I'm so old I Remember when:

[SmiYa0126]

• Phone booths - and calls were a dime.
• Photo mat booths - and it took weeks to get your photos back.
• Black and white TV with 8 channels and rabbit ear antennas.
• Movie theaters that always played double-features.
• Winter boots that were "slickers" - you put your foot in, shoes and all. Mom slipped an old bread bag over your shoe so you could get your foot in.
• The Pledge of Allegence, every morning, in school
• Manual typewriters, taking note hand, being graded on cursive penmanship

Who knows what this is?

I remember when there were still white pennies in circulation.

I never heard of those! I have to look it up. Cool!

Us, too! We were so cool

I remember the house of one set of grandparents had no electricity and an outhouse. No indoor plumbing at all. Drinking water was a bucket on the back porch with a gourd dipper. There were no electric lines and no telephone lines. Light at night was from kerosene lanterns.

Grandma had an old-fashioned sink with two separate faucets: one for cold water and one for HOT water. (I missed that sink after the kitchen was remodeled after I grew up before my cousin & his family moved into it.)

Hair dryer

My mom had one. I thought it was so neat! She'd put my hair in curlers and I'd love sitting under it. In the winter, it was nice and warm! Mom's had more of a "hard shell" than a shower cap style head.

I'm enjoying these "trips down memory lane."

i remember when Pres Kennedy was shot

I do too. I had just finished taking a finals in a forestry course - went out to see the Princess who worked in that building, and she told me - ran back to the test room and caused a major disruption when I gave everyone the news.

I remember and will never forget/forgive 9/11
