Yep, no Vicks Vap-o-rub back in the day...but, plenty of skunks...
In other news: My gf and I watch a guy on YouTube (Fleabitten Adventures) who visits flea markets and malls in my region and makes videos about them. My gf and I watch his flea market (only) videos because he looks at things we have zero interest in: it is entertaining for us to see the youtuber get excited over stuff we would not give a second-glance... One of his more recent videos was for a flea market we had visited a few weeks ago. While we were browsing at that particular market we had run into a guy who has a high-end jewelry booth (an off-shoot of his fixed storefront). When we approached the jeweller-his eyes narrowed and he commented that he remembered a guy that looked exactly like me-who 'heckled' him for years at a different location. I smiled and said nothing. His demeanor relaxed and he said that I 'must be related to that guy'-since it was 30 years ago. Still smiling, I replied: "If you didn't sell fake stones at real prices-I wouldn't have given you a hard time--old man..." The jeweller stared at me, turned pale, and then literally fell over backward like a fainting goat. My gf thought I gave him a heart attack. lololol He quickly picked himself up off the floor and rushed at me. I raised my fists and hesitated right before he hugged me. I didn't plan on hitting him or anything, but, 30 years later: I wasn't certain if he remembered we were still friends.![]()
I thought it was neat that he appeared (only for a moment or two) in the YouTube video we just watched...an amazing coincidence...
