Remember When....................................

Posted: 10/10/04 at 10:22pm

We got up to change a TV channel. Doctors made house calls. Carbs were good for you. We walked into a bank to do a transaction with a teller. Food took a long time to cook in an oven. We played records. No one had a computer at home. We read books because we didnt have computers. We wrote letters. We got dressed up to fly on a plane. People met us at the airport. Children didnt call adults by their first names. You couldnt say Tampon on TV. Anybody want to add to this list?

How about, the only way to see a movie was at the theater.

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." Conan O'Brien

This is WAY before my time, but when a computer couldn't fit into your home.

Eve bit into that apple and we realized we were naked.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Movie matinees were cheaper than evening shows.

A person would "dial" a phone and the cool buzz sound that the dial made.

People had party lines on their telephone.

The only diet soda was Tab.

People who were flying had to walk from the terminal across the tarmac to the plane.

Soda cans had removable tabs that you could take off and wear as a ring.

Children chewed red pills to show them where they hadn't brushed their teeth and plaque was building up.

TV shows had 35 new episodes in one season.

Banks used to give cool gifts for opening accounts.

Grocery stores used to give stamps that you could save up for gifts. Did your family collect Triple S Blue stamps or S&H Green Stamps?

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Oh sorry. I thought they were discontinued during the red dye scare of the late 70's when they took away all the maraschino cherries off of everyone's ice cream sundaes.

Yeah, and M&M's dye wasn't even the type that was on the scare list. They just discontinued the red ones to alleviate the scare.

Remember back when wireless internet didn't exist, and cellphones didn't have cameras in them? And Britney Spears had natural breasts?

Wow. Those were the days.

She still does have natural breasts. I don't believe those fake ones sag when you're not wearing a bra. That's my proof anyway.

I'm inclined to believe you Rath, although fake ones should sag, just that they should still have a perfect half-sphere shape...just lower on their chest.

Nope. I don't see that happenin' on her. Also, if they were fake, she probably wouldn't have to use cutlets for concerts and photo shoots and appearances. Just guessing.
