I Remember Game

[Wingy]

Those old TV's were built to last. I live in a house built in 1915, so I know exactly what you mean. Gotta love the floors and the woodwork though! You can still see the knobs from the old wiring all over the attic. Yes, I remember all the McDonald's characters.

 

Anyone still have their 8-tracks and 8-track player?

 

My father does and when ever I visit I pop in the Partridge Family 8 track.

And don't forget the green stamps!

[aerial.2000]

omg do you know HOW many of those as a kid I licked? LMAO books and books and books ... and did I mention BOOKS full? Gosh I dont even remember what my mother got with them I just remember filling the books.

[Timbersmom]

I don't remember what my mom got anyway, just that one of my jobs was to put the stamps in the book. Ha. Zoe, I don't know anything about Button Moon, but I never really watched a lot of TV so don't know if the show aired in the states or not!

I remember Eagle stamps, S&H stamps and the catalog to pick out what you wanted and going to the May Company to redeem them.

[Wingy]

Orange creamcicles, fudgecicles and banana pops and buckwheats cereal.

I remember when fast food was fast. Now you have to wait in line after you order it.

[Ray P]

Golden ager.

I remember when I knew more than my phone, And we used them to talk on.

[Brat Birds]

I remember when children in hospitals were in metal cribs and all were in wards - no single or double rooms, everyone was together. Sorry for the downer, but I was trying to think about what my earliest memories were. And one of the earliest was when I was in Kindergarten and had an eye surgery. I remember the cone and the smell of ether. And throwing it up when I woke up.

[Echo's Mom]

Golden ager! I remember when there was party lines.

 

OH BOY! That's mean's I'm a golden ager too!

[Greywings]

I remember when television was black and white and went off the air after 10:00 p.m..

[judygram]

I remember when television was black and white and went off the air after 10:00 p.m..

 

Jill, I remember that too and we had to get up to change the channels.

 

[Acappella]

I remember when VCRs had cords that ran from them to the "remote".

[katana600]

I remember when computers used punch cards and were as big as the room. I remember when we made errors in punching the cards. If it was repetitive, it was a happy day if we could add a "punchover" to fix it rather then redoing all of them.

I remember when all gas stations were full service.

I remember that in 1978, my dad always changed my oil! Nancy

[Asharion]

Spring Chicken here.

I remember when digital cameras were the big new thing in stores. At one of our family gatherings, I can still remember my grandpa using one of the print-out cameras to take photos, and his was the fanciest one there. Everyone else had rolls of film. I loved watching the photo appear!

I remember when you bought something from a catalog you filed out the order form and mailed it in with a money order and waited for ever for it to come.

 

P.S.

I just ordered something from a catalog on line paid for it on line and had it in four days.

I remember ordering sea monkeys out of the back of my comic books. I don't know what that makes me.

[SullysMom]

I remember finding my prizes inside the cereal box

[Inara]

I remember seeing the NBC peacock fan its tail in color -- it was a huge thrill on our first color TV. I remember when Captain Kirk would have rather slapped himself than ever have a Klingon on his Bridge. I remember how thrilled I was when I bought my first computer, a Commodore 64. And I remember the Internet before graphics, when it was all text-based and there was no spam and no advertising. Every email was a treat and much welcomed. Definitely miss *those* internet days!
