Women in 1960 had no idea of the possible consequences of that drug, but why people today would willingly take certain meds, whose possible side effects far exceed the discomfort or health risk of the condition purported to be alleviated, escapes my understanding.<br /><br />I'm not gonna ask why you fell asleep <i>on your buddy's shoulder</i> at the drive-in movies.<br /><br />All of my high school drive-in visits were at the Century 4 in Grand Prairie (on the border with Arlington). A few times with my GF, once with my buddy (whose shoulder I did not fall asleep on, nor he on mine) who stowed away in the trunk of my Opel Manta after we'd purchased a bag full of Taco Bell Bellbeefers, once with several buddies in my dad's '68 Dodge PU with lawn chairs in the back, and a double date in my '68 Chrysler Newport. My friend and his GF had set me up with a blind date 'Cherylyn', and, I guess since it was my car, were accommodating enough to allow us the back seat. Before the movie, we listened to the just-released <i>Hotel California</i> on a cassette I'd recorded. Stuart and his girl were getting along nicely up front (very friendly, but nothing lewd). I desperately wanted to investigate the contents of Cherylyn's fuzzy pink sweater - but it was nothing doing.<br /><br />Just as well, she didn't even like the Eagles... an Donalbanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418506325893352676noreply@blogger.com
