  • Walk down memory lane

    Listened to the episode with Michelle Obama as I walked to the Hands Off rally. Same kitchen and activities (S&H Green Stamps!) but instead of straightening already stick straight hair I was getting a Toni Home Permanent. Horrible smell and results. Thanks for the memories.
