WIWAK "remote control channel changing" meant dad yelled "hey, change the damn channel" from his chair, and we did.

OMG I remember those! And they would take for freakin' ever to warm up.
And if you did it wrong, the dessert got burned.

WIWAK We had one phone in the house that hung between the dining and living rooms that had a coiled cord at least a mile long.

WIWAK If you wanted to watch some show on TV you actually had to watch it right when it aired. No VCR, TVio, YouTube, etc...

WIWAK we actually walked to and from school on our own. In fact the kids that got dropped off by their parents were teased.

WIWAK we used to entertain ourselves without the need for expensive electronic items - riding bikes, reading books, playing 'runout' or 'british bulldog' or 'knock down ginger', going for picnics or to the park, playing football or tennis in the street, playing with toys you could create things with, playing make believe, using our imaginations...
I miss those times!

Oh god yes, I remember this too! 10p to return a glass bottle and you used to get a whole bagful of sweets for that too!
. . . And from Ohio, NY was only 2 hours away with an 18 drinking age
NJ was literally right across the bridge - drinking age was 18.

When I was a kid I almost busted a window with a sling shot that was given to me but I hit the metal instead. I'm sure that window is still dented.

We have ten cent bottle deposit here. I actually hate it, returning cans and bottles is one of my least favorite things to do.
