Older than dirt - But still young enough to be computer savvy and be on Facebook!
We must have been poor because I remember using clothes pins, we didn't have no fancy clip.
You bought me those candy cigarettes, maybe that's why I started smoking. Yep, I'll stick with that story..LOL.
I have looked for the wax bottles with sugar water.
Oh, I remember party-lines. Gramma Reed had one and I listened to a conversation for an hour (okay 5 min probably, I was young and seemed like forever) before I started laughing and the ladies were like what was that. I got in TROUBLE.
Anyway - Don't tell my age!!
Older than dirt-But I have an 11 year old who thinks I'm still pretty cool!
Well I always knew I was older than dirt. Now it's been proven. LOL. I knew at least 20 or more. But, they are also some really good memories too.
Yup. I'm older than dirt. And I liked Teaberry gum;)
OK I totally thought you were going to post some more embarrassing pictures!!
Whew I feel better!!!
I remember every last one of them! I also remember Victrolas, and cars with names like Packard, Kaiser and Nash Rambler.
I rmember when a 3-Musketeer was perforated into three sections, and cost a nickel (cokes did too).
Ruby's Diners in CA have those table jukeboxes. They don't play 45's, but they look she same and have old time rock and roll music...and good old fashion burgers and shakes.
