Michael, were you in Paramus Park? My mom was a charter employee of the A&S that used to be at the other end of the mall from the Sears. Worked there from the day the place opened until her retirement. Yes, in those days, dept. stores gave their employees retirement benefits.

So funny you should say that. Back in 1997 I was shopping for a TV in Sears.

My pet peeve, that relates to your comment before, is I dislike it when people try to be diplomatic and say "There's no such thing as bad taste in music." There are really awful bands out there that proves them wrong.

Just Googled it and was surprised to learn that 'Always Something There To Remind Me' was never a number one hit (until it made your playlist, of course). Not even Top Twenty. Seems like every time I turned the car radio on in the late 60's (no car FM in those days), Dionne W's version was playing.

I think it was top ten for Naked Eyes

Regarding giving all the kids trophies : Why don't we just give them all and A for their classroom work no matter how they do..I think the real problem is sports . Just get it out of school....and great show as usual
