yep, 25/25.  home phone was northfield2-4113.  We got out straws from the Dairy Queen or the soda fountain at Pickard & Huggins drug store, and the peas out of the cupboard.  Never did care for pea soup after all the ones I swallowed!!!!

A REAL icebox, I've seen them but never had one in my house  ::) If you had a real icebox can you still hold up your VTX or do you have training wheels.  ;D

Life is too short for drama or petty things, so laugh hard, love truly and forgive quickly. Live While You Are Alive. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.
