

    I remember playing that with my sisters. Do they even still sell those?

    Probably banned due to choking hazards galore. :#

    I think I'll look for any stats on this toy. :o

    I didn't see anything negative about the game; in fact, just the opposite. The creator started in his basement and then moved to a building in Tennessee with 125 employees. He then sold it. He had a few successful games/toys also.

    He passed up buying the rights to Scrabble. He ALWAYS regretted that!
