You're not looking hard enough.

Here's some of the paneling I painted in my living room.

It was blood red before this.

Now it's canary yellow. Where's my sunglasses?

I remember when they used to have those "Wanted" posters hung up in the Post Office.

 

[rue]

^ They don't have those anymore?

 

[AtomicEraTom]

It looks much more subtle in person, and really cheers the room up and makes it feel bigger.

I remember when...

...I used to play out in the fields behind the house all day, only coming in when it got dark.
...there were fields behind the house.
...fish and chips were served in newspaper cones.
...children walked themselves to school.
...the local corner shop sold sweets from huge jars in little paper bags.
...I used to collect the foil lids from glass milk bottles and the foil wrappers from Polos for craft projects.
...my friends and I could visit the local open-air pool unattended by adults.
...summers seemed to last forever and it never seemed to rain.

It's a cheerful buttercup yellow, IMHO. I think yellow walls make it seem the sun is always shining.

^ I agree

^ I agree

Especially when they have color names like Golden Shower or Sun Shower. My patio is painted one of those to replicate what it was orogonally painted by my grandfather. I remember when it was fresh.

I already told you not to use that one name in public James

 

[Lincsong]

I remember when power windows and locks weren't even offered on a subcompact or compact car.

Some people's minds!

That's why I picked it. I love bright and cheerful. My folks painted their living room yellow a couple of houses ago. I fought it left and right, thought it was a terrible idea, until I saw it on the walls. Fell in love with it and now I have a yellow living room, oh the irony.

I imagine if you live long enough you really appreciate irony. I remember when irony wasn't so poignant for me.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I remember when I didn't say and do things like my father, I remember when I didn't have the same voice as my father. I'm slowly turning into him...

Just wait until you have your own children. You will defintiely be him.

I remember when "irony" was actually ironic, and not a cultural excuse for just being stupid.

Amen brother :eusa_clap

At this point I almost feel like I need to appologize to dad for all the crap I put him through. Almost
