LOL...I grew up with hardwood floors, and those rugs were everywhere.

I'm so old... I remember the Apollo 13 lunar landing.

I remember that too. Dad made us kids all come in and watch it, he said history was being made. He was right.

All those books and a nice, thick Trapper Keeper. Life was so much more simple back then.

Oh no. Much, much older. That was the last of my many smallpox shots. I think 1977 or 1978. I was just going to college I think.
The US stopped vaccinating earlier than that.

It was officially eradicated in 1980, but they stopped vaccinations in the US earlier

I think mine was the late 60s as well. I’ve got a heck of a scar to prove it.

Yes. We traveled a lot. I think it was eradicated in Africa in the late 1970s. And yea, big scars!
