What Was Your Last purchase?

Love the fact that the A side was a female version (Melvin) of Gloria by Them. As a tween/teen in the sixties most of my allowance went on 45s.

You "get" it. Yes, I love their adaptation of the Them classic, but that B-side is what gets me. So fun for a group of 14 year old girls. This was a regional hit at the time, but still only about 500 copies were pressed. I was a teen in the '70s/'80s and literally all of my allowance went to the record store. I would collect 2 weeks of allowance and then catch the bus into town and buy 2 albums or 4 singles. You had to work for your music back then, which made it so much better.

The stack of pennies held together and stacked on the arm of the record player to stop it from skipping (very low tech ). I checked out photos of The Belles, they looked like they could have been out of my classroom at school. Lots of attitude in the songs, must have been some great dances.

haha, my dad gave me his old stereo system and I needed to crank the arm back and forth to get it to speed up. The arm did indeed have coins stuck on top with tape. Ironically, my current stereo system is a refurbished 1974 belt-drive Pioneer turntable.

Hmmm, I see a few similarities here...

I got brie and pecorino romano at the local farmer's market. My last online purchase was an air fryer for my mom because we are so obsessed with ours.

New bedroom furniture from IKEA for MIL's new room in long term care. It took three attempts to get in to the store to buy the stuff, now I have to put it together (I am queen of IKEA assembly ). Moving a 94 year old during covid restrictions is no fun at all.

I ordered this gorgeous Baltic Amber Keychain on May 2, and was wondering if it got lost. It just arrived today! Here it is attached to my Damier Graphite Cles!

Thank you! They are called Pink Floyd roses. If I get married, I'm pretty sure my bouquet will just be Pink Floyd roses...
