(Post by nerdbastards contributor Melissa Fouch Machowski)

Judging by the traffic we saw on the first Sears Catalog post from the 1979 Christmas Catalog, you want more! Fast-forward a few years…its the ’80s…Van Halen is on the turn table and your Atari is staaaaarving for more games! Time to bust out the Sears Christmas Catalog and see what’s on the menu. I’ve selected some enticing pages that made some nerds lose sleep on Christmas Eve 1983, all snuggled up in their Batman Underoos. Enjoy!

Wow…page 160 up there was waaaaaaaaay cool, nerdily speaking. Now take a look down there at how you probably looked when you first layed eyes on old page 160. Its true. Face it.

This Christmas I asked Santa to send me back to 1983 so I can reclaim the joy that the above pages gave me.

      Can I make a suggestion? I consider youve obtained anything very good right here. But what in case you added a couple links to some page that backs up what youre stating? Or maybe you can give us something to look at, some thing that would connect what youre saying to one thing tangible? Just a suggestion.

      Hi all, I could not find any way to contact you, and so I genuinely hope that you simply read this remark. I’ve a site about leather purses, and pondered if you would like to trade back links with me. I’ve inserted my email address should you decide to make contact. Thanks.

      … This information is really good and I will say will always be helpful if we try it risk free, So if you can back it up ! That will really help us all. And this might bring some good repute to you. The diet of human beings prior to the arrival of agriculture, technology and civilization is known as the Paleolithic Diet ! This Stone Age diet, in short, consisted of mainly lean red meat and vegetables. In this type of diet animal meat is consumed in large quantities and 45 to 65% of the energy needed by the body is derived from it. Over and over again, life expectancy studies related to diet, including by the World Health Organization (WHO), have concluded that Americans and Europeans would do better to eat more like third world peoples as the options provided by their additional wealth have most often lead to poor nutritional choices. This is the same basis for the USDA based their popular food pyramid in 1994 … Researchers at Harvard have only suggested perhaps tweaking the food pyramid by replacing some dairy products and read meat with more fruits, vegetables, and fish while also emphasizing the importance of improving the ratio of “good” to “bad” cholesterol! Plus, exercise not only makes weight loss much easier, but also lowers blood glucose levels, decreases blood pressure, improved circulation, and increases one’s metabolism. Good regular sleep patterns are also just as important. Diets based on USDA recommendations include DASH, American Diabetic Assoc, Weight Watchers, and Jenny Craig.. When children understand how important “real food” is and where the natural ingredients of our food come from, they will increase the general population’s appreciation for preserving our natural environment and limiting toxins and polluting processes in our world. We may even trend back to the time when people stepped outside their homes to interact with family and neighbors in home and community gardens and block-party barbeques! Does anybody even remember how nice those days were?

      I
      don’t know what to say. This blog is fantastic. That’s not really a really huge
      statement, but it’s all I could come up with after reading this. You know so
      much about this subject.  So much so that
      you made me want to learn more about it. Your blog is my stepping stone, my
      friend. Thanks for the heads up on this subject.

      Keeps the Carpet Looking Great -
      regular carpet cleaning does not only make
      the carpet looking great for a longer time. Otherwise, if you do not
      keep a constant cleaning schedule it will look old and faded. When you allow a professional
      cleaning company to do the job constantly you can ensure that you will derive
      pleasure from the service of the carpet for a longer time.
