Huaco Kid Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I was once flipping through the car radio stations and I heard the commercial, in a deep relaxing voice say, "Wwwiiiiiiiiiisssshhhhhh. WISH Golden Oldies. All oldies, all the time." Then it broke into an unexpectedly loud, "I MET A GIN SOAKED BARROOM QUEEN IN MEMPHIS......." jeeze. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 It kills me how many albums “got lost” when my mom was cleaning my room. Funny thing was nothing ever actually got cleaned. Albums got lost, “the wind” blew posters off the wall when she opened the window to air my room out and “the dogs” broke my guitars. But nothing else ever moved. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 The wind not only blew this off the wall but tore it into little pieces. This was the 3ftX6ft in store promo poster not sold to the public. She hated Rock and Roll. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Longmire Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I left all that stuff behind for the foster kids when I moved out. My room was wallpapered with black light posters, and I had a 4' black light. Some of those posters would be worth big bucks today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Went into the Navy and everything I had left was gone when I got back. Every single thing, clothes, personal items, everything. Then I understood. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how you find out the depth of the care people claim to have for you when you aren't there. Sorry for your experience. Mine did confirm that I alone was responsible for my life and no one else really mattered. Then I met my future wife. To this day I know she cares - Even when I'm not there to remind her. I guess trading my so-called family for my wife was the best deal I ever made. Met her when I was 16 and my feelings for her are still the same now as they were back then. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to wear those faggy things once when I was like 5 and you wouldn't believe the ridicule I received for it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
