Party lines (4) on our phone,
10 minute limit on phone use because my Dad was fire chief and had to have access to the phone in case of fire, even though we could hear the siren from our house.
Ugly green gym outfit,
Dresses to school although they were short and shorter, then longer
b/w TV and only three channels and ALWAYS having something to watch
Three pair of shoes - school, gym sneakers, and church shoes.

Cartoons were only on Saturdays, and only on util 12 noon. My youngest DD just could not imagine how I managed!! I still remember the look of horror on her little face. LOL!!
Manual typewriters were what I learned to type on. And if you made a mistake, it was a pain to fix.

Playing outside for hours by yourself with not a toy of any kind in sight...and being happy doing it?
When if you got in trouble at school, the principal was within his rights to paddle your bottom, and then you got it again when you got home! Same thing applied to the neighbors...(Isn't it amazing that we not only survived "being hit!" by the adults in our lives, but we actually came out of it being relatively productive adults?)
Ah....the days...sure do miss them!

Do you remember the plastic film with a rainbow of colors that went on top of the TV screen. You had color TV but the face might be blue or red depending on where on the screen the face and color were. Did I explain that correctly????????????
