I received this from a friend of mine in an e-mail. I was going to put it on my other blog This too shall pass (thru)because that is what that blog is all about, but I decided to place it here. It definitely dates me, but out of this whole list there are only two (2) items on the whole thing that I do not remember.So here's to some good memories.(Especially teaberry gum, I used to ove that stuff.)
