Good Grief - I remember all that ... how about turning the handle on the phone to get the operator and then just telling her who you wanted to talk to? Didn't need the number, she knew everybody in town and everybody's business!

Don't forget the 2 holer out by the barn with the cresent moon on the door! At night when you went, you could see a thousand little eyes looking at you= spiders, praying mantis and other assorted creepy crawlers.

Here's some more good memories:

Dime store used to give you a free tootsie roll pop if you turned in a wrapper with a full picture of the indian with bow and arrow shooting the star.

Everyone wanted to be on A&W Root Beers peewee baseball team cause if you won you got free root beer. A&W drive ups, any still around? Papa Burgers, Mama Burgers, baby burgers and the best root beer in glass muggs on a tray hanging from your car window.

How about the small town butcher shops with the fresh meat case for retail sale and the butcher wearing the white apron and hat (red stained of course)? I think the USDA has clamped down on these small shops now and regulations for them makes it too expensive for retail.

Jim, now how could I have forgotten those two holers!/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif After us boys blowing up one with dynomite, and burning a couple down because the pitch caught fire from us burning newspaper on cold nights....I'm amazed at forgetting them!/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
Did anyone mention listening to the Lone Ranger, Cisco Kid, Green Hornet (?) on the radio in the evenings? Dad was smart (?), never got a TV until we were all grown and out the door! Got rid of them stupid milk cows too, as well as built a bathroom in the house complete with bathtub!!!

PDXMAN, I showed my 8 yr old and 4yr old the indian shooting at the star. They always look for it now.

Scruffy, my dad waited until I moved out to get a tractor, not a TV. Why should he get a tractor when he had me?!

Scruffy, are you sure that little packet wasn't red? Then when mixed, the whole thing was yellow to look like butter? I guess I am getting old because the only thing I found in all these lists that I wasn't personally familiar with was the kick start washing machine./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Gary, back in even the mid-fifties a lot of men used hair oil to make their hair stay in place when they combed it, and when the butch, flat top, or crew cut hair styles came into style, butch wax was what you used to make it stand up straight.

Take the wrapper off of a tootsie pop and look at all of the kids doing different things. One of them is a kid in an indian costume shooting a bow and arrow at a star.

Bird, danged if I know, never saw one up close an' personal so to speak! Like I said, we made our own butter. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
You mean you never had an ol' gas engined Maytag wringer washer? Wow! Boy do I remember those things! Got my arm stuck in one clear up to the shoulder when I was about 4 or 5.
Dad had to tear the wringer apart to get my arm out. Didn't dry it off, figured it was wrung out enough!/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
