Ohh that made me think of driving cross the states and seeing them signs on the side of the road while you were driving when you read them as you passed them they made up a whole commercial about something. I remember ones about shaving cream or after shave. Burma Shave, if I remember correctly. LOL those were always fun to read! |

Mon 5/12/2008 7:22p | See's Candies and Mother's pink and white iced Animal Cookies!!!
Those were my two favorite things growing up. When we moved to Arkansas in 1970 I had to do without for a year. We would come to CA the day after school was out and I would load up on the cookies and candies!!!
If course, after we moved back to CA in 1984 I rarely go to See's and rarely get those cookies. My late husband would make a special trip to See's for my birthday to get me my favorites: Marzipans and the pastel colored bon bons (apricot, coconut and orange). |

Mon 5/12/2008 7:28p | ohh remember those Astronaut sticks? They were these chewy ( think tootsie rollish )sticks in a box but were individualy wrapped in some kind of aluminum foil lined paper and they came in chocolate and I think butterscotch flavor. I used to LOVE those and couldnt wait to open my lunchbox to see if I had one in there for a snack when I was in school. |

And don't forget Charlie! I had the cologne, the soap, the powder...
Okay, so it wasn't exactly fine perfume...
How about pink popcorn that came in those brick shapes! And those giant dill pickles you picked out of the pickle barrel. We could eat those for a week.
Did anyone ever sleep on pallets on the floor? Just lots of homemade quilts laid down when your cousins or friends came and spent the night... Or how about sleeping 2 or 3 to a bed and having one person sleeping at the foot of the bed so you always had someone's feet in your face...
Remember when coulotte (sp) skirts first came out? And those white patent leathery looking knee high boots that fit your legs like a second skin! And those dresses I wore in high school that were so short you had to wear matching underwear...what did they call them...oh yeah! Sizzlers! I remember my first pair of clogs...brown leather and my Dr. Scholl's wooden soled sandals. Don't they still have those? And Earth shoes! I think I was in seventh grade when our school finally allowed girls to wear pants on campus. I had a pair of green hip hugger bell bottoms and a pair of light blue hip hugger bells with this really wide red belt. And my dad was always calling me a "hippy" cause I didn't want to wear dresses and I had my hair in braids or ponytails . |

Tue 5/13/2008 7:44a | did you tie your pony tails with yarn? LOL! omg Tinkeroon I SWEAR we grew up together. every time you post I get the MAJOR MAJOR flashbacks! I havent thought about that stuff for years! It's so amazing the things you are posting because it's like your reading my mind! I LOVE IT!
( them boots had the squarest heel Ive ever seen! I loved my clogs and they were brown leather too with rivets on the sides!) I had baby blue hiphugger bell bottoms that were my faves and wore them with a white angle shirt with the flaired sleeves and it had embroidery flowers on the sides of the neck of the shirt. omg! whata hoot! I actually still kinda like that hippy look. My mom always said I dressed like a gypsy! LOL!!! |

Tue 5/13/2008 7:50a | I used to love to put my Elton John "Goodbye Yellowbrick Road" album and listen to it over and over again. I Swear I wore that thing out and had to buy another one because my old one was so worn out and scratched from use and being passed around. I wore Babe perfume then changed to Zany and Sweet Honesty and Candid from Avon.
Tinkeroon did you have those big round balls on your pony tail holders? |

Tue 5/13/2008 9:55a | Hey, soul sisters (Lady and Tink) I'm there with ya, though I'm a wee bit older...maybe a lot. Luckily it was my kids that were stuck with the nappy old nasty yarn in their hair, poor girls.
We had Emeraude in 29 Palms and Vista and Heaven Sent, as well. We did pettipants, as well. (Those pantaloon things with lace that were supposed to show under your miniskirts)
Did you do midi-skirts and maxi-skirts, too? (Never did like the maxi moniker!)
HAD to listen to Wolfman Jack at night or KOMA radio. And the Boss jock from somewhere in L.A. Casey Kasem...radio and 45's were my life! |

Tue 5/13/2008 9:59a | disneylandfan8: my condolences on the Pinto! Giving up a 'stang...what WERE you thinking?!?!? :)
My first car was a pale green 52? 54? maybe it was a '59...Rambler. Mint condition. Push-button start. Immaculate. Came home one day (I was a senior in high school) and dad, with the greatest betrayal in his history, had traded it in for a Toyota.
It was like a death to me. Still is. What a car....the "R" and "M" were missing from the front grill (the only un-mintness about it) and we called it "Abler".
It WAS Abler than most.... *sniff* |
