Re: I Remember When....

I remember...

When I saw one of the first consumer desktop LED calculators.

Reel-to-reel hi-fi was the shiznit.

My dad gave me 25 cents and told me to walk to the service station to fill up the gallon gas can for the mower and I had enough left for a handful of Bazooka bubble gum.

No one pumped their own gas unless you knew someone there and they let you.

A '72 Les Paul was $300.

LMAO!!!  I'm a Jersey Girl.  I'm 34 years old, I've been driving since I was 17, although not so much the last couple of years, and I have never once, in my life, pumped my own gas.  I don't even know how Embarassed

It's law here, too.  NJ and OR are the only 2 states in the US that forbid self service, although I've never once heard a reasonable explanation for it.

Re: I Remember When....

i remember when ice cream trucks/vans were safe (didn't cell drugs or smokes to kids)! on the weekends and during summer, the ice cream van would circle in and out of our neighborhood playing their carnival like music and we would chase it until the driver would stop. bullets, push-ups, snow cones, banana fudge cycle, any kind you could imagine... 5 cents to 25 cents.

I can remember as a kid, you could leave your house in the morning, play all day, and not return home until it was DARK...unsupervised, and no one worried about you.

I remember playing MegaMan, CastleVania, and Zelda on Nintendo.

I remember the ORIGINAL Power Rangers.

I remember getting the first Furby generation, and the original Game Boy... 

I also remember when Saturday Morning Cartoons were GOOD

LOL! We were cleaning out our closet at work, and there were a couple of pagers and I told my co-worker that I remembered when that was the in-thing in high school. I had one, but my sister used it more than I did so that her boyfriend could reach her. Nowadays, I don't know who even has one!
