Remember When!!
Comments
-
Thanks for the suggestion. I also have her college yearbooks and have not been successful in making matches. I have identified family members, including my parents When they were dating.
-
My Mom & Grandma both made flour sack aprons. And my Mother swore that there was no other fabric like flour sacks for drying dishes. I still have some of the kitchen towels she hemmed by hand & then embroidered with things like "glasses" or "Pots & Pans", and a few with holidays or my name.
-
Beaverntx, glad you have the yearbooks and pics from when your parents dated! I'm sure it's fun to see pics from that era. I'm thinking that so often during that era, multiple copies of pictures were made to share or made into postcards to send. That same call to the college library might yield other copies of the same pictures or postcards in their archives. What a fun adventure/mystery and I hope you discover people's names and stories!

Oh, my I had forgotten about those. Gave up on them as soon as I could!
Edited to correct autocorrect.
-
juke boxes on diner tables.
-
Oooh, brush rollers with picks!!! Yes, I endured many a night of sleeping on those!! I can't even imagine trying sleeping with those now!!
Drive-in restaurants where they hung a tray from your car window!
-
ceanna, wouldn't be too surprised to see those trays make a comeback. One way to help restaurants have customers social distance!

I learned to type on a manual typewriter, then a small electric, then the IBM Selectric! We were thrilled to have a typewriter that had built-in correction tape!!! Beats scraping off blue-ditto masters with a razor blade to correct typos!! And blue-ditto ink on my face!!!
-
and that smell! Oh yes, the basketball coach taught typing at my hs. On a manual. The first electric I used, thought I’d died. Didn’t know what to do with my hand to get to next line.
-
Yeah!! I forgot about having to return the carriage on a manual! Wow!! And, I've become a much less accurate typist using a computer!!
-
hehehehe I’m always posting on my phone here, just use my thumb. No computer.
-
We still have Stewart's Drive-In Restaurants here.
-
I believe Drive-In Movie theaters will make a comeback. They are putting pop-up ones here during the pandemic.
-
I saw this morning on the news Yankee Stadium is looking into converting to a Drive-In Movie theater. Love seeing the 'out of the box' thinking.
-
I remember playing hopscotch & jump rope. And jump rope where a person held the rope, or ropes (was that called Double Dutch?) on each end while one or two people jumped, did tricks, and saw how long they could keep it going.
-
We need to post a picture of a drive-in theater!
This is actually the one near where I grew up.
-
I heard they may be coming back because of Covid!!!
-
Spookiesmom...I would welcome that!
-
Ruth - yes I think Double Dutch was two jump ropes with two jumpers. I remember you had to really concentrate to jump into the moving pattern.
-
I remember the drive-in theaters, but also remember sitting in the backseat at drive-in church services!! Now with COVID, I've heard of several churches giving it a try!! Everything old is new again!!
-
ceanna...my church started drive-in Mass last week but for right now I'm still participating on-line.
-
And, we thought we used to spend too much time in our cars!!! Everything is becoming drive-in options now!!
Remember setting up a small tent in the backyard and sleeping out there when you were a kid! We thought we were camping!
-
any one remember slide rules, our pre calculator assistant?
-
Thankfully, never learned how to use a slide rule, but who took shorthand in high school? Didn't work for me!!
-
Meeeee. All I remember now is dear sir.
-
Wow!! Spookiesmom, you got me remembering some "brief forms" and I had to look it up. I remember our class "chanting" and writing whole sets of brief forms. About the only one I actually remembered was "are, our, hour" - Here it is:
Sorry--for those of you who didn't take shorthand and have no idea what we're talking about!!
-
Sweated all through that class. Had respectable speed. Never used it once after hs. Did you?
-
I remember typing class. We had to learn on a manual before we could graduate to the newfangled electric typewriter. I remember mimiographs to make copies, and I remember carbon copies.
