Who remembers The Shadow?

(in a deep voice)...."Who knows what lurks in the hearts of men?

The Shadow knows.   The Shadow, alias Lamont Cranston......."

And Old Nancy the Witch of Salem......"as we gaze into the embers of the fire....the story begins......"

sorry freshwater, but I have to laugh, he was the LONE ranger, not the LOAN ranger... they are the people who want your money .... I'm having a good laugh too Darki.  I wonder if there is something freudian in there.  B-)  Maybe something to do with the mask.

Yes I expect so  :^O

Hey!  I can name some things that have improved since we were born...

The Dentist for one, what a relief 🙂

Surgery is better and we now can have knee/hip replacements.

More people are surviving cancer...

Heart and lung transplants

The planes get us around the world faster

Emails are faster than snail mail 😉

My grandmother scoffed when she was a girl because they were going to try to fly a plane from London to Paris... 😮

I remember my grandparents having a party line for their phone and one had to check the other people weren't using the phone before you could ring someone.

My Grandparents with their two daughters were booked on the Lusitania but missed it before the trans Canadian train was running late ... phew!

My mother was born two years before the Titanic sank.

My Grandfather an Australian soldier met my Grandmother in England  while he was recuperating after being injured in France during WW1.

They were married in England before returning to Melbourne after the war.  My Mother was born in England, she was 6 weeks old when they left England.

Mum would have a big laugh when people who found out she was born in England would ask her what she remember from the Old Country.

I loved comics....never had any of my own but used to read a girl friends..

The Phantom was a favourite and we sent away for skull rings....my friend and I formed a 'secret' club and the password/thingo was a key from an old sardine tin....remember how you used to put the key (had a sllit in it) into the overhanging lip of the tin and roll it back to open the sardines....my friends parents owned an hotel (since burned down) and used to have bed and breakfast etc.   they must have served a hell of a lot of sardines cos there was a huge pile of them in the garbage tip. It was a 2 story building and the building next door was very close....so close that we girls could just step across through an open window from the upstairs balcony ...we used to have a Jim's Gym...lol ...over there....about 10 we were...such imagination...the room was vacant, except for us...often wondered what the owners thought of us 'invading' their upstairs room.

Oh yes comics.  We'd have big swap meetings among our gang.  .  I loved the Phantom too....  and Buck Rogers,  Prince Valiant,  True Romance (up to a point though thought a lot of it was soppy),  Captain Marvel,  Hopalong Cassidy. ....

Bliss was going to bed early with a glass of milk, a huge chunk of chokky cake, and a pile of new comics.

Also Darki, some other things that it's nice to have now ... ..

Electric blankets

Frozen meals
