| Welcome Back to the 1970s! A place to put on headphones, sit in the bean bag chair & drift away ... Those of you who've visited here before know that I have been accused of being "Stuck in the '70s." OK, so what? Now, here is the site to prove it! If you too, between 1970-1981, were glued to the TV watching "The Brady Bunch," "All in the Family," (may Carroll O'Connor rest in everlasting peace) and "American Bandstand," and you were reading "Tiger Beat," "16," and "Creem," while you were wearing bell bottom Levi's, Lees and Wranglers, pull up a bean bag on the shag rug and stick around. Click on the links at the left to bring back some memories NOW! |
| What's Happenin'? -------- 6/23/09 Well ... we haven't had a chance to update lately, what with the workin' for a livin' and all. We've mostly been hanging out on Facebook ... and that's where we have all our updates. Join us at www.facebook.com/st uckinthe70s. C'mon and join us on the porch for some reminiscin'. You'll have to ask to be my friend. 4/1/09 We're enjoying a nice spring day here on April Fool's Day. About to watch the American Idol results show. Be sure to check out our Tiger of the Month for April -- American Idol's Adam Lambert. 3/30/09 My, how time flies! It's almost time to announce the April Tiger of the Month! I can't wait, and I know you're gonna heart him! As for Stuck in the '70s, we're doin' great and enjoyin spring! The webmaster, yours truly, is also finally working on that children's book I'd been wanting to write. I started kicking it around years and years ago, and now I see this dude, Jeff Kinney, who's written the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series. That was MY idea, and I've had my diary on the Internet since 1994! Ouch. So, I'm working on my book, tentatively called "Dear Nicole," about a tomboy fifth-grader and her friends. Click here if you'd like to read what I have so far. I'll keep updating this same page as I go. 3/1/09 22:27 I've been overwhelmed by all of you who have been knocking at our cyber door! If you have any problems making us your friend, please contact me at julie@stuckinthe70s.com I've really been enjoying talking to all of you, and if you're our friend, you're privy to daily life, and I sure as heck will keep in touch with you. More updates coming. You'll know when I'm goin' to the flippin' deli! I have a blog brewing, and it's called, "Yo! Jesus in my shower, y'all!" It's gonna be by J Fid and T Pain. My shower in the morning is my only sanctity. (sp) Wasn't there something in the Bible about going into your closet to pray? Although this site is called Stuck in the '70s, we're obviously not. Don't be such a Moe! If you like it, then, you should've put a ring on it! Go Kris Allen. Arkansas represent! Sayin' 3/1/09 Wow. We've been busy. But exciting things are happening. I can feel it in my bones. We are gonna be discovered this summer. The Hudson Bros. are on board as well as the Osmonds. You better stay tuned. 2/10/09 Check out our new developing privacy policies, as shown in top on the middle of this page. From now on, all blogs an personal pictures and videos will only be available to those who have become a friend and/or subscriber of Stuck in the '70s on My Space or of the Webmaster on Facebook. And, what? No Donny Osmond on Dancing with the Stars? No David Osmond on American Idol? What is the world coming to? Crap. |

| We Need Your Help! Stuck in the '70s is a personally owned Web site and makes no profit. In other words, the site is brought to you by me, yours truly, the Web master just for the fun of it because it's something I enjoy doing. I pay a monthly fee to Yahoo! Web hosting services and ATT to keep it going. Once in awhile, I'm unable to make these payments, and the site goes down for several days. If you like this site, appreciate my honest efforts and want to keep it going, any donation in any amount would be deeply appreciated. You can make a secure donation through PayPal by clicking the button below. Thanks so much, and stay cool!! -- Jules |

Here lately, the staff of Stuck in the '70s has been inundated
with spam, BS, propaganda, whatever you want to call it. In
an effort to tone it down, we're making a couple of changes.
with spam, BS, propaganda, whatever you want to call it. In
an effort to tone it down, we're making a couple of changes.
- All new blog posts, classic photos, videos, audios, etc.
will be through My Space. In order to view any of it,
you will need to go to My Space and become a
"friend" or "subscriber." If you don't, you'll still be able
to view the old stuff, but you won't get to keep up with
what's new. To do this, visit us on My Space now! - Although we list several sites on which we are
members, we only regularly visit My Space and
Facebook. All posts from here on out, will be
available only to Stuck in the '70s-approved friends.
This will hopefully eliminate all the garbage we have to
wade through -- I'm talking 5,000 spams a day. If you
join up and the crap is connected to you, I won't
hesitate to delete you. Same goes for Yahoo! Instant
Messenger, which we enjoy using. - To join the Webmaster on Facebook, follow this link.

| Don't mean to be a hard-ass, y'all. Just tryin' to keep it real! Stay cool, Stuck in the '70s staff |
| Coming Up on Stuck in the '70s I'm gonna compare this month's Tiger Beat with this month's Tiger Beat back in the day. |

| Check this, yo. Brothers rock. The first pic below is of the house at 1122 E. Brookview Lane, Peoria, IL 61615, where we spent most of our time "coming of age." This is a current picture, taken this past September. The ol' hood has gotten pretty quiet. Kids are no longer out playing Kick the Can, swingin' on vines in the creek, or hiking like Huck Finn, barefoot, building forts. It's all about sitting on your butt and texting someone who's sitting right next to you. Turn your head, and open your yap. I'm tellin' you, the dumming down haz began. Anyhoo ... At the moment, I can't find the picture I want, showing the house in which we grew up. My bro, Mike, is creating a 1/25th scale version, and he is like Monk or some stuff. Cheese and crackers. We have a pic of him on his 8th grade graduation night, June 1977, out on the front porch at 1122 Brookview, stylin' a white polyester leisure suit, a purple shirt, and the tie ... I won't even go into. He'd just crushed a finger in the door of the Torino station wagon and was not happy. Look @ dis! Keep in mind, as with every one of my brother's projects, this one is in progress and developing constantly. He's working in some Ford Pintos and chamois. Plus, we're making another 4-hour round roadtrip to Jonesboro or Little Rock ... perhaps even Memfus. So, stay tuned, and your suggestions are always welcome at julie@stuckinthe70s.com or on any of our networks! |
