I bought it in order to be able to finish reading the liner notes (poems) that began on the album cover and continued on an insert inside the shrink wrap. $2.69 plus tax.Don Coffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07198988872512792834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-14017605015234191422015-09-18T21:26:35.125-05:002015-09-18T21:26:35.125-05:00Personally, I like the idea of living on "Nor...Personally, I like the idea of living on "Normal Street."

It has been used daily ever since. It's where I deposit my wallet, keys and change. It sits on a shelf in the kitchen right next to the alligator savings bank which you kindly gave me at a B'Con long ago, which dines frequently on my excess change.<br />Art ScottAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-12028494852927900472015-09-18T20:30:39.215-05:002015-09-18T20:30:39.215-05:00Thanks, Ed.

Using someone else's comb is Cootieville and I'd never do it. I do have some items that are old, though. A Fuller brush I got in 1970, the pants I wore to see Woodstock--the movie--the same year. My first fanzine from 1969. <br /><br />Nothing from my youth.

We have a sofa and recliner that we got in 1987; they're about to be replaced.i also have some mixing bowls and utensils from the late 1970s/early 1980s. Nothing like your comb and backstory though.
