WHO REMEMBERS SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK?

Whew!  Nothing like waking up at 4:33am with conjunctivitis, also lovingly called "pinkeye". Yikes! Good news - I don't have any appointments and won't be around actual people today, and it's almost all gone due to using the old -fashioned cure of milk!  Yep - I realize that may sound gross, and at first I felt the same way, but it really works. There are also other natural remedies that cure this pesky problem. Even better, you save time on doctor's visits and outrageous medication costs.  Before using this quick resolution, be sure you actually do have pink eye!

Now, who remembers this catchy tune from way back in the day? 


Conjunction Junction, whats your function?
Hooking up words and phrases and clauses
Conjunction Junction, hows that function?
I've got three favorite cars that get most of my job done
Conjunction Junction, what's their function?
I got and, but and or, that'll get you pretty far
And, that's an additive
Like this and that.

This cartoon was initially shown in 1973 and lasted 12 years on television, and I was totally hooked.  It was fun, nonviolent and educational for all the kiddies.  Some of the other great songs were I'm Just a Bill, and Powers of 10. Getting up and singing along with those songs really made Saturdays fun.

Did anyone watch Josie and the Pussycats, Captain Kangaroo, Archie,(I still have some the original comic books) Sabrina the Teenage Witch, The Flintstones, The Jackson 5ive, Kid Power, Fat Albert?  You probably have some favorites of your own that bring back memories. I don't watch many cartoons now unless there's a really neat animated movie, but those were the good old days.

What about you?  What cartoon do you wish would come back to television?

JUST ONE MORE THING
Monday is usually the day something happens that really gets on your nerves.  In fact, it happened to me just a few moments ago when I took a quick break to get the mail when a huge red sparkling Monte Carlo nearly ran me over as I walked across the street, gave me the finger and smiled.  I probably should mention that his license plates read "PIMPIN".  I'm still alive to write this, so everything is cool, as I smile and get ready for Let's Make a Deal and a cheeseburger.

  1. First, that dude sounds like a total dick. Second, I remember in school they always tried to have us watch those School House Rock videos in English class but we always talked over it.Lol. When I was younger we had Boomerang which was a cartoon channel dedicated to oldies. :) I'm a scooby-doo gal myself!

    1. I don't watch the Cartoon Network or anything like that anymore, but I do like watching Spongebob, Cat in the Hat, Ratatouille, The Incredibles and a few others every now and then. My friends hate to hear me say, "Remember when?" and will try to run in the other direction. (lol) Hugs...

  4. What a douche!

    Anyway, I'm an Archie fan. Did they ever release a story where he picked either Betty or Veronica?

    1. I was telling Lanie that at least he had a really neat car! (lol) Ironically, there were 6 books addressing this issue of marriage. A portion of it has Archie married to Veronica, then the other part has him married to Betty. These were all supposedly in the future. Ironically, to this day, it's still not clear. (lol) Big Hugs...

  5. I loved School House Rock! And, just today I was talking about The Flintstones cartoon. I had a college student ask "what's a Flintstone?" (that's sad...)
