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... it was possible to actually greet friends and loved ones as they deplaned and walked down the airplane stairs -- on the tarmac!

Does anyone (multi millionares with private jets) get to do that anymore?

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.

Phone booths!!

Bad_boi · 08-02-2013, 06:18 AM

When people didn't bitch about kids playing outside and having to check on them every 5 seconds.

The beach was for sand buckets, and castles, and running into the surf, and racing away from it.

The beach is for sunsets, and love, and running into the surf, and racing away from it, with her.

Had to be in when the streetlights came on........

Neighborhood forts were built in the backyard using scrap lumber from anyone they could gather it from?

Meetings were held with all the neighborhood kids?

President, vice-president, secretary, and treasure were elected?

Everyone took turns bringing refreshments?

And nothing actually got accomplished but it was great fun for hours and hours at a time?

Yeh, good times!!
