Answer 1

Hey! That's my line! Whenever someone asks me my age I always respond "old enough to know better and too young to care!" Makes 'em smile and keeps 'em guessin'! lol

And, yes ... to all the above. Wow! talk about some memories. Thanks. So many of those brought a smile to my face. I recently bought a set of those metal ice cube trays ... they bring back wonderful memories of times spent at my grandparents house. And how about along with those wax coke bottles - the big red wax lips? Remember those? You could chew in them for all of about 2 minutes before the flavor was totally gone ... but that wasn't the point really. They were one of my favorites! See? We didn't need collagen injections back then ... we had it goin' on! =)

And for the youngsters who may be reading this ... is wasn't really that long ago ... sadly, many feel the world has come a long way since then ... personally ... I beg to differ.

Ahhh ... those were the days my friend! Thanks again for the memories.

Peace to you ...
