Remember When (2)

[thunderlove]

When we went to Portland's Museum of Science & Industry my younger brother pointed out that some of the toys I had played with as a young child were now displayed in a museum... Ouch

OMSI I haven't been there since.... Those toys were probably brand new!


Remember when 25 was old, and 35 was ancient?

 

[Rich48]

Sure do! Guess I am now older than dirt!

Remember when we put baseball cards into the spokes of our bikes? Oh-to have those Mickey Mantle cards back!

For those of us who remember the 60's, remember when:

Remember when summer meant running barefoot around the backyard in the evening catching lightning bugs?

Remember when everybody had manners?

Remember when everybody had manners?

LOL--try working in retail today and anyone would quickly learn that so many don't have them anymore! Try waiting on a customer while they won't put the stupid cell phone down long enough for you to help them!

Remember when we had the run of the neighborhood after dark?

Remember when no one had airconditioning...not in either car nor home?

My Mom's Parents..

I sure do. By the way--heh heh--if you are driving, and in a line of slow moving traffic--chances are that the lead car is driven by an elderly man wearing a hat! Don't believe--just check it out. Heard that on the radio some years back--and it is so true!

Remember when you could get more that one piece of candy for your penny?

Good grief, Charlie Brown, YES!!! Loved it Hi Supermoderator!

 

[Rich48]

Good grief, Charlie Brown, YES!!! Loved it Hi Supermoderator!

So much fun! And we had to remember to punch holes in the lids to the jars so that those silly bugs lived long enough for us to let them go!

 

[brinny]

You bet'cha! I couldn't bear for them to die so I usually let them go after a while....

Guess what I saw on the internet? Ligh'nin' bug lamps!!! Can you believe it?

 

[StarryEyes]

I dunno what that is

Are light brights still around? Those were fun!

 

[Rich48]

Do you remember being able to play hide and go seek AFTER dark?? We played it with a flashlight and called it "Magnetic Eye"!

 

[brinny]

Ahahaha! Don't remember that one but I sho' did play hide n' seek, barefoot, runnin' through the grass...and the whole neighborhood was our yard

Remember being allowed to stay up late and catch fireflies in the dark?
