    So, back in my youth, my brother pointed out an abandoned house and suggested that we explore. In the garage, under some clothing, I found a stash of early to mid 1960's Playboy magazines. Because I've always been a collector of sorts I thought to myself that "these magazines will be worth some money some day." Well, during my military days, my mom decides to go in my room and do some cleaning. Some real valuable stuff got kicked to the curb, literally, that day. This was early 1980's, long before Ebay, so, imagine the value of those magazines along with some now very rare books.

      Interesting experience that you had. Presumably, nothing bad happened when you walked into the abandoned house? 😊😊
      Regarding social attitudes to Playboy, it could safely be said that society was tolerant until the point it was not tolerant. Your mom probably grew up with a social attitude during the 1950s and 1960s that Playboy was deemed to have somewhat crossed the line.
      As for the arguments that other magazines were worse, perhaps a difference was that Playboy was considered controversial because the brand name was more prominent.
      Mainstream society definitely became tolerant of Playboy only around Y2K, when Playboy felt confident to have open casting calls. From known info, among the women that turned up, they understood some level of nudity was expected and they readily participated in it.

      1) Abandoned houses? I grew up in a small town that lost it's main industry when I was 10. Within a year, 40% of the residents left. The thing is, because poverty was so rampant, we would enter the house long after it had been ransacked (except one, long story). Anyway, you grow up in an impoverished town and you learn to use your fists.
      2) Actually, my mom grew up in the 30's. She actually was tolerant of my collections, as a kid and teen, but on the day I entered the military she told me that from that day on I was a "guest" in the house and could come only for "short visits." When I got out of the military and got a job, on my first off day she took me to an apartment complex, paid my first month and deposit and told me to empty my room that day. Since she had thrown out a lot I had clothes and books, but little else.
      3) I'm actually not sure when society became tolerant of certain things. No one was upset when Hugh Hefner appeared in Beverly Hills Cop in 1984. As a matter of fact, actresses that appeared in Playboy when their movies in the 80's came out included Tanya Roberts, Jodie Foster, Kim Basinger, Suzanne Somers, Bo Derek, Barbara Bach, Mariel Hemingway, Nastassja Kinski and Pamela Anderson (among many others).

    That plaque, for Jill Swafford and her 9m unborn twins, I went and looked up that story/case- just sickening. I couldn’t find a photo of their 🤬murderer, tho, which I cannot understand why there’s none easily found, especially when he’s now been allowed a chance for parole, changed from his original life w/o parole sentence, outrageously, imo, considering his heinous crime, and when there’s a petition that her family has started against it. 😞💔

    Tonya was a beautiful woman, the photo of her with the rose was my favourite. Was a bit surprised that you showed some graves and didn’t talk about them. You haven’t done that for ages. I’m guessing you were tired this day as it wasn’t on par with your normal vids. I think you need a rest and a recharge xxxx

      Before the peanut gallery kicks off, I’ve been a LAL fan for over 5 years. And I know when the man needs a break. I wasn’t being nasty but I’m not going to blow smoke up his ass either. I am a true fan of his xxxx

      Read the previous comment. I’m a long term fan of all his channels. This was interesting clip but towards the end he let it slip. He knows my comments, I call a spade a spade and I know he appreciates honest feedback. And just FYI, I know he needs a rest.

    Was it Gloria Estefan or Paula Abdul who said "Life in America is Dangerous"?
