Remember When

[~ Gig ~]

Remember "Mork and Mindy"

 

[Rich48]

Nan nu, nan nu

Nope!

 

[joyshirley]

How about ..... 'I Dream Of Genie'?


And then Larry Hagman, years later, in 'Dallas'? I never used to watch Dallas - I didn't really like it.

 

[aChristiancalledCameron]

Remember watching Roger Ramjet?

 

[joyshirley]

Yes, that rings a bell. Remember Mr Magoo? I wasn't very fond of him, I'm afraid!

 

[Rich48]

I never cared for him either.

Remember when there was ALWAYS a cartoon before the movie?

 

[joyshirley]

Yes. We used to have a cartoon or two, then a few ads ..... when they came on there would be a slight ripple of excitement as everyone knew it was nearly time for the movie to start!!

Remember the ice cream sellers who would move up and down the aisles in the intermission? Nowadays we have to join the throng out at the shop counters.

 

[Izzy23]

Speaking of ice cream. Remember how excited we use to get when we heard the ice cream truck coming down the street. Ahhhhh, to be young again.

 

[Cin]

Remember when you could call on the phone only using 5 numbers instead of 7?

5-5555
555-5555

 

[joyshirley]

Yes, I do.

Remember the phones where you dialled with your finger in the little hole? My kids think they're so cool, after being used to the modern phones.

 

[Rich48]

Actually, I remember when we had a 4 digit phone number (it was 7841).

Sure do remember the rotary phones, and party lines too!

Remember when you had ONE phone in the entire house?!

 

[joyshirley]

We've only just progressed from one phone as our daughters have just bought themselves a mobile phone each. Very handy they are, too, for keeping in touch where there's no phone available.

Remember when there were no Eftpos cards and you had to go to the bank to withdraw money from your account?

 

[Rich48]

Of course.

Do you remember home town banks-no national connections?

 

[isaiah5213]

yes. i remember the personally owned banks...

do you remember (i can't remember the name of the show) when bill cosby had a show where he was a newspaper boy??? lol!

 

[Rich48]

Sorry, don't remember that.

Do you remember when your paper was actually "rolled" and not rubber-banded?

 

[lisajane]

no i dont
do you remember when bank accounts were done in books and not cards in machines.

 

[Rich48]

Yes! Mine was a small, brown leather bound book with yellow pages

Do you remember the excitement of the county fairs?

 

[joyshirley]

Yes! Well, over here in NZ, we have the Winter and the Summer Shows. So exciting ..... loved the smells (hotdogs and candy floss), the tinny music and all the rides, especially The Hurricane!

Remember your very first scary ride? Mine was when my sister and I went on the Ghost Train when I was about 6.

 

[wslctrc]

No I don't

Do you remember when seat belts were not even installed?

 

[Rich48]

Yes. My first 2 cars did not have seat belts.

Do you remember your very first car? Mine was a '53 Buick-was 13 years old then!
