Now that we are on the subject of shoes, in order to get the proper fit for your Red Ball Jets, it was necessary to stick your feet in the X-ray machine. How cool was that? It was better than an all day sucker and bubble gum! Sticking your feet in th...

For those of us of a certain age, a visit to this blog is a walk down memory lane. It's also a good spot for younger readers to learn about the early days of kids' TV. Great fun!

You bring out sweet memories about the way we were and the way we should be.

Excellent topic.
There are many of us that can share our views on what we deem as equal and fair amongst the male/female partnerships!
Life is never easy when we choose to walk into the storm!
Have a very positive day!

As a boomer too (among the earlier born) I love this blog! A happy subscriber, Mike, who would never promote his own site.

Awwesome blog. I am a hippy born too late- 76 totally out of the era. I love what you have to say. Keep it up!

The first thing I notice is your archive is at the top right, you could experiment with putting it lower down. I would try a subscription widget and then maybe follow with the archive.
You want to try and make the first impression(top portion) of your blog as appealing as possible.
Nice blog template choice, I like this one because it divides things very well. One thing you could try is customizing the colors a little more or adding an image at the top behind the header.
A few of your banners and sidebar pictures don't fit into their alloted area. Try adjusting their size and or placement - this can be frustrating at first but once you figure it out, it's so much easier the next time you add something.
I used to eat spam - it was lovely with eggs. hahha! Great blog for being reminded of stuff from back in the day.
