Are you in agreement with the ban of smoking in cars with children?When I was a teenager in the 1960's it was cool to smoke, most everybody did it. I started when I lost my first baby at the age of 6 weeks and 4 days old. I was only eighteen and the sorrow was unbelievable, smoking was a comfort. Three years later, I had a baby girl who was born with a congenital clicking hip and was put into plaster casts for 14 months, each one successfully bigger as she grew. At the age of 21 months she finally was free of the casts and proceeded to learn to walk. 5 years after that, I had another daughter who was born intellectually disabled. By then we had emigrated to Australia. My daughters are now aged 51 years (she suffers severe back pain) and 46 (she is now in a wheelchair). I am now 72 and smoking is right for me.ViewDate:

MEMORIESDoes anyone remember the advertisement for "The Esso blee dooler". Should have been The Esso blue dealer. Also, what about the smurfs.ViewDate:

MEMORIESLena, thank you so very much for your reply and your message of sympathy. To me, it feels like the end of the world right now. We were very close and so I find myself with not too many friends to talk to. I was reading the Silversurfers topics and had to smile at most of them, I remembered them so well. I am in Australia now and have been for 45 years although originally from Liverpool, UK. I know all about ice on the insides of windows and toilets down the backyard. I even remember socks which could stand up by themselves as they were frozen solid. I sometimes write short stories and was thinking about putting them onto the Silversurfers but I am having a horrible time getting back to here, so I don't know if I can find the topic again. Will certainly keep looking, though. Many thanks again, Mary.ViewDate:

MEMORIESI had to smile at the price of your marriage licence. As I had been 'wild' and was pregnant, I had to marry by special licence. It cost 2 pounds 50 and my husband has always said that he hasn't had his moneys worth yet, even though we were married for 54 years. He passed away two months ago and I can't help wondering if he did get his money's worth. I miss him very much.
