Quote HistoryQuoted: " Allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery" Ash trays in the grocery store aisles (and cigarette butts on the floor  ).EVERY business with linoleum or carpeted flooring had cigarette burn marks on the floor. Just about every dining establishment had burn marks on the tables (even when they still had ashtrays on every one). Definitely don't miss that BS. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 7th or 8th grade our shop class divided into segments wood, metal, craft, engine. For the "Craft" project I picked leather, normally if you picked that it was a few wallets or a book binder. I made a leather rifle case, I carried my .22 rifle to school to custom fit it. Mrs Baxter could field-strip & assemble a 1911 in 14 seconds.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: School House Rock Rotary Phones Columbia house 20 albums for a penny scam Milk Delivery Society NOT being fat Devious buddy figured out a counte4 scam for that. Signed up, got the 20 for a penny. Calls them a few weeks later and says he's going to be overseas for 1-2 years with the Peace Corps in some 3rd world hole and asks if they can ship the future (required) plan purchases there. They reply, "Sorry, we don't ship there. We're just going to go ahead and cancel your membership plan". A few months later, a-hole would rinse and repeat. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My 1975 Blazer the lap belts were just that, belts bolted to the frame through the floor with large bolt. Remember in the 80's when some dodge cars had automatic seat belts. Most annoying shit int he world. Work to even get in the car without the seat belt on. The kind that slid along the door frame? And every once in a while, if someone was leaning out the open window chatting and made the mistake of opening the door, it would try to strangle them?

Quote HistoryQuoted: ha... I remember the first microwave we got... maybe around 83-ish.... my mom got it from her dad(like a hand-me-down)... it had no buttons, it had a dial to heat, and it was HUGE... like you could cook a turkey in it.. And heavy, like 100lbs heavy. When you turned it on, the lights in the house dimmed, like in the prison movies with electric chairs. |

No safety devices in the house like smoke detectors or CO detectors.
You never wore a helmet except for batting and football. No childproof bottles/caps. You didn't have to put your foot on the brake to start a car No Starbucks ,no iced coffees. Dunkin used have doughnuts in their name and they were fresh and edible then. |
