[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 733557, member: 4152"] I perused this thread...a lot of fun! I’m not sure I have done a ton of “old fashion” type things....but the more I think of it....there were definitely some! We did do green stamps. I did wrap my hair around my head with a giant roller on top and sleep this way I did have a hair dryer bonnet you stay under My mom did go to the beauty parlor every Saturday for a roller set like it was a religion for decades We had those Swanson TV dinners for emergency meals and I secretly loved them and wished we could have them more often. Fried chicken, mashed potato section and a cherry dessert! We had Star Trek night at my house and mom would make blue berry turnovers. We had a box by our front door for the milkman . The milk was in GLASS containers Our family car, a 57 Chevy , was Turquiose color ...lol I use to make brownies from scratch. Good grief...crazy delicious. Penny loafers...actually put a penny in them :) PS Did you guys know training wheels on kids bikes might be becoming obsolete? I’ll try to look up the name. Now young kids balance as best as they can and drag their feet instead on tiny bikes without those back training wheels. Also, fall a lot. I think they are called “balance bikes.” [/QUOTE]
