Remember These???

[Miss B]

That is sad news that Jane Withers had passed away. She was always so cheerful!

Goodness, I remember those commercials. I always liked her.

Operation is one I wasn't good at. Same with Scrabble. Life I did well at and Clue. And a couple you may have never heard of. The Journey's of St. Paul and Clean Water. Clean Water: The Water Pollution Game

The only one I recognize is Scrabble, but I can't recall if I had the game, or a friend had it and brought it over so we could play when she visited.

Really? Except for Chess, checkers and Scrabble, I don't think there's another game more played in the US when I was a kid.

I gotta figure out how to do it, but next on my Blender Wish list.

 

[Miss B]

Go for it! That would be a nice edition to your Blender portfolio.

I'm sure there's a Blender tutorial out there on YouTube that's similar enough to at least get the basics done.

Still trying to get Blender working on my computer. I can use it, but still getting the color artifacts and it's very distracting.

Good luck with that Earl Hopefully you can get it sorted out soon.

 

[Miss B]

Color artifacts? If you're rendering with Cycles, turn on Denoising, and possibly raise the amount of samples. You could always do both options.

BTW, what version are you using. My go-to version is still 2.79, but I do have the latest 2.93, which I've been trying out, but not as fluent in it, as they've changed the UI a lot, so I'm still trying to learn where everything is.

I didn't want to run afoul of Alisa again, so I decided not to show any live models in this next pic, but Remember These??! Now I was well past the Underoos stage by the time these came out and got popular, but I remember seeing the ads on commercials on Saturday mornings. I also think they sold well at a little known store... K-Mart.

 

[Terre]

I don't remember those but then we didn't go to K-Mart very often. If we had I think even my little brother would have been a bit old for that set.

Anybody Remember this Game? Never owned it, kinda wanted it, but had to make choices. In a way, I though of these like the new types of marbles in town. In case you're having trouble remembering it, you wind the string around your top, pull the string and your top goes spinning.

 

[KageRyu]

I still have a copy of it.

 

[eclark1894]

So I was watching tv, Antenna TV and Barney Miller came on. They reminded me of these? Remember these???! Ahh! the sixties! When cigarettes were sold in vending machines, and your older brothers sent you to the store to get them a pack! And you were only 8!

Remember him??? From The Flintstones!

I remember seeing the ads but never played it.

 

[eclark1894]

Anybody remember these guys? Also, I'd have to check, but I believe that at one time or another, all three had their own tv show.

 

[Miss B]

I don't recall the name of the "private investigator" in the first one, and I think everyone knows Smokey the Bear. However, I don't recognize the middle character, who looks like an Owl, but isn't ringing any bells for me.

Well, you got Smokey right off the bat, but I'm surprised you didn't recognize McGruff the Crime Dog, or Woodsy Owl. McGruff takes a "bite out of crime", while Woodsy "gives a hoot, and doesn't pollute".

No one recognized, Perry Masonary, Stoney Curtis or Cary Grantite from The Flintstones.

As you no doubt have noticed, I seem to be obsessed with remembering things, which is one of the reasons I started this thread. I wasn't sure where this fit in, but thought I 'd relate it here... for reasons. I've spent a lot of time in the last two years cooped up in my house, alone due to coronovirus. Most of my immediate family, brothers, sisters and mother, have all passed. I'm 63 now, and I remember things. I thought okay, I've been thinking about doing this anyway, plus it's a reason to get out of the house, so I've started writing my autobiography. So, about two days ago, I woke up and went to the supermarket to do some shopping. No problem there. Even bought some ice cream to chill out with. So on the way back, I started thinking about where I should go and revisit. Was going to go revisit Fayetteville street which still exists from my childhood. Was tryying to figure out where I should park, when I noticed that my car was getting rougher and rougher and harder to control. I pulled over to the side of the road and looked outside the door. My driver's side rear tire was flat. I got out of the car, and looked closer at it. It wasn't just flat, it was blown. I'm still at a loss to explain how it happened because I didn't hear it explode, but just looking at it you could tell, it exploded! To make a long story short, I called a tow truck, got a new tire and got back home. Now I'm afraid to go outside again.
