LOL. As an afterthought--many decades ago when it was the "old ladies" that wore their hair in buns, the younger ones wore short, permed, easy care hairdos. Today it's the older ones that have the short, easy care hairdos and the younger ones are wearing the buns. I let my own hair grow for the past two years so I could wear a pony tail once more before I die (did so in the 50's) and have also put my hair up into a sloppy bun on occasion. But every time I do a bun and look at myself in the mirror all I see is an old, gray haired lady with a grannie bun who looks like an old, gray haired lady with a grannie bun--just as I remember my own grandmother from the 1940's.

When I was a little girl, telephone numbers still started with letters - ALPine-4562, for example.

I remember we had an 8 party farm-in telephone back then in the rural area.

$.05 phone call from a wooden telephone booth, the booth had a light and fan in it.

Practice Marching with S.K.E.K. DC in Franklin Park, now a days I would need an AK47 just to get me to walk through the park.

And there was no remote! We had to get up and down out of our chairs to change the station.

Back in the "old days" we never heard of "air pollution", let alone, CLIMATE CHANGE!
