    I met Mr. Dressup about 8 months before he died. Nice man! And his show as a zillion times better than Mr. Rogers.

    That is so cool, I would have loved to have met him. Mr. Dressup and Sesame Street are the only kids shows I really liked outside of cartoons. Mr. Rogers gave me the creeps could never watch that show.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    They used to play the Canadian National anthem over the PA every morning at the start of the day. We all stood up next to our desks and listened while someone in the main office played the song from a tape cassette into the microphone lol.

    Wow. That is fancy. We sang it every morning, but we just had to go a Capella.
    And then say the Lord's prayer, while the 2 Jewish kids and the Sikh kid went and stood out in the hall. image
    Lol, awkward.
    Another habit says it's in love with you
    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    I got them all right...
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Well it's a pretty great explanation as to why they had to stop doing the Lord's Prayer in public schools!

    Electric Company sounds vaguely familiar so I might have seen it but not sure, I've never heard of Zoom.

    Electric Company was from the 70s, featuring a very young Morgan Freeman.

    Gotta say that Family Guy has lost its luster for me, but that was hilarious.

    I remember not having toy's,But plenty of trees around the barn and the old hen house to play tree tag.Going out on adventures on what we named Lost Creek,Leaping bolder to bolder all the way up and back.Hiking up Mission Hills Rd. and catching scorpions on sticks,waiting till they almost reached your hand,Then switch it around.Sometimes we'd get sidetracked. Oop's! Climbing to the top of the Pine Trees,Then sliding down the branches.Jumping from the roof to the Hay Pile,But you had to clear the barbed wire fence.Instead of running with the Bull's we played running from the Bull,Straight to the Pine Trees.Catching Pollywogs, and Salamanders,Snakes and Lizards. What I'm getting at, Is that, Instead of Imagination Station, We had to use our Imagination.Back when life was much simpler.
