OK guys and gals, how many of you can remember items we men and boys used in the 30's to 60's on our hair like Brylcream, Butch Wax, and Wild Root Cream Oil Hair Tonic, and many others. This should bring back good memories for the "old farts.'
Yes, I remember using Butch Wax and Brylcream in the 50's to 60's on my hair. I also remember Dad paying $.12 a gallon for gas during the gas wars of the 50's to 60's.
Memories are such fragile things So soft,fading into dreams Dimly obscured by the bitter smoke That rises up from fires of other years Tinged faintly with laughter,blackened With loss and washed with tears.

WOW, I got my toe on the trigger after reading that!

Depressing, toe on trigger, is a metaphor.

Southern Rose I had forgot all about that. You smelled like a walking flower bed. As they say, thereby hangs a tale!
In the old school we went to there were steam radiators for heat. The longer the day went the hotter they got but when you first got there the rooms were like ice boxes.
So we are all sitting there one cold winter day and about mid morning we all began to smell something odd. The teacher, Miz Gem Floyd starts sniffing the air and begins to walk up and down the rows of kids sniffing away.
She comes to Fritz King and stops. Sniffs a couple of times and leans over and smells his head.
" Fritz, what in the world do you have on your head'" she said.
"Well'um Miz Gem, Freddy used up all the Southern Rose and I had to use bacon grease."
She sent him to the lunch room and made him wash his head in the sink using dish washing soap and hot water.
