I'm so old I Remember when:

[Nomadicus]

Ok...
I was gonna say... you all were hard core back in the day.

Well 20 years ago I could walk 12 miles after getting off of work at 5. I remember that... and wonder if that is why my hips need replacing now. I just wore them out.

Does anyone remember playing red rover? And getting clotheslined trying to break through the line of kids. Ah those were the days.

The 1984 world's fair.

Expo 67 in Montreal... Our toddler son slipped away from us and finally found him in the Russian Pavilion... The Cold War was still heated.

Right when it happened I said the moon landing was fake. It surprises me that there is now such a big group of non-believers.

You mean people don’t believe they landed on the moon when there’s footage of it?

I don't know how or why the flag was blowing where there is no atmosphere? Surely they didn't burn extra fuel for a fan that couldn't blow air that doesn't exist.

It was like a maypole and went round and round while you clung on for dear life.
I was looking for a picture and came across this . It is basically what I am remembering but the things to hold on to weren't that fancy - I just remember them being like short bars with the chain connected in the middle and you grabbed on to the bar on either side of the chain.
I never thought about this before - but I am short - always have been for my age - so my legs were never on the ground - I would just be flying around in the air - but bigger kids must have been touching the ground to make it go around.

They wired it to make it look like it was blowing

I remember the start of the HIV/AIDs epidemic.
