I can't have NutraSweet either, but last time I picked up a Fresca it had
the damn stuff in it! ARGH! Where do you find teh stuff with saccharine?

Yeah, but he used to be the only game in town. Not the guys with the
plastic hair. I also remember Dan Rather when he was a war correspondent.

You're kidding! Are you sure it isn't Jr.?

Wow. Anyone remember Sunny Jim?

>Yuck, that's something I don't miss.

My Sweetie, cultured and erudite man that he is (he picked me, didn't he?)
had a salad at a restaurant in Denver when we were there- a wedge of
iceburg lettuce, with dressing over (blue cheese?) and I think bacon bits.
I couldn't watch.

>>  Pee-Chees that had the same pictures on them

>Still available.

But they updated the pictures! And they come in colors other than that
muddy yellow! I haven't seen a *real* Pee-Chee for years! My kids have no
idea...

>Still available, Jared's top comfort food.  Better still, pimento cheese!

Nah. Meunster.! I looove monster cheese!

>Sneaking downstairs to watch TV, getting scared then fascinated by Star
Trek in
>first run

Oh.my.gawd... I used to turn a dining chair upside down and pretend it was
a console like the one Uhura had (Lt. Uhura was GOD). Some of the monsters
were scary. And I remember the one episode where the Cap'n, Spock, and
Bones had been captured by someone (that space lunatic Harry-Something?)
and they were in a cell, bare-chested. I was embarrassed! Very embarrassed!
Especially since Kirk looked ok, but Bones wasn't particlarly flattered,
and Spock looked downright BAD with his shirt off... The women all had
really cool hair though. My mom couldn't make *her* hair do that...

>Staying up late to watch the first moon landing, toasting with milk in my
Woody
>Woodpecker cup [which still holds a place of honor in the good china cabinet]

Yay! I can remember sitting on the floor in my jammies to watch. But I
didn't have a Woody Woodpecker cup. I had one of the Quik Bunny cups though!

>A warm lunch of canned ravioli was a treat on a cold day.

Oooh... my mom wouldn't buy the stuff. She was cheap.

>My first fancy restaurant.

Wow. I think I was 14 before I got to go to a restaurant that didn't have
paper menus with crayons for the kids (I'm oldest of four- we had to cater
to the youngest common denomenator). And my folks were always broke.

>Selene, living in the past, Caid

Is that anywhere near Pasadena? ;-D)

>Selene, 59 model with cushy upholstery, fading paint job but still a classic!

I love it! My upholstery is a little cushy too...
