Amelia Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 I saw a thing the other day. It was bright lime green. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon_smile_sick.gif" alt="" /> Hot pants anyone. Neru jackets. Young Rolling Stones. Laugh In. Morning exercises with Jack Lalane and his white german shepard.

K Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Ooops you're right. I am old. I remember the 8 track came in our used pontiac station wagon with the wood panels on the side. We didn't have a stereo so I only heard it in the car, and I knew every song. K O Quote Proverbs 15:15 He that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.

K Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Oh Amelia I am so bad. . .I actually bought a lime green top and a pair of sneakers with lime green on them. Yes this was a month or so ago. Oh and I have bought a bunch of orange shirts too. Do you remember the "Orange Crush Denver Broncos" Orange was very popular in Colorado in the old days.

Michelle Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 K--are you from Colorado? I grew up in Colorado and Wyoming, and had several of those "orange crush" color shirts for a long time (I'm still not used to the "new" colors and horse, as they changed after I moved away from the state). My mom and I put one of those on a large snowman we built in our front pasture one winter--got lots of laughs! Quote: Oh and I have bought a bunch of orange shirts too.

Ron Lambert Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Anyone remember the old 78 rpm records? It was neat there for a while when turntables had to be able to play 78's, 45's, and 33 1/3's (which finally became the standard). You could take a 33 1/3 "long-playing" record and play it at 78 rpm, and make chipmonks out of the vocalists. Or you could play the Chipmonks recorded on a 45 record at 33 1/3, and hear a decent, almost normal quartet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Ron--I was at the tail end of that time, and my dad had one of those turntables. It was so funny to switch the speed (though you can also do that on our old Victrola, which is now with family members in the States, as we didn't want to bring it here). On the Victrola, our kids would ask us to play an old Sousa march (directed by Sousa, played by his band), and then ask for it to be faster--they'd "march" so fast they'd be running around the dining room. Too funny! M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Laurel Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Oh yes! 78's! I used to have some 78 rpm recordings of Sousa marches. Great fun! And remember having to replace needles in record players? Remember when drug and hardware stores used to have tube testers to test your radio tubes. Here's another one. Anyone remember Studebakers? My brother's first car was a '53 Studebaker. What a great car! I also slightly remember my grandfather's Kaiser. Quote Let Freedom Ring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always followed sports, and we used to have huge memorable Thanksgiving football gatherings at my home. My favorite uncle always cheered for anyone other than the Cowboys.

Moderators Jeannieb43 Posted May 13, 2005 Moderators Share Posted May 13, 2005 Anybody notice that none of us really old guys[gals] are posting in this thread...?! I hate to admit it, but I can remember when we didn't have a refrigerator. It was an icebox. And the iceman came a couple times a week and delivered the ice. Of course, we were really "out in the country" then... we were in Loma Linda! Quote Jeannie<br /><br /><br />...Change is inevitable; growth is optional....

Ron Lambert Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Jeannieb43, I do remember when the ice man came a couple of times a week bringing a big block of ice, which we put in the "ice box" part of our big, upright cooler. We could only obtain icecream from a store or soda fountain, and had to eat it right away. The ice cream truck (Good Humor) was really welcome on a hot summer day! I was about six, I think, when we finally got a real refrigerator. I lived in Royal Oak then, which was a northern suburb of Detroit. Some of you younger people may regard our "primitive" times as quaint, but it was also true that we never, ever, felt any need to lock our doors.

Clio Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Mmmmm the Good Humor man... I remember him! And the milkman... getting free ice as a kid from the milkman... ohhhh on a hot summer's day... and it tasted soooo good. Quote A heart where He alone has first place.

Nora Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 How about margarine that came in pliable plastic, with a yellowish-orange blob in the center, and you had to knead it through the whitish margarine? Remember a plastic-less society? Remember when there were no credit cards? We had a rag man come through the alley in Detroit, hollering for rags. Coal was dumped through a "shoot" into the basement. I remember hiding behind the sofa when my uncles came home from WW II in their uniforms, because it meant it was the end of the world!

Clio Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Mmmm the first ATM machines? We had a coal chute, but it had fallen into disrepair because sometime in the early 60's the house had been updated to include oil heat... Kids were looking at pictures last night and exclaimed... Hey! Pop used to have HAIR! *sigh* when my lovely dark tresses turn grey... will I also automatically become older than dirt? Much to my husband's dismay, I'm already several years older than he was when his grey became "noticeable". Quote A heart where He alone has first place.

Moderators LynnDel Posted May 17, 2005 Moderators Share Posted May 17, 2005 I remember 1958, just home from Africa. My parents had nothing much. They had an old black car with no turn signal, so my mother had to stick her arm out, sometimes in -25 F. weather to make turns. Everyone had cars with big ugly fins on them, nothing like the Jeeps I was used to. I remember having root beer floats and fries being delivered to our car by girls on skates, serving us with a tray attached to our car window. I remember bomb drills at school, related to the Cuba incident. I remember when everyone who had money built bomb shelters under their homes or in their yards. I remember when most Adventist women wore hats to church. I remember walking down to the Dairy Queen on Sundays and paying 5 cents for my favorite - a Dilly Bar. I remember when all the girls at school had crinoline slips (my sister and I called them "sticky-out slips"), but we didn't because my parents didn't think they were healthy or modest. I remember when the main choices for vegetarians, when it came to eating out, was a grilled cheese sandwich, pizza, or Chinese. I remember when the highways used to be crowded with mile after mile of billboards advertising cigarettes and beer, among other things. I remember Burma Shave signs. I'm ancient.
