SPOOLIES!! OMG how could I forget spoolies?? Remote control - YES we had one - really fancy but it had a long cord that connected to the TV but we thought it was pretty cool!
Did you guys wear GYM SUITS for PE?They had to seriously shop for the ugliest things they could find. One school we had puke green one piece numbers with tabs on the side to pull in the waist and bloomer-like bottoms of the legs. HID - E - US beyond belief!! Did you have reading level groups at elementary school? Like the Robins, Bluebirds and Canarys, etc. Did you have milktime where someone would bring in the case of milk - some special government program I think and it came in little glass bottles with a cardboard top that if you didn't get the tab just right, the cardboard went IN and the milk shot OUT??
Tuesdays were savings bond days so we could bring in our dimes or quarters to pay on our savings bonds...
Did you iron your long hair to straighten it? Wear fishnet stocking?? Oh those were SO COOL but they hurt when you bent your knees!! My legs were...uh...plush..and stuck out the diamonds..YES and textured nylons!!!..they were sheer but had fancy patterns in them.
Back with a few more!...I remember in elementary school having drills for tornados and also films about nuclear fallout but I never knew what it was but only it was scary and we had to have drills for that too, and our basement at home, my mom kept water and groceries in case we had "fallout"
Macrame!! Cords and beads to make these plant hangers and also beads on strips to put up in doorways - that was WAY COOL!!
Something to play with was a tub of powder and you added water and it made SLIME - Fun!!!
