Golden oldie memories

I am sharing this with you today because the email ends with a double dog dare to pass it on. To remember what a double dog dare is, read on. And remember that the perfect age is somewhere between old enough to know better and too young to care. How many of these do you remember?

Do you remember a time when...

Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'?

Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, 'Do Over!'?

'Race issue' meant arguing about who ran the fastest?



Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening?


It wasn't odd to have two or three 'Best Friends'?
!

The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was 'cooties' ?



Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot?

Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute commercials for action figures?


'Oly-oly-oxen-free' made perfect sense?


Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause for giggles?


The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team?


War was a card game?


Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle?



Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin?


Water balloons were the ultimate weapon?


If you can remember most or all of these, then you have lived!!!!!!!

Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their 'grown-up' life . . .
I double-dog-dare-ya!

I do remember some of these...

I DO REMEMBER MOST OF THESE BUT HAVE NO CLUE AS TO THIS ONE HERE... ANY IDEAS ANYONE

Telephone numbers with a word prefix (Tuxedo 2-2140).

I remember most of them...ugh!

I have really lived!!!

I remember some of them as well , I'm getting a little old

That's pretty old...my mother used to say her childhood phone # with the prefix on it...it was when you dialed the operator to get a line out and just told them the prefix and # and they rang it for you.

thanks for ageing me lol

I remember my grandparents old rotary had
three letters before the numbers. I think it
is just the way the numbers were displayed back then.

Now a days they have it just the opposite like:
1-800-Dial-a- babe (sorry only one I could think of at the moment)

I helped my mother clean out the attic last winter and found the box with my metal clamp skates...I told her, "MOM! I cant find my skate keys!" just like I used to do when I was a kid. She thought it was hysterical and said..."How many times have I told you to keep it around your neck!"
