No problem, let me explain. Back in '65, pads were mostly for crashing
and for "making it". They all had pretty much the same decor; lava lamps,
love beads and various black light posters. There was usually TAB in the
fridge and most of the food would be gone cause just about everyone had
the munchies for some reason. Oh, and every third word was "man", "heavy"
or "groovy"...

Now, in the 80's pads were pretty much full of hair spray and curling
irons (remember hair bands?) so you could stay there if you didn't mind
the fumes. The decor would consist of posters of Def Leppard and the
occasional  A-Team or Dukes of Hazard bedspread. The fridge would have
Diet Coke and surprising amounts of food, but people seemed to be much
more paranoid and were always rubbing their noses and sniffling... Of
course, by now the language had like advanced so like about every other
word was like "like" with the occasional "you know" like thrown in, ya
know?. :)

No problem, I live to help. :D
