That would be a violation of the rules. The judges used up the one shot

When I started shaving you could get shaving cream in a can but the
brush soap and mugs were still in use. Gillette Super Blue blades had
recently come out. Deodorant was a roller ball. Brylcream, Wildroot
Cream Oil and Vitalis kept our hair in place too.

Remember the many ads for dandruff shampoo back in the day? There were
many, it's like dandruff was this terrible national disease or something.
Old LIFE magazines from the 40's - 50's TONS of these ads, same later with

Laxative ads, REALLY big back in the 40's. I listen to old time radio
shows, and the early 40's Tommy Dorsey Radio Show that starred a young Frank
Sinatra, that was sponsored by a laxative company - and this was a pop music
show for a young audience, very big in the day...guess we have better diets

Nancy, I was watching an old "To Tell The Truth" episode from early 1962* on
some sub-channel, these are fun to watch because the have the original ads.
There was one for Easy - Off, and back then it was apparently not a spray,
but you *brushed* it on! Came in a glass jar with a small brush, did not
look much larger than a pastry brush. The housewife - in pearls and heels,
natch! - smilingly cleaned her oven, just in time for her Mad Men hubby's
arrival, the ad ended with her serving them a big steak dinner...

I mean, *brush - on*, geez...!!!

*The date was specific because at the end of the episode over the credits,
Walter Cronkite did a voice - over, inviting viewers to watch the launch of
"the first American to be launched into orbit", which was John Glenn on
February 20th, 1962. AND John Glenn just celebrated his 95th birthday, very
cool!

When I was a kid, they had commercials on TV and ads in magazines showing a
disgusted housewife, displaying the inside of her husband's dress shirt
collars with a disgusting stain on them that was referred to as that. I
can't remember what miracle product was purported to take care of this mess.
But I do remember time and again, checking my dad's shirts and finding no
such ring. And when I commented on it, my mom said it was because my dad
washed his neck.

I have actually never noticed such marks on anyone's collars so it makes me
wonder if this was just another faux problem that someone dreamed up.
Commercials are loaded with those things. The woman who accidentally dumps
all of her pasta in the sink. The man who can't get the fried egg out of his
skillet no matter what tool he uses. The person who slops the food all over,
trying to open the can. The women who feel embarrassed and not like
themselves because they sure they have feminine odor. Stuff like that.

Remember the many ads for dandruff shampoo back in the day? There were
many, it's like dandruff was this terrible national disease or something.
Old LIFE magazines from the 40's - 50's TONS of these ads, same later with
TV. Now you rarely see dandruff shampoo advertising. Maybe it's simply that
peeps simply bathe more and wash their hair more?

Laxative ads, REALLY big back in the 40's. I listen to old time radio
shows, and the early 40's Tommy Dorsey Radio Show that starred a young Frank
Sinatra, that was sponsored by a laxative company - and this was a pop music
show for a young audience, very big in the day...guess we have better diets
now or something.

---

I don't think shampoo such as we knew it today existed back in the 40's. I
recall reading about it coming in bar form and at least in some countries
such as Canada, it could be hard to come by. Most people washed their hair
with soap and that tends to make your hair sticky and leave a residue,
except perhaps for certain kinds like Castile or pure coconut oil soap.

People also used a lot of hair products that we tend not to now. Like
hairspray, Vitalis, Brylcreem and the like. Those probably left a residue as
well.

I think what we have available now to shampoo with can be more gentle and
effective and we had far more choices. Angela once had what appeared to be
dandruff but it turned out to be an allergic reaction to a shampoo I had
used on her. And following my foot operation, I had horribly flaky scalp.
Not sure what it was. Not dandruff but my hair and scalp were just horribly
dry. I tried product after product that had been recommended to me by
hairdressers. I finally hit on a coconut oil based shampoo and conditioner
and it stopped whatever it was right in its tracks.

I also remember the commercials for the heart break of psoriasis. Made it
seem like those of us who had it should be ashamed and never want to go out
in public.

But I think the worst of all were the ads aimed at females. Tried to make us
feel horrified and embarrassed about all sorts of things. Like a maxi pad
wrapper that might be heard by some woman in another stall. That one made me
laugh. Especially these days when some people are terrified of who might be
in the stall next to them.

The ones I can't stand are the late night ads with the horny guys and their
skanky women, talking about how the various products make them longer,
thicker, harder, last longer, etc. Some of those guys look especially
creepy.

I never used this but I remember seeing ads for some sort of pad with a
plastic handle on it. It was filled with cleaner and you somehow pierced it
to let the stuff out. I do know people who tried them and said they were
pretty worthless in terms of cleaning.

I used to get laughed at by coworkers because I insisted on AC in my car.
They kept telling me that I didn't need it. I beg to differ. I think I use
that more than I do heat. Even in the winter, when the sun comes through the
car windows, it can make the car uncomfortably warm inside. And I don't like
driving around with my windows down.

Thankfully, these days it's pretty hard to even buy a new car with no AC. At
least not a Ford. I was told it is standard now.

My two little fridges need defrosting. Actually, the smaller of the two
isn't bad at all. Rather than getting frost, it will occasionally get a
chunk of ice that forms in a little tray that came with it. The tray sits
under the tiny freezer section. I just take it to the sink to dump it or
grab a bucket and dump the ice in there.

The slightly larger one will get a frost buildup at the back but it's not a
big deal either because I hardly ever put food in it. The freezer
compartment is used for blue ice only and the fridge part for drinks. So I
can shut it off and leave the doors open for a few hours. No big deal.

My little upright freezer supposedly needs a manual defrost as well but I've
not noticed any frost in it yet.

