I have mine and because my parents had not chosen a name (they were sure I was going to be a girl), it says "Baby Boy __________"

Testing your memories...

Brian, I have to laugh at myself when I think about that! In my defense, I remember that I went into the Ford dealership to look at the Mustang and there was a big promotion featuring the Pinto. At the time, gas was "expensive" and scarce. We could only get gas on alternating days when it was...

How do you make it, Joe? We use escarole, potatoes, cannelloni beans, calamata olives, stock, vitamin G and onions. Cover it with grated Parmesan, have a loaf of homemade bread and a glass of red wine...Heaven!

I had a '73 Pinto for 5 months in 1973 during the "gas crisis" (or what we now refer to as the "good old days" when gas went all the way up to $.89 per gallon!). Worst car I ever owned by far! We lived in a little valley near Pittsburgh and the car could barely make it up the hill out of the...

The more I look at it and on line shots of '50's tail fins, I think it is a '57 Ford.

Yes, nurses in starched whites and doctors wearing scrubs that looked like they had been laundered in the current decade!

I did not take Home EC, of course, but I wish I had rather than useless electives I took. I do remember our girls bringing their "creations" to our home room and having their boyfriends try them, an exceedingly poor strategy for a girl trying to impress a boy.

How many of us drove off with the speaker still attached?

I had a '50 Plymouth that had three keys; one for ignition/door, one for trunk and one for glove box.

How many of you remember... I remember these on coffee and spam cans. Checking out a book.. Still have one and use it regularly to cut eggs for egg salad. Cut in one direction then rotate the egg 90 degrees and cut again. Works like a charm. One of my favorite sandwiches, fried bologna...

I have not seen one of these guys for many, many years. The reason I am posting this is I wonder if any of you "car guys" can identify the car in the background on the right. I know the car on the left is a '57 Mercury but I am having trouble with the other. I am thinking Studebaker Hawk, but I...

That appears to be photoshopped for sure. The girl on the left does not have an opposing thumb and the girl on the right is holding the stein with one finger. When I was stationed in Germany and we attended Oktoberfest, we witnessed scenes like this and they are not photoshopped! This is the...

Made a spinach and mushroom quiche for dinner. Looks okay. I am relegated to using "non dairy" or "lactose free" products to keep Mrs. Rocky feeling well. Imagine an Italian that can not tolerate cheese! She keeps a positive attitude, though, pointing out that at least it isn't wine!

My Mom was the same way, never measured anything! People used to ask for her recipes or how she made something and she could not tell them. She would invite them over to participate or to watch her prepare food but that was it. She was not a constant baker, limiting her skills mostly to bread...
