Cheech and Chong (Sister Mary Elephant), Mel Brooks movies, an outside area at high school where we could go smoke cigarettes legally at age 16, "feathered" hair, maxi skirts, peasant blouses, denim overalls made just for girls (which we called bib overalls, or just plain "bibs"), hip-huggers on one extreme and high-waisted jeans on the other, short shorts, halter tops, "The Brady Bunch", David Cassidy, The Monkees...
Hope to get to know each of you better. In the meantime, thanks for making me feel better while I'm down with the flu.
Squirrel, hope your illness is short-lived.

I would say that it got bad in the 80s, rebounded in the early 90s, was up and down for the early part of the 2000s but for the last 6 or 7 years has been very good.
