Always thought Frida was the cuter of the two women.

Interestingly, she isn't Swedish. She's half-Norwegian/half-German, her father was a Wehrmacht soldier stationed in Norway during the war, and she fled to Sweden after the war, because offspring of German soldiers weren't going to be treated very well in Norway.

If you weren’t quite so married, and if I thought I had the slightest chance of keeping up with you, I’d consider it!

Minor correction....it’s spelled Mae West, not May West.

I despised ABBA back then. But today I like their happy calming music from a time when we were more culturally conservative. When we would have never elected a jug eared Muslim and gay marriage was inconceivable. The rot has been tremendous since ABBA’s heyday

True enough.

She probably would have answered you: "Call me anything you like but don't call me late for dinner!"

When all is said and done, that’s the name of the game.

It’s all in the margins. The strange clothes cost a certain amount more than normal clothes. The reduction in tax due is either more or less than the difference in cost.

I you remember the 70s, you weren’t there.

I started checking it out in '74 but didn't officially check out until '80.

When the girls came out of hiding and went in search of the tribe, they came upon an injured wolf. After nursing the wolf back to health, they became adopted by the entire pack of wolves, who saved them from danger many times, as the girls continued their search for the rest of their tribe.
