I'm seeing a theme here...isn't it funny what we'll talk ourselves into? :lol:

Oh, my gosh! :scared: That's the stuff that mom-nightmares are made of! I'm so glad everyone was ok! (The bolded really made me laugh!)

Hahaha! I've got a kid for ya!

Did you make a Dry Mustard Man to decorate? :lol: (Just teasing!)

Lol! Then the day before yesterday I doubled a cookie recipe, but forgot to double the eggs! I thought the dough looked/felt weird, but I put it into the frig to chill while we went out for lunch. I kept thinking through the ingredients and finally realized what I had done. I added the extra eggs to the dough before baking and they turned out quite a bit different, but edible. When I was in jr. high, I forgot half the flour in a cookie recipe. They ended up looking lace-like. Also around that age I made popcorn on the stove and used corn syrup instead of corn oil! Sticky, nasty, burned mess. In high school. I set my sister's apartment slightly on fire when I forgot about the popcorn I was cooking! :eek: As a newlywed, I was trying to make au gratin potatoes like my mom's and forgot the flour. That made for a very runny sauce! Another newlywed one...I knew to mix flour and water to pour into beef drippings for making gravy. I thought I'd be so smart and mix the flour w/the beef drippings instead of water (better flavor, right?). As I was shaking the two ingredients in a plastic cup w/a lid, the lid suddenly popped off and the mixture went EVERYWHERE. Apparently, the beef drippings were a little too hot to enclose like that. :lol: I'm sure there are more, but those are the most memorable. :D

Help! I need a good dishwasher. PM me your address and I'll be there as soon as possible. I've had 40 years of experience, so I've got the dishwashing thing down pat!

Those are sweet, Reg! I love those random little niceties between human beings. I experience them often around here. They make me smile. :)

Glad you had fun! That was nice of your dh!

I'm so sorry for your loss. What a treasure to have gotten to be with her. Wishing you peace in the days ahead. :grouphug:

:crying:

That is so funny! Our minds can do crazy things!

:smilielol5: I've never touched the stuff. (Truly.) :)

I'm too old to remember that! Maybe the little girls I babysat had them... :tongue_smilie:

Fun thread! We've been enjoying our homemade (by my sis and bil) Sequence game the past few weeks. It's one that all of us are interested in. Some of us played Rummikub on NYD. I didn't remember ever playing it before and thought it was a neat game.

:crying: It's fascinating how emotionally powerful scents can be. :grouphug:

Those are the ones--thanks! I couldn't remember what we called them, but it's on the website--lozenges! I loved those! And that leftover sugar at the bottom of the gumdrop dish was the best! I used to go to my mom's office after school sometimes and grab a couple of sugar cubes from the coffee station--yum!

Darn it. Couldn't find it on their website. I'll ask dh if he remembers it.

Maybe Missouri had them fairly early on since we're so close to where they originated? Maybe their early expansion/development was pretty close to Arkansas? I remember those tumblers and that candy! The tumblers were a weird sensory thing for me--lol! And the candy -- what WAS the name of that? I'll have to check to see if the Vermont Country Store has it! haha

They have it! It's English Leather! Lol. Can't believe it's still available. Thanks, PM! Hearing everyone's good memories is so much fun! Thanks to all who've posted!

You're sweet for trying! I don't think it's one of those, but I'm so old that it might be that I just don't remember! lol There absolutely was! Ours was w/in walking distance of my house, and I walked up there to buy many a 45 record! I'd get 3 cents back from a dollar! Good thought, but I don't think so. Thanks! Thank you--I will! I'm so sorry. :grouphug: I've lost my dear, dear stepdad, but I can't imagine the day when my dad is gone. And the day isn't really that far away, I'm afraid.

Oh, yes! My grandparents had a cut-glass candy dish with a lid, and it was always full of lemon drops (or lemon drips, as my little brother called them!). You youngster, you!

Well, that info would help, wouldn't it?! Late 70s - early 80s. I'm sure the cologne I bought was readily available at Walmart (lol), but that's all I remember! I've tried Googling.

The variety in the scents is so interesting! I bought a cologne gift set for a high school boyfriend, but I can't remember what it was called! Throw some others out there!

I loved them when I was a kid! Haven't had one in years!
