Miscellaneous Life Ramblings

<p>My mom paid my BS tuition with the sales of “pet rocks”! (She had a gift store) Loved Lemon UP shampoo (also avail at the Vt Country Store). I had the Farrah Don’t! Poor Sevendad the moms have hijacked the thread! </p>

<p>Re alarming - I kept a pet rabbit in my dorm room until it chewed through my speaker wires, my friend at another school had a car hidden in the bushes off campus, my cousin had a hand in stealing all of the toilet seats out of his boys dorm (they hid them in the orchestra pit and they were not recovered for several days), but the most alarming thing Chimneykid has done to date is skip Headmaster’s Holiday eve in order to study. What was she thinking? We raised her better…</p>

<p>Lemon Up shampoo - was the cap a lemon?</p>

<p>Flex!!! I can almost smell it now. This is the best thread ever. And yes on the lemon cap… LOL</p>

<p>Yes cap was a lemon! And the smell of Flex is still a defining feature of middle school for me.</p>

<p>Yep, Lemon Up and Milk Plus Six. Hate to say it, I still wear (Avon) Sweet Honesty occasionally – the smell takes ChoatieDad back to…well, never mind.</p>

<p>Come on guys, you know you still have some Brut or British Sterling or Hai Karate around somewhere. You guys smelled wonderful in your clingy mural-design Qiana shirts.</p>

<p>Oooo, I’m starting to get a Bee Gees visual. There goes my work day.</p>

<p>Ooh…and Sean Cassidy hair…wait, I just googled him. Why do girls like boys who look like girls?</p>

<p>Flex is still alive and well. I was a Breck girl myself!</p>

<p>For the guys I have a vague memory of Brylcream (spelling?) and Wild Root hair cream. My dad was a Bay Rum guy, but my first boyfriend wore Old Spice. Think it may have come in that white glass bottle with the ship on it?</p>

<p>Have you SEEN the 1976 Barry Gibb?! Don’t get no better’n that.</p>

<p>(Bet this thread gets moved to the Caf</p>

<p>Here we go! I hear Abba is mulling a 40th Anniversary reunion. I have no idea how I know that. Homepage News… maybe? I hope… </p>

<p>(By the way- Thanks neato, TP and cameo for your kind posts. I truly appreciate it! TP- Photodad started to back out of the doorway, too. :))</p>

<p>Carry on!</p>

<p>What? You guys are too cool to join this conversation or you’re just stunned to find out you shouldn’t be wearing those Qiana shirts anymore? Come on – tell us about the tallest pair of platforms you ever wore or the time you thought an extra half cup of English Leather would make that foxy girl in third period history swoon over your feathered locks. We’re waiting.</p>

<p>There is no way that I, or any other sane guy, is going to jump in and start talking about his Old Spice or something.</p>

<p>No worries, Parlabane: am pretty sure we will discuss it for all of you!</p>

<p>Ok so heres one for you guys- my friends father had the Farrah red swim suit poster in his unfinished basement man cave.
Anyone else used to call Converse sneakers, Chucks?</p>

<p>Parlabane: Is that what I smell?</p>

<p>Muf, my kids still call them that.</p>

<p>Eau de Estrogen is what you smell! This thread is now covered in it.</p>

<p>Gee, maybe that is why our hair smells terrific.</p>

<p>I was an Herbal Essence girl and I loved wearing chucks. My poor mother hated them. I now know the feeling when I see my D wear Doc Martins.</p>

<p>We’ve got Doc’s and Chuck’s in our house. I think they’ve started breeding.</p>
