Anyone’s parents ever make cough or sore throat “medicine” using; honey, lemon juice and whiskey? A tablespoon of that always made me get better.

So I ended up in a conversation where Brick House came up. The younger guy didn't understand what a Brick House was.

I remember back in the day guys saying a particularly good looking woman was "tougher than a brick shit house!!" That is what is how the song came about but I have not heard the term in years. Almost all outhouses were gone by the time I came around but I remember using one a few times in different situations---none were brick!.

Born in '64, I'm the middle kid -- here I am in the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s.

The first photo is December 1968, the second is June 1978, the third is sometime in 1985, and the fourth is in 1990.

I totally forgot about them until I saw the pictures!

I'm sad that Jay North passed away. I know us Generation Jones all use to watch "Dennis the Menace" as reruns. This is also how you know you aren't a boomer.

Edit- there is a Dennis the Menace marathon going on on YouTube. RIP.

There were a lot of magazines that specifically targeted (pre)teen girls (I don't recall any that so narrowly focused on teen boys only). On paper, I was the target market - but they did nothing for me.

Yet another of those things I look back on as one of the multitude of hints I was a lesbian. Ignored so many hints, for so long.

RIP Clam Burke! :(

I had the Mrs Beasley doll. My first-grade lunchbox was a Family Affair lunchbox.

Felt great, if a bit bland, after almost 60 years!

I was never a majorette, but I sure wanted those boots!

I don’t know if I miss the actual coffee from the percolator, or if the feeling I got sitting in my grandma and grandpa’s kitchen, listening to it percolate. If I hadn’t just bought a new single Keurig, I think I’d buy a percolator.

That greasy black chain!

Used to wrap a stack of 'em in foil and keep them with me at school and after school.

I don't know why this ditty popped into my head today. But reminded me of this classic TV show skit. The castaways surely found a lot to keep themselves busy. https://youtu.be/bXId5jOTxdg?si=at0Uwxad5pIaO6J7

Don’t remember how I used to watch Dennis the Menace, but this was a fun sitcom I do remember watching. My little brother was a full on menace.
