That is wonderful to still have an attendant at the gas station, I would love that.
Does anyone remember the S&H Green stamp? My mother would save them and paste into books and then redeem them at the Stamp Center for merchandise??? Wow, that is a trip in the past.

Ladybug, My mom did that, too! I remember her getting blankets with indian designs on them. They were pretty nice thick blankets! Amazing when you think about how that was done.

Summerlady: Yes, my mother would get her heart set on someting like a fancy candy dish or gravy boat, I can't remember all the stuff because there was a catalog she got and she would pick something out or see it at the store to save stamps for. So cool.

Did someone already mention the tootsie roll wrappers, that if it had an Indian on it shooting an arrow with a star, you got a free tootsie roll sucker? Not sure if they did that everywhere, but they did here in Austin, Texas.

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  That's the great thing about my offer!!! for taking both boys at this time, not only do you get the joy of raising two boys, but the father comes with! he does the hosuework. he does the cooking (he actually prefers to do the cooking himself). He even does diapers (althogh the two boys in question are long past that stage in life, lol). |

Anybody old enough to remember using the F keys on the keyboard - on a REGULAR basis?
Or how about manual typewriters? And those round erasers with the brushes attached? How 'bout carbon paper? Mimeographs? Remember the smell of mimeographs? |

Teri, now you are really bringing back memories. Did you ever use an old word processor? I remember the first fax machines with rolls of shiny paper and it cut the paper off when done. I remember the old typewriters, that is how I learned in school and the carbon paper, how I hated to correct when using that stuff.

 Yeah, you used that round eraser and ALWAYS got holes in the paper.
