I remember when.....

[Lincsong]

I do remember E ticket rides at Disneyland though

I remember those when we went in 1974...

 

[Lincsong]

I remember the shock and subsequent argument in 1978 when my Grandpa bought a leather blazer for $200.

 

[rue]

I miss Disneyland I hear it's not the same since I left.

 

[Lincsong]

I haven't been there since 1992.

 

[rue]

I was there the last time in 1997. I guess a few of the rides are gone now.

 

[Lincsong]

And they bought up most of the little motels surrounding it, and that farm that the Japanese guy wouldn't sell. His kids made quite a fortune when he died.

 

[rue]

Then they built some other Disney park there didn't they? I'll bet they did make some bucks on that.

 

[Lincsong]

I remember odd and even gas days. I remember when we had the Bicentennial Celebration at school, we got dressed up like little minutemen, but they wouldn't let us bring our toy muskets to school.

Also, when Montgomery Ward, JC Penney and Sears had real departments with sales staff that knew the products.

I remember when cars had venetian blinds in the window

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I remember when people still listened to records. (besides me)

I remember when people still listened to records. (besides me)

I still do, though not as often as my CDs. I remember sitting in front of our huge, stereo console and looking at all of my Mom's albums: the Village People (really, Mom?), the Bee Gees (it was the 70s, I guess!), Barbara Streisand, etc.

I remember when our living room had blue shag carpet.

 

[Lincsong]

I remember when cars had venetian blinds in the window

I see those every so often in some 60's cars that drive around here. They kept the sun off that backlite.

 

[Lincsong]

I remember automobiles with chokes. Yeah, I'd like to choke those things. bahahhahahahahah

 

[ortega76]

I remember when pudding cups were made out of aluminum cans. You popped the top and gave children a snack with a jagged edge.

 

[Lincsong]

I remember when lunch boxes were made of metal and the Thermos was glass lined.

 

[LizzieMaine]

I remember when there wasn't a whole full-length aisle in the grocery store devoted to snack foods. Maybe a quarter of an aisle, and your choice was potato chips, bar-b-q potato chips, pop corn, cheese corn, potato sticks, or pretzels. You had to go to the expensive part of town to find Cheez-Doodles and Fritos.

I remember sitting in front of the TV on July 20, 1969 when the world stopped as Apollo 11 approached, and then landed on the moon, and then the agonizing wait for Armstrong to come down the ladder, step off the LEM landing pad, and place his feet on the surface.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Haha, from what I've inherited from my folks, they gave me their console and all their albums. I have the 'Saturday Night Fever' soundtrack, a couple Streisand albums, and a Village People 8-track (Dad graduated in 78 and Mom in 83 lol) Ah well, takes me back to being a kid anyways!

I still do, though not as often as my CDs. I remember sitting in front of our huge, stereo console and looking at all of my Mom's albums: the Village People (really, Mom?), the Bee Gees (it was the 70s, I guess!), Barbara Streisand, etc.

We had green shag and wood paneling in our living room! And it was 2001 lol

I remember when our living room had blue shag carpet.

I remember pumping the gas a few times to get my wood-paneled station wagon started, then all my buddies chipping in gas money, so we could all pile in that 8-passenger behemoth and cruise around Portage.

 

[Lincsong]

I remember when 19 inch televisions had a handle on the top so you could carry it from room to room. I also remember when some televisions had "push button" channels that were actually 14 pre-set dialed channels but you had to slide the channel number next to the button.
