If you had "Bezos Money"????
I had a similar experience, having parents who were teenagers/young adults throughout the Great Depression. Like yours, they passed lessons learned and values down to my older brother, older sister, and I, and those lessons and values have mostly served me well. When I met my late wife in the...- Zombie_61

You know you are getting old when:
A mall in my hometown--essentially two parallel rows of retail stores with a big department store at each end--was a favorite among the local, older "Mall Walking" devotees, but a common complaint was that it was an "open air" facility that provided no protection from whatever the weather was on...- Zombie_61

Hat color selection
I've mentioned this somewhere here on The Forum before, but the true colors of EVERY felt hat I've purchased online (as opposed to in-person) have been something of a surprise to me when I finally saw them. Felt is, apparently, difficult to photograph because it isn't a solid surface; the... -
The Dobbs Diner...
You might want to check with Nick F***it first just to make sure he hasn't beaten you to the punch. ;) But seriously, nice hat and nice shape! -

Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?
I think I'm being a little generous by saying that most people born after 1990 would not understand the significance of Mr. Grisman's statement. That's phenomenal. My late wife and I didn't own even one microwave that worked longer than 10 years.- Zombie_61

What Cap Are You Wearing Today?
Great cap! Once you've worn it a while and the material "relaxes" it's going to look even better on you. -

Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?
And, at least here in the U.S., we've been conditioned to think this way. "Fix it? Fix what? We can't get parts for these anymore." Planned obsolescence. :rolleyes:- Zombie_61

Vintage Photos of Kids in Hats
It wouldn't surprise me to learn that returning those bottles for the refund played a part in that young man on the right getting that Porkpie hat. -
The Return of "Pulp" Heroes?
And that's only one part of the equation. Another part is finding an audience--the studios can make all of the Doc Savage and Tarzan movies they want, but if nobody wants to see them... And, let's face it--there are already too many franchises for the money-grubbers to sink their teeth into...- Zombie_61

Show us their hats!
And another of Robert Blake wearing a Whoopie cap when he was still Mickey Gubitosi (from one of the Our Gang shorts he appeared in). -

If Money Was No Object.
This is the ONLY reason I'd love to be rich--so I would never have to worry about having enough money ever again. Sure I'd like to buy a few "toys", but even without money that dream bubble has burst because of "every gas-powered vehicle on the planet" going the way of the dinosaur eventually...- Zombie_61

“WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...
Maybe, but I'm guessing photos of Ed Gein souvenirs wouldn't be particularly welcome here. -

No donkey, but there's surely a jackass or two in that crowd.
