Good old days

[Molden]

How about this one?

"Ohhh LANCE-LOT!!!"

How about this. dialing into the BBS with your brand new 14.4bps modem?

BAA HAA HAA HAA!!!!!  I had a friend who actually ran a BBS!!  The entire upstairs of his house was a series of desktop after desktop!!!

So many good memories have been brought back! Especially mom popping corn on the stove so we could eat it out of paper cones watching disney. And how about the muppets. They were the best! Knowing every person who went down Grandma's road because it had virtually no traffic. Pop cans had those nifty ring tabs that you pulled off. Going to the drive-in wearing pajamas cause you would be asleep by the time it was over.

Sunday dinners with families and person where nice to you just because.

Oh and streakers. Held the door for one, all I heard was watch out, and opened the door.
VW buses were a home away from home.

When taking a picture of something you waited until the roll was finished and than waited days to see if that perfect shot was "perfect".

Family photos with one kid either making a face or picking its nose.

The Red Skelton Show, Carol Burnett, Movies like Ben Hur, playing tiddly-winks, washers, marbles, red rover, red light-green light, hide n go seek, snow cones, using your imagination and making a cardboard box into....a car...bus...truck...submarine...

Impromptu games with the neighborhood kids.  After dinner, outside in the street, playing kick the can, tag, or baseball, using the 3 trees for bases, even though they weren't even or the same distance.  All the kids played, with a whole variety of ages, while the parents sat on the front stoops and visited.  No one had all the gear, usually there was 1 or 2 bats for the different size kids and a couple of softballs.  Some kids had gloves, others didn't.  No referees, no parents interfering, no whiny kids.

Ok, for the 4th of july weekend...
How 'bout all the neighborhood kids dressing up and decorating their bikes for a 4th of july parade around the block...and all the parents in their lawnchairs watching...and then the block party following with dads on competing grills and tricycle races for the kids.

I will have to scan the picture of me in my majorette dress, my brother with the bandage on the head and fife and my neighbor Nathan with the flag...I was a bit of a garbmistress even then.  Or better yet, the matching red white and blue pinafore & coveralls outfits my Mom made for the bicentennial. 
I think there was a sense of unquestioned patriotism back then.  Don't get me wrong, you still made fun of and sometimes complained about the decisions the government made, but you didn't turn your back on them...or the soldiers.
God Bless America!!!

How about this. dialing into the BBS with your brand new 14.4bps modem?

14.4? Hell, try an old 2600 baud. Thing took longer to dial than it takes to load a web page.
And half the BBSs only had a few lines, so you usually got a busy signal.
How about computers that had memory rated it KILObytes.
TexasInstruments, back when they made computers...

[Angus]

I had an old "Trash 80" with a cassette drive...

[escherblacksmith]

Vic-20, 5K, cassette drive.

300 baud modem.

Hah.

Having to wait to use the telephone because someone else was on the party line ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_line_(telephony) )

Bedtime before sunset

Sunday dinner/lunch with family

[Valiss]

I miss cartoons.  Every cartoon now looks and sounds really lame.  The animation has gone downhill and all the characters now resemble something from anime. 

When was the last time you saw Bug Bunny stick his carrot in Elmers gun and have it blow up while they play clasical music in the background?
