This picture is so wrong! on so many different levels I just have to post it and let you all see for yourselves...
There was also an incident that made me feel older than I really am!!!! GF and I were walking through the store and two girls (from here forward known as "young whippersnappers") picked up an odd looking object with tubes, chords and a bag all contained in a box with a zipper on it. They were trying to guess what it was to no avail. So the young whippersnappers asked US! if we knew what it was.....*sigh* sadly we did. "That is a portable hairdryer that women used to use 'back in the day' so their hair would dry faster on rollers..." I remember my mom used one of those and GF remembered her mom using one of those. I guess MY generation is a little older than the young whippersnappers!!! Then after that little incident we looked around and were acutely aware of the fact that everything in that store was a part (somewhere/somehow) of our childhood...

Isn't it great! I love funky eclectic stuff like that! (is your aunt just a little "old fashioned"?)
Oops did blogger swallow my comment? I love going to those antique collecter shows, full of useless stuff, but I always go OMG I remember that.
Eight-track tapes, sure, I remember them. But I never used them even when they were the 'in' format. They always seemed dated to me.
