yeah i remember the glass globes with something spinning in there... popsickles tasted better... automobile safety had not yet been invented... the #1 job of every boy was to get laid... my first score (1966) came in aluminum foil... my first brick (kilo, 1970) that came in blue cellophane and smelled like ammonia from uncle Al, he called himself (organized crime)...

Did any one mention phone party lines? Where you had to wait for your long winded neighbor to get off the phone. I also remember back when my boss didn't know where I was every second of the day and couldn't call me on a cell phone. [a few more years to go for retirement for me.]
i remember the first tv the picture was the size of a post card and the rest was 3 feet square and i remember when you did not have to lock your doors and you could leave tools out over night and they would be there in the morning if you worked on your bike .howdy doodie and davy crocket and for a 5cets you could get a coke and a candy bar if you did not take the bottle from the store and drank it there the tv's got huge and the candy bars bars shrank to tiny 2 bite bars for a dollar

Once more on the TVs, they were mono and black and white. When Nissan was Datsun and Chrysler was introducing some car made by Mitsubishi. And my dad saying how he didn't want to buy another set of tools that were metric. My dad and grandpa both had early Datsun but only as spare vehicles. Anyone remember the "3 on the tree" shifters or when you could look under the hood and see the ground? or when cars had full size spare tires and a real trunk?

I remember three on the tree very well, I aught to, I roll around in an old F100 all the time.
Datsun was called Datsun because when they introduced the car to the States the name Nissan was very unpopular with the American Public due to the war. At least that was the way I heard it. If you remember right, most any Datsuns engine clearly had Nissan marked on it, usually stamped right on the rocker cover.

that seems like a very long time ago ...... but i do remember it being a good feeling. WTF happened?
It was good. It seems to be about the time families started breakin up. Moms workin,Dads nonexistence, welfare. Everyone is lookin out for themselves. In my sad opinion we are not better off. We are breedin to many non-thinkers,and I for one do not trust stupid people.
All civilizations fluxuate, ours ain't lookin to good right now. Sorry this thread has made me meloncolly (sp) time to see my gurls. they at least are way the fuck better than the good ole days
