Remember When ...

[ohalexSC22]

Loke, you are too cute!! I bet every teacher loved having you as a student!!

And there's another update this Friday with a guest photographer!

Yes No Face, I remember when classrooms used chalk boards and chalk!! Washing the chalk board was one of those "jobs" we were eager for our turn to do!

Remember when using a calculator in math was 'cheating?'

[noface]

...along those lines; remember when you used a 'slide rule' for math?!

[ohalexSC22]

Remember when you had to use a tv/game computer switch to play games on the computer?

Loke you are SO funny! Lol!! I love me some Loke too!!

And yeah Sultry I remember playing Monopoly and Life!

I'm into my kindle but remember when reading a book meant actually turning pages?

[loke693]

Alex,

You were talking about your kindle and reading books by turning pages. I remember when we had to use the Dewey Decimal System to find books in the library!!!

I know I'll always love me some Oh Alex!!!

How about this one...

Remember when you never saw an ad for anything related to Christmas or the Holiday Season until after the Macy's Parade was done? To that end, remember the little Norelco Santa, in black & white, sledding down the hill in the shaver top?

[ohalexSC22]

GOOD ONES!! I remember that commercial!

Remember when all T.V.s had "tubes"? And how bulky they were?

[loke693]

Remember school lunches had the square pizza's. And how much we hated school, but now how we would love to go back to those days, where we have a lot less responsibilities. How gym was a required course and you had recess most days!!!


Loke

[ohalexSC22]

Yes, Hamburger pizza! YUM! And we had those ugly one piece jumpers to wear for gym.

And the boys used to pull the girl's pony tails!

And the girls used to roll their skirt waist bands to make their skirts shorter...

Makin' out at the drive in - I think they should bring the drive ins back!! Remember how you'd miss the whole movie because you were making out? Lol.

[RopePhotog]

God do I remember drive-ins! We had one in the town I live in and I remember trying to see the movie "The Fog", three times, never did end up seeing it. Remember the concession stand short films, the hot dog doing the flip into the bun?

[ohalexSC22]

LOL! Now that's gonna date me, *giggling!* I do remember the hot dog flip!! I also remember fogging up the windows....

Remember being nervous on your first date with someone special?

[Candy Kisses SC3]

I came late to the conversation and skipped to the end so maybe it has already been mentioned but anyway...do you remember when we had to go to school in any kind of weather?

[ohalexSC22]

Hi Candy Kisses - you're right, I had forgotten all about that! I don't remember having any a/c in the classrooms either...

[noface]

I don't know maybe they still have some but...
remember when teachers used blackboards and chalk?

[ohalexSC22]

Yes I remember that NoFace! Chalk boards, chalk and once in a while a projector was used.

Who remembers the papers that were handed out at school that were done on the mimeograph? So the lettering was all purple?

Mother was a teacher and we had one of those copiers in our basement. The ink had this addictive smell to it (LOL)!!!

What about before all the houses or buildings had central air and you use to put a fan in the window and you would just circulate the heat in a room or bring the heat from outside, into a room. And then on top of that, some of your relatives had the couch or furniture with the plastic on it and it was hot (LOL)!!!


Loke

[ohalexSC22]

OUCH!! That plastic DID get hot AND it stuck to you when you were wearing shorts!! YIKES!

Who remembers when paper bags were the only option at the grocery stores? And using those as book covers for school books?
