Well I did have to walk 1 mile to kindergarten.... and walk the neighbor's girl there too!! :)

But that was after milking a cow and feeding 20,000 baby chickens and 3 showers to get the smell of crap off me so that neighbor's girl would hold my hand!!!!

And my kids actually liked listening to my Aerosmith, Led Zepplin, Jethro Tull, Beatles record albums.....

And at .33 a gallon when we got our license, we'd drive around all day for $2.00!

PF tuck shop is a canteen on the school grounds where we would put in a lunch order and go back there at lunch time and pick it up, at my primary school (grades 1 to 6) our tuck shop was open every day, but at hers because it was run by the parents it was only one once every two weeks. so my joke on her was if she put in a lunch order today she would not get it unto
the next time it was open (2 week old food) so it would be off (bad), well every time she tells me i think its funny but thats just me

LOL thanks :)


You've increased my Aussie dictionary yet again. ;)

my pleasure

You could go to the movie with only a couple of dollars and be able to buy all the candy and popcorn you could eat

You used to be able to watch serial movies where they would show a new episode of the same story every week

Perverts like us had our own movie theater

The Flinstones was a prime time show on Friday nights

The Wonderful World of Disney was THE tv show on Sunday nights

All those really neat lunch boxes

Professional athletes were heroes

I remember as a kid when my mother would give me $1 to go to the store and buy a gallon of milk, a loaf of bread and she would let me get a nickle candy bar. Then she would tell me to make sure and bring back the change. :eek:

…. And if that nickel candy bar was a 3 Musketeer, it was 3 distinct pieces that broke apart. :)
