If you read my last thread before this one, you will see that it has four replies. Two of them are by someone else and two of them are my responses to that person's responses. I was so happy to have finally thought of a topic that someone else actually thought was worth responding too! But, like anything else, the novelty of the situation wore off. In any event, the main theme of my last thread was a line from a "Happy Days" episode that reminded me of an incident from a third season "Gimme a Break!" episode called "Samantha's Protest". I called my thread "Social Studies" because that is the name of the "Happy Days" episode that started the whole thing. For those who are interested, it has been uploaded onto You Tube. Also, "Samantha's Protest" has been uploaded in two forms. To make a long story short, whenever I hear the word disgusting, it always takes me back to Julie's line at this protest in that episode. In any event, right before I came here, I had another such experience! I was watching an episode of "What's Happening!!" called "Bill Gets Married". This was also a You Tube episode. Early in this episode, Shirley the waitress was tallying up the orders of Raj, Dwean and Rerun. Because this was the seventies, the first two order were under a dollar. However, because of how big an eater Rerun is, it seemed to take forever for her to name all of the items that he ordered! Because of how good with numbers Shirley is, she is usually able to figure out the prices of the orders in her head. However, because of how much Rerun had, she said "I am going to need the adding machine to figure this one out"! This line was yet another thing that took my mind right back to "Samantha's Protest"! After the protest, the family was congregated in the living room. Good old Julie was helping figure out the family finances. Sure enough she was at the table using an adding machine! This all took place while Katie was sitting on the couch, painting her nails and daydreaming about the handsome boy from the protest. Oh the memories!
