Flannel lined blue jeans....As a kid growing up and playing outside in winter in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, these were a godsend........:praying:

and we used attic fans to try to cool off the house.

We had a oil space heater in our apartment and my dad attached a fan on top of the door casing to circulate the heat that rose to the top...

how else we kept cool.....

Anyone remember weatherman Bob Sheets who broadcasted Hurricane Andrew

in Miami FL. Chief Meteorologist of a local channel.

You saw him get progressively more exhausted. Was on the air all the way

thru the hurricane. No breaks no naps. Retired shortly thereafter, but made

a whole bunch of South Florida feel not alone. Really reassuring!

You were the only girl on the block with a record player, and you invited your girlfriends over to listen (dance) to the singles it played.

i remember this!

when a station bragged about a show being in color.

I remember the knife sharpener that was on the back. I cut myself today and that reminded me of my dad sharpening the knives on this thing.

My parents had one just like that. Oh those colors!

it went well in here.........
 

Sure you remember......
 

Shrinky Dinks,Viewfinders?!

Etch A Sketch,The Magic Slate

Mork suspenders

When I took typing class it was all well and good UNTIL you made an error and went to correct it!

This was WAY before correction tape or white out. You had to move the carriage all the way to the right, so none of the crumbs from the eraser fell onto the typewriter keys, (these were manual typewriters btw) Moving the carriage back went fine, but getting the text to line up was the challenge!

Remember when........
 

You could leave your door unlocked to both the house and automobile!

Rowin & Martin's Laugh In

Smother's Brothers Hour

Gilligan's Island

The Merv Griffin Show

The Grand Ol' Opry with Minnie Pearl

Smoking on airline flights was okay.

Cars only had lap belts, if at all. And nobody you knew wore them,

Roller Derby with Jane West skating (what a long platinum haired heart throb)

Also, when the only day you could take your AM transistor radio to school was

when the Indy 500 ran. You took it to class and left it on during the race.

Then the teacher would collect 'em all to give back when school was done.

Omg lap belts. I do remember that!

I remember when if Gunsmoke was on, you better not make a sound!
