Loved playing with my Tonka toys growing up!

Me too. We had a big sand and dirt pile, built a town and everything.

That’s badass!!

I remember those record “clubs” where you could order 10 albums for 99¢. One of the formats was cassette, 8 track, album or reel to reel!

I remember thinking two-track stereo was the greatest thing.

Remember the TV that you had to take the picture tube to the store and test them?

I’m so old I not only remember those tv’s. I use the high pitch whine they made to describe the stereophonic tinnitus I hear all too often.

78s. Little Toms. Michael Jackson performing as a child.

Remember when body glitter was the coolest thing ever?

78s are cool.

I wish my turntable would play em. But they are heavy as hell. Can’t get the speed right.

When you photocopied something, it was referred to as "Xeroxing" it.

I’ve been saving all my grandmothers 78’s. I’d still have the victrola she used to play them on but my grandfather gave away the motor. It turns out the 78rpm is a perfect speed for winding up a bait line.
Now what am I preserving these for? I was singing Blue Moon over the holiday when were were remembering she would be just about to have her 125th birthday.

"Call me when you get there"

Byron used to tell me that all the time and that was in 2014!

Snow in winter

Move to Minnesota and you’ll be in your second childhood at least regarding snow!

I’m so old I remember when cars and airplanes had ashtrays

 

[Wonderer67]

This came up this morning…

I always thought it was a great show.

 

[Wonderer67]

When I was a really little kid, like three or four, my parents put me in an aircraft all by myself to visit some relatives in Florida.

I remember that the flight attendants made a big fuss over me and we’re super kind and took me up to the cockpit.

I also have a very vivid memory that it was on national Airlines, now defunct.

[English_guy_bkk]

I rather like wallpaper.

Playing Decathlon on my Commodore 64 using a Competition Pro 5000 joystick. And by playing I mean jerking that joystick because that was what it looked like

Moomins were just in books, no animations and no Moominlands.
