Remember when you had to research something, you actually had to go to the library and dig around in encyclopedias?

My parents bought the Encyclopaedia Britannica, but it was basically useless for any of my high school porjects. I did enjoy the yearly Books of the Year - they generally had some interesting things in them.

I quite enjoyed David Lynch's Dune movie which was Kyle Mclachlan's debut and also had Sting in it as Feyd-Rautha: I think I enjoyed Denis Villeneuve's more though. It's very much in that tradition of The Lord of the Rings - cinema is a different format and can't capture the depth that's in the novels and they had to change some things because of that, but they've done a wonderful job of capturing the spirits of the books.

There's this other strange trend lately of reviving old series - not remaking them, but revisiting them at a later date. Did Fuller House start that?

Thankfully, your daughters and grand-daughters don't have to tolerate attitudes like yours anymore.

The blurb says "Those enjoying retirement" - I'm nowhere close to that yet, even if I am over 50.

12 day old account making misogynistic posts in the forums - you'll be perma-muted or gone soon, so there's not a lot of point responding to you. Bye!

I remember when we used cool phrases like gnarly,  tubular, etc.

According to Madam Marfona LouisLunchbox's "essentials" are anything but gnarly.

I remember when Thrifty’s ice cream was a NICKEL for a one scoop cone! A three scoop cone was only 15 cents! And Madonna had not had any plastic surgery yet!

And someone who was good-looking was a “fox” or “foxy.”

I think that's still used.

I remember when I could go in a store with a dollar and get 5 candy bars, a 2 liter soda, 2 beers & a few things of beef jerky.    But now they got all those dang security cameras everywhere.
