My word, I would have never dreamed they still make the sprinklers.

I remember my first hair dryer in the early sixties. I thought I had died and gone to heaven, I tell you. It had a long hose and a big plastic bonnet. Before the dryer, I had to wash my hair on Saturday, roll it, and wait all day for it to dry. Back then, before hair dryers, if a girl told a guy that she couldn't go out with him because she had to wash her hair...she was'nt lying. LOL

Oh yeah! Funny.... The other day I was searching for something in my daughter's linen closet and saw my very first hair dryer sitting there!

It was/is blue, with that long tube and that poofy cap that swelled when you turned the motor on! And the exhaust on the side dried your nail polish at the same time.

Remember those round rollers with the plastic sticky stuff that stabbed you in the head? Before that dryer, I slept in those rollers!

My son told me he remembers the good old days when computers were so slow you could read the text as it scrolled by on the computer screen.
