Name something you miss dearly.

I am totally with you on Hastings.  I loved that store so much!
And our local store was doing great, too.  It was mismanagement at the top that bankrupted the chain.
Every time I pass the Planet Fitness that occupies its place now I just gnash my teeth!

I miss real live honest to gosh record stores where you could scrounge around for an entire afternoon seeking out long lost treasures.

I'm with you on that one. Boogie Records in Kalamazoo had all the obscure punk I couldn't find anywhere else in the 80's, plus underground comics and stickers and pot pipes...sigh.
Hot Wax in Paw Paw during the 70's was great to. I miss vinyl...CDs just scratch too easily. If I had a badly scratched record,I could just put a nickel on top of the needle arm-and it would play right through without skipping.

come to wichita, there's 2 in my district alone!

Paquita! Where is our resident zombie?

Sorry!  I am a few months into being in the family way so I'm also in a barfy and exhausted way most of the time.


To stick with the topic, I dearly miss music videos on TV.  I've been watching some on YouTube, but it's not the same as being forced to sit through videos I didn't want to see while waiting for the ones I did want to see only to realize that hey, I kind of like that Missy Elliott video.

You're having another baby, Paquita? Well how nice! I hope all is fine and congratulations on the new addition to your family. Hope you still find time to visit here.

I miss that boundless sense of creativity I had when I was younger.

I miss Moe's Bar here in Lawton. We have 3 so called "bars" in town now-2 are more resturants that serve booze and the other is a micro brewery frequented by yuppies.

Moe's was a BAR. It had a pool table, a juke box, and people got in fights and passed out. It was so fun.
This was back in the early to mid 80's. Then DeCoy Duck bought it and turned it into an over-priced resturant. Sigh.

I was waiting for a Simpsons joke, but you really had a Moe's, huh?

I miss high metabolism.  Being able to eat pretty much anything and not gain much weight, if any.  Being able to pick up an exercise regimen and just go with it, without killing myself.  My arms are still unable to stretch all the way forward without serious pain, after trying to pick up my exercise routine I did years ago.  Been aching for nearly a week.  I'll get back to it someday..

Yep. Owned by Moe Motyka-a distant cousin on my step mothers side.

The shots were cheap, there was old  60's and 70's music on the juke box. And a cigarette machine. And pickled eggs in a jar and pretzels and mini tacos.

Once Freddy Welburn drove his Harley threw the front door!

I got picked up by some dumb farmer a***ole and he threw me over 3 tables!

Good times.

Sounds like an Irish pub.

Whoa.. they built a Planet Fitness on your Hastings too?  Wonder how many locations that's true of...

Firefly. I still hope against hope that it will be brought back.
