Memory Lane

With all our progress, don't you just wish, just once, you could slip back in time and savor the slower pace, and share it with today’s children?
Do you remember...

- When it took three minutes for the TV to warm up and you had to actually get up to go change a channel?
- When a quarter was a decent allowance? And made with real Silver!

- You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking, all for free, every time? And you didn't pay for air? And got trading stamps to boot!
- Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box?

- When no one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the ignition, and the doors were never locked?
- When stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic seals because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger?

- Summers filled with bike rides, hula hoops.

- Remember soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles.

- Coffee shops with table side jukeboxes.
- Remember home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard
stoppers. 

- Black telephones.
- 45 RPM records.

- Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot?
- Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute commercials for action figures? 

-Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin?

- Water balloons were the ultimate weapon?

  
It's nice to remember most of these!!!!!!!
