Schatzi - Yes I reamember that and didn't they use to put towels in there too?

I loved the wax, probably more than the .2 oz of juice. There was a penny store (do they even still exist) around the corner from my DGM (in the back of someone’s house of course that had the best 3/.01 candy. $1 would make me the richest kid on the block.

I remember when pop bottles were glass and I had this obsession with taking the little papers off of them that had the price. Every time we would go to the grocery store I would do it. It got to the point were I had to empty my pockets when we left and was forced to put them all back on during the weekends. (Have no idea why I kept doing it)

Shennie - We would get our allowance on Sat mornings and go directly to the candy store, spend our whole $2 and go home and eat candy and watch cartunes.....where did those happy days go??????

Saturday morning cartoons were the whole reason for the weekend. Now kids don't even get up early enough to watch them. DS sleeps in on Saturday.:dizzy:
I would have a pack of saltines (don't like milk so i couldn't eat cereal and DM and DD would still be sleep) and sit in front of the TV from about 5AM until noon. Then I would get to watch soul train at noon. (the real soul train before the half naked girls;) ) and practice all of the dance moves.
Whatever happened to all of the dance shows (American bandstand was good too) and why were we so fascintated with watching other people dance on TV.

Shennie - OMG - I lived for Soul Train (but I was young with babies) I did my housework and danced with the babies....I STILL watch soullllllllllllll trainnnnnnnnn...lol My DS's still remember that and then they would watch wrestling.......
And yes American Bandstand, etc........

Shennie and Star - To this day, not a single family event goes by without a Soul Train line. :rofl:

I don't know why kids today have lost the line? It is by far the best way to showcase what our mamma gave us....

Yes, yes! I know why they've lost it. Its because instead of seeing Soul Train, our kids would much rather be able to watch their idols and the half nekkid girls on BET and MTV. Such a shame.

They are missing out on so much fun....

Did you all get things like steak knives at the gas station?

I loved soul train, too -- and Sat AM cartoons. . and Star Trek reruns after school --

At the drive-ins did they have the little tray that went in the window? This was before car air conditioning. ..

Julie - Yes to all of the above. First DH and me use to watch Star Trek everynight (before babies)....
The places where the girls come out to your cars are called drive-thurs, like A&W. Actually here we still have a couple and the girls bring the food out on trays on rollerskates, the one we go to is called Fast Eddies. It draws alot of Classic Car nuts....

Guy gets on a plane and finds himself seated next to a cute blonde. He immediately turns to her and makes his move.

"You know," he says, "I've heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger. So let's talk."

The blonde, who had just opened her book, closes it slowly and says to the guy, "What would you like to discuss?"

"Oh, I don't know," says the guy, smiling. "How about nuclear power?"

"OK," says the blonde. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff -- grass. Yet the deer excretes little pellets, the cow turns out a flat patty, and the horse produces muffins of dried poop. Why do you suppose that is?"

The guy is dumbfounded. Finally he replies, "I haven't the slightest idea."

"So tell me," says the blonde, "How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know ****?"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A woman goes to the doctor for her annual physical. The nurse starts with certain basic items.

"How much do you weigh?" she asks. "115," she says. The nurse puts her on the scale. It turns out her weight is 210.

The nurse asks, "Your height?" the nurse asks. "5 foot 8," she says. The nurse checks and sees that she measures 5 foot 5.

She then takes her blood pressure and comments to the woman that it¹s very high.

"Of course it's high!" she screams. "When I came in here I was tall and slender! Now I'm short and fat!"

When Tom first noticed that his penis was growing larger and staying erect longer, he was delighted, as was his wife.

But after several weeks, his penis had grown to nearly twenty inches.

Tom became quite concerned. He was having problems dressing,and even walking. So he and his wife went to see a prominent urologist.


After an initial examination, the doctor explained to the couple that, though rare, Tom's condition could be fixed through corrective surgery.

"How long will Tom be on crutches?" the wife asked anxiously.


"Crutches? Why would he need crutches?" responded the surprised doctor.

"Well," said the wife coldly, "you're gonna lengthen his legs, aren't you?

Inner Peace,,, Finally

By following the simple advice I heard on a Dr. Phil show, I have
finally
found inner peace.

Dr. Phil proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all
the
things you have started. So I looked around my house to see things
I
started and hadn't finished; and, before leaving the house this
morning I
finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of White Zinfandel, a
bottle
of
Baileys, a bottle of Kahlua, a package of Oreos, the remainder of
both
Prozac and Valium prescriptions, the rest of the Cheesecake, some
Saltines
and a box of Chocolates.
You have no idea how freking' good I feel.

Please pass this on to those you feel are in need of inner peace.
