It is not a word most people use
7:41 am
leighprefect
I wish it wasn't illegal, but I do appreciate NOT having to get out of the car to pump my own gas.
7:42 am
MollyL
I think it would be nice to still have it as an option. Especially for seniors and the disabled.
7:44 am
MollyL
I remember when gas stations had SELF SERVE and FULL SERVE options.
7:44 am
dan2bit
if you have all the 5-letter words you can find the re7, Sugrraleona
7:45 am
dan2bit
it's capitalism - when it gets too expensive to support that labor force unless you make not having it illegal, those Full Serve options disappear
7:46 am

11:38 am
hokie carla
bichon, it is a song from the 60s or 70s. I think the post was like a piece of trivia, and I know mr. bichon knows trivia with his jeopardy skills.
11:38 am

Inna-gadda-da-vita (sp), by Iron Butterfly, Vincent, by Don McLean, and Paradice by the Dashboard light, by Meatloaf. :) just those three songs back to back meant that you didn't have to reload the turntable for at least and hour if you had all three records on there. :)

sandra, there's another form of that word that replaces the last letter with s. I think that's the singular and this is the plural. just fyi for the future.
11:56 am

Many will disagree, but records(unscratched ones) have a warmth that does not exist in digital recordings--especially the LP's they used to make for "quad" systems.
11:56 am
hokie carla
re6 is to get a paycheck again
11:58 am
hokie carla
we have a new sound system and mr. homie just keeps going on about how the records sound better than our streaming music. I agree, that's why I have records still. And my oldest is a big fan, too, so we look for things for each other at record stores.
12:00 pm
crosshair
He is right; Fire up Pink Floyd's The Wall record on a quad system and there is nothing else like it.

my mom's big boat of a car that I sometimes drove in high school had an 8-track player so I had to get an adapter to play my cassettes.

We used to chip in a dollar each, put five dollars of gas in my friends 1976 Toyota Celica, and go "booze cruising" on the back roads all afternoon. Try that now and a cop will just shoot you to save on oaperwork. :)

one of my friends had a car with no back seat. can't rem. if it was his Honda CR-X or his Mazda RX-7, but he drove me to school a lot and sometimes he'd pick up his cousin so I'd have to sit on the console/gear shifter. I remember him getting up to like 80mph once on the short drive to school.
