Do you remember when Eastern Airlines was Delta Airlines #1 competitor? Do you remember Eastern Airlines, Allegany Airlines, Pam American (not the movie) Airlines, or Braniff Airlines? |
Do remember when remote pertained to a location, and not something you held in your hand? Yes, I remember Braniff! Do you remember TWA? And the Concorde, we can't forget the penultimate glamorous Concorde!!??? |
A hoe (ho) was a garden tool and sick was bad, not good? |

Do you remember PEoples airlines? Do you remember when being a good pet parent meant taking your dog to the firehouse for a rabies shot? Do you remember when tv was free (not expensive cable) and every one had an antenna on their roof (or in their attic like we did) |
Remember when you could stay at the same job your whole working career? When you could leave the house and not have a phone and everything would be ok? Halloween costumes were homemade and didn't involve the word 'slutty'? School kids were allowed to play tag and hug each other? **SIGH** I'm only 36 and I miss the good ol' days! |
When we recited the "pledge to flag" each morning in school. When we had prayer in school. When children played outside catching lighting bugs, instead of playing video games. When people talked instead of text. When everyone went to Grandma's house for Sunday Dinner. When we went to the Saturday matinee for 25 cents. When a candy bar was a nickel and you could buy two pieces of candy for a penny. When we wore a penny in our loafers. When we used rollers, ratted our hair and sprayed heavy with aqua net. |
When payphones were on every corner When phones had rotary dials "Party lines" on your home phones Phones had long cords on them |
Do you remember People's Airlines roller skates with keys that fit on your shoes the paddle with the little red ball attached with a string Clackers Wooden spin tops with the string…you would throw it and it spun on the ground |
do you remember when the school dress code was for thegirls to wear dresses and they had to be at least knee lenght |
When cameras took film When computers were huge and heavy When a tablet was something you took notes in When you couldn't find a Walgreens on every corner |
Oh my so many flash backs of my childhood, from ass whoopins to catholic schools and everything in between. I remember when shorthand was something you learned in business class in high school not the way people use letters for short terms when texting> Like: (omg, smsh, roflmao, mos, ittul, brb) :confused: I remember when your parents lap was the safest place to be in the car. There were no seat belts nor did baby's have car seats. I remember when Thanksgiving was centered around Family and not Retail or Profit !! :( |
I remember Woolworth's Bamberger's A & S's Caldor Bradlees |
I remember when K-mart and walmart actually closed at 5:00 on Saturday and didn't open at all on Sunday. Motts 5 and dime. Carhops-not sonic ones either. Drive in movies (we still have one about an hour away) |
A quart of root beer cost a quarter at A&W. I never knew if I was asking for a "quart of root beer" or a "quarter root beer." McDonald's hamburgers were .20 Under the BIG M at McDonald's, it said "thousands and thousands served." Cheapest gas I ever bought was 23.9 cents |
do you remember when diaper's were cloth and you had to wash them. do you remember playing as a child with friend's and sibling's? Was no such thing as electronic's. Anne/Luci:p |
Do you remember... when being gay simply meant you were happy? playing on the playground was the best part of a drive-in movie? you could buy a piece of candy or bubblegum for :twocents:? you saved or searched for bottle caps to go to the movies? the family ate dinner together and you'd better be home at the appointed time? the only TV you had was black and white and was in the "family room"? |

This thread is bringing back so many memories..... keep them coming. |
Do you remember… 8-track tapes…I still have mine and the player connected to my stereo When your car radio was just AM frequency Televisions with dials and only 13 channels |
Do you remember Woolworths?! (loved going there for candy and cheap stuff!) Do you remember when your phone number was only FIVE digits? Mine was 4-8220 as a kid! Do you remember the dang cords on telephones? So annoying as a teenager when you need your privacy to discuss extremely important dramatic things! |

Milk Man used to deliver milk to your door Tickets to a Major League Baseball game -- under $3.50 Concert tickets were under $10 (I'm told Beatles tickets were $5.50, including tax, in 1965) |

Yep, only 13 channels but if you turned the inner dial you could get more. And when my dad would make us kids stand there and turn the dial until he found something worth watching. "back and forth and back in forth, waiting for commercials to end"...ugh !! Quote:
I also remember that those when we were kids my mom worked at the telephone co and could pop in on our extremely important dramatic things any time she wanted. So, frustrating. :confused: Quote:

Remember when there were no paper towels Remember when I saw my first microwave - it was huge. Remember the first telephone answering machines |
Do you remember when you played your first 45 record and had to put the little yellow plastic piece in the middle? you remember playing with a wooden doggie on a string that went clack clack across the floor? Do you remember when popcorn on a string was the garland on your Christmas tree? And oranges were the best thing in your stocking? |
