Remember When

[joyshirley]

Remember when your photos were developed as black and white only, not colour?

 

[Rich48]

Yes, and you had to wait forever to get them back!

Remember Kodak Brownie cameras?

 

[joyshirley]

I think so ... at any rate, I had a little grey camera that took B&W photos and it was wonderful! Now, of course, I'd love to own a digital camera.

Remember school camps? (Not my favourite memory!)

 

[Rich48]

Nope-never got to go to any camp.

Remember running after the ice cream truck? We still have them around here, but it's not the same-all pre-packaged junk-and not the real thing we used to get!

 

[brinny]

hahaha yes....we'd run and say "Waaaait a minute!"

Do you remember when everybody in the neighborhood sat out on their porches at night and all the kids played together like one big happy family and chased light'ning bugs?

 

[Hermit]

No.

Remember when life was simple?

 

[brinny]

yes

remember when you got a popsicle and shared half with yer best friend?

 

[AdJesumPerMariam]

awwww...we still have the kids share!

Remember when you first flew on a plane?

 

[schwarzes_schaf]

nope. 'cause i was 2.

remember getting your first A in school

 

[AdJesumPerMariam]

Yep!
Remember getting your first F?

 

[Rich48]

You mean the one I crumbled up and flushed down the toilet? Yes!

Do you remember extended recess?

 

[AdJesumPerMariam]

Of course!!!
I don't think they give kids enough recess now...which makes them a little hyper

Remember when Christmas stuff didn't come out until AFTER Thanksgiving?

 

[joyshirley]

Yes, I do.

Remember the excitement of going into town in the last week before Christmas with your saved up pocket money safely in your wallet, and taking hours to choose the little gifts you wanted to buy for your family and friends? (Course, it took me so long because I loved the whole atmosphere of excitement, the coloured lights decorating every store and the anticipation of giving out the gifts on Christmas Day.)

 

[EmSchmem]

1908, and don't bash my Cubbies!

I have a theory about baseball. If a team doesn't win a Wolrd Series at least once every 100 years they should be disbanded and the players redistributed among all the other teams (based on need not on the ability of the Yankees to buy them). Then there would be no bashing to be had!

Joyshirley,
Remember the excitement of going into town in the last week before Christmas with your saved up pocket money safely in your wallet, and taking hours to choose the little gifts you wanted to buy for your family and friends? (Course, it took me so long because I loved the whole atmosphere of excitement, the coloured lights decorating every store and the anticipation of giving out the gifts on Christmas Day.)

Yep, sure do. It was still commercialized, but not anywhere near as bad as today. And I think we already have a few Christmas things out along with the Halloween stuff already...

Remember when school didn't start till AFTER Labor day, every year? When did that change btw?

 

[Rich48]

Remember when school didn't start till AFTER Labor day, every year? When did that change btw?

Yup. We NEVER went back before Labor Day, and were always out by the end of May! It changed when Christmas and Easter vacations were made longer, and teachers were given more in service days.

Remember when we could sing carols in school?

 

[G4M5Y5]

Umm...No.

Remember when you could wake up in the morning and not have to motivate yourself to crawl out of bed?

 

[joyshirley]

Remember when we could sing carols in school?

Yes, at primary school we used to have a Christmas show for our parents every year. I remember our choir teacher was always telling us to go cleanly from a low note to a high note, and not to sliiiiide up to the note! I love choir singing!

 

[joyshirley]

Yes, if I delve deeply into my memory! I've been a night owl for most of my life, but I can get up early if I have to.


Remember when your current age seemed ancient to you, when you were a child?

 

[Kathy]

Remember when small groups of Christmas carolers would come to your door and sing Christmas carols...I miss that...least in my part of Connecticut they don't do that any longer...
