HOW MANY DO YOU REMEMBER???????

[Guest]

Remember that TV ad, "Since I got AIDS I've lost 45 LBs Thanks AIDS."
Funny and very sad at the same time now. Wasn't Richard Simmons in some of those ads?

This is too scary, the stuff I don't remember apparently we didn't have in oz, or so I've been told...... POMH....... pig Latin.... my mrs & her mum still use it fluently, no shit!.... I hate it cause they just babble on too quick for me.

Those clackers, gee...... we had Bruel Cream (sp) for our flat tops..lol
Not only do I still have all my 33 1/3, and 45's, but I've got some 78's as well!!

If you remembered 0-5 = You're still young
If you remembered 6-10 = You are getting older
If you remembered 11-15 = Don't tell your age
If you remembered 16-25 = You're older than dirt!

Might not be all. Point of information -- what you mean by "party line?"

[spliffdiddy]

I remember 15. One that really sticks out in my mind is "home milk delivery". When I was a kid my cousin and I stayed with our grandparents while our parents worked. Anyway, while there we used to take the empty milk bottles that were set out for the milkman and play "milkman" I would get in my Grandpas car with the bottles and pretend I was driving and delivering milk. The reason I remember this so well is becuase while playing "Milkman" I was getting out of my Pa Pa's car to do my pretend delivery and I slammed the car door shut on my hand. And I'm sure you remember back then cars were made very solid and the doors were very heavy compared to todays cars. Man, the pain is still a vivid memory, I mangled my fingers. After that day, I never played "Milkman" again.LOL.
Peace
