Back to what prompted this, the other day while scouring the net i came across a couple of photo&#8217;s of my childhood crushes, Patrick Peterson who was on &#8216;Knot&#8217;s Landing&#8217; and Matthew Labortaux who played Albert Ingles on Little house on the prairie as well as a mega rare photo of Chris Knight and Maureen McCormick&#8217;s album, ah such innocent times, when did life and romance get so serious?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bp0.blogger.com\/_AInLCzbQBXM\/R2CrYKQeDUI\/AAAAAAAAC3c\/YhLpLoEaFCw\/s1600-h\/Patrick+Peterson.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp0.blogger.com\/_AInLCzbQBXM\/R2CrYKQeDUI\/AAAAAAAAC3c\/YhLpLoEaFCw\/s320\/Patrick+Peterson.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143299206015749442\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/bp3.blogger.com\/_AInLCzbQBXM\/R2CrT6QeDTI\/AAAAAAAAC3U\/IY0MJ_DS7oM\/s1600-h\/petersenpat4w.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp3.blogger.com\/_AInLCzbQBXM\/R2CrT6QeDTI\/AAAAAAAAC3U\/IY0MJ_DS7oM\/s320\/petersenpat4w.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143299133001305394\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_AInLCzbQBXM\/R2CrNqQeDSI\/AAAAAAAAC3M\/HdM1fHSWngA\/s1600-h\/rtyrtyr5d6t.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_AInLCzbQBXM\/R2CrNqQeDSI\/AAAAAAAAC3M\/HdM1fHSWngA\/s320\/rtyrtyr5d6t.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143299025627122978\" \/><\/a><br \/><strong>ABOVE PIC&#8217;S:<\/strong> Patrick Peterson.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bp0.blogger.com\/_AInLCzbQBXM\/R2CrEKQeDRI\/AAAAAAAAC3E\/Nnlf0wM2i8k\/s1600-h\/laborteaux.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp0.blogger.com\/_AInLCzbQBXM\/R2CrEKQeDRI\/AAAAAAAAC3E\/Nnlf0wM2i8k\/s320\/laborteaux.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143298862418365714\" \/><\/a><br \/><strong>ABOVE PIC:<\/strong> Matthew Labortaux.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bp0.blogger.com\/_AInLCzbQBXM\/R2HBn6QeDVI\/AAAAAAAAC3k\/he2U_rR3nDQ\/s1600-h\/6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp0.blogger.com\/_AInLCzbQBXM\/R2HBn6QeDVI\/AAAAAAAAC3k\/he2U_rR3nDQ\/s320\/6.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143605140831210834\" \/><\/a><br \/><strong>ABOVE PIC:<\/strong> Maureen McCormick and Chris Knight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HOW, WHAT, WHEN AND WHY:I always love it when people say to me &#8216;So when did you turn gay?&#8217; the only response i have is &#8216;I dunno, when did you turn strait?&#8217; i dont buy the theory that you just &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/?p=959\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/959\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
