Remember When ...

[ohalexSC22]

OMG! VHS - I still have a ton of those that no one watches!!

and I'm so glad those shoulder pads are long gone Eva! lol.

Remember when window units were the ONLY air-conditioning available? !!

[noface]

I still have VHS tapes in piles yet too...have the software to burn them to disc but it's a slow process.
Guess I could dream of you and I making a VHS video together

We'll go a little more recent; remember when Geocities and Altavista were the big search engines?

[ohalexSC22]

and the time when the only phones were land lines - and we actually used those big phone books!!

[noface]

You could buy a black and white tv?! {:-D

[ohalexSC22]

Good one NoFace!!

...all convertible soft tops were manual....

[noface]

In the early 90's I bought a 71' Corvette with the manual top...sucked when it rained!

Remember when...
people used 'Instant' camera's (Polaroid)!

[ohalexSC22]

Loved those curvy Stingrays! What color was it?

Polaroids!! I do remember that! And then all cameras used film that had to be developed...

[noface]

Mine was Red.

This one goes back too far for me, but through Bob & Tom Show I heard this one.

Remember when...Otis the Drunk was the only married guy on The Andy Griffith Show?! {:-D

I haven't read all the posts, but what about when TV went off after midnight. You heard the Star Spangled Banner and then the fuzzy screen!!!

Oh and when Pong was the top video game!!!

Red - now THAT is a sexy car!! Otis the drunk! Lol what an actor! I grew up wishing I had an "Aunt Bee."

And Loke - how cool are you?! We are spoiled with all our TV now! Pong, that was a fun game! I think I was addicted to Pac Man!

Who remembers when gas station attendants pumped the gas and washed the windshield?...

I can have a tie-in to when they pumped gas and washed windshields...remember when they called premium leaded gasoline (no unleaded yet), ETHYL?

[loke693]

What about parachute pants. That was the thing, to wear parachute pants with all the zippers!!! Or even a little step back further, Saturday morning cartoons with School House Rock!!!

I am a Bill, yes I'm only a Bill and I'm sitting here on Capital Hill....


Loke

[ohalexSC22]

I loved School House Rock!!

Who remembers how big the first mobile phones were - the big giant blocks?

[noface]

Those came around about the time that (remember when) CB radios were all the big thing?!

[ohalexSC22]

OK I admit, "back in the day" (everybody says that) using a CB radio... we played a hide and seek game with others in cars!

Who remembers having rabbit ear antennas and the big roof antennas for t.v. reception?

[noface]

Remember when houses had real wood fireplaces instead of fake (gas)?

[loke693]

Remember you could fill up your gas tank with like $5.00, kids played outside (hide a seek, any bounce, kill the man, double dutch, kick the can, hop scotch). Remember when you looked forward to recess, street block parties and hated having to take naps. Riding your big wheel. Having water balloon fights and riding your bike down the street. Coming home when the street lights came on, and when kids were supposed to be seen, not heard (LOL)!!!


Loke

[ohalexSC22]

Yeah... I remember that... and having time to lay on your back and watch the clouds in the sky float by.... anyone do any meteorite watching on a summer night?

[noface]

BTW Alex...lovely set today. Wish I was doing a shoot with YOU!

Remember when you were in school and they used chalkboard and chalk? Not going to mention the scraping sound !

[loke693]

Noface and Alex,

That was an amazing update on Friday, July 1. And to think it was a guess photographer. I'd love to had been that photographer. To bear witness up close and personal so such an amazing woman, would be like paradise!!! I can only imagine the conversation being had during the shoot, the hug before the shoot and after the shoot, the interaction with such an amazing woman, who also looks good (from head to toe).

Also a remember when, remember when you had that crush on that teacher and they kept you distracted the whole class period. Its like it was never your teacher in like elementary school when you only had one teacher or they were your teacher for one period a day and you felt like that wasn't enough!!! I even stayed after school for some help when I had an A in the class already a few times (LOL)!!!
