74 years ago today the worlds first and most reliable stock marker prediction device when on sale. the YOYO
Like all market models, it's had it's up' and down's.
Wow, did you ever walk the dog? I cannot remember all the others. Oh ya there was around the world, that it, all that I can remember.
Here's my 74 year accurate forecast for the stock market. It'll act like a YOYO.
c.i.
Rocking the cradle keep em coming these are found memories for me. Those were the days, wow again.
Many, many year's ago when I was, I guess, a second grader at St Rita's Catholic School, we were out on the playground for recess.
An old guy wearing an ill-fitting suit (Willy Lomanesque) performed fantastic tricks with his yoyo, including depositing it in the breast pocket of one of my my classmates from three feet away. He managed to sell about 10 yoyo's for 25 cents each.
Nowadays, of course, this guy would have been arrested as some sort of predator.
I had completely forgotten about yoyos until now. Thanks.
Hmm, I have been checking some family history, and see my dad was baptised at and probably went to elementary school at St. Rita's...but there must be many many St. Rita's...
Ossobuco...probably a dead-end. My St Rita's was in Alexandria, VA. Good luck. -johnboy-
Every spring, at our local movie house, the Yo-Yo Boys arrived. They were from Duncan, and they would show us yo-yo tricks on the stage of the threatre. They would have contests, and the winners would get special yo-yos. We looked forward to spring for that reason for many years!
Phoenix, Ha, ha....you know how to give your age without spelling it out! You're talking about something that used to happen over fifty years ago in Sacramento, California! Hadn't thought of that for many years, until you mentioned it.
Thanks for the memories, I guess. c.i.
