Remember when?

Remember when you did something wrong and you got a spanking and it was never considered "child abuse".

Remember when you didn't dare talk back to your parents.

Remember when you got a big refrigerator box and turned it into a play house.

I was always in trouble as a kid, I mostly remember the switch and the belt, but the worst was the razor strap. I will never, ever forget the razor strap. I think I still have pieces of my butt missing from the razor strap. Cars with pointy fins. Cars that were every day and weighed more than most trucks do today. Buying rolls of caps and making homemade bombs in tin foil and a hammer. One flavor bubble gum. Ne-hi grape and orange soda. Being surrounded by orange groves(Southern California) and getting into orange fights with the kids from across the tracks and then eating the ammo. Being chased through the orange groves by the grower Mr. Crawford. The end of the Korean War and the start of the Viet Nam war. Real tinsel on Christmas trees and we didn't burn down the house. Hedges around the walkway to the front porch. Playing war in the fields surrounding the house after they chopped down all the orange groves. Super Chief trains that ran right behind the house with no sound barriers to keep from hearing their horns. 5 and 10 stores all over. Soda fountains that made the best shakes and malts in the world with real ice cream. Whitman's Samplers for Valentine's Day for your Mom and you always fought over the Chocolate covered cherry when she offered us one.

Mom was always there.

Playing outside even after dark and under the streetlight.

Playing outside all day and only coming home to eat and sleep.

Playing my records over and over to learn the words perfectly.

Sleeping on the front porch because it was too hot upstairs.

The whole block including everyones yards was our playground.

Walking 3 blocks to downtown to buy a gallon of milk for 40 cents.

Went to "town" once a week for groceries.

Gave May baskets to our friends.

Building snow forts for snowball fights with the neighborhood kids.

Running down the alley with my friend to get away from my little brother.

Picking up pop bottles along the streets to get enough refund money to get a new bottle of pop.

Hi there,

Millions of people all over the world are affected by hair loss, and it's not only the males that suffer this condition as even females are affected by this problem. What's sad is that many of the individuals affected by such a condition end up just accepting what is happening to their hair due to lack of information or options.

Have a nice day

Boy, does this bring back memories!

How about nickel ice cream cones?

The "Shadow" on Sunday afternoon radio?

Girls wore dresses to school instead of slacks, jeans, or shorts?

The Good Humor Man every summer afternoon?

"The Eyes and Ears of The World" at the movie theaters? Plus the coming attractions, and two movies? (at 19 cents) Saturday afternoon

And the giveaways at the movies?

We used to make what we called "gigs" out of an orange crate and two axles with wheels--and then go down the steepest hill we could find.

After dark playing outside, hide and seek, jump rope, and marbles under the streetlight.

Ahhh, the good old days......

when 45's & LP came out

when you had a baby you stayed in hospital 7 days if everything was ok

the rumble seat in Dads new car

getting up before school and picking strawberrys for the fruit stand and eating all you wanted

cutting my hair short in a DA

getting new skates

rolling cigaretts every night for my Dad to get money to go Bowling on Sat morning

and so many things the children of today will never be able to do.

the 'duck and cover' drills in school...like a flamable desk top is going to work. Arlington VA during the Cuban missle crisis

making sling-shots, running back to the oak tree for more ammo. Acorns were perfect.

cleaning off the runners of the 'American Flyer' sled during the first sign of snow.

You didn't have to lock your bike up at school.

after a long hot summer you looked foward to fall....you could burn leaves in the back yard.

before the term politically correct was coined...we just used common sense between right and wrong !

I remember all that, -- going to church on Sundays, Sunday dinner, visiting with relatives, picnics in the parks, playing in the creek, staying out and playing until dark ( and no one worried about us) father knows best, Ozzie Nelson shows. black & white t.v. , home made ice cream, the county fairs, fourth of July celebrations the old record player with the vinyl records , when you got to energertic danceing the records would skip. Playing ball, hiding n seek, tag, marbles, jacks , jump rope, hula hoops , and pop beads for a few.

Remember big pointy brassieres

Big hair

Tree houses

Men wore suits more often

Women wore hats more

The Edd Sullivan Show

penny candy

Ice cream men on 3 wheel bikes with a big steel Ice chest on it

Milk and bread delivered to your home

Me kissing you on the Veranda "good times "

Remember when the man came down the street yelling "rags, old iron"?

Remember the ice man delivering big blocks of ice for the ice box?

Remember when TV screens were round?

Remember when kids were free to roam all day?

Remember when there were penny candy stores, soda fountains, and corner grocery stores that used long handled pinchers to retrieve grocery items from top shelves?

Bread was 10¢ a loaf

Coca Cola was 6¢ a bottle (and it was ice cold)

Movies were 25¢ for two, sometimes 3 movies (Sat. Matinees)

Strawberry Twizzlers 2¢

Bus Fare was 10 tickets for a $1.00

Chocolate bars were 5¢

The list goes on and on.........
