13. Howdy Doody - remember born in big city urban heck (StL) brought up in a small town heck (Joplin) - hey a Joplin tv station JUST TOOK OFF THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW AFTER RUNNING IT CONTINUOUSLY WITH RERUNS SINCE THE 1960'S FOR CHRISSAKES!!! Of COURSE I saw Howdy Doody - in reruns, not live...
14. 45 RPM records - I still have some - everyone knows its Wendy…and the song Fox on the Run - won them by calling into a radio station contest back in the 70's! I still have 8-Tracks forchrissakes (John Lennon's Double Fantasy - his last album before he was killed...)
15. S&H Green Stamps - I actually think we still have a book of them or the yellow stamps, we used to have a&p stores here in StL and they gave our green stamps. And Milgram's stores out of KC (now Price Choppers) in Joplin and Springfield that gave out the yellow stamps and Safeway (when they were still here in both StL, KC, Columbia, Joplin and Springfield) gave out the green stamps too. I have a set of dishes my mom got w/stamps that I still have. There's still a Milgram's left in KC MILGRAM'S FOOD STORE, 6327 BROOKSIDE PLZ, KANSAS CITY, MO (816) 523-7700.
16 Hi-fi's - still own one…though the turntable is broken...
17. Metal ice trays with lever - my mom still has one too...
18. Mimeograph paper - I started going to school in the 70's when they still had these, I remember people used to like to go pick up the mimeographed tests and such just to get a contact high from the ink…a freshly mimeographed test always smelled funky. Didn’t know why until I worked in a photolab when I first moved back up to StL in the late 80's and started developing C-41 process film...
19 Blue flashbulb20. Packards - almost answered yes since we owned many AMC vehicles, like Gremlins, Pacers, Ambassadors, etc… They got eaten by Chrysler.
21. Roller skate keys
22. Cork popguns - bought Charlie one during the Lewis and Clark reconstruction event in St Chuckie about a year or so back...
23. Drive-ins - for those who know, there is still one drive in left in St Louis. The Skyview drive in on Belt in Belleville, IL. I LOVE drive in theatres!!!!
24. Studebakers - once again almost answered yes since what was left of Studebaker save for one plant in Youngstown Ohio became part of AMC, then Chrysler...
25. Wash tub wringers - grandmother had one...
If you remembered 0-5 = You're still young
If you remembered 6-10 = You are getting older
If you remembered 11-15 = Don't tell your age,
If you remembered 16-25 = You're older than dirt!
You should get points off if you were brought up in the MidWest - especially in the RURAL MidWest…(grin!) Alas, such is life! I answered 16 - therefore I am older than dirt…but….
I might be older than dirt but those memories are the best part of my life.Don't forget to pass this along!!Especially to all your really OLD friends....
"Senility Prayer".
..God grant me...The senility to forget the people I never liked
The good fortune to run into the ones that I do
And the eyesight to tell the difference."
Have a great week!!!!!!
