Do you remember...?

Buffy was reflecting on the demise of 45 rpm records. Bah! New technology. I still have some 78s somewhere - including one by Elvis.

 

[And while we are at it, what ever happened (in the U.K.) to ration cards?]

[TheBigDog]

Doors at a store that did not open automatically. Public toilets that did not flush automatically. Strange that the bathroom doors are never automatic...

...back when The Hoff was famous for driving a talking Trans-Am, instead of being surrounded by a bevy of half-naked bimbo lifesavers who seemed to be capable of only running in slow motion?

 

I have to say, when I was a kid, the talking Trans-Am was pretty cool. But then, as I got into my teens, the bimbo lifesavers was a lot cooler than a talking car.

 

Puberty. Hahahahahahaaaaa...

...when Crayola first came out with their 64-crayon box!

I remember when I was a kid, standing out front of the automatic doors, walking back and forth, back and forth, open... close... open... close... open... close.

 

Maybe it's a good thing they don't put 'em at the public restrooms. :hihi:

 

"Hey kid! Cut it out, will ya? I'm on the toilet over here!!" :rant:

 

Do you remember...?

Accompanying friends and loved ones all the way to the gate at the airport and waiting with them until their plane left.

Ridin' the elevators in the hospital, while Dad was visiting Mom.

How about FULL service gas station's, there was 1 for the tires, 1 to wash the windows, 1 to check the oil, 1 to pump gas, 1 to take the monies ( at 23 cents a gal.) you can trust your car the man that wares the star. :rant:

Aaaa! the good old days. :hihi:

[InfiniteNow]

When character, integrity, and leadership were qualities respected enough to influence election results?

 

 

Look over here at gay marriage and immigration... we don't want you seeing the other wool that we're pulling over your eyes.

...yards full of clover?

My yard is full of clover.

...when dandelions were considered pretty?

I consider dandelions to be very pretty, especially when they seed.

...burning dead leaves in the fall?

I think we're the only house in the neighborhood that doesn't do this.
