<p>Here I come to save the day!!
You know that Mighty Mouse is on his way!</p>
<p>jym626 - you just saved me a sleepless night of trying to remember that! Owe you one!</p>
<p>Why is it we remember this stuff, but I can’t remember what I ate for lunch yesterday?</p>
<p>note my correction-- I wouldn’t want you to have any sleepless nights 
If you do, join us in the menopause mamas thread. we’re all up sweating in the middle of the night over there.</p>
<p>I sure am a bastion of useless information…</p>
<p>… Hayden…
It might actually be “you know that Mighty Mouse is on THE way (not HIS way”) They both sound right in my head. But no matter, you and I are probably the only ones remembering this minutae of trivia :)</p>
<p>and, please- I hope you aren’t seriously asking for an explanation of the intactness of remote memory vs. the vulnerability of short term memory to the difficulty with consolidating and encoding new information? Thats a work question, and I am off duty… :)</p>
<p>I’m for Mighty Mouse is on “the” way" . No evangelical interpretations in those days…I had a tee shirt with a little cape that we ordered using some cereal box tops and probably 25cents (when did they take the “cents” symbol off the keyboard!!! that dates me too I guess…) Wore it with my Mickey Mouse Hat and maybe a canteen from some cavalry show that has a name that has faded. Remote memory can be selective which is why we enjoy this collective…</p>
<p>Had to explain to a student recently what a mimeograph was…Led the oldsters to a whole discussion of now antique office supplies, like those erasers with a rubber wheel and brush!!! Long before CorrecType and erasable typing paper…</p>
<p>I think I read some posts by jym626 and mmaah, but I can’t . . . seem . . . to remember . . .</p>
<p>Now, I do remember that my older brother had a coon skin cap from Fess Parker !</p>
<p>Mimeograph… I can’t be the only one who was frying brain cells sniffing fresh mimeograph paper. Yumm.</p>
<p>I always wanted a coon skin cap but Mother wouldn’t let me have one.</p>
<p>Anyone remember organ grinders with monkeys (that collected coins from the crowd)? I loved them when I was little.</p>
<p>And don’t forget about the coin-operated riding horses in front of grocery stores. Occasionally you will still find one.</p>
<p>this is the show I watched everday it was on for at least a couple hours befrore school-

<p>BobNewman too and he gets extra points cause he lived across the street</p>
<p>Ah yes. I had the coon skin cap. Well, the top was some kind of vinyl with a picture of Davy on it. I wore it non-stop for months, mystifying my parents who thought that in 100plus+weather (high desert in California) that a plastic topped fur hat was a bit much–but when you are being a hero, you suffer. And it was worn with one of those sunsuits mentioned here previously…not exactly the pioneer look but I really didn’t care…</p>
<p>And, by free association…how about Naugahyde!!!</p>
<p>okay, what was the story with gomer pyle…and stalag 13 (i think)…</p>
<p>I SEE NOTHING< I KNOW NOTHING!!!</p>
<p>Heh</p>
<p>Hogan’s Heroes, but yes.</p>
<p>And those sofas…how many naugas died for our comfort?</p>
<p>How about “Brylcream a little dab 'ill do ya, Brylcream it makes you debonair”…I’d get my husband some, but he’s sporting the Yul Bryner look :)</p>
<p>you know when you are old when:
- the only time you feel “young” in a public place is when you visit your parent at their assisted living facility and see how old everyone there is!
- you go to sign out your kid from class for some reason during his senior year at HS and the hall monitor (adult) asks who’s grandfather are you? (actually happened to my H!!)</p>

<p>I made this mistake when my older daughter was in preschool. My daughter was trying to make friends, and after I noticed an older gentleman dropping off a girl she was playing with I commented that it was nice that her grandpa could drop her off. she says " thats my dad" oops-
He was older though- on his second family- his other kids were out of college- so it was an honest mistake- but now I don’t make assumptions anymore like " are you prgnant or are you just fat?"</p>

<p>sybbie-
It was Gunilla Knutson, not Hutton.</p>
<p>Kukla, Fran and Ollie anyone?</p>
<p>You know you’re old when . . . the thread you visit most often is about menopause.</p>
<p>sorry,</p>
<p>Guinilla Hutton was from petticoat juncion</p>
<p>How about the intense arguments among friends over which was better - Dr. Casey, or Dr. Kildare??</p>
