Do You Remember When? (2)

[clairefish]

Speaking of songs, does anyone remember the OREO song?

'Oh, do you know exactly how to eat an OREO?
well to do it, you unscrew it, very fast,
cause the kid'll eat the middle of an OREO first,
and save the chololate cookies outside for last.'​

I found this:
Truth or Consequences was an American quiz show, originally hosted on radio by Ralph Edwards from 1940 to 1957, and later on television by Edwards himself from 1950 to 1951

I remember it better with Bob Barker...

I don't remember the hula hoop song...
but I found this..... Is this it?

Hula hoop, hula hoop
Anyone can play the hula hoop
Hula hoop, hula hoop
Anyone can play from three to a hundred and ten

(Hula, hula, hula)

From LA to New York, from Georgia to Duluth (Hula hoop)
Everyone is playing with the hula hoop (Hula hoop)
A-red ones and the green ones, yellow, white, and blue (Hula hoop)
Young and old, rich or poor, are spinning them too

(Hula, hula, hula)

Hula hoop, hula hoop
Everyone is playing with the hula hoop
Look at them spin, tryin' to win
Anyone can play from three to a hundred and ten

(Hula, hula, hula)

Oh, what fun to see them run
And to see them sway (Hula hoop)
Trying to keep the hula hoop
From, ah, slippin' away (Hula hoop)

Now if they rock when they should sway,
It would fall to the ground (Hula hoop)
Then again, once again
The hoop spins around and 'round

(Hula, hula, hula)

Hula hoop, hula hoop
Everyone is playing with the hula hoop
Look at them spin, tryin' to win
Anyone can play from three to a hundred and ten

(Hula, hula, hula)

Hula hoop, hula hoop
Everyone is playing with the hula hoop
Look at them spin, tryin' to win
Anyone can play from three to a hundred and ten

(Hula, hula, hula, hula, hula)

Great, thanks!

I don't know how people feel about painting over old wood.... I do it with old beat up dressers that no one wants... and old rockers....I recycle furniture! My favorite projects are old already discarded pieces of furniture....

I wanted to share this little rocker I did for a friend.... I call it Mickeyangelo art...

Simple enjoyment and good enough to share... but not make a living at....

Nice. I love to tole paint.

Does anyone remember when you first painted something? My mother was painting the kitchen floor (back then people actually painted kitchen floors) the night before I was born. I think I was born to it.

 

[gratefulgrace]

I don't paint in that way but Ido like to dab the brush on paper or canvas occaisionally. I get to support two disabled students in a High School art class it is great fun. I love the chair mickey. Mickeyangelo that is precious. Jan

When I first bought my home as a single mom... the floors were painted (also crooked) ...everything was painted - every bit of woodwork. The home is 100 years old and unknow to me needed lots of repair.

And the colors ..... must have gotten a bargain.... lots of colors .... not to much looked wonderful to my eye... but in time....
And in time all did change.... God allowed me to meet a wonderful man that was in the building business....

God bless
Mickey

do you remember when I used to post here?

 

[gratefulgrace]

Did you? I am not sure. How come you don't anymore?
I remember School assemblies everyday? WE always met for 10 or 15 minutes and sang God Save the Queen and other songs to start the day when I was in grade 1 and 2. Jan

I was gone for the duration of Lent and have been busy w/ things...
Does anyone remember Polio season? We weren't allowed to swim in public pools...
Then came the wonderful Polio vacine discovered by Dr. Jonas Salk!!!

I have not been posting as long as some... so you may have been before Mickey..I do remember polio. I had a young playmate in my neighborhood by Detroit that had polio and had the leg braces....

It was very difficult for him....
God bless you

When I was a grade school student in the 40's and then as a teen in the 50's everyone was concerned about polio. We were told to be careful to avoid crowds and not to go swimming in public pools especially if we had a fever..etc.

What a relief when the Salk vaccine was discovered..probably the greatest break through in medicine in the last century besides insulin.

President Roosevelt, a victim of the disease and crippled himself, had started the "March of Dimes" where people collected their dimes to raise money to research and fight polio...and I also had some friends who got it and were affected in some way by the dreadful disease, but lived through it. One had a limp the rest of her life.

I remember when penicillan was discovered. It saved more lives than we care to imagine. Soldiers in the field died more from infection than gunshot wounds........until penicillan in the 40's.

Cheers,

Jim,
I may have shared this before ....
My dad was a medic in India. He said it was awful some of the things he saw.... lots of disease.

I found this:
Kulturkampf: The German Quest for Penicillin

Gilbert Shama looks at the German research into penicillin during the Second World War.
When in 1928 Alexander Fleming noticed that a mould had contaminated one of his petri dishes, apparently dissolving the bacteria growing on it, he was shrewd enough to isolate it in order to examine it more closely. The mould turned out to belong to a group known as the penicillia and was able to produce a substance that even at very low concentrations had the power to destroy many disease-causing bacteria. Fleming called this antibiotic substance ‘penicillin’.
In the years following its discovery, penicillin was to gain a reputation as a useful laboratory tool, but it was the work of two Oxford scientists that was to reveal the drug’s true potential. In 1938 Howard Florey and Ernst Chain set out to study natural antibacterial substances. Early in their investigations they chanced upon penicillin and in a short space of time made enormous progress with their research. Their first achievement was to purify it. This allowed them to show that penicillin could protect animals infected with large doses of normally fatal bacteria. It was these results that convinced the Oxford scientists that they were dealing with an extraordinary new drug. Following normal scientific practice, and the war notwithstanding, they published ...

Not to be out of line, but my dad said many of the diseases were venereal disease that many of the soldiers caught in India.....

I do remember the polio vaccination clinics in the early 50's. It was a wonderful thing to be able to protect the children fromt he disabling disease. It was just a fun day out for me as I don't think it was shots even by then just sugar cubes with serum on them. Jan

I forgot about the sugar cubes.....

I also remember getting vaccinations in our school .... I remember standing in a long line and being very little...

 

[gratefulgrace]

I suppose we did get needles but can't really remember them. I am sure I was always VERY brave. Jan

 

[Jim1927]

Famous words of those giving the needles......."THis will hurt me more than you............."..jab...........

Cheers,

Jim
