Its hard for young ones to believe that we didn't always have computers, microwaves and many other conveniences. Remember popcorn popped on the stove in the big pot?

five wrong. I'm 32. So I guess I'm young with an older soul.
And I do pop my popcorn on the stove! |

Amie, the roller skates had a leather strap that secured your shoe to the skate at the ankle and around the heel. It also had a little clamp at each side of the toe to hold the front of the shoe to the skate. You would use the key to tighten or loosen these clamps. You could also use the key to lengthen the skate, as your shoe size grew.
In my neighborhood in Philadelphia in the fifties, you took a skate apart for the wheels to make a scooter with a wooden milk crate, a two by four, and two pieces of wood for handlebars. |

I missed 2. I thought it was the Inkspots too.The other one was the taxi one. I am 60, so I remember all from memory that I got right. I don't remember the button starter for a car, but, we have one on our '35 Plymouth. Tom has had that since he was 18 he's 63 now. He is making it into a street rod now. We also have a 40 Olds. So I know a bit about the older cars too.

Remember when the first PC's came out and you had to buy a TV so you could have a monitor. We had one of those. The only Video games then were Pong and Pac Man. I don't think I have played a video game since.
