Started the day with a wee laugh from Big Al. Headliners would gladly steal his joke.

Despite all the love, loss and respect I have for the dearly departed ladies and gentleman of mudcat, I have never seen a movie where it was a brilliant idea to bring back the dead. But I don't know. Maybe there's an app for that. There is the movie Transcendence that comes close.

Lets bring back the super moon tonight.

Reins for small children: rarely seen these days, but a really good idea if, like last night, you are doing any form of walk where there are large crowds. We were in Edinburgh's "Christmas at the Botanics" where you walk a pathway round the gardens, dimly, but very prettily lit, hundreds of other people, many with small children, there. It only took our grandson 5 minutes to get lost.

And the full moon was beautiful, Donuel: sandwiched between a sloping roof and a huge fir tree!

When everything old is new again on multiple occasions it would be appropriate to ask what we should bring back [again].
I believe this is a case of purposeful redundancy.
Or a left handed swipe at the Trump brand.

You know what I miss? Telephone canvassers who call me Mrs.

A nice lady from UNICEF called yesterday and made me really mad by struggling to pronounce my name correctly even after I told her not to use it. "We obviously don't know me because you can't pronounce my name. So call me Mrs Thomas; you can manage that, can't you?" I said, but it made no difference. She charged on through her script, filling in several different (but all wrong) versions of my first name in all the slots where she's supposed to say it to reinforce the relationship with the client/donor. Of course, I was more alienated with every repetition of Sharmaine, Champignon, Charlemagne, Champagne ... on and on it went.

Finally, I said, "Look, we're not friends and at this rate we never will be. My first name is for my friends, not strangers like you. Call me Mrs Thomas, or call me nothing. Better still, hang up and never call back."

She was really, really hurt. I did not care.

Unique Book Stores

Our local library takes donations and estate collections for their basement sale. In this area some of the things they get ranges from classified material to things with original price points I could never touch like oils of authors that once hung in the Library of Congress.

If you've already brought something back once, your efforts were unsuccessful, and you want to bring it back again, then the thread title is entirely appropriate and everyone posting so far has misunderstood the purpose of the thread.

The concepts of shame and disgrace.

Much of the 70s but not all the obnnoxious harassment. But everything else.

Yeah, a sense of humor so we can tell jokes again.

An acceptance, in the US, of atheism as a normal variant. We had that in the '70's.

And, yeah, my Bonnie.

I would bring back egg racks in refrigerator doors. Maybe they still have 'em in some refrigerator models, but I haven'd owned one in many years.

Without an egg rack, there's no safe place to put the last egg out of a dozen except back in its carton. So, you have an entire egg carton's worth of refrigerator space dedicated to a single egg. Ridiculous!

Bring back larders - it's not just eggs that don't need to be in the fridge, but a cool place to keep food can be better than a centrally heated house.

Yes, and it's not as potentially hazardous to lock a naughty child or pensioner in a larder,
than it is in a fridge or a freezer....

Keep your eggs in your veg rack. No need for the fridge!

True, in most of the world, but not in the US. The US Department of Agriculture, for some benighted reason, requires that eggs sold in supermarkets be sanitized and refrigerated. Once they've been refrigerated, they need to be kept that way or they will sweat, which can promote bacterial growth.
