That there lavender (pink?) Challenger with the 340 six-pack.




I have a funny story about this. One time when my girlfriends and I were at a concert, we came out to the lobby to have a smoke (cigarettes) and there were about a hundred people out there smoking joints, as well as two or three police officers. I asked one of them how come they didn't bust all these guys for smoking pot and he said, "See how many of them there are? And see how many of us there are?" Oh, yeah. Safety in numbers.



LOL! Archie and Edith. :)

Yes, I do. Thrrrreee!



Back in the early 70s, when I was in the 8th grade (how old is that?) I was babysitting a 3 year old boy and his infant sister every Saturday night for $1 an hour. I usually made $5 a week, and I WAS RICH!

Who remembers when leather was big

I still have all my tools, and some pieces I made. My best one is a large leather notebook (3-ring binder type). I didn't do a lot of stamping, I carved everything. That was so much fun, and the stuff was so beautiful!

That HAS to be a joke. I can't believe that was a thing, even in the 50s.

In other news, did anyone else have trouble getting on here the last few days? I couldn't get VU to come up at all for the last three days, although I was gone today, so I didn't get a chance to check in until just now.
