I’m so old I remember…

I do the same lol

I think, like, how does one not at least try? It is like magic. Just blow, and sometimes, everything will go how you wanted. From tech to gambling, and all sorts of in between, blowing has long been a way to influence fate's favor. #TeamBlowing-AlwaysWorthaTry

Our first time seeing color on TV was sliding a piece of glass in front of the black and white screen

You drive the right interstates. That’s still there.

This was a much more conservative time and you had to ask the attendant for a key to the outside restroom.

Well we played road hockey all day and yelled car many times. When called in for dinner learned there was no last goal wins as we were taught respect if someone cooks you best get in while its hot. Learned to dodge the hockey stick. Be in when the street lights came on then go in yards only to play red rover red rover. One last thing. Got the strap in grade 3 with a friend and yes we deserved it but it wasn’t the strap that worried me it was my mom when i got home and how mad at me she going to be. In those days you took responsibility for your actions and wasn’t a thought of suing the school. And no never did what we did again.

GOOD Saturday morning cartoons...

Or maybe I thought they were good because I was under 6 at the time...

 

[Bry1313]

Don't even get me started on that!

I remember sending texts to friends that just said

“10 cents”

And nothing else.

ISOIR "TV pliers". Those knobs always broke off eventually and no one replaced a perfectly good tv just for a broken knob, so TVs often had channel changing pliers, like car window pliers. On that note, ISOIR roll down windows and associated pliers. Yeah, maybe the pliers part is just old and broke people.

ISOIR getting of the school bus everyday, going to the corner store, and penny candy was like 5 fish for a penny. For just a quarter we could all be bouncing off the walls.

sorry lol. Oh god, now I am trying to picture my kid trying to use TV pliers to tune to one of 3 channels on a black and white TV. He bitches at the TV for having to click a button to skip an ad.

ISOIR when you were able to go out ALL day long, without saying where specifically, with the expectation that your ass was home when the street lights came on.

My first cell phone came with a job and I remember the boss talking fast so he could say everything before being charged for the next minute.

 

[AlexBailey]

Sounds like he had razor thin profit margins

Lol, actually I think the phones came with 200 minutes per month and and cost $3/minute after…AND he was really cheap.
