Nostalgia.

[LaFemme]

Groups of homes that truly feel like a neighborhood, where people actually know each other and look out for each other.

NCbear (who was struck, when visiting Mexico two Christmases ago, by how people lived behind high walls but were sociable—the opposite of where I live in the USA, where people live in an old neighborhood without even fences but don’t socialize with each other at all)

I hear you. I actually tried to raise my family in a place like that. Lower-middle income family complex and we shared a common area. It was the closest I could come to what I experienced. Move to high income? That shared family style disappeared. We had to commute for ‘neighbourhood’ experiences. I miss that. I’m fortunate now to have excellent neighbours, but it’s a rarity.

My neighbours are great. When my boy’s truck needed a brake job, the neighbour helped him to it, no charge. When I was too sick too cook Christmas dinner, she made me a plate and brought it over. When I went to Disneyland, I brought gifts for them and their grandson. If someone needs cold medication or eggs, we borrow or lend. They are amazing. But I guess it’s the way both our families were raised.

Missing my 80’s hair. (But I didn’t want someone dragging me on to some talk show for a makeover to drag me into the 21 century.)

Anybody remember Fizzies? Oh how I begged my Mother to buy them every time I went grocery shopping with her.

I will admit that dropping in the tablet and watching it fizz was a lot more enjoyable than actually drinking the result! Except the Cherry flavor was pretty much okay. The cola flavor not so much...

Our neighborhood is tight as fuck. We ALL have each other's back's.

The love of my life grew up across the street. Bizzy Bone said it best in "Fried day"...

No joking with my neighbors, door's open you wanna come over?



Stealing of neighborhood nostalgia... I wanna build a tree-fort

I would probably say that I miss TGIF as a kid. Family Matters, Step by Step and a few other shows on ABC. It was also Pizza night.

mate of late teen days arrvintg from Aus for overnight stay tomorrow
he.another and i forunate to take a last cruise on the Arcadia to FIJI mid 70s
a couple of weeks holiday on untouched tropical island,then fly home
combining old transport wirth modern
a little different to cruse ships these days

Name: SS Arcadia
Owner: P&O
Port of registry: London, United Kingdom
Route: UK/Australia, and cruising

Passengers:
1954: 670 1st class, 735 Tourist class
1973: 1,350 open class
Crew: 716
Notes: Sister ship: SS Iberia
SS Arcadia was a passenger liner built for P&O in 1953 to service the UK to Australia route. Towards the end of her life she operated as a cruise ship, based in Sydney, until scrapped in 1979.


This mix of liner and cruise trade was expanded in 1959 when Arcadia made her first cruise voyage from an Australian port, sailing from Sydney on a short cruise in November and then to San Francisco in December.
As the number of passengers travelling by ship to Australia declined due to growth in air travel, P&O was expanding its cruise network. In 1959, Arcadia was refitted (with refurbished cabins and air-conditioning extended to all the accommodation) and throughout the 1960s continued the pattern of line voyages interspersed with cruises from Britain and Australia, including trans-Pacific routes,

In 1975 Arcadia moved its base to Australia (replacing the Himalaya), making a final return trip to Britain and then cruising Asia-Pacific routes until in February 1979 she was delivered to a firm in Taiwan to be scrapped.

This song is what a wee TnJ would jam to when I was enjoying the beautiful outdoors with my momma in the yard gardening together. I love this song so much.
