Happy Birthday, Pat!  Yes, I remember that show, and enjoyed it thoroughly.
Since I have 17 years on you, allow me to inform you that, at 54, you are
just a youngster.

Happy birthday! 54 doesn't seem that old anymore - I'm just a little
over a year behind you.

Joyce, it definitely doesn't seem old when the man you are dating is 60!
It's funny but John and I don't notice our age difference at all.  Maybe
this is still more proof that men don't mature as fast as women ;)

My husband was six years older than I am.  We were married for almost 30
years.  It would be 51 years now, if he hadn't died.

I'm so very sorry for your loss :(

My parents will have been married 57 years come July 2nd.  John is 14 years
older than I am.  We didn't notice it when I was 20 and we don't notice it
now!

Mine was 19 years older. He's 73 now, and I haven't seen him in eight years.

Happy birthday!
54 is definitely not old.
You have to be 55 before you can join any senior activity centre
around here.  So you are not a senior yet.

1:05 AM EST - Conway Hospital, Conway SC (in Horry County (pronounced
ORR-EEE)).  For the astrology minded, that's on the Tarus/Gemini cusp
(within the margin of error of the data).

We lived in Myrtle Beach - we moved when I was about four and a half.

Actually, I think that should be EDT instead of EST - there was a war
on and DST was in effect.

Heck, there's really no reason to remember what you had for breakfast last
week is there? ;)

On the flip side, I find things like television shows mark semi-significant
moments in our lives.  For example, I remember exactly where I was when JFK
was shot and the tragedy played out on television.  I recall watching
'Romper Room' and always wanted a Magic Mirror! (heh, who knew later it
would be the basis of my most spiritual self?).  The Andy Griffith show; I
Love Lucy (granted, I saw that in reruns).

I went a number of years without television; the programming wasn't so great
in Bangkok in 1969 LOL  It's a good thing I love to read.

But upon returning to the U.S. I remember first seeing the television show
'M*A*S*H' and thinking what a radical concept it was.  Ditto 'All in the
Family' and 'Sanford & Son'.  Not too many recent television shows hold my
attention.  Again, I'm glad I love to read!

You can keep Lucy :~)   the Andy Griffith show reminds me of my home town.
Our sheriff never wore a gun either  biggest  crime we have ever had in my
home town was a drunk or an a local bar fight involving coal miners

Ditto about the books  just trying to finish up a series of Mercedes Lackey
myself.

Some of those old shows I look at them now and see how some are so (IMO)
racist but at that time what a concept

"All in the Family" and "Sanford and Son" were both adaptations of
British shows ("Till Death do us Part" and "Steptoe and Son").  The
originals were *much* better.

That is normal.  Probably breakfast cereal or eggs and toast.  What
difference does it make?   MLB

There's a holdup in the Bronx. Brooklyn's broken out in fights.
There's a traffic jam in Harlem that's backed up to Jackson Heights.
There's a scout troop short a child.  Kruschev's due at Idlewild.
Car 54, where are you?

It took me a minute to remember Jackson Heights.

I vaguely remember that show but I'm just a little younger than you (I got
the big 5-0 later this year!) and I've never paid much attention to the TV
even as a kid- I can go days without watching it and if I didn't have Dave
around I probably wouldn't even have one!
