Mark Gregory 689 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Yes the 1970' s lots of fun and good TV shows. It is the 40 anniversary today of who shot Jr. You had to be at the TV at a certain time no prerecording , etc. Good topic by the way. Essentially all the other characters on the show were suspects. Ultimately, the person who pulled the trigger was revealed to be Kristin Shepard (Mary Crosby) in the "Who Done It?" episode which aired on November 21, 1980. Kristin was J.R.'s scheming sister-in-law and mistress, who shot him in a fit of anger. J.R. Link to post Share on other sites

And the cleaning woman found him shot in the November 7 episode, so they drew it out over less than a month. Nowadays it would be the season finale cliff-hanger - we'd have to endure summer reruns and probably a couple new season episodes before finding out who shot him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
CHuDWah 448 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 In the 70's I was older than the kids in the OP pic. But I remember the 50s when a kid got a childhood disease like measles, chickenpox, etc, the assumption was it would spread - moms would visit with their kids to get them infected and "get it over with!" Yeah, different times. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, different times. I exposed my daughter to chicken pox in the early 90’s. My son had already had them. He contracted them from me when he was 4 months old. I got them at a doctor’s office bringing my son in for a check up. I got very sick and wanted to make sure that didn’t happen to my kids as adults. Link to post Share on other sites

I had chickenpox and both kinds of measles as a child - don't recall any of them being that bad. Never did have mumps though. You may know shingles is caused by the chickenpox virus - have you had the vaccine? I got it and haven't had shingles. Wife had shingles - it ain't fun. Link to post Share on other sites

So --- If you get Chicken Pox as a kid you get sick, but if you get it as an adult, you don't get kids? We both had Chicken Pox as kids, saw my wife's Dad suffer with shingles, and both have now had the Shingrix vaccine shots, hoping that prevention is the best cure Edited November 24, 2020 by Marty Roth (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites

How did you get that from what I said? victorialynn2 said she got chickenpox as an adult and got very sick - I said that's often the case when adults get so-called "childhood diseases" like chickenpox. It's the same virus but kids seem more resistant for some reason. Apparently when you get the virus as a child, it stays in your system and can reappear as shingles in adulthood. My wife and I both had chickenpox as kids. She had shingles before there was vaccine and was miserable with it. We both were vaccinated with Zostavax, then with Shingrix when it came out later - no more shingles so far. Shingrix is now the prefered vaccine. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

oldcarfudd 631 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I always thought it was getting mumps as an adult that made you sterile, or impotent. Chicken pox, too? Link to post Share on other sites

victorialynn2 1,560 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 For the record, it didn’t affect my ability to have another child. I would not recommend getting it as an adult though. I had terrible migraines for months and they even checked for a brain tumor. Luckily all was good in the end with no long term issues. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AURktman 127 Posted Saturday at 03:30 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:30 AM Shingles, having had them I would say that is a condition I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Only had them once 10 years ago, but that is one of the most memorable pains I've had second only to the tendonitis I get occasionally in my left elbow. Link to post Share on other sites
