I'm so old I Remember when:

[Rick589]

Who remembers taking a drive in the family station wagon, laying in the back, no seat belts, looking up at the stars?

Not me.

 

[Rick589]

Not me.

Ah yes, those were the days. The enjoyment of the evening, the breeze(windows would be open), the slipping around when a curve was taken to sharply, the thrill of knowing you could be catapulted out of the open window in the event of an accident.

We had vans my whole life.

With everything we did to ourselves and to our friends, under minimal supervision, it’s a wonder we survived.

Sooooo, who remembers Blockbuster?

Oh yeah, we used that all the time. Personal tragedy when they closed.

WHYYYYYYYYY, Blockbuster?

 

[Rick589]

We had vans my whole life.

Full sized or mini?

I remember once when I was young the supposed ‘adults’ in the room went out and dug up horseradish and ground it into a huge bowl of ‘very fresh, very potent’ horseradish. I guess they thought it was funny (judging by the tear filled laughter) when they tricked me into sticking my face near the bowl and taking a very deep breath. My tears were not accompanied laughter.

Oh, and the time we went to visit some people that lived on or near a farm with cows. What a joy that was when a single digit human ran out to see the cow and grab that electric fence.

Never heard of that one. Only heard of the sites that got shut down because they handed out free music MP3s.

Napster?
