a thinner upper lip. i am so totally hating that -- and, seriously considering a lip lift (but, also seriously considering that, with the wrong doc, could end up looking like tom noonan in manhunter).

what else from the more-ted-than-jai formative years ...

returning glass bottles to the grocery store
no shopping on sundays
had to wear dresses to school
coffee percolators...
reel-to-reel home movies & movies at school: usually disney's johnny tremain ...

(sorry people, sometimes I just feel like singing! Ok, who shouted "RUN")

I woke up this morning,
The sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able,
I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face

Woke up and realised
This world's not so bad after all
Looked at it through a child's eyes, and
I saw these beautiful
Things that you never think about
Like the ocean, moonlight, stars and clouds
It's amazing how we don't
Appreciate our blessings...

Wichita actually didn't get hit with any of the tornadoes, just a lot of icky heavy rain for awhile.

Childhood Memories, huh?

Can you top these....

.....Seeing "Fantasia" in its FIRST release and screaming my head off when the wicked witch pushed rocks over the cliff during the "Night on Bald Mountain" sequence.

.....Standing in line with my mom, when she went to get our family's food ration books. War time, ya know!

....."Liberty" stamps were sold at school for 10 cents each. When you had pasted a whole book full of them you traded it in and were given a War Bond worth $25 at maturity.

.....The butcher at your local meat market would give you 2 cents for every pound of used kitchen grease you brought in a used coffee can...that is if you had the ration stamps to buy coffee in the first place.

.....and speaking of cans, the trashmen picked them up separately. They told us they could make shell casings to make the war over sooner.

.....And then the post war rush to make up for lost time! I remember the only place you could watch television was in the barroom on my paper route or in the front window of the electrical store with a loudspeaker out front.

.....and the TV sets had big, bubble magnifying glasses in front of them to make the picture bigger.

Thanks for the info. It's a great little ditty.
BTW, I'm an evangelical Christian who stumbled upon QE one time and was impressed by the expertise the boys showed in all aspects of the makeovers they did. But I was more impressed by how they respected and treated the people they come in contact with. We Christians can learn a thing or two from these guys. It's true I can do without a lot of the sexual chit-chat, but I gotta tell ya, the guys show some real character sometimes. The way they honor heterosexual relationships really surprised me. I never miss an episode now.
