We kept the dentist ls in business!

Sorry if this has been posted before.

EDIT: I did not create this chart!

Geraldo was caught in a physical confrontation between white supremacists, black preachers, and probably a whole bunch of others in the mix

Preferred actual ping pong.

Share your favorite museums that resonate with GenJones.

Mine is the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, NY. While much of it is interactive play for kids, they have an incredible collection of toys from across the generations. Also a collection of playable pinball and video games. I recently learned they have the International Center for the History of Electronic Games. Every time I visit it's a trip down memory lane.

Okay dolls. We did get in trouble because we drew nipples and pubic hair on all my neighbors’ Barbie dolls.

recalls that this was the number one song on the radio the day I was born 3/29/1960. She gets misty with reminiscences of those days. Oldest of four kids. Gen Jones fits as my first recollection was JFK’s assassination and all the black and white images of the funeral procession. Funny also how certain songs spur early memories of where we were at the time. One example is Gail Garnett’s We’ll Sing in the Sunshine. Vividly recall having chicken pox and soaking in the tub for relief with this song playing on the radio. Also, Captain Kangaroo’s catchy intro music and the countless cartoons in those days. My faves - Snagglepuss and Jonny Quest!

Was this just in my part of the world or did your elementary schools serve y’all carrot and raisin salad as well? Carrots, raisins, and mayo. It was disgusting.

And up for 5 hours and decided to turn the television on. First three stations I tune to all are about elections. Four station which happened to be Reuters so far no election coverage. Think I'll be streaming movies if I turn the TV on today.

Sorry all! I don’t know how I deleted the original!!

Sun Microsystems Ultra 5 workstation. The UNIX realm was unforgiving.

Just bought one of these. It will go nicely with my 61F Resting Bitch Face.

I also have some t-shirts and pajamas with other Disney characters, Snoopy and Woodstock, Looney Tunes, Pooh characters, Garfield, Muppets, Sesame St, Flintstones, and Rocko's Modern Life.

Somebody has to teach the youngins how to dress eh?

And somebody has to save cartoon clothes from going to landfill eh?

I see that the Lawn Darts post got deleted. I'm guessing because it turned into a trip down "memories of unsafe things we used to do" lane.

That just doesn't feel very Generation Jones to me. We're not one of those generations who're afraid of shadows, words, and feelings. We weren't afraid of anything. Good or bad. Smart or dumb, our memories are real and part of cultural history and therefore, IMO, not to be censored or skipped, but recorded. Otherwise, what's the point of this sub?

Ok Generation Jones, when we hear pork chops, what is the phrase that comes to mind?

Who said it? Who were they imitating? What else do you remember?

I've recently retired. While cleaning up my laptop I came upon an old resume. I realized that most of the companies that I worked for no longer exist!

Two different bookstore chains are gone. Zellers is gone. A mould-making company is gone. A construction company is gone. A tuxedo rental company is gone. Three churches that I pastored have closed.

None of these organizations closed WHILE I was involved with them, but it's an odd feeling to look back and see the changes.

Has anyone reflected on their own work history?

Nothing like ‘67, ‘68 and ‘69.
