I thought this may be a fun thread for all the 40+ crowd here! I'll start: Remember when you could not wait to go to the drug store and get your photo's you dropped off a week ago? Remember when you were a kid at the gas station with your mom or dad? Two guys ran out to your car, checked the oil, washed the windows, filled your tank and would not let you leave without a handfull of Blue Chip stamps and a coffee mug!
remember when you thought you knew somebody and they turned out to be something completely different? and cold, glass bottled milk on the doorstep.
Remember when the Fox channel was the liberal channel, trying new things with Al Bundy and The Simpsons?
Remember when we were able to fill up the gas tank and still get change from the $10 we pre-paid with!?
The principal of my elementary school had a paddle that everyone in the school as afraid of and he used it!
