Sometimes it's easier to remember 30 years ago versus 5 minutes ago!
Thirty years ago I lived on a ranch in Skull Valley Az, I had a 3yr old, a broken down VW and no phone.
I remember Lynn Fromme from Taft High School, Woodland Hills CA. She was sweet shy and well liked. I was about a year and a half ahead of her. That whole Manson thing was when we started making sure the door was locked. My friend got the address to the Tate house and we drove up to the gates and just gawked and creeped ourselves out.
MaryKay...I may have known your husband if he was in the Valley in the 60's!
I don't post much because my 63 year old hands are a pain but I'm having a really good week!

Mmmm, funny how the young, sweet, shy ones are often the most vulnerable to the likes of a Manson.
Sorry to hear about your hands. As I've often these past couple of years, aging isn't for sissies!!!!!

Lucy, Mike is from Canoga Park, You are the same age, but he joined the military at 17..not by choice! He was a bad boy type involved with car clubs (gangs) and was kicked out of several schools. The Military did wonders for him! He tuned out to be a fine man, while his old buddies are in jail or dead.
Because others have real pics available (it's always nice to put a "voice" with a face) I added a pic album...a pic of me from about this time last year...and one from 1976. Notice, lol, that the most recent pic is just a head shot since I haven't seen that slender gal of the 70s in a verrrrrrrrrrrry long while.
Well thank you.
Yeah, for me it was the 70s...a great decade. I graduated high school, college and spent 3 years in the army...life was so carefree then. Being a female in the army was like being at a "smorgasboard" (mind you, this long before the threat of AIDS). But like so many of the young and carefree, I didn't really appreciate it.

My whole family loves the show Survivor. I was wondering if anyone here likes to watch it? Jennee is always talking about Big Brother...I was hoping that I'd have people here that would like to hash out each episode!

I'm not big on reality shows. Bout the only one I adore is Groomer Has It, but then again, I'm a groomer!
Awww. Michele - sorry I'm not a survivor fan with ya, but I am sure there are some around here somewhere. My mom LOVES it but of course she's not on here. LOL

Well, just let me step up here...Yes, I love Survivor too so you'll have someone to discuss it with. I also like Amazing Race, Groomer Has It, Design Star....mmmm, it would probably be easier to name the ones I don't like and, at the moment, none are coming to mind.
I like a lot of reality shows too. My husband hates them.
yeah!!! Biggest Loser Season 8 starts September 15th, then Survivor - Samoa starts September 17th....I love tv reality--it's so much more interesting than MY reality.8-o8-o
Michele, now I find reality T.V. to be too contrived. My life is boring, but I had enough excitment in my youth to last for the rest of my life..now I like boring! Reality T.V. has yet to hold my interest for more then a few minutes. I watched one almost whole episode of I am a star..I think that's it, only because Lou Diamond Phillips was in it..I like that kid.
Yeah, that show was pretty bad...I couldn't get through one whole episode. Oh, did you notice that he isn't a kid anymore???? LOL, LOL He was one of the older ones on that show <sigh>.
I think I like the reality shows because I love watching people with all their quirks (my BA is in Psychology and Sociology). Plus, they make some of my family look more normal!!!
I thought he was sooo cute when I was a kid, course there is now much cuter eye candy out there.
Apparently glamping is becoming popular (according to the CBS Early Morning show). What is glamping, you ask? It's "glamorous camping." Now, who in the heck are they kidding?????? That is definitely an oxymoron!!!
I grew up in a family whose only vacation every year was a 2-week camping trip to Canada. Camping is fun, but I don't believe you can ever make it glamorous. We did know one lady from Iowa (they went the same time every year that we did). She and her husband had a 2 room tent and she always brought along an oriental rug for the front room! She also always wore the big button earrings (remember, this was during the 60s) even while fishing. She did try to make it glamorous.

Jeez glamorous camping, half the fun of camping is not having to get all dolled up, city girls ruin the fun in everything. Hell I've camped places that if you don't get out (no roads in just trails) before the first snow they gotta haul your @$$ out by helicopter. We spent a week there in a lean to my dad rigged up with plastic sheeting cause we couldn't get through the mud to our cabin (a one room dirt floor affair). Nearest town: Chicken, Alaska; population 8. It was a blast I loved it (granted I was 10), I can't wait to go camping when we move back home.
