I remember when lollies (candy) were 3 for a cent and no one owned a credit card.

Edit: was Owned by a credit card.

Remember "knuckle busters"?

When my mom used a credit card the cashier would pull a paper booklet out of the drawer beneath the register. It contained the numbers of stolen credit cards, so the cashier would look to see if my mom's card was stolen.

I remember when . . . wait. . . what was I gonna say. . . .

CRS?

Me too, and I never understood why they so adamantly tried to get me to write with my right hand.

Same here. I'm very good at slanting my writing though so it looks like I write right handed. My tiny rebellion . I was so glad when no one cared anymore!

We used to play that a lot when I was young! And tons of sing song clapping games.

Down by the banks of the hanky panky...

My Baby Does the Hanky Panky................

 

[fuzzi]

I remember enjoying the music of the Glen Miller band. I think he was a pilot also that was lost in WWII. Maybe I'm confused and I didn't look it up to see.

He was being flown over the English Channel, plane crashed after being lost in the fog.

My parents had a lot of Big Band records, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole. I didn't listen to rock music until I was 12.

I've heard stories of real life skinny dipping by older family members.

I remember "Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On"

I remember Penny Candy machines giving handfuls of gumballs instead of just one.

"Chicklets" tiny squares of gum.
