I remember when:

It's a fun thread. Not for that type of bullshit. mtmuley

Oh lighten up. This is the extent of my complaining on HT regarding this subject.

I grew up in a border town. I do miss the days when we could travel and visit family back and forth, freely. Crossing the border for cheap milk, beer or gas. Simpler times going camping in Vermont, Maine and NH.

I remember watching the moon landing on black and white tv.

Wait is that real? damn they told me it wasn't.

I remember when you had to work for a living or you went hungry, cold and may have died.

I also remember when you were growing up you actually had chores and had to work, or your dad kicked you in the ass, repeatedly

I remember when men opened and held the doors for women and elderly. In my household you only forgot this once......... I still do this, and have to tell teens and young to move their lazy ass so someone can sit down.

I remember when people had more respect and manners. If they didn’t there was a chance you might get hit in the mouth with little to no problems from the law or being sued.

 

[Lostinthewoods]

When people didn’t wear pajamas everywhere and prioritized their health.

 

[Nick87]

When people didn’t wear pajamas everywhere

Beat me to it, the more I go out in public the more I want to stay home.

An HVAC service tech for a large industrial company showed up at my shop in P.J.s the other day. Wtf?

 

[gouch]

I remember 10 hamburgers for a dollar at Dell's Drive In and people swearing they would give up driving if gas ever reached 50 cents a gallon.

 

[B&CTom]

I remember wearing batteries out in this thing

 

[Wildabeest]

Milk was delivered to your door. In glass bottles.

My Dads work took our family to Spain for a year when I was in 2nd grade. We traveled around the country, one trip to the Northern portion. Mountains, streams, small villages...very undeveloped.
A lasting memory of walking a trail along a stream, stopping to look at a pool under a waterfall. I spied a trout in the frothy water, the silhouette more like, suspended in the water column. It was magical then, now 50+ years later still magical. Just got off the river today, still chasing dreams.

I remember when you didn't feel almost naked without your seat belt on.

I remember punching my ID resident elk tag and then running back to town to buy an unused NR elk tag.

I never had years with elk tags when I should have but definitely wish I had a couple times for deer

Beat me to it, the more I go out in public the more I want to stay home.

No kidding. I just got back from taking my kid to the bookstore, there was a lady there with a cat backpack that looked like a clear plastic bubble and one terrified cat inside...and she wasn't even the oddest one there!

 

[mtmuley]

Simple rifles. Simple bullets. And they worked. mtmuley

I remember when my dads first TV remote was me and my two brothers.
