[QUOTE="YFCvii, post: 163850, member: 3252"] Do you know why there was a quick demise of the "Milk Chutes" (that's what we called it) ? It was very easy access to unlock the back door by THIEVES ... - buying "lady fingers" at the corner store - plastic cap bombs (rockets that you put a round cap into and threw in the air) - household credit at the corner store was a IOU note taped on the wall behind the counter - Woodwards - going to the record section at the department store to check the arranged weekly top 100 hits and be able to buy the 45rpm on-the-spot - fixing a match cover on your bike frame with a clothes peg to make the "motor sound" - modifying your 3-speed mustang bike with a taller sissy-bar - collecting hockey cards from the gas station with every fill - all youth hockey was community based and ... OUTDOORS ... and the "zamboni" was your parents ... breaks between periods was for thawing your feet. - playing "war" with a piece of wood carved to look like a gun - GI Joe - TV with rabbit ears - You could fix almost anything and make a Career of it. - A doctor visit AT HOME - Flying a Kite without being told to go and do it ... - Saturday night was the only night for ... HOCKEY NIGHT in CANADA - Being able to play in-the-middle of the Street ... (CaaaaaaaaaaaR) - the Drive-in Movie intermissions with the animated cartoon hot dog jumping into the bun (some Drive-ins had a playground under the big screen with swings) - A&W car-hops (was my Sister's first job) - a new license plate every year - pea shooters - an Ambulance was merely a Station Wagon with lights and a siren ... the difference between the other one that was for Funerals. - You had to find something other than Shopping on a Sunday (like Church and Picnics) - WalMart was Sears - Christmas displays at the Department Store Windows - Finding hours with a Etch-A-Sketch Fun (until you sneeze) - Rubber-band powered flying Airplanes - Discipline other than the dreaded Belt was Going to Bed Early (later found to be helpful for building Brain Cells that might have helped in the first place) :Biggrin: ... maybe not for everyone, but for me was Mom creating her new weekly version of "Tuna Surprise" for dinner and having to eat it without a single complaint. :Wideyed: ... I gotta stop ... but don't want to ... GREAT DEMENTIA TEST here :thumbs: [/QUOTE]
