too funny ~ I had never heard of clackers before, thought it might have been a typo the first time I read it ~

and exactly WHY didn't you do your hair like farrah's? hmmmmmmmmm

lets see in 1970 I was six ~ that was a long long long time ago ~ lots of adult beverages since then ~ no wonder I can't remember anything ~ hugs to you Randeeeeee ~j

Well, now I am seriously twitterpated, lol!! As I recall Mad was classified 'magazine' (aka serious literature) and not comic book. Now why you are so vehemently stressing, NO, not ME!! on the Easy Bake, Barbies, and David Cassidy, yet you have burned the image of you Hula Hooping in me brain I can't imagine! You don't mean to infer there'd be anything wrong with that, do you? After all, I had all that, PLUS Hot Wheels, kept in my Wheel carrying case, very cool, lots of track too baby, PLUS Matchbox kept in their own garages, plus GI Joe with Jeep, rifle and all necesary accessories, MEMORIZED the first 3 Star Wars (technically the last 3?) had the same bike it sounds like, same battleship game obssesion and oh, my, BOSS!! The Plane, THE PLANE!!! Nothing wrong with that is there? I still feel quite secure, thank you very much. Though I do feel cheated, everybody know the Banana Splits but me!! And down with Disco baby, I feel a couple songs coming on, Blue Jean Blues and OH, oh yeah!! "Almost cut my hair, happened just the other day, it's gettin kinda long.............."
twitterpated ???
RUTH ?? ?? ??

well...first thought was you were unable to keep it under 140 ....hehehe......

you know how the 70's were.......boys "had to" boys and girls "had to" be girls.........there wasn't all of that "gray" area in between.......
Ruth Luce Apr 30, 2009, 8:01am EDT
Well that just may explain why I had so much trouble then, wouldn't it? lol =~>
good morning RUTH...........
I don't think I want to get into that........
I was just stating on how it was then.......

it is a much different world today and a lot of people are not of "that" mindset anymore......
Jean E. Apr 30, 2009, 8:43am EDT
i love the word twitterpated ~ that's the way my husband described the way he felt about me the first time he saw me.

lol Randee ~ you are so cute it's incredible ~ big hugs ~j
actually Jean, this is the first time I've ever come about the word "twitterpated"....

maybe something to do with the hearts eratic beatings then I suppose........
you're making me blush.......
me cute ? ? ?
thanks........

(((hugs)))
Ruth Luce Apr 30, 2009, 1:12pm EDT
"twitterpated" Dear Randee is a word coined for and used in Disney's 'Bambi'! I was and am not only an incredible softie but adore the practice of (and indulge in) coining new words that just seem more suitable for what is wanted to be expressed. And, I of course was being facetious with my second comment above (OKAY, so I'm a BIG Brat!!!) and there's no need to go into anything, likes to tease I do.............. =~P
I have noticed that about you RUTH.........
you do like to pet the kitty in the opposite direction at times don't you.......

I have the "brat" gene too.......hehehe
