The lit old timers thread

Hi, I started here in 2006. This site only increased my sexual desires and helped to expand my tastes.
After a several year break i recently returned. I looked at who I used to follow and they all stopped posting. Bummer.
 
I do remember your avatar! I made some really wonderful friends back in those early days. There are a couple in particular that I really miss, as you might guess. We should talk more.
Thanks. It's almost always been the same avatar. (Briefly what is now my sigline debuted as my avatar. Then I restored this avatar.) I'm visually oriented, so I find it helpful when others do the same. Los of people have come and gone. Sadly, several are dead. Happily, some left here to start their married life. Cheyenne, who was an early member, and I have been happily married for almost 20 years.
 
I'm the worst in this part of town. In the next town there's a guy like your pilot who covers both yard and roof. It made the neighbors raise their game, and now their block is an attraction. Also in the next town is a mansion with a passion. that has some expensive decorations and everything co-ordinated to music.

Inflatables take some attention. They are at risk to wind, and if they get twisted or weighed down by ice or water the lights can touch the nylon and melt through. Better to be home while they are running. Also they draw some power, and 6 or 8 hours an evening is costly enough for only a few.

I have photosensors, with the time set for 9 hours. That's about how late we stay up. But it's light therapy that keeps me cheerful during the darkest days of the winter. In the process, I treat a lot of neighbors too. Much to my surprise it makes everybody happy.
I'm laying a little low for this winter as far as lights. I usually cover all the bushes in front of the house, but this year, only a few in the windows. The inside is less this year too, only three of the five trees have been put up.

Get off the lawn youngsters!!!
incoherent mumbling
Back in ought six we had to type five miles miles uphill both ways in the snow to post using an AT cloned with a CGA monitor.
more mumbling
Can I have my pudding now?
You think ypu had it bad???
As a kid,I had to fight my way through thick,blue shag carpet all the way across the room, to change the channel on our big Magnavox console TV, BY HAND!!!
 
I've only been through about 15 pages so far, but still haven't seen any names I recognize from when I started. It makes me feel ancient

You kids had it soft. My pappy had to drag me out with him to buy tubes for the TV after his usual repair technique of slapping the side of the television cabinet to improve reception didn't work.


I had to wait while he plugged tube after tube into a machine that tested them. Once he found the bad tube, he would purchase a new tube and return to the house to replace it.

The sight of the TVs guts spread all over the living room and my father's mournful cries of "son of a bitch won't fit into the slot" haunt me to this day.

You will never guess what I was doing yesterday. Audio rather than video, but still tubes. Unfortunately, those tube testers that used to be in every Ben Franklin store are more rare than even Ben Franklin stores. :LOL:

Tube testers I remember, Ben Franklin store, no clue. I'm a westerner all my life.

Big industrial looking gray, metal cabinets with lots of tube slots, switches, and a bunch of storage shelves for the new tubes.
 
I've had this account for a bit, and it wasn't the first one. However, I never was involved enough or had a high enough profile to now consider myself an old timer. I'm more of a comet with a highly elliptical orbit, who looks in every 20 years as I boomerang around the Sun on my way back out to the Oort cloud.
