   I copied and pasted wild. Sometimes I have to do tinyurl because all the address characters don’t highlight which means no jump.

   This one too
   Gweedo Murray says:

   Whew !!! Step away from the screen for 5 minutes….. You’re welcome for the “25 minutes to go link” guys, which came from the Folsom Prison concert record done in 1968. I thought it mighty fitting for Calvin’s close fitting “tie”. John’s rendering of “..Green Green Grass..” has a deep melancholy feel. I’m glad I didn’t hear T.J. do it, by what some of you said about it. Since it’s getting towards turnover time I will probably rerun this tomorrow.
   ‘Now today’.

   I understand it is less chaotic than a Chucky Cheese.

   How quaint to think there actually was a time when people didn’t have a DVD player in every room!

   Those were the days. Saturday movies at the local “Boy’s Club” - cartons and the serial movie that went on for 16 weeks and always left the hero about to be crushed at the bottom of the mine shaft or carried over a cliff in a runaway wagon. Gene Autrey, Superman, The Shadow. We used to live for those Saturday movies. Too bad we can’t revisit those days (at least the good parts of them).

    Dad’s thinking: But if we get a video player I’ll lose my quiet Saturday afternoons.

    could not even think about doing that, bring calvin out to a movie filled with other crazy children, that is like asking for death.

    i think dad may be a little scared of mom.

    Ditto that Tabbylynn!! Can’t believe she would take him out in public!

    This is why Calvin doesn’t have a little brother or sister.

    Way back in history when I was Calvin’s age, all the neighborhood kids went to the Saturday afternoon matinees. Thinking back on it, I’m pretty sure the parents used that time to reaquaint themselves without our interuptions.

    cgrl78 said, 10 months ago

    Yea, but back when I went to the movies, if you misbehaved you were escorted out by the usher. No refund, just leave. Oh, and don’t forget The Lone Ranger!!

    I took my little kids to a Saturday matinee once….It was like being in the middle of a two hour jail break. Never again.

    ps: Anybody remember Hopalong Cassidy??

    I loved going to the Saturday matinee marathons. My folks had enough sense to drop me off and then come and pick me up several hours later. The cost of a ticket was ten cents. I later remember how shocked I was when I went to see “Blow Up” as a teenager and had to pay a whopping fifty cents.

    Not only did we go to the saturday movies by ourselves, we could ride the bus and visit the library and walk outside after dark and not be afraid of druggies and drive-by shootongs. The good old days.

    Poor Mom! She looks like she’s had a rough morning. Calvin stays unconcerned about it all.

    FROM YESTERDAY:
    ROSE MICKEY says:that’s how we women feel about a bra. Must’ve been invented by a woman hater.
    Actually, I don’t know about the woman hater part but itwas invented by a man and his name…get this, and no joke… was Arthur Tittsley. LOL I couldn’t believe it either.

    Be careful Wild….you’re slipping into good English again. Gotta keep up the make believe foreigner routine for everyone.

    pookid54 - Wilmustang is hearing impaired. English is his second language. Perhaps it would be best to know the facts before casting aspersions.

    I used to go to the movies with my 4 older brothers and sisters when I was a little girl. We would go to the movies dressed like we were going to church. We saw “beach” movies with Frankie and Annette and The Beatles movies. I also remember getting my eyes covered when the James Bond previews came on.

    As a matter of fact, I’ve observed, Wildmustang, that your written language has way improved over the last…months is it?… that you’ve been posting.

    Does anyone wonder what Calvin did THIS TIME? That was my first thought. What did you do this time Calvin? Oh mom is soooo mad!

    Some of you are really showing your age with your comments about the Saturday matinees and the cost. Wow those were the good old days. By the time I was a kid it was 50 cents so I’m not as old as some of you lol!

    Doctortoon I love your new avatar! What a pretty kitty.

    cgrl78, I wonder if that guy’s name is why one of the slang expressions for those things is the first half of his name?

    I agree Wildmustang’s use of language has improved. His spelling is pretty good too. I’ve known a lot of deaf people and it’s hard for them to pronounce and spell words they’ve never heard.

    Dry said, 10 months ago

    @Wildmustang, I only came to realize recently that you were hearing impaired, could have never told it by your posts! I enjoy your comments!

    @doctortoon, Meant to tell you earlier, I like yur new avitar also!
