[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 243632, member: 135"] I remember bringing my sled to school when it snowed and we'd all sled down the hill into the street. I'm sure that wouldn't be allowed now. I was in second grade before we got TV. I remember Howdy Doody, Pinky Lee, Dragnet, Highway Patrol, I Love Lucy, December Bride and Perry Como. Later came Cheyenne and Sugarfoot. My favorite toy was a cap gun and I had a horse made from an old broomstick; my did drilled a hole through to tie on a string for the reins. I remember seeing President Eisenhower come on TV and everybody would gather around to see what the crisis was. For the Fourth of July we had sparklers and black snakes and these neat things you threw against the sidewall to get them to explode. It's a wonder we didn't blow our toes off. I remember getting out of school for a day to watch the inauguration of President Kennedy. And school being canceled when I was in high school after he was assasinated. I remember going to the dime store and they had a big counter with glass partitions and you could buy however many ounces you wanted of different kinds of candy (I always liked the peanut clusters). And the colored sugar water in the wax bottles that you chewed afterwards. I also remember, when I was in grade school, that they loaded us all up and took us to another school so we could all be given a polio immunization. I mentioned that to my (young) manicurist the other day and she said, "What's polio?" Thank God some things have changed. And I remember Dick and Jane and Sally and Spot and Puff from my first reading books. Yup, I'm pretty old! [/QUOTE]
