I never could get one of those stupid eraser wheels to work right!

You probably also remember this as well.

Every time I filled my fountain pen or wrote with it.

Thank God Mike Nesmith's mother invented Liquid Paper!

Thank God Mike Nesmith's mother invented Liquid Paper!

I read that Mike was the primary heir to her fortune .
In ’79 the Liquid Paper Corp, was sold to Gillette for $47.5 million with royalties.

And it all started with his mom “monkeeing" around in the kitchen with paints
& a blender.

Sorry!

Cartoonists in the Era used to use a thick, chalky paint called "China White" to eradicate ink mistakes. This was the obvious ancestor of "Liquid Paper."

Purely from memory (hence, subject to much error), I think Nesmith himself also made a lot of money in early video which is why he never did any of the Monkey's reunion tours. And he wrote possibly the best song the band wrote and played themselves - "Listen to the Band."

You know you're getting old when today is the 50th anniversary of the premiere of Star Trek... and you were watching that night!

⇧ Not fifty years, but I just watched 30 for 30 on the Leonard - Duran fights which were 30 years old five years ago (when the documentary I was watching was filmed) - hence, 35 years ago. I remember talking about the "No Mas" fight the day after in high school.

You are getting old when things like this bother you

One of the local Jimmie Johns delivery people has chosen to hang his bike from a tree rather than using the adjacent bike rack.

Yoga... Yoga-school, or what?

That's not a getting old thing, that's just plain stupidity.

As I get older, not many things get to me.
Except for this.
It's just plain cruel.

Good one:

When you are realizing, that you were 8 years on 56K and now already 12 years on DSL.

Bought this when I was young & the fit was perfect.

But over the years the fit was tight.
Today since I don’t eat as much,
the fit is perfect once again.

We now have a law in Maine allowing passersby to legally smash a car window to come to the aid of a locked-in pet. A law that's long overdue. Now if only we could legally smash the heads of people who'd lock a pet in a hot car.

I could no more leave these three alone in a car- hot or otherwise- than leave a baby alone in a car.

It's been a half century and more ago, but I recall people in our lower-income district in Madison, Wisc. leaving dogs out all night during the winter.

It gets cold in Wisconsin. Damn cold. A bit of straw and an old blanket or two in a doghouse counts for something, I suppose, but it doesn't count for much when it's 15 below.