I did do a great deal of hand wash when I lived above the dance studio. No
wringer washer. I use my big bathtub and a plunger that I purchased
specifically for that purpose. I did still go to the pay laundry a couple of
times a month because certain things like towels and socks came out better
when dried in a dryer.

I have decided that I really prefer hand washing dishes though. Might be
different if I had something like a countertop dishwasher. But it is just
too difficult for me to do all the stooping and bending needed to load and
unload the one that I have. Plus we all eat at different times now. Was
different when we all ate dinner at the same time but that rarely happens
now. So aside from when I initially cook/prepare something, few things get
dirty at one time.

I remember when antiperspirant came out. Used to just be deodorant and I
think it was just liquid or cream. I don't know what men did, but women wore
these hideous pads that strapped on to cover the underarms. They absorbed
the sweat and prevented stains.

My mom bought me some cheap product when I was in Jr. High that said it
checked wetness. Our school colors were orange, blue and white and we were
asked to wear those on Fridays. My mom bought me a white turtleneck sweater
and an orange polyester blazer. We all wore jeans so there was my blue.

I wore this outfit one Friday and we had dance lessons in gym class that
week. We did not change into our gym clothes and I did not think to take off
the blazer. Because it was polyester, my underarms sweated so much that I
got the dreaded stains.

I went home, held up the jar of cream to my mom and said, "It checked the
wetness all right! And it was there!" I presume that the maker meant that by
"checked", it stopped it but this certainly did not. The brand was Tussy.
Not sure if that is made any more.

This was my mom's introduction to antiperspirants. She just used the pads.
We went back to the store and began reading labels. We learned that there is
a big difference between products.

I was also stunned into silence. I'm usually bored with singers. I
didn't even pay attention to the lyrics so I have no idea what he sang

and end was amazing. The crescendo in the middle of song worked very

seen in all their years of the show.

I'm just wondering though. He'll be back for the finals. How in the
world will he ever top that performance?

Those Argentinian dancers kicked ass too that night. It became very
intense. That was my other favorite of the night. They did an incredible
performance.

I also really like the comedian with black tape over his mouth. LOL! He
won't win the final competition but he's pretty damn funny to me. :-D

He's a great looking guy, too. So cute to see his mom beaming

He's funny, for sure. I really didn't think he'd have a good
enough second act, but he did.

Ok Nancy. WTH? I don't get your joke. If I knew the lyrics, maybe I
would. If you don't tell me, I can find it later today. I'm not ***, I
prefer ferrets. LOL!

Years ago, the song Desperado was popular for awhile. I forget who sang
it now (I've got the album somewhere on the shelf). Those lyrics
described me perfectly at the time. This was after my divorce and
dating every hot girl I could get my hands on at the time. When I
finally listened to all the lyrics, I was stunned. That song was all
about me.

Key phrase in song: "You better let somebody love you before it's too
late"

OK then.... it's too late now. I passed up some good keeper women and
now I'm old and worthless too. oh well.

Just give me a couple of new ferrets and I'll be happy.

I think shampoo has improved to the point that it doesn't leave a
white residue or dry our scalp out anymore.

Linda Ronstadt and The Eagles both had hits with Desperado, and the name of
the song that Brian sang on AGT was "Creep" Google the lyrics.

Because the name of the song is Creep.

Sometimes you see yourself in a song or something and that can
be interesting.

Never too late, though I do understand the lyrics.

I hope someone does. I know you're holding off on that.

Thanks for the reminder, Cheri. The Eagles song is what I was talking

It was real. In the 50's or so people did not shower as often as we do
today, hair cream was more common, detergents and washing machines not
as good.

Most of the other situations you described not so much.

Ever look at old photos from the 30's & 40's and notice all those
doilies on the backs of chairs and sofas? That was to absorb all
that nasty, greasy hair cream men used to apply to tame their locks.

Your co-workers are either nuts, cheap, or both. First car I had with
AC was a '68 Olds Vista Cruiser I bought about 1972. I'd never consider
a car without it. I don't know of any that don't have it as standard
these days but some entry level one may not.

Rae I put the windows down too. When I was much younger I had a couple
of convertibles, little desire today. Maybe 5 days out of the year ir
would be fun, not today at 95 degrees in the hot sun.

I don't like airco and my car doesn't have it. I'd rather open the
windows. Before you know it, you'll also want a bum warmer and it's all
downhill from there.

Nobody I know uses it anymore, but I still love the smell of Brylcreem.

I would not have a car without it since it's frequently over a hundred here
for several months out of the year.

You must live where there is no humidity and the temperature
is not in the upper 90's in the summer. I love that hot, nasty
air coming in the windows while driving down the interstate, NOT.
Besides, having the windows down, when driving on the interstate
creates drag and reduces gas mileage. If you don't drive on the
interstate then no problem.

Windows up generally blocks out that cRAP music that is blasted
by inconsiderate jerks.

So true, and nice to be cool while blocking them out too. It's a proven fact
that there's more road rage when it's hot, so maybe Bruce is one of those
cranky, hot, road ragers. ;-)

Yes, it looks like it is sold in quite a few places, I know the Hispanic men
use a lot of hair products as a rule, so possibly they are buying it these
days more than others.

It does get hot and humid where he is.

I sometimes find in winter that an air-con is the only way to defog
the car windscreen, there are times when the demister or even wiping
with a rag doesn't really work.

The climate's humid here and quite warm. It's mid winter now and it's an
unseasonable 99F today. But I prefer reality to airco.

Same here, but I just open one or two windows. I like hot weather.

I have a small jar of Tres Flores for those times when I want to feel like an old Filipino gent. On the mainland I'd feel like a cholo.
