Awesome memories, After comparing my childhood and growing up years to todays kids, its a miracle I made it to my 18th birthday.
And....The TV shows were the best. Black and White was all we knew, and how did we ever get along with only one TV in the house and no remote control???? |

Does anyone remember American Bandstand ? ... or Shirley Temple ...
..... dang all of a sudden I feel a bit old :cry: :cry: ... I can remember all of these shows and remember how I felt when Dad would let us watch the 'boob tube' - excited :D , because TV was a waste of good time that could be spent working or cleaning :roll: ... Remember the tubes inside the TV ... that only the TV repair man could change out ? .. Those were the good days :wink: |

Ain't that the truth! The kids now don't know how to "Play", everthing they have plays for them! We spent half a summer playing with the box when my neighbor got a new refrigerator. It was everthing from a fort to a "sled" that we pulled each other around on with a horse. We set up our own rodeos and parades and built a tree house out in the woods with scraps we found around the neighborhood. We made up our own stuff to do! We didn't have Mom driving us all over the place, we walked or rode our bikes. And any of the neighbors could discipline us and then we got it again when we got home.
I can't believe the way I hear kids talk to their parents now. I wouldn't have had a tooth left in my head if I talked to my Mom that way! And how many of you have had you mouth washed out with soap???? |

:lol: I remember using the box as a sled, at the top of the stairs. I put my brother in front, I shouldn't laugh, but I remember he wasn't right for the rest of the day. Those were the days!!! |

I remember those well. How bout "Kill the guy with the ball". We used a football tossed it up in the air, whoever caught it had to avoid everybody else (could have been 5or6 of us)for as long as he could, while holding the football. Basically turned into a football style game but with 5 or so kids against 1 with the ball. Got pretty physical and brutal, or a similar game "Smear the Queer", wouldnt be Polically Correct today, to be yelling that out. |

Smear the Queer, that brings the memory back. Did you ever play Army with the Daisy BB guns, smoke bombs and fireworks? Like you said, if you did any of that now and days, you'd have someones parents lawyers all over you. Now and days, your lucky if the kids go outside. |

Can you imagine having only 13 channels to watch before cable? I remember how often my parents would yell at us for turning the knob on the tv too fast. :oops:
Try buying toys today that don't run on batteries. That's what I told everyone this Christmas. No toys that need batteries. |
