Unfortunately you can't quit life, no matter how much it sucks right now. (There is one way out some people have chosen- I've contemplated it myself- but that is NOT the answer.) Would it be possible to move out, live with your Abuela, or even maybe have your boyfriend's parents take you in-...

It's always better to talk to somebody, if not a friend then maybe a teacher or minister or somebody who will listen. Keeping things bottled in won't help. There are plenty here that have been in your shoes who you can open up to. Myself included. You can PM me if you feel like talking.

call me an old fart for borrowing DVDs out of the library, but they're free, hassle-free, gluten-free, and all they'll cost you is your time to watch them.

Who is the more annoying GEICO mascot? Maxwell the pig or Rick the screaming goat?

Another one that didn't sit well with me was Ernie borrowing Herbert Birdsfoot's vacuum cleaner. It was so out of character for Ernie (only second season, still trial and error) to go from easygoing pal to raging psychopath. I gather they were trying to teach (if they could never enforce) don't...

I wonder if the Confederate flag is still flying out in front of Six Flags Over Texas? Will they take it down and change their brand to Five Flags?

It shows how different monsters on the street became after Jim's death. While Jim was alive (especially in the early years) he had no reservations about bringing scary ugly creatures before the cameras. And if a few kids get the pants scared off them? Cool! Chalk up another one. Sometimes I...

I've said it before and I'll say it again. When the time comes, it's best to forgive them. Not doing so won't make you feel any better, and the anger and hate inside you will eat away at you like cancer. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. It's especially hard, the people we love the most...

I was never too receptive to "We All Sing With the Same Voice". After years of stressing how unique we are as individuals, to be lumped together as we are all the same (especially the same adenoidal whine), seems a little... creepy. At least Smurfy-creepy. Even the one dissenting line...

If bumping old threads is a crime, then cuff me and stuff me. But thank you again hooperfan/sesame maniac, you made more than just my day for sharing this. 33 years is a long time to wait.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!! I just saw one of my holiest of grails, The Boy, The Girl, and the Jellybeans. I've been waiting since 1982 to see this again. Before YouTube was invented, people my age thought we had to rely on our memories to enjoy something as old as this. I kept...

Maybe they "aired" on the side of caution:)

If the ketchup bottle ate a hot dog with ketchup on it (you can see mustard in the commercial , ketchup maybe) wouldn't that be cannibalism? How do the powers-hat-be feel about that?

You'll be glad you did. In April 2008, I forgave my dad after 20 years of being angry at him. I had my peace with him.That September he died. If I didn't come to peace, it would've been too late, and I'd still be regretting it. Maybe your counselors can help make it easier for you. It may be...

Heinz Mustard. People dressed in costumes as bottles of condiments. Heinz Ketchup hooked up at a party with Heinz Mustard, and Ordinary Mustard still bitter after breaking up with Ketchup. (Now she's hanging with a hot dog. What a weenie!((pardon the bad pun))) But seeing the bottle of ketchup...

It makes my head spin trying to follow who owns what anymore. I'm not quite sure how Warner Bros. acquired MGM properties like Tom and Jerry and "The Wizard of Oz" (a lot of dizzy wheeling and dealing). Popeye (long-time Paramount property) now under Universal, and so on. I guess money talks...

It was almost as hot up here the last few days, but the humidity was brutal. Tuesday the air was thick as soup, then the skies opened up, and I felt it was time to build an ark. But then the rain stopped, and even though it was still humid, we had the most brilliant sunset I've seen in ages...

Thanks again for what you have been able to post. I'm certainly grateful to see some of these gems again after... decades sometimes. And it's always a shame, no matter how much cool stuff you post, no matter what trouble you went through to bring it to people, some will never appreciate your...

I know how you feel, and I know what a nightmare it is having an alcoholic parent. I know the hate and anger you have. It's easy to resent your mom for how she abuses you, and I don't blame you for how you feel. It breaks my heart you're suffering the same pain I did. But your boyfriend and...

I still remember not too long ago when the Paley Center (I remember when it used to be on East 53rd Street) used to be the only place to see old Henson commercials, Sesame's first episode, and other Muppet goodies. In some ways, it's great there's so much more available today. But coming into...
