Nostalgia..One Of The Best Emails I Ever Recieved I Just Had This Sent To Me Today By A Friend. Unfortunantly the Pics didn't Copy but Im sure y'all get the Drift....what ...if any...of these things do u remember?? (CAreful U might show ure age  )
Here's a nostalgia message - Enjoy! How's This For Nostalgia? All the girls had ugly gym slips? It took five minutes for the TV to warm up? Nearly everyone's Mum was at home when the kids got home from school? Nobody owned a purebred dog? When 3d was a decent allowance? You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny? Your Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces? All your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had their hair done every day and wore high heels? You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking, all for free, every time? And you didn't pay for air? And, you got trading stamp! s to boot? Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box? It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents? They threatened to keep kids back a year if they failed. . . and they did it! When a Ford Zephyr was everyone's dream car...to cruise, lay rubber or watch the girls... and people went steady? No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked? Lying on your back in the grass with your friends? and saying things like, 'That cloud looks like a. '? Playing cricket with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game? Stuff from the store came without safety caps! and hermetic seals because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger? And with all our progress, don't you just wish, just once, you could slip back in time and savor the slower pace, and share it with the children of today. When being sent to the head teacher's office was nothingcompared to the fate that awaited the student at home? Basically we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! But we survived because their love was greater than the threat. . .as well as summers filled with bike rides, baseball games, Hula Hoops, bowling and visits to the pool, and eating Kool-Aid powder with sugar. Didn't that feel good, just to go back and say, 'Yeah, I remember that'? How Many Of These Do You Remember? Sweet cigarettes Coke in bottles. You're never alone with a Strand . Coffee shops with Table Side Jukeboxes. Blackjacks and bubblegums . Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers. Newsreels before the movie. Telephone numbers with a word prefix...( Mayfair 3489). Party lines. Peashooters. Andy Pandy. Hi-Fi's & 45 RPM records. 78 RPM records! Green Shield Stamps. Comptometers. Scalextric. Do You Remember a Time When.. Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'? 'Race issue' meant arguing about who ran the fastest? Catching tiddlers could happily occupy an entire day? It wasn't odd to have two or three 'Best Friends'? The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was'chickenpox'? Having a Weapon in School meant being caught with a catapault? Saturday morning television wasn't 30-minute commercials for action figures? Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause forgiggles ? The Worst Embarrassment was being picked last for a team? War was a card game? Cigarette cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle? Taking drugs meant orange - flavored chewable aspirin? Water balloons were the ultimate weapon? If you can remember most or all of these, Then You Have Lived!!!!! Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their 'Grown-Up' Life I Double-Dog-Dare-Ya!

Here's a nostalgia message - Enjoy! How's This For Nostalgia? All the girls had ugly gym slips? No idea what they are It took five minutes for the TV to warm up? Yes with the old balck and whites Nearly everyone's Mum was at home when the kids got home from school? Sort of Nobody owned a purebred dog? Well not where we lived they didn't 
When 3d was a decent allowance? I don't know what denomination that is
You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny? Well for a 1c piece yeah (Australia) Your Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces? Vaugely All your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had their hair done every day and wore high heels? No, but I did have one female teacher in highschool that all the boys were in love with lol You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking, all for free, every time? And you didn't pay for air? And, you got trading stamp! s to boot? I remember everything but we didnt have trading stamps here Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box? No dont remember that one at all 
It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents? Yup remember that  When dad wasn't drunk that is 
They threatened to keep kids back a year if they failed. . . and they did it! yeah I remember that...and no I was never kept back
When a Ford Zephyr was everyone's dream car...to cruise, lay rubber or watch the girls... and people went steady? Not a ford but In Australia it was some sort of Holden No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked? In other places yes...but NOT in our neighbourhood
Lying on your back in the grass with your friends? Yesand saying things like, 'That cloud looks like a. '? Definantly Playing cricket with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game? Yeah Stuff from the store came without safety caps! and hermetic seals because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger? Now that I miss  I cant get s**t open anymore
And with all our progress, don't you just wish, just once, you could slip back in time and savor the slower pace, and share it with the children of today. U know I think we should at least try anyway even in this day and time When being sent to the head teacher's office was nothingcompared to the fate that awaited the student at home? Are u kidding? The Principal had a cane
Basically we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! But we survived because their love was greater than the threat. . .as well as summers filled with bike rides, baseball games, Hula Hoops, bowling and visits to the pool, and eating Kool-Aid powder with sugar. Didn't that feel good, just to go back and say, 'Yeah, I remember that'? Actually it did...made me think a bit too 
How Many Of These Do You Remember? Sweet cigarettes I really, really miss the chocolate ones 
Coke in bottles. You're never alone with a Strand . Coffee shops with Table Side Jukeboxes. Blackjacks and bubblegums . Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers. And cream on the top of the mild....God Im old 
Newsreels before the movie. Telephone numbers with a word prefix...( Mayfair 3489). Party lines. Peashooters. Andy Pandy. Hi-Fi's & 45 RPM records. 78 RPM records! Green Shield Stamps. Comptometers. okay wtf is that???? Scalextric. Do You Remember a Time When.. Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'? My kids do that now 'Race issue' meant arguing about who ran the fastest? Catching tiddlers could happily occupy an entire day? It wasn't odd to have two or three 'Best Friends'? The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was'chickenpox'? Having a Weapon in School meant being caught with a catapault? Saturday morning television wasn't 30-minute commercials for action figures? Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause forgiggles ? and sometimes nausea
The Worst Embarrassment was being picked last for a team? War was a card game? Cigarette cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle? Taking drugs meant orange - flavored chewable aspirin? Water balloons were the ultimate weapon? If you can remember most or all of these, Then You Have Lived!!!!! Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their 'Grown-Up' Life I Double-Dog-Dare-Ya!

I tried to tell my kids that when I was a little girl and we used to go get gas there was a tube you ran over that went "bing-bing" to let an attendant know someone was outside. Then he or she came out and washed your windshield, checked your oil and tires, and put your gas in. And gas was .50 a gallon.
They were like....    
Now it's $3 and $4 a gal and we get no service.  "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |
