Historian Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I do not know number 20. The rest i knew. 16 brought a smile to me. I miss some Lucky's. Back in the 1940s pack went from the traditional white to green. That was when, "Lucky, went green," as they said back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) 6 hours ago, Historian said: They were good sticks too. They were "toasted." Around 1956 a friend of mine was digging through a closet at his house and came across his fathers WWII Jacket. In the pocket was an unopened pack of Camels from the end of the war. I lit one up and it burned like a fast fuse it was so dry. I have never smoked a Cigarette that was stronger in my life. And during my time in the Mediterranean, I bought different brands of European cigarettes, including some of the highest priced ones available in the best hotel in Beirut. They had Gold tips! Without exception, every one tasted and smelled like you were smoking prairie grass. They were all disgusting. No wonder European women back then would spend the whole weekend with you for a carton of American Cigarettes.

janice6 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) I'm watching my wife progressively forgetting. It's hard but I can do nothing to stop it. I have found that a bizarre thing I'm doing has resulted in my memory getting better than it ever has been. I try to get my wife to do it, but she doesn't see it as a priority. I found what is amazing to me, that I am able to think of two totally different things at once without a conflict in manual dexterity. I am just learning that having a right and left brain means they can work independently at the same time. Learning is wonderful, don't stop.
