I use to too! Had a radio that had tubes and the room was lit up when the lights turned off!

What a wonderful memory. I was grown by 77 and married with a child. I wish I had known about this radio show. This is awesome! I fell asleep listening. Lol. ❤️🤗 .

I was 15 in '77 & we would listen to these & other "theatre of the mind" stuff on Sunday nights.

Lying on the floor of the basement lighting the pilot on the water heater. This old show helped pass the time.

Wow just wow. I love these episodes that contain life lessons. At some point in all of our lives we are that bird flying backwards in some ways listening to these stories , wanting life to be as it was then , but knowing full well we should cherish right now. Life is to short to look back. Thanks for sharing these.

[@susancates0213]

Life sucked back then. Energy crisis, no jobs, racial tension, riots and serial killers and kidnappings and whatever other hell ppl had to live in in their own homes. Great times. I couldn't wait to grow up.

I was on a flight to Brunswick Georgia . It was a 30 seater . I had a widow seat right next to the wing . It had been a while since we took off and i was looking out the window .I turned to my friend I was going on holiday with and said, "look the wing is coved with oil ." Just then the pilot came on and said, " we are not going to make it, we have to turn around and go back ." When everyone was off the plane and safely inside, the engine exploded .

Love CBS Radio Mystery Theater, never missed back in the 70s

[@ji5055]

I couldn't wait to catch an episode at 10 p.m. I remember all the commercials too. This is great because I'm one of those people that thinks if the past is good then live in it! I've got quite a collection of path treasures and treats. Right down to the candy an even the perfume of the 70s. Thank you very much.. chilly sunshine is it great name but for me it's more of a "Warm Darkness!

Tell me about some of the candy and perfume you got from back then, I’d like to smell and taste the 70’s and 80’s myself

I like the artwork that you post with these great stories. I wish there were still stories this style still being made to listen to. I think even with 📺 and the internet it is still nice to listen and imagine the story in your mind. Also great for before bed to unwind. At least we have these classics to enjoy.

The adage is not a truism as conceived by many, 'The exception proves the rule' We dont use the word "prove" in the sense it was used when this phrase originated. In the archaic sense, the same word would apply in 'battle proves the mettle of a man', in other words battle _tests_ it. Taken as we use the word "proves" we'd say, 'The exception _disproves_ the rule.'

She says I am a women and I not stop working to have children. I a man and you would not have to ask me twice to stop working. I can't understand any person living to go to work unless perhaps if it was your own business. 95 % of German women choose to stay at home and look after the children and receive the equivalent of the minimum wage through tax breaks to do so. I tell my two daughters if you want to have happy family life and watch your kids grow up marry a German .
