Mad Men captured the sixties, with everyone puffing like crazy. Mom, smoking away, even let the toddlers play in those thin dry-cleaning bags without a thought of suffocation.

“Mom, smoking away, even let the toddlers play in those thin dry-cleaning bags without a thought of suffocation.”

I laughed so hard when Betty on that show told her bored kid to go play with the dry cleaning bag. We didn’t see the series when it came out, but binge watched earlier this year. Interesting. I still have sewing patterns for some of the clothes they wore in the show The smoking, though ...!

Mad Men was a hoot at times.

Early on, the main female was in the Doctor’s exam room. She was pregnant. Her young daughter was with her. Mom lit up. A few moments later, the Doc came in, and he lit up.

I was LOL. That was the way it used to be.

no kneepads, no helmets, no airbags, no seat-belts or when they were there, no one paid the slightest attention to them ... it’s a wonder anyone survived ...
