I'm so old I remember...

A guy named Bruce Jenner on my box of Wheaties.

A guy named John Belushi says hai.

Looks like a trash can

With a gas pilot that ignited the trash and turned it to ash.

I remember my first grade class (lived at ground zero, the DC suburbs) our duck and cover location was outside, up against a block retaining wall....that made no sense to me, even at 6 or 7.

It was flash/heat protection. Based on survivor locations from Nagasaki/Hiroshima.

Mediocre protection even if you were facing the right way from the blast(s).

@Anastasia1999 Do you remember this? The best German entry of all time. Period!

I used to sing it a lot, back then.

Ein bisschen Frieden, ein bisschen Sonne
Für diese Erde, auf der wir wohnen.
Ein bisschen Frieden, ein bisschen Freude,
Ein bisschen Wärme, das wünsch' ich mir.

I do! I love it too. I wish Putin would listen to the lyrics and put down his weapons

I’m so old I remember Anastasia doing her fav party trick, putting a three inch bit of string in her mouth and bringing it out with a knot in it, and she could suck a golf ball up a hosepipe

When Billy Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge. I think he may have been a lineman for the county.

Oh my god. My parents hated these things so much. Looking at them now as a parent myself, I think I can see why!

I am so loving this because back then we'd have to come up with something witty (and hardly ever did I manage to) just to express the different degrees of appreciation

Calling someone on a landline, sitting next to the phone. While your parents listened to your entire conversation.

I took my grand daughter thrift store shopping day before yesterday. She saw a landline phone that hung on the wall and said “ I wonder what it was like to use this “ Then she said “ Papa U should buy this to put in the guest bathroom at your house , it will make a great prop ! I was so proud of her using the word “ prop “ . We have a guest bathroom with an old TGI Friday vibe with its decor. Plenty of stuff to look at while you are ……..sitting !
