I hope that your parents took lots of pictures of you with bad hair and yore britches hanging down below your butt to save for your future girlfriends and children.

I sure did!

edit: lol, it only gets better...

Looking thru these pictures I just realized I'm looking at the house we grew up in. Lost to a fire about 20 yr ago

That's so sad. There are so many physical memories attached to places.

I just found out that the buyers of my mother's house (bought last August) finally gave up and tore it down after finding too many insurmountable problems for a reno.

@hmanvolfan @theFallGuy and @ other Mempho posters, if you find yourself in East Mempho, between Mendenhall and Perkins, take a turn down Shady Grove Road and look on the south side for where there used to be a house. (Used to be the western corner of Shady Grove and Roane Road, but they closed off Roane in front of her house and created a cul-de-sac.)

Oh well. There is no point in excessive attachments to Things. Enjoy the memories, and move on.

That's why I enjoy pics. I wonder about the story behind them, weird I know, but I just do. That's why I like the graveyard walks. It's a VFW (veterans of foreign wars) cemetery. I'll wonder about their stories as we see tge names.

Either you were very canny, or your parents were very kind. ;-)

My mom has tons of ammo on me. She doesn't remember that it's there, but it's there.

The seventies marked a lot of changes. I remember when I found my dad's blow-dryer. He was a surgeon in the Army, and I'm pretty sure that he never had hair more than an inch and a half long, but he had a blow dryer. I had never encountered a male, or the depiction of such, who had a blow dryer, or any other type of grooming accessory thingy. Up until then, guys-with-blow-dryers were more in the John Travolta/ Saturday Night Fever vein. Which Daddy definitely was not, lol.

We once lived on Stone Road in South Knoxville, and I used to go walking in Woodlawn Cementery. There were so many markers for children who died before they were 2 or 3, long ago, probably from diphtheria or another of the epidemics that raged through back in the day. It was pretty heart-breaking, but gave a pretty good perspective too.
