    Adults should watch Mr. Rogers

    I also loved the way his neighborhood changed over the years in the opening and closing credits. It always started from his real home and ends at his neighborhood home. In the early years, his house was shaped like the NET logo. That changed in 1970 when NET became the PBS we all know and love.

    Children's Horror Shows

    On YouTube, there are bits from The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. Made in Canada. 1971. After all these years the show still holds up well. Billy Van plays most of the characters (fantastic makeup jobs). His roles included count Frightenstein (a Dracula character) The Wolfman (a DJ who spun...

    The new What Made You Smile Today thread

    For the first time in years, I had a Yoo-hoo I don't know if they have it anywhere else in the country, but Yoo-hoo is a chocolate shake in a can. Or bottle. Now they come in tiny little juice boxes. Made in Carlstadt, Noo Joisey. Yogi Berra used to be the spokesperson. Used to be a fixture at...

    The "You know what?" thread

    That's fine with me. Bass is my axe, but I can sit behind the drums in a pinch. I can chip in on harmonies, but it takes a lot of wind to get through a whole song.

    The "You know what?" thread

    Thank you kind sir. That name wouldn't be too far from the truth. Besides singing in my church, I have done some lay ministry. Someday I may just become a reverend. I'm not good at the administrative side of running a church, but I've had a taste of preaching, and that might be my calling.

    The "You know what?" thread

    @Sgt. Floyd trust me, I've been in your shoes. Fear cripples you. It puts you in a corner and paralyzed you and keeps you from trying anything. I spent years living like that and found it does no good. I encourage you to try, especially with driving.Yes, it's scary out there.But worse than being...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I know how you feel. In school I was good in every subject, except math. No matter how much tutoring and extra help I tried to get, I still bombed. Geometry I did okay, but I sucked at algebra. I never even got to Trigonometry or Calculus. And because I failed math, I thought I was a failure. A...

    After ten years I finally saw Fantastic Mr. Fox. Very happy how the movie remained true to the book. When I was young, Ronald Dahl was my favorite author. You might have read or seen his other classics: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory James and the Giant Peach But as good as the movies are...

    Bible Study

    The best you can do is be an example. Be kind to others, help wherever you can, pray that God can soften their hearts. And be patient. Things don't always happen overnight. I've found while I'm waiting, God is making things happen in life. He may be silent, but He's never still.

    Dealing with depression and anxiety

    It's understandable how you feel, but the reality can't be further from the truth. You are loved, you are special, you bring a lot to this forum. You're creative and you have a lot to offer. Sometimes we are our harshest critics, and we all feel that way sometimes. But if you dwell on it, it can...

    Hanna-Barbera

    I just dug up a Magilla Gorilla box set, which I forgot I even had, and fell in love with the series again. The original tie-in, Ideal toys was going to come out with a Magilla doll for Christmas 1964(never seen one). They became the show'ssponsor, and even got a plug in the opening credits...

    It's great for pros to give young people tips and encouragement, so someday you can make your mark like they did. Some musicians I found, over the years, aren't quite as supportive. They see some young up and coming band and feel threatened, like they're not happening anymore. Very insecure...

    The New Am I The Only One Thread

    I'm doing the same thing. The story I'm creating now, I came up with a great middle. Then the challenge came coming up with a suitable beginning and end. The story has been revised and refined over time, but the core of the middle is still there. It's a good thing I don't have any deadline to...

    Halloween is just around the corner

    One popular pastime in our town... There is a stretch of railroad(trains don't come through any more) where years ago, a railroad worker walking the tracks got killed by a train. Since then, he became known as the Hooker Man. Legend has it his ghost still walks the tracks, swinging a lantern in...

    Halloween is just around the corner

    Now that we have our own house, my wife decorated every empty space with Halloween decorations. Lots of jack-o-lanterns, black cats and other light-up spookies. I'll be home to hand out the candy to the kids. I got my pirate costume all set. My wife is really big into decorating and putting up...

    Silly things you said, did, or thought as a kid

    When I was seven, my brother and I were sending away for something. We filled out the order form. Name, address, then there was a little box that said APT . We didn't live inan apartment, so Mom was curious why I tried to squeeze 1967/1968 into the little box. "Because", I informed her, "that...

    Once upon a time the cheese goldfish were all you had. The pizza ones are great. The Cheez-it Ranch grooves are my favorite. Anything ranch is okay with me.
