Photos?

That was almost 40 years ago. I'd have to go a hunt, if I find them I'll let you know.

IMPOSSIBLE to sleep on! I used larger ones to try to straighten my wavy hair. I even tried to iron my long hair. Talk about being stupid!

And I used to try to wave my straight hair! Perms, curling irons, hairspray just to have "wings" like Farrah Fawcett.

Ha - I have wavy hair (it was very curly back then) and was desperate to be able to feather it like that! I only could only do it with a blow dryer and a LOT of hairspray.

I remember wing windows and round side mirrors.

Me too. I must be among the last few people to be vaccinated against it. My most recent smallpox vaccine was the same year it was declared eradicated.

I have my scar on my upper left thigh. My Grandmother didn't want my arm scared where everyone could see it.

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

It didn't have a lunar landing. I'm sure it had to go around the moon and head for home. I think they used the Luna lander to get them home.

Correct. Apollo 11, and later Apollo 12, made lunar landings in 1969. Apollo 13 had an explosion in 1970 and had to return to Earth in their lunar module.

I remember the Catholic school fire in the late 1950's. Nuns and students died in the fire because they couldn't get out due to wooden stair cases.
After it happened my elementary school was condemned because it had wooded stairs.

IMPOSSIBLE to sleep on! I used larger ones to try to straighten my wavy hair. I even tried to iron my long hair. Talk about being stupid!

I cut the bottoms out of soup cans and used them for rollers to smooth my long, unruly hair. I could sleep by balancing ny head on the can at the back of my neck and not moving all night. It worked! Girls ironing their hair was not such a stupid idea, that's why we now have curling irons!
