Corkey's right; spelling is just not his strong suit. I've found the older I get, words I've spelled for years start looking mis-spelled to me. Go figure.

left a bad impression on the paint job. meaning, small scratches from rubbing damn hard to get the paste off the paint.

It's a white plastic container with a blue lid that you put litter waste in and then allegedly turn the handle and it dumps the waste in a plastic bag, seals the odor, etc.

I bought one a few years ago and it was a cheap piece of crap - no pun intended. The plastic bin kept popping apart at the seams and the handle wouldn't turn. I had to return it.

I don't think I really qualify as "geezerette" but i could be wrong, since I have serious issues with memory and spelling both...

And since y'all mentioned some of the old toys. What about those little weird "balloons" that you blew up with a tiny straw, from that junk that came in the little tube and usually had cartoon characters on the tubes? For the life of me I can't remember what they're called. I was never able to make a single balloon outta that crap... boo...

You can be an honorary geezerette, then, Dixielady. I remember seeing what you're talking about, but I was too ooooollllldddddddd for them at the time. Does anyone remember the name of these?

Is that your way of saying you were too cool?

Or that I'm a youngster? LOL

I can't remember the name of that stuff either, but as a kid, I was able to make tiny bubbles with it til they popped while blowing them larger. Yeah, sure did suck. NO to mention stuff tasted funky.

I hear the TopsyTurvy is not a good one as thought. My aunt and uncle bought one, and it rotted the roots from their tomato plant growing in it. That happened to a friend of mine too. I think it may be a problem of some sort.

I think you're talking about Super Elastic Bubble Plastic.

You're not the only one it didn't work for. One woman blogged about how much she cried when it didn't do as advertised.

Just as a side note: Wiki says, "Chemically, the bubbles contained polyvinyl acetate dissolved in acetone, with plastic fortifiers added. Besides the obvious potential for messes when letting children play with liquid plastic, the substance also emitted noxious fumes. The fumes could become concentrated inside the straw, so users had to be careful never to inhale through the straw while inflating their balloons."

Maybe this is the reason for your memory and spelling issues at such a young age as yourself? j/k

I LOVED this shit...and personally, I was damn good at it! The secret was in how you put the blob of goop onto the straw.

Don't fret, Diva. I laughed so at these posts that I started wheezing. While I took a plug on the inhaled, I thought of Geezer Wheezer.
