This thread is about pictures.

Please provide pictures.

Sorry. I am old and still haven't figured out how to post photos on MFP. My pictures are still in my memory; but I think most old folks would agree that they can still see those 'images of the past' without photos.

Please be patience with this old lady. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

I appreciate what you wrote as well. You brought me back... I remember having to write line for line out of a book and not use the internet. You are an awesome grandma, I am sure!

Where is the like button when you need one? LOL

Thank you for this. My hubbie was Air Force, and I was in the Navy during the Vietnam area. That pledge means a lot. I just wish it was still something that kids were taught in school. That small flag in the class room represented so much.

I bought Speak and Spell...and Speak and Math for both of my boys, when they were young. These wonderful learning tools were far better than some of the worthless car racing and shoot 'em computer games that followed. At least, it challenge them to learn to spell and do math better.

I actually really enjoyed yours. Kinda started wishing things were like that now. My phone number would start with FineAZZ4213 and I'd love to know the names of my hot fedex and ups guys.

I think that my mom kinda liked our milk man. He was one of those guys who used to do skating routines on rollerskates. He loved to show mom pictures of himself in his fancy costumes with loads of sequins and shiny flowing shirt sleeves. He was all about his costumes and won trophies for his skating; but he made his living delivering milk.

Now, that I think about it. Our milk man was a bit...hmm? girlie...in his manner and speech. He was probably homosexual, in a time before it was proper to call him 'gay'.

The egg man Mr. Cooper was just an old farmer who smelled like chicken poop and delivered eggs and poultry in his old, beat up truck. His eggs gave us lots of double yokers.

The Jewel Tea man was like the Watkins man. He brought everything from tea to spices and other interesting products that you could find in the grocery store...like Golden Lion honey and Vegemite. Mom couldn't live without those things that reminded her of her home in Australia.

Joking aside I enjoyed your list as well.

A great many things have changed since I was a child. It's kind of humbling when you stop to reflect upon it.

Yes. I have been getting private messages from MFP folks that didn't understand about phone numbers that started with a word. I am not surprised that most people don't remember the time, when we had party lines on the phone, you spoke to a local operator, when we picked up the phone. There was no dial tone back then. The operator sat at a board full of holes and physically 'plugged you in' to someone else's phone number. There were no area codes, cell phones and personal computers of any kind.

I remember watching Disneyland (the TV show not the amusement park). Walt Disney showed us 'things' that might happen in the future, like phone screens as big a TV set...so you could see who was on the other end of the phone line. He talked about rocket ships, space stations and men on the moon. Then, we kids grew up and got to see all those incredible things and more happen right before our eyes.

I had the pleasure of meeting President Eisenhower, when I was a still a child. I still remember sitting in a classroom, listening to the radio, as the first American astronaut was launched into space. I held my breath as the first man stepped onto the moon surface, proud that he was an American and not a Russian. We were so worried that they would get there first. Those special good memories are a treasure.

However, there are other memories that are moments of sadness in my past. I waited with the rest of America, when President Jack Kennedy was shot in Dallas; and I cried, when I heard that he had died. I cried again for Bobbie and for Dr. King. I have memories of Vietnam and some great young men who died there. Some of the young folks on MFP will remember the day that the twin towers fell. They may carry the memories of a newer war.

My 68 year old brain is store house of memories, many of which are only important to me. You are a young father. You are storing up memories of and for your little girls. That's how it should be.

Thanks to Nancy Reagon, this was a (somewhat) interesting break from lessons a couple of times a year)

Nice. Reminds me of the PMRC inspired foolishness:



My my, they were all so chagrined when this guy turned out to be intelligent and well spoken. Totally ruined their circus.
