So much to remember...the butter we still have on the table. Remember having to turn on and off change channels and adjust your TV at the set...dial your phone and speak on it where it was, tethered to the cable...getting cleaned up and dressed up to go to the movies...and oh so much more...:roflblack:

Dialing a number on a rotory telephone.

Being the original remote control and rabbit ear antenna adjuster for the TV so Dad didnt have to get out of his chair. Of course we only had 4 channels.

Having your mouth washed out with soap

Getting a spanking for acting up and not having the police come to arrest your parents for child abuse.

trick or treating without worry of poison or razor blades & shaving creaming each others instead of shooting each other

Remember how tough it was to walk across 9 feet of shag carpeting to change the T.V. Channel? :dontknow:

Like most, I have fond memories of the past, but I don't miss most of them. I grew up dirt poor, emphasis on the dirt part. We had little good food, little to do, and few luxuries. I'll stick with the present and look to the future.

Things I do miss, respect, honesty, dedication.

I helped my mom do the wash with a ringer washing machine. I kept getting my hand caught in the ringer. Then we'd hang them on a clothes line to dry.

You hung your your hands on the line to dry? :roflblack:

We called them "cannibal sandwiches." My father would make a sandwich of raw ground beef, salt, pepper, and raw chopped onion on a roll.

I felt soooo grown up the first time I got to eat one. Pretty sure none of us died from it.

 

[Bob Denman]

"Cannibal Sandwiches": I've got to try that! :thumbup:

 

[Cindy-TricLED]

vix balls, when we had sore throats, our grandmother would take some vix vapor rub, put a little in sugar and make a small ball out of it, then give it to us to eat.

You can eat vix vapor rub?? Hm wow I didn't know that

A friend of mine tried that once, told his Mom he was going to call the police for child abuse after a spanking. His Mom told him go ahead, she'd be out of prison LONG before he got out of the hospital....

Do you remember when a drive by shooting usually included someone's butt hanging out of a car window ???

 

[easysuper]

Hide and seek, we used to swarm the neighborhood in the summertime from dusk until well after dark. Always at least 15 to 25 playing nightly. Never had any problems or complaints.

Until my Dad blew the whistle that was hanging by the front door they my brother, sister and I would head for the house.
