In 1989, I was 33 years old, living in Los Angeles, in the 5th year of what is now going on a 24-year relationship with my "sigot." I will start a "New Year's Eve Celebrations" thread where I'll post some pix of us in our dotage -- we're both 51. {{{*SCREEEEEAM!!!*}}}

The organ was actually recorded on the MGM lot in Culver City, California. One of the large sound stages there used to have a Wurlitzer theatre organ [it's no longer there], and that's the organ that was used - sans tremulants. Yes, you read it right. Those who are organists, knowing this...

Good Lord. Is 1989 "retro" now? I sure am getting old...

I have had venison and can't say I'm crazy about it it. In other news, gas today in West L.A. was $3.79/gal. I asked the proprietor if the price of gas included a tube of KY. He didn't get it.......

Yaaaaaaaay!! Well bully for Apple!!!

I used Mosaic when it first came out. I remember it very well. It was absolutely dimension-shattering. Prior to that, the Internet was all text based. It was only with the advent of Mosaic that people could design (and see) web pages with graphics. And despite a certain politician's claim to...

P.S.: Since Netscape and Firefox are virtually identical, those who believe they were getting spyware from Netscape would now be getting it from Firefox!

I think a history lesson is in order here. Netscape was the first widely used graphical interface for the Internet. It was based on an earlier "open source" web browser called Mozilla. Netscape was not originally "married" to AOL. That did not happen until many years after Netscape had been...

Okay, so this eBay seller has created a listing and entitled it "Do NOT bid on this pin, it is NOT available anymore! th" --- meaning, the pin was already not available when the listing was made -- otherwise, why would they have given it that title??! Does this make sense to anyone? What am I...

Nope, it was Hardees.

Too bad. I have been using Netscape since the very first version came out, and indeed am using it at this moment. I am largely indifferent by now to the various browsers since they are all pretty much the same (except for IExplorer which still is typical MSoft "kludgewear"), but where Netscape...

And here's another one--

This is amazing!!

There are few things more fabulously delicious than home-made Cream of Mushroom Soup!

Thanks for the cookbook tip; sounds right up my alley! I'll have to check it out. btw the other fast-food place I was trying to think of was HARDEES. They actually had pretty decent burgers -- far better than McDs because they were charbroiled. On a real charcoal grill, instead of being "flame...

Burl Ives, hehheh. That figures. This is the sort of thing he would have sung. I don't know why, but I always thot of him as sort of "pervy." Even when I was a kid, something about him gave me the creeps. Same for Sterling Holloway.

Deep red window covering is actually magenta - vinyl retractible (roll-up) window shades. I got them at a hardware store here in L.A. called "Builders Discount" a few years ago. That store is now gone. I don't know if you can get this type of window shades in colors anywhere else - I have only...

Yes, house cats ARE very crafty. And Sneaky. And they never forget. And they DO get even.

You Know You are Getting Old... when you go into the bathroom, sit down, and then forget why you went in there.
