KICKIN AND REV WOO BUMP...

Today is my sister's birthday and my dad's was on Friday. Going to have dinner and a visit with them.

we're doing so well, she's almost 10 months now... she's my everything
I hope you're doing fine as well

congrats

Kids these days will never know the joy and excitement of walking into your class and seeing that the TV & VCR had been rolled down from the library on it's giant cart. Even if it was a lame educational documentary, it was better than a lecture. But, when you found out it was Reading Rainbow and it wasn't even Friday, it was the best part of the day.

Glad he's recovering, that's scary!

Periodically I post Hawaii quakes and other stuff over on the Hawaii thread. And if I don't think of it, LittlePixie does. I guess I should see if this one has been posted over there.

You'll do fine! That company is so lucky to have you.

Hope it's a nice gathering with some good eats! Happy birthday to them.

Nice description - I love the nostalgia of that! It was definitely special to see that cart in the classroom. I'm older than you and when I was in grade school (and even into 7th grade), it was actually a film projector on that cart. The absolute worst was when the damn film reel broke! The teacher would have to try to carefully repair (tape) the broke ends and re-feed it, and then we'd all have to wait while she fast forwarded the damn thing to where we left off.

Ahh, memories! Here's what I'm talking about:

..of course I would do this because I had my head up my ass as far as preparation / curriculum were concerned
due to just being too stressed out...or whatever..

LOVIN' YOU..QUAKE BRO!

You guys are funny! I was one of the people that delivered these carts and projectors to the different rooms in high school. I was stationed in a secretaries room just off of the library where the carts were stored. A lot of rooms had the equipment but some needed fast delivery. It was fun to go flying down the halls of the school between classes delivering "the carts" to different rooms. Later on they became large TV's with VCR's.

Good luck to you tomorrow, IM! Please keep us updated!

My best friend is a teacher and when he's having one of those days he shows a movie. It's still a good fallback!

Just announcing it here, I’ve joined the SDP :-)))

Thank you both, IM and kickinit!!

I love this! So you were the A/V guy! Not a shocker, you're a reliable guy and have a knack for that stuff. Yep, there was always an A/V guy to rescue the day. Some teachers were better with those projectors than others, so if there was a glitch sometimes the A/V guy would have to make an appearance to help out.

Now I'm thinking about overhead projectors too. And those waxy pencils the teacher used to write on the plastic sheets that were being projected. Ahh, the good ol' days.

What our generation has witnessed technology-wise is quite amazing when you think about how far we've come in such a short time. Seriously, we're not that ancient and yet we were watching FILM ON REELS.

Not sure what you mean. Are you talking politics?
