+ 7829V Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Those huge huge satellite dishes on top of roofs we used to have one at home. I remember changing channel sometimes meant changing satellite and then “dish” would move. http://pics.livejournal.com/zorinlynx/pic/0000514c/s640x480 marylander1940, MikeBiDude and + easygoingpal 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marylander1940 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Similar to a post above about learning the death of JFK at a young age, I was 5 when King George VI died. As he was also the King of Canada, just as Elizabeth is our Queen, it was a big deal. No television then but my dad had heard about it on the morning news on the radio. When I got up, dad was shaving in the bathroom and he looked down on me and intoned, “the King is dead”. I just looked up at him and wondered what that meant. As I got older I realized the first big change in our lives as Canadians was that we got a new face on our dollar bill, that of his daughter, Elizabeth. And on our coins as well, and postage stamps, pictures hung up in classrooms. King’s highways became Queen’s highways, King’s Counsel (KC), Queen’s Counsel (QC)., etc. It was huge! and you might live long enough to see Charles (or William) as king. I wouldn't be surprised if the Queen goes on for 10 more years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have lived during the administrations of fifteen different US Presidents, but reigns of only two British monarchs, and I am not sure I will see a third.

+ purplekow Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Ok it was an off topic food science question ? there’s an enzyme in fresh pineapple that won’t allow gelatin to set properly. The enzyme becomes inactive in the pineapple canning process. Papain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luv2play Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 X-ray machine in Sears shoe department try on shoes then look at how the fit You must be around my age as I have already commented on them being in Montreal shoe stores in the 1950’s. They disappeared sometime in the early 60’s around the time people became conscious of the dangers of radiation and banning above ground atomic tests. Now when you go for any x-ray test they drape you in lead shields. Lol, we were so innocent then. + DERRIK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @Charlie is referencing the formica table I had made for my house. I said "recently" because he hasn't been over for a while as we shelter in place.

+ EVdude Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 February 22, 10,000 B.C when Pebbles Flintstone was born. It was actually before that. My parents used Wilma’s pregnancy as a way to tell me that I was going to have a brother or sister and also to give me my first birds and bees talk. After telling me that Daddy gets real close to mommy and plants the seed, I asked “how did they know to do that in cavemen times?” In hindsight I realized that my father left the room because he couldn’t hold it together laughing. + Charlie and + bashful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
