maxiev Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I clearly remember getting into fist fights with some of my classmates. The fights usually ended in a draw. Mahirap lang pag yung kalaban ko ay may restback. Then I'd be facing 5 maybe 6 other guys. Buti nalang I had my own restback. Quote Link to comment

oscartamaguchiblackface Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Does anyone know if this peso bill was still legal tender in the early 70's? Quote Link to comment

oscartamaguchiblackface Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Some of my favorite Hanna-Barbera cartoons I liked watching from the 70's are now available on DVDs. Actually these were available on YouTube just several months ago but I guess they've since been removed. Wacky Races: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=_J9pkClY9T0 Wait 'till your Father Gets Home: I liked Wait 'till your Father Gets Home. It was basically a cartoon but with adult humor. It used satire to poke fun at the youth, the American fear of communism, and the general day to day life of the average American family in the 70's. I remember Tom Bosley as the iconic voice of Harry Boyle. Quote Link to comment
sonnyt111 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 What I really miss about the 70s was being physically active in all types of sports. From basketball, to swimming, bowling, target shooting, track and field, table tennis, weight lifting, work-outs like push-ups, sit-ups, etc. biking, etc. Now the only exercise I do is brisk walking. I'm probably 60 lbs heavier today than I weighed in the early 70's Quote Link to comment

Bugatti Veyron Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I miss the weekly family get-togethers. On Saturdays we'd be with my cousins on my dad's side of the family. On Sundays, with my cousins on my mom's side. Today, out family get-togethers are very rare except to commemorate the death of an uncle or an aunt. Quote Link to comment

sonnyt111 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Flooding in the metro reminded me of Gloring in the 70sI think it's a lot worse today. Flooding happens on a daily basis because of the southwest monsoon. Quote Link to comment
KayaK Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Flooding in the metro reminded me of Gloring in the 70s Gloring was worst in the 00s. ZTE scandal, fertilizer scam, just to name a few that contributed to unabated flooding. (flooding of tears from jun lozano included) Quote Link to comment
