Doctor showed up, at our home to treat me. I remember my mom asking him something and he said "you'll have to come to my office now, we're not doing house calls anymore. We are all having offices and you'll have come to see us now...". I'll never for get that... Living has taught me one thing; nothing is certain...except salvation through Jesus Christ! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84032585 08/18/2022 04:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember in the summer of ‘70, I was a young teen and I got box from my friend full of random stuff. In it, there was this 8-track cartridge. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84032095 I had a deck in my room so needless to say, I listened to it quite a few times, almost wore out the tape. I don’t know what happened to the cartridge, was probably thrown out. I Never thought I would see or hear about it ever again, then a thread here a few days ago mentioned something about them. I stared searching the web and was able to track down and get the name of the one I had. Even more surprising, I discovered someone uploaded it online in great quality. I still remember that same artwork. It brings back a lot of memories listening to it now in my old age. So people were supposed to beat off to that? No way anyone was getting off to that shut lmao! It’s completely unsexy and cringe. So you were just supposed to pop one of these in your Ford Pinto right after work? Lol |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 81419063 United States 08/18/2022 05:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Every summer when I was kid, my old man would load us all up in my mother's Ford Country Squire station wagon and take a trip to Florida for a week's vacation. On the trip back, we would always stop at a road side stand and buy a baby alligator. Of course, they don't survive too well in the Midwest. |
