Maybe it's something I have to look forward to. Or maybe it's already happened and I forgot. lol

I remember phone numbers I called 30 years ago but can’t remember why I got up and walked out of my office.

Short term memory loss. They say one of the things that can be attributed to is smoking weed. lol

I used to. Quit more than 15 years ago.

That would be Barney Miller. Loved that show.

Didn't get TV Guide, though. The L.A. Times had a TV guide that we used. Not as good but it came free with the newspaper.

It's on channel 323 on DirectTV every night right after Hart to Hart, and before Maude.

The Brady Bunch was shown on here a while ago, that looked dated but I liked it.

Yep. They sure were.

The movies that made fun of them were pretty funny.

That scene in the second movie where the guy who pretended to be Mrs. Brady's husband ate the mushrooms.

Oh yeah, I remember those subs. I had several of them over the years. Put in the baking soda and watch them submerge, then come up again. Great fun!

Talk about digging through the cereal to find said toy.

...when remembering that other time there were long gas lines (from the Arab oil embargo of '73-74)...your license plate's last number (odd or even) dictated what day you could cue up.
