We have an A&W/Long John Silvers here. At least we did, not sure if it's still open. I'm rarely in that part of town anymore. I do remember the last time I went, I ordered a root beer.... and they were out. Out of root beer.
Ew ya I've heard about centipedes but never had any issue or ever seen one inside or in the basement.
As for spiders one of my friends used to joke that underneath the basement/foundation there's the mother spider half the size of the house.

Got word this morning that a former coworker passed away this morning. He was about my age, early 50s. He actually had a major stroke back in 2016 and although he survived, never really recovered to any significant degree. To my knowledge he was never able to communicate or take care of himself. His wife cared for him at home the vast majority of the time. I can't fathom what the family has been through. And honestly the thought of living in that condition for years scares the living daylights out of me. Sad situation all around.

We had one as well.OMG hell yes I remember these. You turned the dial in the direction you wanted the antenna to turn & it made a noise that sounded like gears grinding. Or at least my grandmother's did.
Shit I'm old
Also old.

I remember the bunny ears when I was real young at a camp but other than that the worst I can remember is basic cable.

Had the exact same box on top of the old woodgrain Zenith Console. The antenna was in a small room off the attic, because my dad refused to put it on the roof.

I got back from holidays in Newfoundland 3 weeks ago, it rained for like 15/20 days I was there.
Came back home and I don't think I've seen a cloud in 3 weeks. Just dry, sunny and hot.

I wish we had a few different response emojis because none of the 4 available can possibly convey feelings about these situations. I am so sorry, my heart goes out to what your coworker and his family have gone through. That scares me too, I wouldn't want to live that way and the stress on everyone is horrendous. My MIL was on her back for about 10 years after suffering two strokes. Just take me, don't leave me that way.

We had a Zenith! It got so bad we used to have to flip the power rocker switch back and forth rapidly multiple times for it to turn on properly, otherwise the horizontal hold went wonky. lol
We also used rabbit ears. Problem was, the best location was with them stretched across the door to the basement, where us kids liked to play. So if we ran up the stairs and opened the door without knocking, off flew the antenna and let's just say dad was not happy if he was trying to watch something.
Oh, and never forget the snow on the screen when mom was using the electric mixer in the kitchen.
Kids these days have noooooooo idea lol
Anyone have one of those tv’s encased in wood? Wood Jerry, wood
hell we had tv, turntable, and booze all in one casket size monstrosity.
Asa matter of fact first color tv in our home, my gramps downstairs, was 1967.
I remember sitting with him and watching Lost in Space for the first time in color.
He shamed my dad into buying one, a big box Zenith, with maybe a 19” screen the following year.

Worst part is, in Europe they don't have air conditioning like we do.
My relatives in Belgium don't have any. They have a fan. 1 fan.
It's crazy.

Idk how I'd live lol. Gotta be like 71 and dry for me.
If I wake up and im not cold with marbles for nuts I crank the AC higher
I'd lose my f***ing mind, I'll tell you that. They also don't do ice in their drinks. My late aunt didn't speak any English but whenever she visited and got a drink she'd yell "NO ICE. NO ICE"
They just dont do ice! I need my drinks Cold and my ac on 65.

My family got our first color TV in 1969 to see Joe Namath's blue eyes in an exhibition football game the year after their Super Bowl win. Game was supposed to be broadcast in color but at the last minute tech problems caused it to be only in B/W. True story....
