I remember ALL those things!
I learned to drive in a Packard and remember dating in a Studebaker......and a Nash....before I even put pennies in the slots of my "weejun" loafers, LOL
But, darn, I AM NOT older than dirt even though I passed the half-century mark ages ago, saw my mother's face looking back at me before my last child was born, and still can't speak techie...
WHY do printers ask if you want "landscape or portrait"??? Lansdscape is what's outside my window and portrait is what hangs over the fireplace mantel, what do THEY have to do with printing a document?? Up or sideways, big choice. :lol:

I am lol at all these memories I forgot about. Man, the winger washer and then we had to hang them on the clothes line outside. In school, the girls could only wear skirts or a dress, pants were not allowed, only blue jeans during physical ed and the boys HAD to wear some form of tie, bow-tie, string-tie etc. We had a man selling fish from a open truck filled with chipped ice blocks. Oh yeah, there was the watermelon man, we had allies in the back of our houses and he'll drive though the ally "singing" Come get your cold watermelon, I got ice cold watermelon. He would also cut a triangle and let you taste it.

Were your ears burning about an hour ago? Your name came up with your funnies with a few quilters at our group. Keep it up.

LOL... I'm not that dusty but can remember most of these things from childhood, at different familys homes, including the auntie that didn't get an inside bathroom till the 80's, no we didn't spend much time there past a couple of hours (sure you can imagine why) Sad what all younger are missing !! :)

Older than dirt here. How about hula-hoops and reel-to-reel tape recorders and having music classes and art classes in public schools and a school nurse on duty all the time? How fortunate our generation has been. I feel sorry for the kids growing up today.

Guess I'm older than dirt too, although I don't feel like it (most days, haha). I remembered most all of them. Things sure have changed. I like the improvements in the "things" we use, but sure lament the changes in values and integrity and parenting, none of which are for the better. I'm tired of seeing everyone's underwear!
