Here in Michigan we have deposits on soft drinks and beer still. Keeps the littering down. Even if people throw them on the side of the road someone else picks it up to get the deposit. Now if they would only put it on water bottles.

Whats a ripple effect of Florida's open container law is the soda cans and trash go on the floor of the truck but the beer cans and bottles go out the window to the side of the road since its illegal to have them in the truck!!

The only thing about getting up to turn the channel was everyone sat so close to the TV then that you just reached over to turn the dial! {:-D

Remember when you could buy a single (45 rpm) record to get your favorite song?

Who remembers the vic 20?

The transitor Radios that used a 9 volt battery?

Bookkeeping done in ledger books and all done by hand.

When girls wore skirts and dresses to school, no pants allowed.

As for bottle deposits, we have that here in NY and water bottles also get 5 cents.
You pay more when you buy it so your only getting your money back.

Giving away my age. Sept. 1st I turn 70.
Hugs all.

I guess no one remembered the things I added. LOL
None of you are near my age.

I found a box of 8 tracks in the attic a month ago. LOL

Those shows don't seem that old to me. Watched them often.
Saw Elvis and the Beatles on the first shows on Ed Sullivan. Only Black and white TV.
Saw Carol Burnett on Broadway in the show Fade In- Fade Out.


Who remembers skate keys?

Barbie Dolls with bendable arms and legs?

2 cent post cards ?

I do remember the transistor radios Alexus, very well in fact. Found an old one of those at my mom's as well. In fact, that comment got me to thinking about an AM radio station I used to listen to as a kid. I did a search on the call letters and low and behold, a group of guys got together and now it's streaming online. Feels like I found an old long lost friend. Thanks for posting that nugget!
