Please tell me What were you doing????????????????

wendyintx · March 2006

Yes, Patti, I had a lucky rabbit's foot - it was bright orange. Guess the rabbit wasn't so lucky.

I also remember the blue laws. In Texas, they were in effect until 1985!

beachcottage · March 2006

Hey Wedney

I believe
our blue laws ended some time
in the mid sevenites

Do you remember when Quiana Shirts
where the rage...The men wore them
with several buttons opened
for the maucho look ...LOL!

I was a huge All my children fan
years ago.. Remember Laura and Luke?

When my mom
highlighted her hair
back in the day
they called it
tipping and streaking...long before foils they
used the hook and rubber cap

everything was in aerosol
cans...

the bowling shoe craze..
going to the bowling alley
and leaving our shoes
for a pair of bowling shoes I remeber my mom
having a fit !

I remember discovering Ravi Shankar (Nora Jones dad)
in the early seventies

and Bod Marley in my junior year of high school(1974)

Sierra · March 2006

Hugs

csp · March 2006

Sierra,

you forgot my size- holy cow!

Vicki,

Was there a zebra in that comercial for Beechnut?

Does any one remember creepy crawlers it was this liquid

plastic stuff and had metal molds in the shapes of bugs,

and you baked them. How about your Easy Bake oven I loved those little cakes and pizza.

Wendy oh my gosh the pixie cut with tweety bird bangs!

Did any one have those little sun suits they tied at the shoulders and had elastic leg openings, just about every picture of me when I was little I am wearing one with a pixie cut. lol.

For Ravdeb~ Now comes the time to say good bye to all our company

M-I-C- see ya real soon

K-E-Y- why because we like you!

M-O-U-S-E-------

Hugs,

Carrie

VickiTN · March 2006

Carrie,
YES!!! There was a zebra in that Beechnut commercial! I'd forgot all about that! Thanks for reminding me!

And, yes, I have some photos of me in those little sun suits you described!

What about those stirrup pants? Had stirrups at the bottom of your pants that went across the bottom of your feet? Had those as a child and then again in later years...

hugs,
vicki

Sierra · March 2006

Happy Friday to all:

I used to wear those stirrups
pants..

Now, this is sad.
the link on Whiteney Houston
such a beautiful and talented
lady..

I cant get over it..
this was discussed on our radio
last night

http://breakingnews.iol.ie/entertainment/story.asp?j=177782802&p=y777835x8

Hugs

VickiTN · March 2006

Happy Friday to you, too, Sierra....(although, now it's almost Saturday!)

Yes, it is very sad about Whitney Houston. It's been obvious to me for several years now that she has had a terrible drug addiction. Saw her on a few talk shows and it was just heart breaking to see. Hope she's able to face her addiction and over come it.

hugs,
vicki

beachcottage · April 2006

Speaking of stirrups...
Looks like the gaucho is coming back

I have been
thinking about
gardening and I just had
this flashback
of sitting in a tire swing
that hung from this huge weeping willow tree
we would wind the chain so tight and let go..

Remember those miniature wax
mini bottle of soda with the colored
liquid stuff inside?

I just took my viactive calcium
supplement...It reminded me of
those diet fads of the day...They were chocolate
diet aids called ayds? My mom used to pop them and remember eating them like candy
when she was not looking...LOL

xoxo
Patti

KariLynn · April 2006

I LOVED those plastic bottles!!! Maybe they are what led to the compulsive straw chewing that I still do - trying to get every drop of flavor!!

VickiTN · April 2006

Yep, I'm noticing many people wearing the gauchos now, again, too.... cute!

And, I remember those mini wax soda bottles, too...

Anyone remember having "sack" races? Two people put one leg each in a cloth sack (potato sack?) and race other pairs of people in sacks?

hugs,
vicki

longcoolwoman · April 2006

Okay, I'm game...I was born in 1957 as well. Some of these things I'm sure were mentioned before, but here are some of mine:

Those big red wax lips

Peace sign necklaces

Threading together beer or soda tabs, when they were actually pulled off the can

Playing Devil in the Ditch and Kick the Can

Marco Polo in the pool, which has survived handily

Necco wafers which have also survived

Bobby Sherman (had a crush on him)

Fun! Vicki, we gotta do lunch and compare memories! ;-)

csp · April 2006

Patti,
I am smiling and humming I loved those what cool sites!!
and every time I hear that song about golden sands it makes think of warm tropical vacations.

