Ref, PMT and emt .......ugh yes I do and the oil truck that dribbled oil on the dirt roads to settle summer dust. In a way, glad Pres. Nixon started the EPA. It is only an authority of our fed government,but it has changed things, as did Ralph Nader and the Nader Raiders !

I had spoolies I had dark brown ones. the pink ones hadn't come out yet. they made pin curls without bobby pins. I too liked to play with them. I also remember the milkman coming by in his truck with big chunks of ice all around the dairy products. and he would let us get a piece of ice to crunch on. and my mama always wearing a apron with a bib on it over her printed house dress.and her always having a hankie in her pocket to spit on and wipe our faces.

Oh My gosh!!!! the trip down memory lane you started!!!!
I was in kind of a funk this morning---until I started reading---
Of course - "POP BEADS" caught my eye----and that started the ball rolling........Thank you all for bringing back wonderful, memories.
I did a LOT of inside roller skating at our local rink - which was a HUGE tent that the sides rolled up for the summer breeze---do you remember having ump-teen pairs of pom-poms on your skates!!!!! Oh for the "Good ole days"

I know they had earrings that were clip ons. I never got to see them close up. I had a teacher who wore hers everyday with a different colored leaf shaped pop on. Does anyone have any earrings they would part with?? or just a picture would do. I want to know in my old age that I haven't hallucinated. and if I am, I surely have enjoyed it. lol
