BetteOne day you're young and fun, and the next day you're turning down the sound on the car stereo so you can see better.
thefathippyRemember my old mate who was told he'd need heart surgery, "just" a stent or two, & went on OS holidays anyway? When he returned he was told it would be a triple bypass.
Today, he's recovering from a quadruple bypass. 😱 One very lucky boy^w old man...

HumanBeing@joho I hath been repeatedly laughed at and told by my spouse if I'm gonna wear socks, smush them down. I do wear what's left of my white socks and most are now crew cut and lower (?) .
@joyce I'm not sure what memories about the first time I actually saw a t.v. happened first. (I'm around your age.). At my grandparents and great grandparents in Vermillion, OH. I saw Peyton Place and fell asleep to be carried to bed when Walt Disney was on. At home, I tried sneaking a watch of King Kong on our hi-fi (stereo?) t.v. My brother caught me and said I could watch it next year.
Very cool subject. Thanks.

Gerrit GragertAls ich #otd vor 18 Jahren zwei kleine Wesen auf meinen Unterarmen hielt, konnte ich mir nicht vorstellen, dass die beiden Kerle mich eines Tages überragen. Heute gebe ich die Verantwortung, die mir damals in die Wiege gelegt wurde, wieder ab. Es ist hier für Eltern wie beim Laufen lernen: irgendwann lässt man sie los, dass sie alleine durch die Welt tappen, bleibt aber in Reichweite, um beim Stolpern wieder aufzuhelfen. Und es bewegt mich mehr, als ich erwartet hätte. #FediEltern #GettingOld

Joyce LionaronsI just read an article in which several people 100 years old or older were interviewed about their lives. One man mentioned that he remembered seeing a TV for the first time.
I'm nowhere near 100, but I remember the first time I saw TV. I was four years old, and my grandmother bought a television -- a small screen in a huge cabinet, and we all went to her house to watch it for the first time. As I remember, it was some sort of variety show, then changed to news and I got bored. This would have been 1955. My parents didn't buy a TV for another four or five years.
Do you remember the first time you saw a television?
