Thanks for posting

Yes that did bring back memories. I remember we we're in "hog heaven " when We got the completed set of Encyclopedias. The push lawn mower, the wife still uses that back by her "she fort". We still have an old fashion crank ice cream maker that we traditionally make ice cream over christmas.

I think I have a pager like that somewhere in the house? BTW - Anyone ever put dish soap about on a slip & slide and not tell anyone? WHAM-O was an understatement, especially if you missed the lawn?!

WOW.. I remember every thing here... Took forever to set up the mouse trap game ...

Anybody ever look through the Reminiscing magazine ??

 

[Brokenhandle]

Definitely brings back memories! Was there any change left in that phone booth?

We still have a set of World Books and Britannicas. The only thing I couldn't connect with was the yellow key fob. But everything else was part of my experience. Thanks for posting!

The Yellow key fob was a radio.. not really a key fob ...

I am old, no wonder why everything hurts!

I didn't know which yellow you meant.
The radio that was much larger than a key fob.
or
The yellow insert to play a 45 large spindle single on a small spindle phonograph (they call them turntables now)

That was cool. I remember everything. Don't know if that's good or bad, lol. Thanks for sharing, brings back a lot of memories.

Yeah, that one. I recognized and owned the 45 inserts.

We had this something like this one, too. I had RCA record player that folded up and it used the tube.

Along with not needing the plastic insert for 45's... This also allowed you to stack the records and drop one at a time... coarse we all new that... LOL

When I worked delivery for a dry cleaners I had a fancy pager. They could leave a 15 second message....

Back in the day when I carried a pager, but we didn't have cell phones, I was stuck in traffic and my boss was steadily paging me. When I finally got back to the office, he was furious at me for not calling. Those were the days.....

Those are great items from the past, And it is like a walk through your past. Who had the am transistor radio, 9 volt battery, Before FM became popular.

In the early 60's when I was a kid, I remember hearing my parents talk to their parents about the colored lard they used during WWII. Butter wasn't available. It sounded and felt like they were talking about ancient Greek history, not something that happened less than 20 years before the conversation.

Now, when I talk to my kids about my childhood, they feel the same way. Memories of gas wars (price drop from 33 cents to 17 cents/gal), drive-in movie dates, the appearance of FM radios in cars, boxes of 8-track tapes in the middle of the front bench seat, seem like easily recallable memories but make me sound like Plato's drinking buddy.

Steamed windows, a favorite memory of living in the South, probably still happen but not to an annual showing of the ancient movie Gone with the Wind.

I was 8 or 9 when I got my first AM 9 volt radio. I was in hog heaven, I'll never forget. I also got an earphone with it, and at that time it was the coolest thing in my world. Funny how things change.
