I was looking for fancy crystal candy dishes full of spiced hard candies.

Like this? I'm glad you reminded me, I've looked all over for the last month for the same thing and finally gave up. I intended to look on the interwebs for it and forgot until you brought it up.

Grandma had those in stock year round. I've found the spiced ribbon candy at Wegmans. I keep it handy during the holidays as a nod to Granny. I think this year I'll get some of these too. Now I need to find a fancy crystal candy dish.

So not PC!  :w00t:

 

It's funny really:  I can remember having candy cigarettes as a kid.  There were two kinds:  Hard candy, kind of like Smarties but white and not as good, and bubble gun cigarettes.  Those were cooler because they were wrapped in paper just like real cigarettes and you could "puff" through it and the power that kept the gum from sticking to the paper would come out like smoke.

 

I also remember this ad very vividly (I was 4 when it came out).

 

 

That and other adds of the day that backed up The Surgeon General's Warning convinced me to not even start.  I was indoctrinated by the anti-smoking propaganda.

I remember both in the 80s when I was a kid. They probably fell off the radar not long after that.

Trying to figure out what "ate and dressed like ######" has to do with "smoked like a chimney".... especially as a counterpoint (use of the word but to link them).

I'm assuming money spent on cigarettes, instead of spending it on better food and clothing.

 

Damn stupid shame adults make damn stupid choices.  But hey, it's your lungs and cash.

Yes.

And yes, I guess. We have the right to kill ourselves.

Yeah... I just think and would have worked better than but to link the two ideas.

Man it took me a half hour to browse through everything they have. So many things there I haven't seen in years. Memories............

 

I ended up getting this.

Wow, Max Domi just flattened the CBJ's goalie (accidentally) going in on a breakaway. Guy cracked his head on the ice and staying in the game. Sheesh.

Posted

That's a great game, eh?


Max Domi is gonna be a star in this League.


Meh.... empty netter for Columbus to go up 7-5.  I was looking forward to a big finish by the Yotes.

He really is. Classy move on his part to check on the goalie after the hit and retrieve his helmet for him. Just tuned in at the end, but cripes, 7-5? More like a baseball score.

Here's the collision:

There are so many great young players in the league right now- Domi, Larkin, the Sabres kids.  I think this rookie class will be comparable in impact to the QB class of 1983 was in the NFL (Elway, Kelly, Marino) in terms of changing the fortune of teams.

Can't blame the guy for not wanting to come out even if he was hurt. Lindback got yanked, this might have been his chance to take over the #1 for the time being.

No, this was the Columbus goalie, not Arizona's.

Wow, total brain fart. I saw the box score earlier and saw Lindback was yanked............ didn't think twice. Probably should have watched the video first.

 

Perhaps I should have had some of those beers. :oops:
