They used two old-fashioned milk jars to collect all the gunk. WHY you use clear glass for a bloody puss mess???

You're playing an online game and within seconds of using voice comms somebody in your squad says "Hey Dad".

Sitting on the backseat (seatbelts do not exist) of the family car driving on some backroad on a nice Summer day and the car radio news of the state radio (100% ad-free) announcing "The popular American rock 'n roll singer Elvis Presley was found dead" and your father (behind the wheel) saying "What? No way!".

Artemis · 03-05-2022, 07:34 PM

Watching the reel-to-reel tape recorder spool very fast (parents warning: "Do NOT touch !"), whizzing sound, and waiting for the rather violent 'end of tape' fly-off with subsequent flapping sound.

Google translated that as "get rid of my little youthful grass." lol

Regularly realizing that you're still around while some others you knew have perished. Your body grew older and features some "badges of honor" from the journey of life so far, but you always ensured during all those decades to well-preserve and treasure the kid you once were.
