[QUOTE="Lil, post: 719788, member: 17309"] We're the same age [USER=18516]@Tanya M[/USER] but you must have lived in a bigger town - we didn't have a theater at all...or a Woolworths. I remember these! These were how we bought Christmas gifts! I remember getting the greenstamp catalogue and picking stuff out. I remember pasting them in too...Mom would soak a sponge and put it in a saucer and we'd press the stamps down on it to wet them, because otherwise you'd eventually get sick from the glue taste! I loved the greenstamp store. I miss full-service. :( There was a full-service station in this town until about 10 years ago. Heck, the back seat? I remember riding in the rear WINDOW! We'd lay up in there - or in the back of station wagons, seats or not! We also rode in the back of pickup trucks - or in the middle of the front seat, on mom's lap or straddling the shifter. We rode bikes on gravel - in shorts, and there was no such thing as pads and helmets. We drank out of garden hoses. We played outside for hours without a parent in sight! How did we survive? LOL [/QUOTE]
