<p>"All of the students put the test sheet to their faces and take a long “sniff”. "
OMG I had forgotten all about that!
Did anyone else have those white “shindig” boots?</p>
<p>I had white “go go” boots!</p>
<p>Does anyone remember “poor boy” shirts?</p>
<p>I remember being so excited to get one in the 3rd grade.</p>
<p>Winky Dink! It was so cool to “draw” on the t.v.!</p>
<p>I remember practically everything already mentioned on this list.</p>
<p>My daughter now has my Shirley Temple doll.</p>
<p>I remember putting a Winky Dink Screen on the TV so you could draw stuff to help Winky Dink.(KensingtonMom–you read my mind while I was typing this!)</p>
<p>Remember going up on the roof to see if we could see Sputnik up in the sky. And if you drove about an hour or so out of the city, you could still see a really star-filled Milky Way up there.</p>
<p>I remember elementary school units dedicated to welcoming Alaska and Hawaii as our new states. And the teacher bringing in a big radio to the classroom so we could hear countdowns for Apolllo launches.</p>
<p>Girls in Junior High School wore girdles to keep up their stockings --no pantyhose yet.</p>
<p>And of course, getting under our desks for “Take Cover” drills.</p>
<p>And when kids doing Junior Year Abroad in Europe normally took ocean liners across the Atlantic.</p>
<p>Alvin and the Chipmunks? Hoola hoops? When recording something on tape meant reel-to-reel audio? </p>
<p>Getting dressed up as a little girl around Easter meant a a new bonnet and white gloves.</p>
<p>pyewacket, your comment about Easter bonnets made me remember a matching hat and purse I had when I was about 8 that I adored! They had fake cherries on them and I had a dress to match! I loved that outfit and was so upset the following Easter when I had outgrown it. :)</p>
<p>Anyone remember Tom Terrific cartoons?</p>
<p>WOW, they are digging and hoping to find JIMMY HOFFA!!! From 1975 disappearance</p>
<p>I remember having only one dress at a time and that was the designated “church dress” – wore the same dress every Sunday. Received a new dress for Christmas, wore that every Sunday til Easter, then wore that dress every Sunday til Christmas. It must have looked a bit weird wearing a well worn “spring print” Easter dress on the December Sundays before Christmas.</p>
<p>alwaysamom- I LOVED Tom Terrific! He had that little inverted funnel for a hat, right? And Mighty Mouse came on after Tom Terrific, and Heckle and Jekyll after that!</p>
<p>Anyone remember “granny dresses” from around 1967?</p>
<p>My mom had a pet rock when she was younger, which I heard was a fad way back when. </p>
<p>Anyone else that old? :)</p>
<p>Earlier posts mentioned there were few or no low-fat products…I remember my neighbors always used “Golden Guernsey” milk, which had EXTRA fat, more than normal whole milk</p>
<p>To show how old I am, I think of pet rocks as relatively modern!</p>
<p>Dadofsam,
If I remember the age contest correctly, I think Greybeard won. He had us all beat by a secade or so, I believe.
Oh, and I think my ■■■■■ doll, with the long orange hair, is stored away somewhere near the 8 track tape of Loggins & Messina (yes, I still have that tape) and the old 45’s. Anyone willing to admit they watched the Monkees?</p>
<p>And patsmom-
Don’t forget Tom Teriffics’s mighty dog Manfred! I believe the cartoon was on the show “Andy’s Gang”- sponsored by scotch brand tape-- “we’re all pals, and pals stick together with Scotch brand magic tape”.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So Packmom why did you rate this record a 99?</p>
<p>I like the beat and it’s easy to dance to :)</p>
<p>Wonderama with Sonny fox</p>
<p>Wonderama with Bob McAllister- singing kids are people too</p>
<p>Chuck McCann- Little Orphan Annie</p>
<p>Gumby and Pokey</p>
<p>Brenda Starr and Winnie Winkle were career women</p>
<p>Hey my first rock concert was the MONKEES ( alas I don’t remember Hendrix- it may have been after he was pulled)
I remember racing home in 4th grade to watch
“Where the action is”( featuring Paul revere and the Raiders)
and Dark Shadows!</p>
<p>ooo…Barnabas Collins scared me to death. I could never sleep at night after watching Dark Shadows.</p>
<p>How about “The Partridge Family”? I was in love with David Cassidy!</p>
<p>My first concert…Pablo Cruise…anybody remember them?</p>
<p>But Quentin Collins was dreamy!</p>
<p>Someone mentioned Bobby Sherman–so I have to put in a plug for “Here Come the Brides.” </p>
<p>My first concert was Gilbert O’Sullivan, then, I think, Chicago. My taste improved soon after that.</p>
<p>I saw Chicago when they were Chicago Transit Authority, double-billed with the Jeff Beck group (Rod Stewart on Vocals) at Eagles Auditorium.</p>
<p>…when Memorial Day was called “Decoration Day.”</p>
<p>“This reminds me of the original “car seats”… remember them? just a box like structure that had these two metal hooks that slipped on the front car seat.”</p>
<p>I’ve been scrolling this board, laughing at all the memories… but this one really hit me. I thought I was the only person who remembers this! I was 6 when my sister was born, and I remember her being 1 or 2 years old, in this kind of car seat… in the middle of the front seat, between my parents. Why was this important? After years have having the back seat to myself before she was born, and then having to share the back seat with her in a bassinet when she was an infant (another completely unsafe apparatus), I had my backseat all to myself again for a while!</p>
<p>I loved Barnabas- so conflicted ;)</p>
<p>oh Jeff Beck-<B Blow by Blow is my favorite
I saw Heart at the Goldcreek arena- ( where they ride horses)
and one of my favorite things in jr high & high school was to go to the Lake hills roller rink where they would have dancing on Sat night- Tower of Power was a frequent act- </p>
<p>and some good friends won the very first MTV basement tapes awards-the old big hair - heavy metal style( but check out Terrys boots! they are in Paul Allens Experience music project museum)<a href=“http://www.railonline.net/[/url]”>http://www.railonline.net/</a>
they were quite popular in the Northwest and apparently still are?</p>
