Guest guest Posted June 9, 2001 Report Share Posted June 9, 2001 Amy, I am laughing so hard!!! I guess I am so much older than I thought I was. I am going to be leaving here in about an hour going to Alabama for my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary party and I am printing this off knowing my sister and I will spend hours laughing and talking about the "good old days". How funny that I know like all of these. Dana 14 weeks 2 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2001 Report Share Posted June 9, 2001 Oh no! I AM old! I had the Holly Hobbie sleeping bag, the Snoopy Snow Cone Machine, and a pixie haircut right before I started kindergarten. I would like to add that the snow cone machine was very hard to work with ice cubes, and my mother would never buy me crushed ice. Very traumatic. Thanks Amy, I love those!

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2001 Report Share Posted June 9, 2001 Thanks Amy, you really have a way of making me feel my age!! LOL I will say it has given dh a topic to discuss, and of course he tells me he doesn't remember any of them. Only to remind me he is 8 months younger than I am!! I was born in '69 so needless to say I remember almost all of them and my mom has some of these things put away. And like some others had mentioned, there are a few I wanted and begged for and never got!! Any how, THANKS Amy! {{{{HUGS}}}} e >From: "Amy " >Reply-To: PregnancyBabiesAfterEctopic >To: "PBAEP" >Subject: The 70's... >Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2001 10:15:17 -0500 > >I wasn't born until the end of 79 so I don't really know a lot of these (but I do recognize a few).
