In hindsight, I'd say my instincts were right not to buy one of these not-so-bad boys. A few of my friends succumbed to social pressure. Still better than parachute pants or those bright beach pants.

Alright Jonesers, here's a Halloween mystery to solve! I bought this little guy from a mall bookstore in the 90s, because as soon as I saw him it unlocked a memory of him in a cartoon from my childhood! (1960s or maybe very early 70s)

In the cartoon the little vampire has bitten a drunk, so he is now drunk too. He had a tiny voice if I remember correctly, and you could not make out any words.

It is not from Bugs Bunny, although there is one with a similar idea of a vampire with hiccups. I have posted to Reddit before with some recognition but no firm ID. But maybe with all you wonderful people who might have seen it too?

How many relatives and friends did you know that had Artex? My aunt was deep into it. So much fun and so much stink 😁

I always loved this commercial.

Who here thought the same thing as a kid watching The Lone Ranger reruns?

This movie was cute and I loved John Denver.

This movie scared me , especially the first time I saw it.

It seems these were the most popular board games that I grew up with. There were a lot of laughs and many memories made.

Update: Thank you all for your suggestions and kind thoughts. I have started a Buy Nothing account and I already have people coming for some of the big stuff. I will keep up with that. I put in a call to Habitat from Humanity and I'm waiting for a call back. I am also waiting to hear from a group called International Institute that helps refugees. I'm glad that others will use my old things rather then put in trash . But I know there will be a dumpster in my future.

I am getting ready to move from an eight room house to a small four room condo. The new place is great but I don't know what to do with all my stuff. My kids have lovely homes and none of the grands are old enough to move out. I have tried putting some furniture on Facebook market place for very inexpensive prices but it seems my stuff isn't fashionable. Has anyone else dealt with this and found a solution other than a dumpster? I close on the condo in two weeks and I don't know what to do.

Hi my people- I’ll make this short- A year and half ago, my husband passed away after a 3 year battle with cancer. We were both second marriages that actually worked out well- we were in it for the full run. We were happy. The house we bought 30 yrs ago is the house he wanted- I did not like it- but I would deal with it. Its fine, but needs updating now. My entire family has moved out of the area I live in. The friends I did have, moved on while I was caring for my husband. Its a majority of couples who don’t seem to believe in third wheels. I’ve been thinking A LOT about moving out of my increasingly overcrowded, overpriced city. I’m working on visiting a place I’m interested in out of state. The thing is- this is the first time in my life I have ever not been accountable to anyone- husband, parents, kid, grandson. I’m doubting myself- I would be 2 hrs from 2 brothers- now its a plane ride. It is SO hard to make new friends here in my age group.I just don’t think I can stay where I am. If I’m going to meet new people, maybe I need to get out of the city. Either way- I’m essentially on my own. I really need to jump- but I just feel so unsure- Anyone have a similar experience-and what did you do.
