| 41829 | Posting Youtube Videos. | <p>@blue: Yeah, many sites will automatically create a clickable link when you paste a URL like that. Ours, however, is a a pieced-together monstrosity that won’t always work the way you think it might. :lol: </p> | Vaporman87 | Jan 05, 2019 |  |
| 41828 | A new Garfield movie. | I'm really excited for this. I just started collecting Garfield, particularly plushies, and it will be exciting to get some new ones with the release of the movie. People look at me weird when I go to stores and ask if they have any. | bluegrassbaby86 | Jan 05, 2019 | |
| 41827 | Mary Poppins Returns. | I want to see it really bad, just haven't been able to. | bluegrassbaby86 | Jan 05, 2019 | |
| 41826 | Howdy | Oh thanks. My favorite characters are Teddy Ruxpin and Garfield so I guess I should probably have one of those. I'm on a massive tape talker kick right now. | bluegrassbaby86 | Jan 05, 2019 | |
| 41825 | Old TV Shows & Movies Being Remade. | <blockquote rel="Dalek227"><b>Dalek227 wrote :</b><br><i> It's funny, my husband was flipping through the channels the other night and that TMZ live or whatever show was on. They were discussing certain shows coming back to tv, remakes and reboots and re-imaginings. The guest caller was saying "yes, it seems ridiculous but trust me Harvey, my generation of 80's and especially 90's kids are hardcore nostalgia freaks and are being marketed towards." he shushed her about that and said yes whatever, every generation is nostalgic, I don't believe for a minute that's what's happening.<div><br></div><div>I think he's wrong. Yes, all generations get nostalgic, but because the 80's and 90's are where the 50s, 60s and 70s were when we were kids (as in OUR shows have been on nick at night now for awhile, instead of I love Lucy, I dream Of Jeannie, etc)and we;re now the adults and many have their own kids. We are in that spot now. We're old enough to call our stuff retro. I think that's why it seems like 90's kids especially are so hardcore. Sometimes that means they won't even bother watching a remake BECAUSE they are such a fan of the original, but often times were that desperate to see this stuff again that we will watch it. I've never seen such a group of braggy people that thought THEIR tv shows, cartoons and snack foods were better than anyone else's like a 90's kid LOL. All the damn surveys on Facebook, the buzzfeed articles, most of the forum posts on Retrojunk,. All about 90's kid nostalgia. I think he underestimates how hungry 90's kids are for their nostalgia and are absolutely marketed towards. Again though, I don't think us 80's and 90's kids are MORE nostalgic Think it's just we're at that point where a lot of us will be approaching middle age before we know it, so we're grasping. I mean i'm 38. I can't believe i'm almost 40. </div> </i><b>-end quote</b></blockquote><br><div>I think the braggy part is because we post everything online. A lot of 90s kids post everything on Facebook, where older people, while they do have Facebook and some of them are there all the time, they don't typically post their whole lives there. I have heard 50s and 60s kids brag about their generation and say everything newer sucks, but they usually don't say it online, they say it in conversations. </div><div><br></div><div>Another thing is that due to the nature of the internet, we have access to our nostalgia easier than they did back then. In the 90s and before, you just had to watch or listen to whatever the TV or radio played, so I guess people didn't think about the stuff from their past as often because they didn't see it that often. or I could be completely off my rocker.</div> | bluegrassbaby86 | Jan 05, 2019 | |
| 41824 | Did you have Cable/Satellite as a child? | I really didn't know what we had when I was little, but I remember watching either CMT or TNN so I guess we did have basic cable at some point. Mostly we watched local channels I think. We consistently had cable or satellite starting from when I was ten in 1996. I didn't see a lot of the classic cartoons as a kid and had to watch them on YouTube as an adult. The cartoons we watched, or rather my sisters forced on me, were Loony Tunes and Popeye and stuff like that, as well as PBS. I had trouble with those because of having no eyesight, as they don't have a lot of dialogue. I actually enjoyed watching the ads more. Occasionally I got to see Inspector Gadget, which I loved the theme song of, but not very often. Was that on cable? | bluegrassbaby86 | Jan 05, 2019 | |
| 41823 | Posting Youtube Videos. | I'm using a Windows 10 laptop with Google Chrome and everything is up-to-date. I can't find source mode, but I got to the embed button very easily. The thing is that I copy/pasted the link rather than the embed code which I'm having trouble finding. On every other site I go on this works to at least have a clickable link, but here there was just the URL with no way to click, just the text for the web address. | bluegrassbaby86 | Jan 05, 2019 | |
| 41822 | Posting Youtube Videos. | <p>bluegrassbaby86, what browser are you using? What operating system? What kind of device? (computer, phone, tablet)? I recommend using a full-fledged computer (desktop or laptop) if you have access to one. In my experience, many websites including youtube have functions and features that are not available or at least harder to find in mobile browsers. Alt text especially doesn't seem to be present, although I must again admit not knowing all the tools you might have. </p><p>Vaporman that's great news! I didn't see that button before, but I just tried it and it works great for me. I notice it opens an overlay style dialog in the same window. </p><p>bluegrassbaby can you find that button? </p> | shakin steak | Jan 05, 2019 | |
| 41821 | Did you have Cable/Satellite as a child? | <p>Oh yes. We absolutely had the giant dish in the yard. In fact, it’s still there... complete with a golf ball sized hole in the mesh that got there from, you guessed it, a golf ball. </p><p><br></p><p>I watched all the good channels in their infancy thanks to that dish. And then much later, when the channels started charging for access, I discovered the wonderful world of live feeds and little known shopping channels. I got to watch my favorite basketball team play home games whenever I came home from college on the weekends (Golden State, long before they were dominant). </p> | Vaporman87 | Jan 05, 2019 | |
| 41820 | Did you have Cable/Satellite as a child? | Growing up we definitely had cable, but at some point my parents must have stopped paying for it because I distinctly remember a period of relying on PBS and WB ('member the WB?) for my tv entertainment.<div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div> | jkatz | Jan 05, 2019 | |
