You really don't look much different now. Except for the poodle perm in that one pic. I have some of those too. I have curly hair and I STILL permed it.

Thanks! No, never lived in FL. My grandparents did though, and we are going to Sanibel Island in 8 days for our anniversary. I always hated poodle perms. Still do, lol! I used to love working on cars, did it for many years, even had a job at a garage. I have rebuilt 4-5 engines. 3 all by myself. Now I'm too fat & lazy. Before I had all the animals I was in love with my car.

Because she uses shampoo that causes "body" and "Fluffy" and it runs down her body and made her that way. Me too. Now I need a reduction shampoo.
