Did she definitely use cutlets? (Note to self to pick a pair up.)

I love rotary phones! I still use one! But it's not designed for a 21st-century attention span. I'll dial 2-tick-tick, 7-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick, 3-tick-tick-tick - oh sh1t, where was I? (Premature alzheimers?)

I loved the sound of rotary phones. My grandmother (who looked a lot like Shirley Booth) used to have a black rotary phone that I would sit and dial just to hear the sound.

Yeah, Tiff. You can tell the huge difference between paparazzi pics and professional ones.

I have a black rotary phone! It really is a fun noise, just not good when you've got a phone number to dial with a repetition of digits. Then it gets too confusing for this teeny mind.

Rath, I'll be sure to check Star, US, People and the Enquirer tomorrow at hte grocery store. Regardless of the boobs, Brit's got a great bod. I slam her, but I bet if I had that figure, I'd be a nudist.

She does have a great body. Lucky for her, she gets paid a lot of money to keep it that way. Even so, it's a lot of work, I'm sure.

Speaking of telephones..........I remember when you dialed with a name before the number. My first phone number I can remember was in 1959. It was Atlantic6-8403. Then it was shortened to AT6-8403 . Then 286-8403. Those names were nice.

Drive In Movies. As I child we wore our pajamas and camped out in the back of the station wagon.

There are still some drive-ins out there. God bless 'em.

Remember when people actually worked during the day rather than play on message boards?

I remember going door to door in my Girl Scout Uniform selling cookies. Chocolate Mint or Savannahs anyone? They were also 35 cents a box then.

[nobizlikeshobiz]

Posted: 10/11/04 at 5:49pm

wow, they're like three dollars a box now, I think. My little sister is a girlsscout and she just gets the grandparents to buy like, 20 boxes and then we buy like 80 so she can get the prize.

When you couldn't say Bitch on TV! Or when it was safe for the kids to play outside until the sun came down or when the kids would actually go outside cause there was nothing better inside!

Movie Palces. Spending the afternoon or evening at the theater watching a movie, cartoon,newreel, trailer ( not 5000 plus commercials) & movie

To think in Times Square there were 6 or 7 palaces & now there are none. What a pity

So many uniquely georgeous buildings now gone

1. Michigan - Detroit
2. Paramount - NYC
3. Roxy - NYC
4. Capitol - NYC
5. Grenada - Chicago
6. Paramount - Toledo
7. Fox - San Francisco
8. Southtown - Chicago
9. Paradise - Chicago
10.Mastbaum - Philadelphia

"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. "

What? I don't recall any 'red dye scare'... do explain

anyways to add to the list of "remember when's"

When little kids played with simple things like blocks and stuffed animals instead of complicated musical robotic whatever like now

When the OBC of Rent was still on Broadway... (Oh wait, nevermind )

There were actually prizes in the Cracker Jacks boxes and not a flimsy piece of paper

Hee. Actually, when I was in Israel the TV not only had no remote, the buttons to change the channels were numbered 1-10 because the manufacturers couldn't conceive of a TV having more than 10 channels. Which made sense, since we had about 3-4 channels at any given time. :)

My elementary school's public phone was rotary, and to my mortification I couldn't figure out how to use it for about 5 minutes the first time I tried.

Well, it's funny in retrospect.

NoDay, in the late 1970's there was a scare on red dye #2. They were saying that it caused cancer or birth defects or something like that. So immediately all products that had red dye in them were pulled from the market. This mostly included such great things as maraschino cherries and red M&Ms.

The 1970s were a really bad time to grow up because there were a lot of shortages.

Gas shortage
sugar shortage
coffee shortage
fashion sense shortage
