1. Are you talking about the rug burn kind?

Might have.

[Bluzmann57]

2. Mother Nature's carpet

Poison ivy. Itchy... never mind

3. WE had shag carpets.

We also had a couple of foster kids at the time. One of their chores was to rake the carpet with a little plastic rake. They still talk about it.

5. My post is about carpets this post is about

Shagging on carpets I think.

10. We HAVE shag carpet...

...nasty orange and yellow and some-color-in-between. Thankfully the majority of it is covered by furniture: downstairs office. It's my workspace for drafting, archietctural model building, and computer stuff. My stepdad uses half for maintaining his guns.

Did I mention its nasty colors? :puke:

28. My folks have the same carpet their spare room...

4. I was four when the seventies ended.

So, no.

6. Yup

wow, bad rug burn.

[put out]

9. Yeah, all that coarse yarn

and try explaining it to your parents when you're picking it out of your hair. And, in the summer, the walking around backward for a week to conceal suspicious abrasions. Them were the days.

12. Or get out?

.

[put out]

19. How dare you!

It's polite language for "p*issed off". I never even considered alternative meanings (snort).

[Holly]

14. the ones

in the middle of the back hurt the worse.

[put out]

21. A series of rug burns about 1 1/2 inches apart.

Pretty hard to explain ("I fell down the steps. Or else I got too vigorous with the loofah. Or the cat did it"). I think when I get old(er) I'm going to have that tattooed on my back.

edit, misspelling and had to remove all cleverness.

[madrchsod]

13. i confess

gold shag and a couch... and fold down front seats. seems like along time ago....

15. Had a house in the Hollywood Hills in the 60s. It had incredibly deep

green and purple shag in the living room. I was told by one of my roomies that several months after I moved out, one of my old girlfriends wandered out of the carpet with a dog we thought had run away, two stray cats, and a family of migrant workers.

[ohiosmith]

18. No, but I gave it.

20. Explain that to your mom

When you were wearing your baby doll Jammie's.

[ohiosmith]

22. I guess it would be right up there with trying to explain a

"purple Herman" to your mom.

[Lostmessage]

25. What's that?

Explain that to me I was my Mom's baby doll innocent child.

[put out]

24. Yes, experimenting with Nair. Borrowed a dull razor.

I am allergic to the new soap. There's color and perfume on the toilet paper. Ask me for any excuse to cover a suspicious injury. Got a million of them.

23. Noxema was doing good business back in those days

Your parents would always wonder why you used all of the Noxema.

[ohiosmith]

26. Didn't it burn like hell? Oh........never mind.

[Lostmessage]

27. LOL

You had to avoid all cracks if you know what I mean.

[ohiosmith]

29. I do.

30. We don't want to go into Vaseline do we

I had a friend who use to style her hair with KY jelly during the punk years.

[put out]

31. Maybe she started when her mom found it in her room.

"No, Mom! It's a styling aid! See, you use it like this." Perfectly innocent.

[Lostmessage]

32. I don't remember my Mom my finding it on her

My Mom kind of adopted her when she was 15 and she lived with us until she was 21. That would have been a good excuse but I don't think my Mom would have known what it was.

[ohiosmith]

33. KY and Vaseline were a bitch to get out of shag. The affected areas

were a dead giveaway as to what happened there.

[Lostmessage]

34. I was talking about the areas

That were burned it was nice and soothing and it helped take the red bumps away.

[ohiosmith]

35. Interesting. Multiple uses.

[Lostmessage]

36. They helped with the carpet bruise marks as well

:evilgrin:

[ohiosmith]

37. Would've been nice on knees and elbows I bet.

38. Knees and elbows?

I am a girl but you never know I might have gotten them on the knees and elbows.
