I remember 14 of them. I LOVED the S & H Green Stamp store...I also liked putting them in the books.

Richard,

OMG, you brought back SOOOOO many memories for me!! The green stamps, wow! My grandmother bought my brother his first guitar with books of greenstamps!!

I remember ALL of them!!! I remember ironing my hair (almost burnt it once). I also remember my Mom using the coke bottle with the holes in it before they had steam irons.

You took me down memory lane, Richard. Thank you. As much as I should be taking a DIRTY NAP right now, it definitely put a smile on my face.

I also remember gas being $.39 a gallon. Remember drive-in movies? I used to go to them with my parents in my pj's. We'd bring out pillow and blankets and fall asleep in the back seat. I also remember the phone numbers. My granparents number was Chapel 49970. That was in Connecticut at the time.

Thanks for the memories!!

I remembered ZERO!

Does that mean I'm still very young? *sigh* No ancient experience.

A word before a phone number?!?! I never knew something like that EVER existed!

Oh to be young again! **sigh** Yes, many decades ago our home telephone number was Hemlock-42245 so you dial HE4-2245. And get this, no area code.

PCB you are very young but when you get to be my age you'll look at your kids and tell them about video tapes and the fact that cars used to use gasoline. Patience girl, you'll get there soon enough.

Are those the ones that folded over to keep your hair inside? Awful to sleep on

OMG, to think I am older than dirt.

It's even scarier that I still USE metal ice trays with lever.
Still have my roller skates with the key and glass milk bottles.

Also to think that our milk was delivered in a wagon pulled by a horse. We would wait outside for the milkman cause we always had a carrot for the horse whose name was Dolly.

Remember the old wringer washing machines? Where there were two wringers on top so you could put your clothes through to press the water out of them cause there was no spin cycle.

The only one that I did not remember was "Butch Wax"

Older Than Dirt!!!!!

Freckles,

[lizbud]

Delidog,

I had four brothers so that's why I remembered "Butch Wax" .
The boys all wore their hair in buzz cuts or crew cuts and used
this gooey wax stuff to make it stick up in front. Cool huh?

I just realized I'm as old as a deck of cards. Thank God I had my afternoon nap! I remember sticking my finger in the wringer washer to see if it would get flat. It didn't, but ouch. I remember we left our doors open or unlocked all the time, cars too. I remember black and white TV's..do they still make them? Mono vinyl records, no stereos...Transitor radios ..AM only...I'm stopping now, all this thinking is shorting out my old brain.
