Frank's ford, in the Caintuck
So many of you youngsters have no idea the horror of us who hit high school the same time as disco, there were not near the amount of musical options (no walkmans yet, only boomboxes!!!:laugh:) and pop was all Donna Summer and stuff, it was so awful...even the Moody Blues put out a disco album, shudder.........one of the worst quarters of high school in my life is being in PE dance and having to learn the moves of both disco and country -- and the ignomy of being good at it and the crap I got for being graceful was tremendous, it has prevented me getting on the dance floor for years!!!:laugh: I was a member of the Insane Coho Lips (Man, WLUP was 'Chicago's Kick-... Rock', that slogan was controversial at the time!!!8-o8-o8-o) abd Disco Suckswas painted on nearly every stop sign in the subdivision!!!:thumbs:

You rich people and your fancy boomboxen. For portable music I had a transistor radio--my second one had FM!--and for recorded music I had to run the AUX from mom and dad's console stereo into the reel to reel I bought at a yard sale. I had the biggest collection of Beatles, Pink Floyd and Alice Cooper around, even though I didn't have a lot of albums :lol:

I also managed to dub copies of a couple of dad's Miles Davis albums, a Ventures compilation, a Duane Eddy album and Henry Mancini's Greatest Hits. And his copy of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. I always found it interesting that he had no CSN or Neil Young, but he had two copies of Deja Vu...

NO NO cigs are BAD !!!!
Believe me ...they were HAUNTING me in my dreams last night ??
And you'd think after 15 months I would be done with that ?? STUPID CIGS !!
I have no interest in them @ all ...so why am I dreaming about smoking ???
or just having them,don't actually remember smoking....but I had some....
It was so detailed, I could feel the coolness of the metal lighter in my pocket & the squarness of the pack ???
WTF came to mind when I woke up !!

Lost another GGTS contest and the SOB made fun of me.......I guess you find out who your friends are and who they are not........:(

Ya, I know what you mean... Not one friend told me about a GG contest :(


How about a contest that no one wins (and I mean no one!!):

OK, ok -- but I'm not allowed to advertise about contests on other forums, been warned about that once already -- but I should have PMd every one of the commiserators, I suck, thought it was supposed to be set up for me but what the heck was I thinking......man, I should never ever have gotten out of bed today.....I'm so tired of being a competitor and never a victor (did you see I pulled out of the gotvapes ones, too?), even when a lucky charm like loveridden enters for me I lose (thanks for trying, darling!:thumb:)!!! Enough self-flagellation and off the pity pot I go!!!:thumbs:

And natalia, you've been promoted!!!:)

Awwww Rip - your time is coming!! I know it! In the meantime try to just go into the contests as a fun thing, or something to do, don't go into them too seriously, most of the time I don't enter the ones that take a lot of effort lol - my favs are the easy ones that people just randomly win! Just keep trying Rip but limit which ones you do too to lower your frustration level! It's all for fun and you are gonna win big some day!! (Maybe not the lotto but perhaps a nice mod or gift card lol). Just be patient!! *HUG*
