Ok, do you ever see an object, hear a word, smell an odor.........anything along this line and it brings back memories? I do. Every time I see Windex and think of the movie 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' and how the daddy thought Windex cold cure everything from a pimple to menopause. Remember (now you have to be my generation or older for this one) before they had copy machines, and they use to run the school papers/test off on those machines that they cranked by hand and the wonderful smell of the alcohol or whatever that chemical was that they used for the ink set..........oh man the lucky kid that got to go to the copy office to pick up the copies.......smelled those babies all the way back to class........it's a wonder the kid didn't pass out!!! I hear any song sung by the Mama and Papas and it takes me back to my college days when I was so in love with this young man...........oh it was a special time in my life. I look at Whoopie Goldberg and I just automatically see her in either Ghost or the scene in Jumping Jack Flash when her dress gets caught in the shredder.......man I am sitting here now doing the little giggle thing...........cracks me up!I have no idea what brought this all to mind..........did it awaken any memories for you?
