The Time of Your Life

Hole up..hole up ...hole up...gurllllllllllllll you just took me back! Chick-o-Sticks *smh* ummm ummm ummmmm those were my favorites!!!! Hands down

Folks don't know about that right there boyyyyyy boy boy! Excuse me I think I just nutted  brb....LMAO 

 You ARE a nut, you soooo crazy!!

Awww man, I thought it was spelled CHICK-o..but it's been so long I forgot how the heck it was spelled.

I could go on for days with the childhood though. Cousins used to collect tadpoles, then let them go and step on them!!  Times like that reminded me that I was a girl..iccckkk!

One thing I am embarassed about was having a crush on Michael from Good Times, that's back when light skinned brothers were in..lmao!

Late teens-early 20s. High school was  a trip...just hanging out. My best friend and I would hang around our bfs' (who were also best friends) job...shooting the **** until they got off, then party the night away.
Off to college...whoo-wee...non stop fun (so much that i got kicked out, TWICE!).
Moved to FL @ 21...great time with my girls there (like an extended family)--all raised our kids together, partied, loved, laughed, fought....just a great time until i got caught up in a man and bull****


Other than that, I enjoy my life now. There are more things i want to pursue, but im pretty happy with myself in general! I get to laugh a lot, realize the value of real friends more, and understand the rewards of being a good mother. I feel really good.

Here here my sistah.... I completely feel you on that 2nd paragraph... Life is cool now... I guess because we ACTUALLY get it now

hey hey ((((((((((((((((Lighthouse)))))))))))))))) girl folks trying to get me to ride out with em to your party! 

 

Please come!!! Pretty please with cherries on top.

Did you HAVE to ask???

My uncle had one of these and you couldn't tell us ****! He'd make us roll up the windows and then he'd FIRE IT UP! and let us smoke too. Whew lawd the memories.

These pics bring tears to my eyes.
 whew let me stop.

I always say that God knew right when to create me. 1964 was gearing up so when 1970 hit I was the tender age of 6. From the start I just knew that this was the time to be livin. There was nothing that I hated about the 70's and from childhood my plan was to wear a big afro, palaazo pants, and smoke once I got grown.

I am so glad that this new retro 70's stuff is popular because that is my wls goal incintive. I plan to be right in it once again no matter how damned silly I look.

Yessssssssssssssss you ain't neva lied!! That was my time too girl! 

Something very special about that time, very special... and why did my family have the 2 VW and one VW van....LMAOOOO

Did you have the record player/slash tape player with speakers in your room as well....LOL 

Nope we had a damned floor model counsel in our bedroom. You know the long thang with a television in the middle and stereo on the top. Those things had the best sound. I remember my parents playing the Temptations can't get next to you on that thang.

They had lots of parties and club meetings were they played Pokeno for money. They would cook up gumbo and other stuff and all of the southern neighbors would come and buy food. We had the clothes man who set up shop in the backyard, the watkins man, the ice cream cone man, the number man, the egg man, you name it we had it and I thought that we were rich.

Then out of the BLUE mama got SAVED and the good life came to an abrupt end.

I'll never forget the best day of my life at the age of 12 when one summer day my father called us from the park to come home. My sister and I get there and we see this grown lady with a huge afro and volkswagon bug standing next to him smiling. Girl I almost PEED when my father introduced her to us as OUR SISTER. I used to PRAY and ask God WHY all of my friends had grown sisters and I didn't. I felt that God had personally answered my prayer that day when the truth was...Linda was his illigitimate child who surprised him one day by coming to the house. My mama didn't even know about her. I never saw her again until after I was 18 and looked her up in the phonebook. To this day Linda and I are VERY close.

See you asked a simple question and I done just about took you through the whole decade.
