Could toss a pencil or pen in her hair and it would stick.

She didn't appreciate it as much as I did, though. I found if I was was really stealthy, I could place 3 or 4 into various places in that helmet of hair before she noticed.

It was worth the swat.

Besides, she usually missed.

I had a landlady once who was very skinny and sickly looking. She would cough a 100 times just while I was paying the rent. It was weird, like it was out of habit and it was sickening because she would not always cover her mouth. I hated even touching the receipt she gave me for paying the rent. Ew.

Her house was really dirty too. With cats and the aroma of cat litter boxes.
Oh, that's nasty. I always cover my mouth when I cough. You rented a place from a cat lady? Yikes.

1982 was my first beloved demon witch shotgun wedding, good times, good times.


I was just a kid in the 60's, born in 61, dang Trout, you must have had all the fun in the world, I am jealous now, and still, being a kid in the 60's was still so magical. Elvis, the Kennedys, landed on the moon{I mean, at least I think we did lol.}


Mohamed Ali was my favorite, him and that Nastase Tennis player, remember him Trout?{early 70's though}


A man after your own heart, freaking screaming and cursing, I could see you doing that and the whole world became fans, man I loved that dude.

It was the beginning of video games.


Above all these this was the hairstyles and the changing attitudes of woman and they big heads.


I swear that they just don't make women like they used to, those beautiful women in the 60's, I mean is it just me or did the body of women evolve?


You just don't see women with the same kind of bodies like it was in the 60's, sounds wrong, but I can't help believing it, I see one of those old 60's movies and it just seems like women are not build the same anymore.

It was even better with older siblings. As a small child I remember watching older sisters go nuts over Beatles in mid-60s and the music from Motown!!! Remember Diana Ross? Love Child! Wow, out of this world.

Then by the late 60s I was listening to Jethro Tull's Cross-Eyed Mary. You are correct, the 60s were a great time to grow up. Even TV was fantastic. The Munter's, Adam's Family, Get Smart, Twilight Zone, etc.

Today's drivel on TV is pretty sad in comparison. Although I never get tired of nature documentaries.

You are really starting to grow on me.


I had two older sisters, nothing ever be like Motown, best music ever made in the 60s, One thing I like so much about my daughter is her choices in music, she should be a D J.


She hardly plays anything but 60s music, and then to be crushed and betrayed by my two sons growing up on rap, those poor boys must be retarded but at least my daughter cool, me and her mock the boys lol.
