Good morning everyone
Happy Friday
Today we say goodbye to April and hopefully the last of the cold weather for our northern friends.
It is going to be in the 90 this weekend I will gladly send some of that heat to anyone who is interested

I have a very busy day ahead so I and going to start with the most fun part

Today's Question(s):

When I was little I really wanted ________ and/or _______because a lot of the kids had them ?


Bonus Question:
Yesterday we talked about what famous people we wanted to have lunch with

How many of you said " OOOO I want to have lunch with this person too " while reading other posters answers ?


Extra Credit Question:

In honor of scale & honesty day

Have you ever "fudged" the numbers a bit when asked "How much do you weigh" ?

Speaking of weight

Where is "Wanda the weight loss Fairy"
I would be really happy if she could make ________ pounds disappear ?


Just for Fun:

What "College Fads" do you remember being popular when you were younger ?



Today in History:
1772 - John Clais patents 1st scale
1885 - Boston Pops Orchestra forms
1889 - 1st U.S. national holiday, on centennial of Washington's inauguration
1904 - The Ice cream cone makes its debut
1947 - Maps had to be changed as Boulder Dam was changed back to its original name, Hoover Dam. Some people, mostly those who live in the community of Boulder, Nevada, still refer to the dam as Boulder Dam
1955 - A few University of Iowa men students released a little pent-up energy. They conducted the first ever panty raids at the women’s dorm.
1952 - Mr. Potato Head is 1st toy advertised on television


Word of the Day:

recalcitrant \rih-KAL-sih-truhnt\ , adjective;
1. Stubbornly resistant to and defiant of authority or restraint.

What "College Fads" do you remember being popular when you were younger ? I remember a movie that came out where teen age boys on a football team lay down on the yellow line on the road & dared cars to run over them...

Have a great day! Stay safe!

I should use the word of the day, but I'm just too recalcitrant to do so.

A miniskirt. Until I found out how cold you get when you walk to school in Buffalo in November wearing a mini skirt.

Streaking. But I was never sure if they were streaking or maybe it was just laundry day and they had to run naked because everything was in the wash.

Quiet "Honestly" none. When first attending college I was a charter student and the campus was located in WWII airport hangers and was so strict we could not wear blue jeans. Some might classify "Beetle Haircuts" as a fad?

I never realized it when I was a kid but we apparently had more, financially, that the other kids I knew. I don't remember wanting anything that other kids had that I could not get either by asking or saving.


Bonus Question:

There were a few

Males don't care enough to fudge. That's an item that Lisa missed on her list. We proudly wear our waist size, on a tag, attached to our jeans.

Speaking of weight

Where is "Wanda the weight Fairy"
I would be really happy if she could make 20 pounds appear on Mrs D. She's below 75 and her doc & I are concerned. This isn't the prayer thread but any that are offered will be appreciated.
