Remember when................................?

[Jason Freeland]

Staying out till the street lights came on with no CPS involved.

 

[Gadsden]

Since the day is fast approaching. Trick or Treating without being chaperoned or having to go to a controlled environment and getting loads of candy without any concern that it had been tampered with.

Milk (and other dairy items like butter) delivered to your home in glass bottles with a paper cap.

 

[Pstmstr]

When you behaved in school and on the bus or you got paddled or kicked off the bus.

 

[TinkerTanker]

Catching grasshoppers with snot running down both arms (hay fever) in grass meadows as high as my head, in fields that nobody owned and weren't fenced, and then fishing all day enjoying nature.

Playing baseball in the middle of town with other dirty kids and having random adults yell/cheer you on or yell at you.

Basic manners from almost everyone.

Happy people.

STYLISH cars that you were proud to be seen in

Just a few off the top of my head

Tar babies.
Laredo Cigarette machine.
Finding a hubcap walking in to town. From a caddy it might be 5 bucks, enough to buy a brick of Federal .22LR
Pop bottle rocket wars.

 

[Shadowrider]

Drinking from the water hose.

We all did it. We all did it often. We all lived...
