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.


gas station attendants...apparently in wyoming and other parts of the west have them.

and where do you live I see that all the time here....NOW I will admit not as much as when even I was a kid...us kids would play out on the streets all the time without a worry...just a careful eye...but now they play in their backyards...I think its the parents too...they need to get out and play with their children...I mean give them their time...to build imagination but also have time to play too. If you find you don't have time you do...I work 65-80 hours a week at a job forty minutes away from my parents house...I don't live at my parents but I'd come home during the summer and find time to play with the kids...even if its only once a week...do you realize how much that means to a child??? I do...my dad was a traveling sales engineer and he made time for me...it sometimes was once every two weeks but when he was home he and I became 'buddies' in tons of stuff (football, love of ships, swimming, flying, Nascar, baseball, he even helped with my horse when I got him)...

Okay whoa
sorry
that was a rant

you rarely see kids playing outside like I did, outside all the time. Where I am living now they don't even have sidewalks, that is something they don't put in new subdivisions either, such a shame, maybe people would walk around the block more, eh?

I don't remember Body on Tap, but I recall VO5 and Pert; I think I saw Pert in the store once; and oh yes, every man got soap-on-a-rope at Christmas.bigsmile

oh my yes...now I'll agree with the graduates make change...I'm a supervisor in retail at another job I was assistant manager...and no matter how many times I tell people to count back the change as if the register had fallen apart they still only really just hand over the money...they don't even count it as they give it back...grrrrrrrrrrrrrr....I mean the item was 4.25 they give you a ten...how hard is it to say seventy five is five and five is ten...

ughhh and it annoys me in the above case if I'd given the quarter after they already put in just the ten in the register...use your brains people...I mean I understand when its very very very busy and you've been working the same long hours I do at work and sometimes it just throws you off...but seriously its not that hard to take the quarter and give me a dollar....

(yep another rant...I train too many employees who just never get it to not rant)

Actually in this little corner of Pa. we can get Pert shampoo, and also there is a long-time family owned neighborhood gas station that has attendants that clean your windshield while they pump gas. You can also get your car worked on there. It is the only one that I know of in this area.

Does anyone remember getting free dishes in laundry detergent boxes or at the gas station with a fill-up?

Calculators that are as big as your fist. (I had one - my first calculator was 5 lbs and the size of my hand. Cost $25)
