Stuff from the past that you miss!

Changing the needle on my wind-up gramophone after every two sides.

Actually, I don't miss that. I still do it with new needles from a shop in The Netherlands. It amuses the grandchildren that music can be produced without electricity and that I vary the volume either by using a different needle or by putting a pair of rolled-up socks in the horn.

I seen a cool retro style cd player/radio/record player/cassette player at Wal-Mart last week. I might get one of those and put it next to my old rotary phone. I also have an original 70s GE AM/FM radio I listen to almost every day.

Miss the age of cassette tapes (which are still around, but it ain't the same) and customizing your own case art. Used to have a whole wall of these shits. No more now.

A joy of meeting new people used to be trading cassettes in order to cop new sounds or stuff you might not have or missed out on. Cassettes could travel, leapfrog and propagate over distances in ways vinyl couldn't. Also, when you hung out over people's cribs, if they knew their shit, they had racks and walls of customized cases, too. This ascertaining of potential people to work into one's circle worked with lovers also. To paraphrase John Waters, if they didn't have good tunes on tape, you shouldn't be fucking them.

didn't say you couldn't fuck them...just...ya shouldn't be!

My mom reading outside the bedroom door before we fell asleep.

I have questions. Was she not allowed in the room? Was she so loud that she was made to sit outside? Who was "we"?

My brothers shared a bedroom and my sister and I shared the other. My mom would sit out in the hall between them so we could all listen.

That's fucking awesome.

That's fucking awesome.

Yeah, it's one of my favorite memories. My dad used to read to us too; in his little library some nights and while we waited for the bus.

I remember being on the edge of my seat as the bus pulled up and he'd have to close the book. Talk about building anticipation.

I miss free time. I miss not being tethered to a phone.

I fucking loved school pizza too.

I agree with you! Miss free time! Being able to play outside with no care in the world. Didn't have to be afraid of strangers.

The anticipation and excitement of Halloween and trick-or-treating. My mom never got us store-bought costumes, but we had dance costumes and tons of dress up clothes so we got pretty creative.

Gemini and Apollo takeoffs and splashdowns pre-empting our regularly scheduled programming. I always wanted to be an astronaut. Everyone says they were traumatized by 9/11? I was traumatized when Apollo 1 burned up on the launch pad.

For me, it was the Challenger. I was in fifth grade. One of the teachers in our school had applied for the program but didn't get picked. We had all been watching the television coverage and the teachers seemed so in shock they didn't have us do anything the rest of the day and left the televisions on. It was like the first affront on my childhood naivete.
