#3-- a pack in my desk right now
#7-- presume you mean telephone, two rings.
#14--in the closet
#16--in the storage shed
#18--that's not old, I remember helping my mother make
copies using pans of geletain
#19--package in the drawer, little ones, number 5s, #11
clear
#22--still have my first one
#23--there are still drive-ins
#25--you mean with a motor? That came later. We had to
turn ours by hand because we had no eletricity.

#11 is a no. Didn't have a telephone at our house until I
was in the 7th grade and they didn't use words.

A few years before that...my father sent me down to get a pack of Luckies, and
gave me 2 dimes. No pennies in the pack coming back and he got angry, thought
I'd swiped them. I was maybe 9-10 (long before PC howls about younger than 18

I remember when 45's were the new fad and not likely to replace 78's.

When I placed my first phone call I was five. I cranked the handle and told
the operator, "Rosalie, I want to talk to Mama." She rang my father's
grocery store, where my mother had gone for a few minutes..

We didn't have dirt until I was about ten. Who knew it would get to be a

Nice thread, JOAT.
In the book "Tuesdays with Morrie" a young man meets regularly with a former
mentor of his who is dying. At one point he asks Morrie whether he misses
being able to do many of the old things. Morrie replies that he doesn't,
because he has done so much and remembers it well. The memories are
important, of course, but the doing of the old things the first time makes
for a rich life.
This is one very big reason why I am a woodworker: the memories have
substance.

Hell, the first car I stole was a Studebaker.

The first phone number I remember was my grandparents in 1949, "0384",
eight party line without a prefix. The only thing on the list I wasn't
familiar with was BlackJack chewing gum ... as a fledging and debonair bon
vivant, I only chewed Double Bubble.

I personally can't wait to get to 65, five more years, so I can get some

Remember? Hell, we still *have* a drive-in. Well, maybe not. Mr. Beasley
is looking pretty tired, and there are rumors that he might not re-open in
the spring. I'm still hoping. We go to the drive-in every time there's a
movie I can take my kids to, which is increasingly rare these days. Food
and a flick for four for less than $20. Can't beat it with a stick.

We still have drive-in restaurants too, with people on roller skates even.

Oh my God, 22! I am older than dirt.

Yeah, I got 22 of them also, and I'm not sure that
the other three aren't victims of CRS.

BTW, I saw BlackJack gum in the store just yesterday. It's baaaaaack!

That's one I don't ever remember seeing, but have heard of it.
What surprised me about 4 or 5 years ago was I actually saw
candy cigarettes in the checkout line at the grocery store!

I got 20. I'm older than dirt and feel like it today.

Damn. That looks a lot like the '38 Ford we had back shortly after WWII.
Might
be a '39 or '40, though--I once had a '40 convertible, but Mom sold it in
'57
while I was out of town.

Charlie, you sure that's a Ford? Looks almost like that ill-conceived
Chrysler Airflow from back in the 30's, the way the fenders flow. Wish there
was more of the grill showing.

DAGS, looks like most of the Airflows had fender skirts, but not all. Blew
this one up, and it sure does resemble them(but then again, a LOT of the
late 30's cars looked a lot alike) *And we complain about them all being
*cookie-cutter* cars today!*(LOL)

25 for 25!! Anybody older?

I also remember when Cigarettes was 23 cents a pack and when you got them in
a vending machine you dropped in a quarter and the two cents was inside the
cellophane wrapper.

In the late 30's they were $1.50/carton of ten.

Bill, you aren't from Kentucky by any chance are you?
