I remember when......

[Oldjoints]

.....milk, bread and eggs were found on the doorstep every morning
.....you were broke it meant you had no money
.....an Ounce cost $10 and that was a lot of money
.....the food in the fridge was harvested by the whole family
.....when a handshake was a binding contract


have fond or not so fond memories?

[BudBuddha]

You forgot to mention that the Helms Bakery truck came through the hood every AM with hot Boysenberry pies.

Oh yeah, and that milk on the step separated out into 2 layers so you had to shake it before decanting.

[Oldjoints]

The milk we got was raw milk and had the cream floating on the top..... we always seperated it and used the cream seperatly.

I also didnt mention that little dot that use to slowly disappear on the TV that i use to watch in fascination.

[BudBuddha]

Yeah, that dot was good. So was the Indian in the circle that came on after the last show until morning with that annoying high - pitched whine sound. 'Course that was when the tv tube was a circle with the top and bottom trimmed flat and there were only 3 channels.

hot Boysenberry pies...............now ya talking eh!!

I remember when the 4th ammendment was rock solid. During the 1970's i drove all over the deep south with quantity in my car without any worry.

As long as you didn't do anything stupid you had nothing to worry about.

I once drove through 900 miles of Texas with 2 pounds of weed.

[smokebreaks]

^^ that's never happened in my lifetime.

I remember when I just about shit my pants in a rented a car... I picked up this caddy in vegas and drove to san diego, never did I know that on the downside of the mountains there are these agricultural checkpoints... mother fucker.

[Jolly Roger]

speaking of delivered milk in glass, I remember being fascinated first time we got milk in a carton. Way better--lighter, easier to poor, non of that thick cream stuff to deal with - plain cool!

[benjammin]

nostalgia aint what it used to be...

.....when a handshake was a binding contract

unless it was with a...you know. negro. or a chinese. or...

lets be honest. there has never been a time when people wouldnt fuck each other over regardless of any previous arrangement.
