I loved listening to my Shaun Cassidy album on it. Actually the 8-track was a part of a whole stereo that on top had a disco ball with different color lights I could turn on to make awesome sparkles across my darkened room. Damn, I miss that thing.earthchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447310443886956100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17351693.post-87365589472710990252009-02-16T13:04:00.000-05:002009-02-16T13:04:00.000-05:00Love the hat!I would have totally done the same th...Love the hat!<BR/>I would have totally done the same thing, and look, you walked away with yarn.

Loved wearing that hat but it covered up my Dorothy Hamill haircut. I drank a lot of Shasta in the 70s.

I once got stuck in the bathroom before I realized I just had to push the door really hard. I may have banged on the door and yelled for help. I've accidentally made yarn fall to the floor many, many times. And yes, I may have purchased yarn to hide my embarrassment. That's normal, right?
