They previewed the Boeing 747 the day I was born.

Good thing I didn't feel too old already today, now I can feel it for the first time.

 

[MercyMia]

The year I was born, one of the top shows was, The Avengers and silly string was a hot toy. Life was good back in 1969.

Let us not forget, first men on the moon!

1972 ~ One of my favorite songs was at the top of the charts:

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face ~ Roberta Flack

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
To the dark and the empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
And felt your heart beat close to mine
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command.

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love
It would last till the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your face, your face, your face, your face

(oooh gives me chills)


Oooh and Adam-12 was on...I had a huge crush on one of the actors. And I had two of the Snoopy snow cone machines. I had to give one up to my little cousin. Thanks Mom.

Wild to look at that.

Most of the info was already familiar to me. But I was surprised to find that I share the same birthday (May 28th) with Gladys Knight.

But what the website fails to mention is that one of my favorite old sit-coms, The Beverly Hillbillies, was actually the highest rated sit-com of that year.

Back in the day when the pony express carried the mail there weren't any damn stamps and gas was what came out of a quadruped's backside.

Postage stamps were only 3 cents when I was born. Where's that "Old Farts" thread? I think I'd better shuffle back there.
