one thing you never see anymore and that's attendants at guy stations that come out and pump your gas for you or wash your windshields We have acouple of the full service staitions up north of where I live, but they jack the gas price by about 20 to 30 cents per gallon

Nickle Nips!!
They were small,bottle shaped wax containers that you drank a small shot of cool-aide type drink from. You had to bite the end off and suck down the contents!! |

Oh man, I used to chew the wax up and use it as spitball fodder (till I got the gym teacher (aka sherman tank) in the nose with one, lol) |

Ah yes, Gas Station Attendants, never see them anymore for sure! I married one a long long time ago, although he went on to get a college education, those were the days.
You don't see kids playing outside thier homes, jumping rope or playing red rover or Riding their bikes to the candy store. I love the sound of that candy store in Romeo, sounds like a blast to the past for sure. |

You dont see girls/boys taking their dates home to meet mom and dad anymore either
That tradition has been gone for decades, but I'll tell ya what. Even though I did not ask permission to date my ex-wife, I DID visit and meet the entire family. I then took her home to meet my parents. |

I miss that! The street cleaner used to be part of the public works office, but they got rid of the job as unnecessary most places, and where they kept it the ywent to using gas burnig, smog belching machines that do more harm to the environment than simply leaving the trash on the ground did. |

the Fuller Brush Man.....Selling home cleaning supplies
The Cook Coffee Man...The Wal-Mart on wheels of the 50`s Door to door milkmen, breadmen,.. we had a grocery store in the back yard. my mom still ordered off of the milk man and the bread man, because they were friends of our family. You don`t find loyalty like that now a days. |

Ah yes, the milkman, how I miss him
 What I don't miss - and that is the door-to-door salesmen, selling anything and everything from vaccums to encyclopedias.

You never see families going out into the woods and actually camping in tents and roughing it anymore. Now everyone takes an rv, hooks up to a concrete slab with water and electric available and amillion moer slabs around you. A convenience store right on site for you to get what yuo need or want, with an arcade room. The most rustic they get is a communal toilet and shower. Now me, I would rather go into the woods, pitch a tent (this means set a tent up in the proper position lol, not throw it away). Find a creek or river bed to catch fish for dinner, and bathe in. Go hiking and watch the stars come out at night. have bonfires (well protected of course, and even with this setting I agree with having a fire extinguisher available). One campground I went to as a kid was called yogi bear national campground or soethinglike that. They had some campers but was primarily tents. They did have an arcade and general store, but they were also in the middle of the woods by a loke, and they ahd an outdoor "theatre". At least tehy tried to include nature and the great outdoors. Better yet, go with a few friends and set up a ring of tents in the woods like I described above. You can not imagine how fun AND RELAXING it is. while this is true....but go out to Wyoming...Grand Teton and Yellowstone have tons of campers. I love camping...in an actual tent, hiking etc etc...I'm going to make sure my children enjoy it to (lol even if they don't...I'm hoping they will)...and no I don't have children...but tis my goal I have two, you want one?  well I'd say I do but I have this feeling you really love them so....LOL....and plus while I want them I must admit I'm really not set in life to have them....LOL for one I need the guy...another I'd like my finances to be just a little better....So I'll go to my parents and visit the two that I helped raise and be happy
