Anyone remember this? When I was a kid, it was hung a lot in classrooms; I didn't realize it came from the American Cancer Society.
Although it's an iconic image, and one that stayed with me, I still started smoking when I was in my 20s; fortunately, I was able to quit.

One Day Event / Tyrants / Verizon
Aug. 13th, 2015 06:19 amnoluck-boston.livejournal.comSince the Bells were broken up and we got Verizon, here is my Verizon rant!
Last week I had to get a new phone. The Verizon tech wanted me to dump my current plan and go with Verizon's new month to month payment plan. He claimed it would have saved me $10 a month. Except!!!
Once you dump your current contract you will never get that back. So Verizon if offering a cheaper month to month plan now to get us all to dump our contracts.
Think about it.
I pay $80 a month now. I am locked into that for life.
Their new month to month plan is $70. But next month?
How long with those $70 last until they go up to 80, 90 100?
Don't fall for upfront savings. Think long term. I didn't and you don't need too.
Don't give Verizon one extra Cent!

I've taken many long haul trips on these. I was sad to see Delta take the last of them out of service as each aircraft came up for heavy maintenance in the mid '90s.

greatbearmd.livejournal.comIt can't be a celebration of '70s clothing ads without this. This was my favorite TV commercial of 1972 (yeah, I'm old), and I still love it today. This is a long-form (full minute) ad for Levi's jeans that was known for its stop-motion photography and earworm-inducing soundtrack. Not very many TV spots these days run for a full minute, save for Super Bowl advertising (think the wonderful Budweiser ads), mostly because networks want to cram as much advertising (and ad revenue) into a commercial break as they can. I wish this was a better quality video. Enjoy!
