[David In Indy]

and these....ya'll remember these??

Hey Jess, did you ever stick your tongue on a frozen one of those? I did.

Don't try it at home kids.

Do you remember that you could (if you had a telephone) pick up the reciever...dial your own number (on a rotary dial!) and hang up real fast ....and your own phone would ring! LOL!

I got a whupping one time for doing that....

    

YES!!! I used to prank mom and dad all the time doing that!!

Anyone remember their phone number looking like LINCOLN 5-1126? (That was our old phone # on Radnor Rd.)

Or CIRCLE 7-5252?

Or is everyone else around here younger than me?

Let's see what we can all remind one another of!

For some reason I was thinking today of back when I was a kid....how much of the tools in the kitchen were metal....and of course we didn't have no stick pans....do ya'll remember soaking the pans while you washed the rest of the dishes and having to scrub them?

Do you remember the first dish washer you ever saw?

and these....ya'll remember these??



Oh they were hard for a seven year old to pop....but we would work on it til we got it!

Tell us about what you remember....about things we have lost...

Still don't have a dishwasher - and still use ice cube trays - these fancy american firdges with ice making facilities are too expensive for me!!

the rumble seat of the station wagon...and no seat belts...you could waller all over the place.

do kids today get the 'stop short' arm anymore? I am 42 and my mother still will throw her arm out in front of me if we have to stop suddenly....see? we DID have safety devices...who needs a seat belt or air bags if you got your momma's arm??

See Your Mum does love you!

And Clarissa - what do circuis peanuts taste like exactly? sounds odd!

Aaaaah now I see....   We call them schuimpjes, but they are usually strawberry or lemon flavored and in different shapes...

Melissa, those circus peanuts are TERRIBLE!! I tasted one once and I almost threw up right where I stood. It was AWFUL tasting. They don't taste like peanuts at all. I can't describe the taste. There's really no way to describe it. They are really terrible tasting. Absolutely disgusting.
