Yes, I'm getting old(er). I remember all that was presented here. We did not eat out very much back then as my mother cooked food at home. On the rare occasion we did eat out, it was a fun time to be out of the house. I still have some of those massive Sears catalogues from the 60s. The ones showing all of the toys that you could buy at Christmas time was spectacular. If you were a kid in the 60s and 70s, you experienced a time in this country that cannot be duplicated.

I recall, with the older, original Polaroid cameras, one had to apply a fixer to the finished print to preserve it. It came in a roll-on stick that you rubbed over the picture. Otherwise, the photo would fade over time, even when protected inside of an album. That was when the Polaroids first came out, and you could only get black-and-white film for them. The later Polaroids were much improved, and you could have color.
Oh well, I’m old😮but I wouldn’t trade a memory from those days to be young now.
Those were the best years of my life, thank you so much for helping me relive them God bless you.

I grew up outside of Chicago in the "Superboonies." We always turned in the Ray Raynor Show in the mornings before school, especially on snow days. He always had the scroll on the bottom of the screen and also mentioned the schools that were closed while he talked. If I remember correctly, our Superintendent of Schools was jerk who didn't care about weather conditions. He NEVER closed the schools. When I was in high school, we had freezing rain that left 1/4" of ice on the roads. I rode the bus at that point, usually a 20 minute ride. That day, it took us almost two hours to get to school. We were so late that we had to go through the dean's office to get passes. My parents were pissed off at the situation and didn't hesitate to let the Superintendent know about it.

Based on this, I'm not old. I'm ANCIENT. When I was in grade school, we didn't get snow days. We just stood out by the road until the bus got there and hoped for the best. The roads weren't cleared and if the bus got stuck, the bigger fifth and six grade boys helped dig it out and push it. Sometimes a farmer would come by with a tractor to help. None of the restaurants shown existed and there were no fast food restaurants like the ones shown. If you wanted to grab a hamburger, you ordered it from a carhop and she brought it to you. I worked three summers as a carhop and I loved it. I took typing in high school on a manual typewriter. Christmas presents came from the local dime or department stores. The car radio had only am and fm and there was no tape player. All of the television shows shown were years in the future. We got our photos developed at the drug store.

That's how it was back in the 60's in mid Michigan. There was lots of snow on the road and sometimes the bus did get stuck. Bus driver and kids would shovel a path to get moving again. Everybody to the back to get more traction and often a farmer would come out with his tractor and pull the us out. Often might have a foot of snow in the morning and send us home early because more blowing snow came. Getting home was when we usually got stuck. Smaller and fewer county trucks back then so clearing country dirt roads took a while. We listened to the radio hoping our school was on the closed list. Oh, if you had a dairy farm on your road it got priority. Thanks for the video.

I'm from the time when cars only had am radios. Never had a snow day, never had a snowy school day. Those TV shows were in the distant future, as were those places shown for dining out. My Christmas presents also came, generally, from the local dime or department stores. However, my earliest memories of dime stores, in 1949 or 1950, was with signs that read "5 - 10 - 25 Cents". My parents still referred to them as dime stores. We did receive all the Sears catalog, and occasionally would receive a present from there. By the early '60s, I signed up for the military to avoid the draft.

Anyone ever hear of telephone service called a "party line"? (again, Google it) That's what we had! Many families shared one telephone line. Each family had a different ring tone. You had to wait in line to use it sometimes! Amazing things have happened in my seven, plus decades on this old planet! Be sure to appreciate all the wonderful conveniences and blessings you have!!

My dad always wanted an electric typewriter so it was a deal. That thing was noisy and weighed about 80 pounds. As we carried it up the driveway, my dad said ''Hurry up before they change their minds.'' I had just heard one of the guys getting in the station wagon saying ''Lets get out of here before he changes his mind''.
