Who remembers when television networks signed off for the night

My sisters would go out behind the house with a flashlight, a jar, and pair of tweezers and turn over rocks. They would find scorpions that way and put them in the jar. Bring them back in the house and show them off. Not me. There were copperheads out in that area and they were thick. Scorpions are bad enough but damn copperheads, not walking around in the dark for no good reason.

We wood play records and cards

@HumanEarth Yeah cards sometimes. Or games. Make some popcorn. One time my sister and her husband were staying the weekend. She was boiling a couple eggs for a snack. I randomly said “You can’t squeeze a raw egg without breaking it.” Her husband nodded his head and said “That’s right”. For some reason she took that as a challenge. She said “I can, watch”. She gets an egg out of the refrigerator and starts squeezing it, her hand is shaking and then….it exploded in her face. Me and her husband started laughing. Her face turned red and she started chasing me she was so mad at me. I told her “I told you that you couldn’t do it without it breaking”. Hell I don’t even know why I thought of something like that to begin with but to me it was one of the funniest things.
