I really wasn't that pregnant. It was my first and I just felt that way. I had about four months to go, I think. That was 45 years ago. I can't remember 2 minutes ago very clearly.Deedleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17220174067034720943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-38061407052179727402021-06-22T14:34:42.141-04:002021-06-22T14:34:42.141-04:00My first office issued phone, weighed in at about ...My first office issued phone, weighed in at about 15 pounds, and the battery lasted about 3 hours.

We were heading to the Sunset Strip once with visiting friends, and got rear ended on the freeway. I was twelve months pregnant (It was summer, very hot, and I was huge) and scared the crap out of the folks that hit us when I got out. We turned around and went back to San Diego. I loathe L.A. traffic!Deedleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17220174067034720943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-49154088145400645722021-06-22T10:31:46.324-04:002021-06-22T10:31:46.324-04:00I love the term "Lavender Law," LOL!I love the term "Lavender Law," LOL!Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-49520834852187813732021-06-22T09:55:48.757-04:002021-06-22T09:55:48.757-04:00About 3 years ago, I stayed at a Kimpton hotel on ...About 3 years ago, I stayed at a Kimpton hotel on Wilshire Blvd. and visited the Getty Museum and LACMA and hung out on the edge of Beverly Hills.

We had a neighbor (argh, so many starlets and Hollywood types... Chuck Woolery lived there) ... anyway, the neighbor would sit by the pool with a huge attache case that contain a huge phone. He loved to show off. But we were in LA a lot in later years -- long after the advent of smart phones.
