Ahhhh ... sweet memories.








Even if we did have to walk 25-miles uphill both ways.

........ in snow up to our waist.









ROFL

now when i tell my 4 kids what it was like then they laugh at me
and by the way i am not 50 yet so it really dosent seem that long ago

I remember when ...

You had to put a bee in a clamshell to shave.

The boss pulled the tail of a bird that would scream to announce the end of your work shift.

Your feet were your car brakes.

The wild boar under your sink was your garbage disposal.

A dinosaur was a crane ... and also your pet.

You had to use a fish bone to comb your hair.

In memory of my friend skip...
Go then, there are other worlds than these

... carrying home three cords of firewood for the fireplace and a bucket of coal for the furnace, not to mention giving mama the nickel I made from delivering 323 papers. Aw, the good ol' days.

That reminds me of "Angela's Ashes" -- they were so poor the kids collected coal from the street.

You DID NOT deliver 323 papers?!?!?!

But look at the cool drive in & gigantic plate of ribs you would get!

When I was a kid....I would walk to the Snack Shack for an order of fries and "bling" was the sound coming from the pinball machine.......Brooks and Frank were my favorite Orioles....Johnny U my favorite Colt.... they all played because they loved the game...and the only thing coarsing thru their veins was Natty Boh.

7-11's were owned by Americans.Gas was cheaper but sometimes you could only buy it if the last number on your license plate was odd....or even...depending on what day it was.The pay phone was a dime and actually worked.Music mattered...not the lifestyle.AM radio played some pretty decent music but you had to turn the unit a certain way to get the best reception.

There was only one race card in the deck......now there's 51.

My old man was an auto mechanic...there wasn't any "chips" in cars and he fixed them with his hands....and US Automakers were #1

I wished I was an adult....and now I wish I was a kid.

I did not deliver papers, but I did deliver Eggs.

About 300dz every Saturday morning, with my little red wagon.

I remember the crappy TV reception and watching the movie "Splendor in the Grass" while squinting the entire time because it was so damn fuzzy!

I remember when gas was less than a dollar a gallon.

No one drove me to school, either. I had to walk and NO it wasn't 5 miles uphill in the snow both ways... but I did have to walk, rain or shine.

I also remember when girls didn't/couldn't wear pants to school.

Yum! Fried baloney sandwiches were the best, but dad was the only one who made them. Mom never did.

Mowed the lawn in summer to get $1 (later $2) from my daddy, then walked the 1 mile to the market to get the latest issue of Batman/Superman/Flash/GreenLantern, which were 12 cents apiece, 25c for the 80 page Giant...with tax I spent 50c on 4 comics, & had enough to go down to the drug store & get a Giant SweetTart...basically a hockey puck made of sugar & artificial flavor/color...on the walk home I sucked on the SweetTart & read the comics...
