    Hi Sierra, I loved your post. My sister lived in Oakland, CA for about ten years. She was in the Oakland fire and lost everything. That's when my nephew came to live with us for 13 months.

    Those concerts you mentioned must have been great!

    I'm a 1956 gal. I remember all of the things but white lipstick. LOL

    No one said anything about the VW van....I was a true flower child. And earth shoes, remember those. Also rawhide tied around your wrist.

    OMG~~I just heard this song
    and had to share

    flashback city

    The name game!

    Shirley!
    Shirley, Shirley bo Birley Bonana fanna fo Firley
    Fee fy mo Mirley, Shirley!

    Lincoln!
    Lincoln, Lincoln bo Bincoln Bonana fanna fo Fincoln
    Fee fy mo Mincoln, Lincoln!

    Come on everybody!
    I say now let's play a game
    I betcha I can make a rhyme out of anybody's name
    The first letter of the name, I treat it like it wasn't there
    But a B or an F or an M will appear
    And then I say bo add a B then I say the name and Bonana fanna and a fo
    And then I say the name again with an F very plain
    and a fee fy and a mo
    And then I say the name again with an M this time
    and there isn't any name that I can't rhyme

    Arnold!
    Arnold, Arnold bo Barnold Bonana fanna fo Farnold
    Fee fy mo Marnold Arnold!

    But if the first two letters are ever the same,
    I drop them both and say the name like
    Bob, Bob drop the B's Bo ob
    For Fred, Fred drop the F's Fo red
    For Mary, Mary drop the M's Mo ary
    That's the only rule that is contrary.

    Okay? Now say Bo: Bo
    Now Tony with a B: Bony
    Then Bonana fanna fo: bonana fanna fo
    Then you say the name again with an F very plain: Fony
    Then a fee fy and a mo: fee fy mo
    Then you say the name again with an M this time: Mony
    And there isn't any name that you can't rhyme

    Every body do Tony!
    Pretty good, let's do Billy!
    Very good, let's do Marsha!
    A little trick with Nick!
    The name game
    signing off

    Buffalo sandals?? Maybe if I saw a picture I might remember them.

    Zipped up only to the bra line. Cleavage must show, or what would be the point? Oh, I miss my cleavage.

    I was born in 1949. I remember our first TV, poodle skirts, car hops, American Bandstand, Mickey Mouse Club, Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Greenjeans, Buffalo Bob and Clarabelle the Clown, of course Howdy Doody. I had a Davy Crockett bedspread. I used to dress up in my mothers dresses and HATS!!! We made mud pies in the front yard. We used to look at her old albums and giggle at the funny names. I would get in trouble because I like to play softball with my brother and his friends. Girls were not supposed to do that. Of course, I was a rebel. We used to wear these funny little tops, kinda like the precursor of the tube top. Made of cotton with elastic on top and bottom. It would cover about 3 inches of your chest. Of course we were all so young there was nothing to hide. LOL

    Ah, the good ole days.

    Sorry for the off topic but I just had to say this.

    The word "sandal" always reminds me of this embrrassing story. I tend to speak "Aussie English" as most of my close friends are from Australia.
    One day in last summer I was talking to one of my good American friends. He's from Florida and we were complaining how sticky our weather was. He asked me "so what do you usually wear to work?", I answered "I always wear something casual like jeans etc with sneakers but I could go with thongs when it's this hot like crazy!". Well, at that time, I didn't know thongs mean those naughty panties in the States!!! In Australia, they call sandals thongs. Needless to say he was utterly stunned. It took me a while to see what's wrong with me.

    Fumi, we call sandals, thongs too! But usually the kind of sandals that have two straps that go between your toes also known as "flip-flops". I guess that's where the panties got their name, except instead of between your toes it goes between...

    Try to remember the kind of September
    When life was slow and oh so mellow
    Try to remember the kind of September
    When grass was green and grain so yellow
    Try to remember the kind of September
    When you were a young and a callow fellow
    Try to remember and if you remember
    Then follow--follow, oh-oh

    stumbled upon
    this quote
    today~~deiced it belonged here
    Memory is a child
    walking along a seashore

    You never can tell

    Allright!

    Keep on truckin'
    Let it all hang out
    Love Power