I likes those little wax cola bottles too,
did your Mother tell you don't swallow the wax!

Vicki I had stirrup pants too
which reminds me of my snow boots with the little strip of
fake fur at the top and snow always went down the tops of them and I'd come in from playing with my toes and fingers so cold ,
but I didn't care there was no way I coming in from the snow just because I was cold lol !

hugs,
Carrie

VickiTN · April 2006

Patti,
Love that song - A Whiter Shade of Pale!

LongCoolWoman - yes, we'll definitely need to do lunch soon and compare memories!

Just saw a big bumble bee buzzing around my azelea bush today - reminds me of taking glass mayonaise jars and catching bees in the summer. Also used to love to catch lightening bugs at night.

hugs,
vicki

beachcottage · April 2006

Vicki loved
catching lightning bugs too!!

I want to figure out
how to post a picture here

When I was in college, we'd have dancing parties in the house we were renting and play the album from American Graffiti...remember that???? 1,2,3'o'clock,4o'clock rock..we would dance on the tables!!! Yes, ME!!!

Loved those wax lips and cola bottles, too.and dots on paper and licorice gum....

christineK · April 2006

It college we were all playing Animal House soundtrack. Going "greek" was back in style along with the Preppy Handbook. (very early 80's)

Monogram sweaters, penny loafers, pastel oxford cloth shirts

You know you make me wanna SHOUT! Lift you hands up and SHOUT!

sharon68 · April 2006

Patti...think the old photo idea would be great but I don't know how to do it either!:(

loved sucking on those coke bottles, too, and chewing the wax!

Herman's Hermits were great ...along with the Dave Clark 5
"don't let the sun catch you crying ...oooohhh no"

love the memories, gals.....Sharon F

Pegk · April 2006

wax bottles of flavored liquid, wax lips, candy cigarettes before the surgeon general came out with his warning, long straws with flavored sugar
Did that stuff really taste good?

Do you remember when candy bars or boxes were a nickle?
Bazooka bubble gum was a penny with a wrapped up comic inside.

I just thought of a jingle from a Saturday morning commercial.

A little cartoon boy in an engineer's cap:
Charlie says....love those Good & Plentys
Charlie says.....they really ring the bell
Charlie says .....love those Good & Plentys
Don't know any other candy that I love so well!
(pink and white candy covered licorice)

or what about...

N.E.S.T.L.E.S.
Nestle's makes the very best....
....CHOCOLATE

Pegk · April 2006

I was a Herman's Hermits fan way back when...

Baby, Baby, Can't You Here My Heartbeat
Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter
I'm Henry VII I Am
Silhouettes
Dandy

I'm sure I'll think of some more later

beachcottage · April 2006

Keep those memories
flowing my friends

I will try to figure
the picture thing

Happy Friday

Deese · April 2006

Patti, I don't have the equipment to put pics on but I have my secret weapon...CARRIE! Get back with me Carrie cause mom just gave me an old black & white of me and you (oh yeah, she gave me one to give to you too, I forgot!). Maybe you could post it.

I also loved Bobby Sherman and played one of his 45's over and over until I memorized it. Can't remember for the life of me what that song was. Patti, you have to keep thinking of the words to that song until I see if it comes back to me! LOL

Denise

csp · April 2006

This is one of my favorite Photo's
This is my Mother, Grandmother & Grandfather

I will scan some more pics to post need to hunt them up.

Carrie

christineK · April 2006

Carrie , your mother is as precious as Shirley Temple(another survivor, I think)

VickiTN · April 2006

Oh, Carrie! Your mother is even more adorable than Shirley Temple! I love that picture!

hugs,
vicki

csp · April 2006

My grandmother told me about this picture. She said that Shirley Temple was very popular and all the ladies were curling their little girls hair and putiing little short dresses on them, My grandfather just got home from the navy and Grandma said she wanted Mom to have a little sailor dress.

Vicki I love your new pic, your so pretty!

Carrie

Please tell me What were you doing????????????????
