Now thinking back they smelt great, but they sure were crispy hard feeling trying to put on jeans lol. And if it rained, you were shyt out of luck and had to run and grab as many clothes as you could. Ahhh them where the days...

We still have wooden clothespins in this house, only they aren't for hanging up the laundry!

I received quite a few reps to the "Lawrence Welk Show" reference...so i thought this may be fun...

I'll admit when i watched this clip, it touched me deeply... It was pretty much the only entertainment to watch on Saturday nights. Loved the pretty shoes and pretty dresses. Me, mom and dad and my brother always huddled around the TV to watch. Oh how i would love to have one of those Saturday nights back with my family...

OMG my mom was religious about this show... The goodnight song was always sung and as much as I really thought it lame I sang it to my kids and they now sing it to their kids

My given name was thanks to one of the Lennon Sisters who performed on the LWS... Oy!

My mom had a HUGE bottle of this (along with the bath powder) in the bathroom. I remember it being there for most of my childhood. LOL

The items Mom always wished she didn't buy!

I was a Jasmine Love's Babysoft kind of girl. That, lilac nail polish and roll on lipgloss. Sometimes eyeliner if I could sneak it my backpack and apply it at school. My favorites were the lacy things, the headbands and leggings, etc.

Loved the Snoopy snow cone maker and spirograph. The problem is, I've bought many of the these old school toys for my kids and they're so crappy now. They're not made the same way at all. What's happened to the American toy industry?

This is a disposable world we live in now. Nothing is built to last. Manufacturers and Industries can't make money off things that never break.

Remember these??

OMG and we were the cool peeps on the block with this contraption... Shake the fat away!! Yeh right!! I was 6yo, the damn belts reached my neck and head... I think my siblings may have tortured me on this thing at some point...
