[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 732398, member: 21572"] I remember it all. Even if I had the power to change the era I grew up in, I wouldn't change a thing. Love, love, love the era I grew up in! [LIST] [*]Wall telephones [*]Cigarettes (when nearly everyone smoked) [*]Clotheslines [*]Freedom to run and play everywhere as kids [*]Good old-fashioned home-time, where families still gathered at mealtime, unlike today. [*]Good old-fashioned punishment/discipline. Sure none of us liked getting a spanking, but in many regards, I think a good old-fashioned proper spanking directed the younger generation better, than many of the namby-pamby ways of today. [*]Cloth diapers. Boy, do I remember! I was changing them in the 60's! [*]Play toys that lasted! Good old-fashioned metal toys! And few needed batteries. [*]The best darned pedal cars ever! Working lights, horns, realistic sounding engines... we rode in style! [*]Tupperware Parties! Who else remembers those? I remember, because while my mom was out for the evening at someone else's house mingling and having fun with other women sharing the same interests (homemaking), I was at home babysitting! [*]Vacuum cleaner salesman! LOL! How they used to drop-by the house, dump a pile of dust and things on moms clean carpets, then suck it up again to show how much suction their vacuums had! [*]When everyone knew everyone. Boy, has that ever changed, huh? [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
