I can only stay a short while because I have to get to bed so I can get up tomorrow morning. If I don't get enough sleep, I'll be very crabby.:lol:

I don't know what to write, lol.

Who's in your avatar?


That is Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell) from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Terry was also on the sitcom called Becker.

I don't really know what to talk about. :lol:
I understand that you need to get some sleep, so I won't keep you awake. Talk to you tomorrow.


I can stay a little while longer.

I like your avatar.:)

Just talk about whatever you like. Just like in a chat room.

I never saw Becker, but I know that Terry was on it. She played a bartender named Reggie.

Thanks. I thought it would be fun to have a Halloween avatar.


I really like it.:)

I'll post a picture, how about that?

This picture is me and my friend Jason taken infront of Target in June 1998.

I had to reload the page. THe picture didn't show up the first time.
That's a cool picture.


Thanks. You know which one is me, right?:lol:

Have you ever noticed that whenever I download a photo it always comes out a little yellowish?

Nighthawk76
10-25-2005, 12:48 AM
Do you know who this is?:lol:

Nighthawk76
10-25-2005, 12:52 AM
I know which one is you. :) Why do the pictures come out kind of yellowish when you download them?

SO is running slow, so my replies are slower.


I have no idea why the photos all come out yellowish. I wish I did. Then I could fix it.

How many guesses do I get? :lol:

It's Jami of course.:)


How did you ever guess? :rofl:

That picture is from the show The Facts of Life. I have actually never seen it. I just know that Jami was on it a few times. Her character was named Boots St. Claire.

Do your pictures do that when you try to print them out also? Or have you printed pictures from your computer?

I tried printing pictures I have, but they didn't come out right.


Yeah, when I print them they also come out yellowish. :confused:

That's a strange name. I've probably watched The Facts Of Life, but I don't remember seeing the show though.


I know, isn't it? Boots St. Claire sounds like the name of a tomboy. I just could not imagine for the life of me Jami as a tomboy. But you can tell by the picture she wasn't playing a tomboy at all.:lol:

The 1970s is culturally my favourite decade with '76 arguably the best. The US was celebrating their bicentennial and Canada was hosting their first ever Olympics.

Some movies which haven't been mentioned yet: Rocky, The Bad News Bears, Car Wash, Bound for Glory, Two-Minute Warning (theatrical version) The Pink Panther Strikes Again and one of my all-time favourites Network.

Musically KISS was at their height in popularity releasing their best studio album Destroyer and winning a People's Choice Award for their best charted song Beth.

On US TV, All in the Family (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=31) and Happy Days (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=12) sitcoms were airing weekly. Watched for the first time that summer practically on a nightly basis People Choice's best drama Starsky & Hutch (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=556).

I remember going to a bicentennial celebration in San Luis Obispo (Calif) and it was sooooo huge. I was 9years old and didn't understand the whole fuss. I know now. It was the last time I had ever seen soooo many fireworks in my life. I loved that summer. it was awesome. thanx for the memories.:wave:

I remember that year well.
I was 15... last year of Jr. High School.
Here is a scan of a list of top songs on July 20, 1976. The "KHJ Top Thirty" list...
I remember most of those songs, especially "Afternoon Delight," "Moonlight Feels Right," and "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight."
