[QUOTE="Lil, post: 719778, member: 17309"] Wow! I feel like a youngster! :hapydancsmil: Pretty soon you ladies will be yelling at me to get off your lawn! :D I do, actually remember a lot of those things, but more because we were poor and rural, not because of the age. I was firmly in the disco generation. LOL No greasers in my school - Just the poor kids and the "rich kids" and really, the rich kids weren't that rich. Joy of a small rural school was you knew everyone and had to hang out with them. Problem with a small rural school was you knew everyone and there was no one else to hang out with! So I remember rotary phones on the wall, party lines, learning cursive, manual typewriters - and mimeograph machines! We did our school newspaper on one! Anyone remember that smell? Do home perms smell better now? I haven't done one since the 1980's. I remember clackers - but I never had any. I couldn't make a hula hoop stay up - even as a kid. My mom owned a ringer washer and we hung clothes on a line - but that's because we were poor, not because of the year. We also only had a black and white TV until I was at least in high school...and we got 2 channels - CBS and NBC. ABC was on UHF, and our TV only went to channel 13. I do remember Nixon resigning. I was 10 or 11. I remember that as the first time I saw something on TV and thought, "This is important. This is history." That's where Dad hung his belt! Speaking of belts - I do remember sanitary belts. Granted, they were on the way out and there were already adhesive ones, but I liked them better because I wore those granny panties that got mentioned on another thread and they weren't as secure. Then again, I had the kind of periods that made you miss 3 days of school every month. Ugh! I remember when you had to get one from a machine, they were still that kind and came with safety pins! I LOVED Lawn Darts! I hated when they stopped selling them! I remember thinking, "Who is stupid enough to stand at both ends and throw darts at each other? This isn't rocket science!" OHHHHHHH! :wellduh: [/QUOTE]
