  1. My grandfather was born when his father was 61, in 1885. The father, himself, was born in 1824. There's a family plot in a tiny country cemetery in western New York. The cemetery has a number of vets from the War of 1812. One of the major disappointments of my grandmother's life is that the DAR wouldn't take her as a member because she couldn't document an ancestor that was part of the Revolution.
  2. I think they may still have them in the rural south. When I used to visit my mother in Starkville MS, most of the retail was closed on Sunday.
  3. The yellow ones were "Top Value" stamps. Star Markets gave those out. There were also "Plaid Stamps." I think the A & P gave those out.
  4. Even wordperfect allows you to save your work as a .doc file. Of course, .doc files have been rendered obsolete by the .docx format.
  5. Most pe Most people had turntables that played at 78 or 45 or 33.33 or 16, although I have never seen a record meant to be played @ 16RPM. The children's record players that I remember from early childhood played at 78 and 45. It is worth noting that turntables are available again. There are people who just think that the sound quality from an analog recording cannot be beat, so manufacturers are producing analog equipment again. Have no idea what speeds these turntables play at, but probably at least 33.33
  6. Everybody had a turntable with that speed. Record albums made for that speed were called "long-play" records.
  7. There was all this talk about "blue laws" and what they did and didn't allow to be sold on Sunday.
  8. smoking and non-smoking on airplanes was a fairly recent innovation - late 70s. My landlord was a snobbish older gay man who quit smoking because he felt like a second-class citizen sitting in the smoking section - whatever works. I clearly remember air travel in the 60s and early 70s before they had separated smokers and non-smokers
  9. We had Kresge's, Newberry's and Grant's. I used to do chores and errands for my mother and a couple of the neighbors for pocket money. I would go downtown to the lunch counter at Newberry's and get a ginger ale and an order of french fries. I think it cost 49 cents.
  10. When I started college, my roommate got me an inexpensive calculator as a Christmas present. At the time I thought, "What a dumb present!" Little did I know how much use I would get out of that little calculator that had only cost a few dollars.
  11. When first-class postage was 4 cents and you could mail an unsealed letter for 3 cents
  12. How about before ZIP codes were introduced?
  13. When we got our first dial phone The ice man making regular deliveries to neighbors who still had iceboxes Milk delivered in a horse-drawn wagon Utility bills on punch cards that said "do not bend fold spindle or mutilate" When most doctors had their own offices that were usually in old converted houses When most people only had one car When most people still had old radios in their living rooms that they stopped using when they got their first TV When most people had wringer washers and hung their laundry out to dry When my parents had friends over at night to play Canasta When everybody smoked everywhere and nobody thought a thing about the dangers of second-hand smoke The Jack LaLanne show Eisenhower's presidency The Cuban Missile Crisis When women wore hats to church When my mother got dressed up and wore white gloves just to go shopping
  14. D = I come undone over a hairy ass.
  15. Boys in the Sand was the first feature-length gay porn I ever saw. I was just enthralled by Casey Donovan.
  16. Wow!! What a lovely man.
  17. I have a client in the southeast who I have never met, but I think he is probably a natural alpha. There aren't that many.
  18. To me, an alpha is a man who is so confident that he naturally gets what he wants from people. He doesn't have to be pushy or bully anybody. The force of his personality does it all. I think it is probably true that anyone who says he's an alpha automatically disqualifies himself as an alpha.
  19. There is a significant skill component in fisting. No surprise you weren't very good at it, since you'd never done it before. What's surprising is that he would ask you to do it - but there are FF bottoms who enjoy training newbies.
  20. https://rentmen.eu/XXLJoe Just saw this profile for the first time - has me completely undone.
  21. That's a problem with bondage - the learning curve. My husband and I went to a workshop in it once. He was a huge hit - a tall handsome cornfed Dutchman. Everybody wanted to practice on him. I got a little jealous and had to remind myself to let him enjoy the spotlight.
  22. When I ask a guy for something I want, I usually do it in a slightly indirect way. This is just me, I'm not saying it's the best way to do it. I might say to him, "If you wanted, you could pee on me." Then he would say something like, "Really, you like that?" And I would say, "Oh yeah, I'm really into it."
  23. In the range of fetishes, WS is very tame. If you told somebody you were into watersports, the conversation would naturally go to what exactly you meant. And then you could say that you think you would like to be pissed on but you're not a drinker - or something like that. I can't imagine anyone being shocked. Peeing on your partner or having him pee on you is almost mainstream.
  24. I like museums in small doses - small, special purpose museums or specific shows or exhibits. Just going to the museum for an afternoon bores me to death.
