Remember when.....

sierragirrl · 07-27-2013, 06:24 AM

gas was 98 cents a gallon?

sunday nights sitting around the tv watching the Disney movies on t.v?

weekends at the movies where you pay one price to see 2 movies?

the only way for you to get around town was a bike or your feet

national geographic with Jacques Cousteau

I do remember!
And how about that super hot/smart Joan Embry* from the San Diego Zoo that frequented 'The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson'?

*As a preteen I had such a crush on her!

Brown paper sacks. I would cut them up and use them for all kinds of stuff.

Thousands of years ago the teaches had us bring them to school and we made book covers out of them. Chuckles, maybe I should have posted this in the how do you know you are getting older thread.

Remember that big elastic thingy with metal hooks to latch it that went around the books to hold em together??

girl_dee · 07-28-2013, 04:54 AM

Ok Blade i found ONE photo online... they came in different colors and the fancy ones had one strap going each way...

Sometimes they would break and that was always a disaster lol

Remember when you could turn your tv on and not worry about what you'll see or what your kids see?
ahhh...those were the good 'ol days

JAGG · 08-01-2013, 09:19 AM

Riding your bike to the store to pick up a few things your mom needed.
Cutting the neighbor's grass for a whopping 50 cents being pissed that you only got 50 cents.
Your dad finding out you got 50 cents from an old lady and making you give it back. Oh the outrage of it all. Lol
Everyone carried book bags to school.
Fire truck rides at the local carnival.
4th of July parades and they threw bubble gum.
