History : November 22nd, 1963

November 22nd, 1963

Today is the 22nd of November. The anniversary of John F Kennedy's assassination.
It was even on a Friday. I doubt that this can mean very much to many of the young people here, but it is something that I will never forget. I couldn't believe that my teacher could cry! Certainly not in front of us.
We went home early. Everything was quiet. Once we came home, the TV was on for the next several days. That may be nothing to us these days, but in 1963, we had better things to do than to watch TV. 24/7 television didn't exist back then!
This was a sad event. Something had died in all of us. It made no sense. Through television, we were all somehow connected… even through the horror of seeing Oswald shot before our eyes

I accept the fact that most of you will never understand the emotions and the sadness and the communion that this tragedy brought on…. It's something you had to live through. We were united as a nation.


November 22nd, 1963, and the days that followed is a date many of us will never forget.

Re: November 22nd, 1963

My mother was born in 54 and speaks of this as one of her earliest memories.

….out of darkness, out of mind, cast down into the Halls of the Blind!

Re: November 22nd, 1963

Your mom and I were around the same age then. I remember the sadness and the craziness of it all.

Your teacher cried cos she was a red, Joe McCarthy had her classroom bugged and would had her took away to be murdered had she not cried.

My teacher may have been a "red". She also may have taught you a great deal in grammar, punctuation, and spelling!

Re: November 22nd, 1963

What I watched on the history, discovery channels and youtube. LHO was a patsy, who was the ideal fallguy and JD Tippit was the grassy knoll cop sent to kill him. I think 2 cops were sent after him, the other shot Tippit when they failed to kill him and planted a gun on Oswald to complete the coverup for that crime alone.

Re: November 22nd, 1963

I'm very much into that theory.
He's a young kid. He wanted to make a big name for himself.
There ya go!

Re: November 22nd, 1963

Not what I meant, we all have doppelgangers. What if I told you LHO's near perfect doppelganger was in the same place as he was, LHO was not upstairs when that shot was fired and was in fact in the doorway. Tippit and his accomplice were at the grassy knoll, they needed LHO dead asap before he was eventually caught. The doppelganger was told to shoot Tippit instead, Tippit's accomplice planted the gun on Lee as they were arresting him.

Knowing Jack Ruby had terminal cancer, he was sent in to finish the job.

How did Ruby get off then, he was dead by 67!

Re: November 22nd, 1963

He was unlucky, but that is a great tragedy.

Yes. Both were shocking tragic events. Everyone remembers where they were when both happened.

They sold some USA color and pattern themed sweaters at Rave, and now I don't see any nice clothes after that went out of style.

Re: November 22nd, 1963

It amazes me . These things happen and it unites people in a strange and yet beautiful way. We all remember where we were when we heard the news…

John Lennon's death? My husband and I were going to bed. We had turned the TV on in our bedroom. The news was on. It was announced. We just looked at each other and silently cried and held each other.

Re: November 22nd, 1963

I honestly do not care about any of the theorys. I even have a few of my own.

I'm simply remembering this day…. "where were you?" The emotions of those who were there…

I can understand where you are coming from.

This is why you are the best! I believed everything up till 2 years ago when I began searching and talking to others who question everything about our history and reality.

Re: November 22nd, 1963

Hey my friend x
I missed you

Re: November 22nd, 1963

I have missed you ever so much! So happy to know you are still here.
I have found that taking a break for a day or so really helps
I have been so busy getting ready for our holidays. Our Thanksgiving is coming up this week and my sister is coming in to celebrate my birthday with me. So good to have her here! I have been so busy making our special foods and getting the house cleaned and decorated for our holidays. The next couple of months are such a special time for us. It's hectic with the open houses we have, but it's so much fun!
I'll still be around now and then. Glad to know that you are still here!

Re: November 22nd, 1963

You're seeing your sister and you have a birthday and thanksgiving? What a busy time you have ahead of you!

I hope you have a wonderful time. I must admit that the thanksgiving holiday is a mystery to me, we obviously don't celebrate it but we have an American Diner in town that does!

Yes a break is good. I hear Croft is a mod now! That's weird.

Re: November 22nd, 1963

I think he's only a mod of the Tomb Raider and Resident Evil boards. When he was complaining about Deliciousfeet a while back (because the mods list said Deliciousfeet was a mod of the Tomb Raider/Resident Evil boards), I asked if he wanted to be a mod on those boards. He basically said he didn't want to be a mod because those boards had no activity. (Unless I misunderstood him.) I guess he changed his mind, so now he's in charge of all the action on those boards.

Re: November 22nd, 1963

You look beautiful in those colours Crystal!

Thank you for the information and let us hope that moderating those boards doesn't give him too many sleepless nights…


*hatches top secret plan to troll the living shit out of the TR and RE boards*

Re: November 22nd, 1963

Thanks!

about your top-secret plan that isn't so secret anymore. Now I have "Let's Give Them Something to Talk About" on my mind, but these lyrics instead: "Let's Give Him Something to Moderate."

Re: November 22nd, 1963

EXACTLY!
I cannot imagine that they're full of traffic, we'd be doing him a favour to be honest.

Re: November 22nd, 1963

Apparently, I am not a friend of yours. I'm unable to send you a PM.
No worries. I only want to say that I am happy to see you around. I was a bit upset when I saw that you had deleted your posts. It looked as though you had decided to leave for good. It's so good to see you back!

Re: November 22nd, 1963

I like to just look upon our Thanksgiving as a special time to reflect on our good fortune and be thankful for what we have. Of course, we can do that each day. I do!
It's also a long weekend for those of us who work. Happy to have my husband home!
He's happy to eat, drink, and watch FOOTBALL!
Once I have cooked this turkey feast, we have leftovers all weekend and I can enjoy the next few days without cooking. A win win situation!


Croft was given a special spot in his own little kingdom. He is moderator of the Lara Croft board. He's keeping it clean!

Re: November 22nd, 1963

I used to think "December, 1963" was about JFK until I listened more closely to the lyrics and also realized the date would have to be November, not December.

Re: November 22nd, 1963

It was just before Thanksgiving and right around my birthday, which is November 27… same day as his daughter, Caroline…

Re: November 22nd, 1963

Happy Early Birthday!

I think my first big "everyone probably remembers where they were when they found out" event was finding out about Princess Diana's death. Although my story isn't interesting. I was home, watching TV. I didn't really have much interest in the royal family or anything, but obviously I knew who she was and it was shocking news.

Re: November 22nd, 1963

Thanks for the birthday wishes!
Princess Diana's death… I was in my car. I was picking up our 15 year old son from work. I heard it on the radio. That was weird. I've always been interested in the royal family. Morbid? Probably! They are one fun family! Not much different than mine! That tells you a whole lot about ME!

Re: November 22nd, 1963

Philip and Elizabeth
Harry and Meghan
Charles and Camilla (sp?)
William and Kate
A few others…

I enjoy checking them out.
