And if you were driving with a baby on a pillow on the front seat, I hope you were only going 5 miles an hour!!

I'm just as nostalgic as everyone else but as the child they had to pry out from under the glove compartment in shock and my baby sister knocked unconscious because she was in the seat next to my mother when a drunk rear ended us, I'm glad we have seatbelts now. Of course our parents didn't know any better then and they thought they could throw that stiff arm out and catch us, which Mama tried. I was a mother hen and my car didn't move until everyone was belted in and no one was allowed to ride up front until they turned 12. They thought it was a rite of passage. LOL I also rode in the back of a pickup on the side of the bed- I had good balance back then but don't tell my kids.

I wonder why the gov't doesn't buy stuff from farmers for surplus foods now instead of paying them NOT to grow produce. Perhaps it isn't politically correct to distribute unbranded foods instead of expensive things with food stamps. We certainly happy to get food that we didn't usually afford.

not only that -- they were "living in sin" I guess it was OK if you lived in the jungle -- did we ever wonder what they ate?? and where it came from??

It had been many years since I had seen a Tarzan movie. A couple of months ago, one was shown on AMC or some such channel. To my utter amazement, I was shocked by how little both Tarzan and Jane wore! Guess, as a kid, I never noticed. Now-a-days, nakeditity is so common, I don't really notice it in a film. I suppose I had different expectations from films that old. Silly me! :-)
