I know most of you will be envious of my dickie, it is charming. Now, I did wear my dickie properly and you could touch it using the secret handshake.

Seriously, My dickie. My friend. RIP 1978.

I picked up a big box of records at a garage sale,both 45's am 36's,though they are old they still play really good.They also had a record player that has a 45 unit so I can play them plus a 8 track player along with a casett player.I'm working on it so it works better as the old speaker is shot and the casett player sticks.The records cost me $5.00 the player I dug out of the trash cost 0...not bad at all.

When I was a kid we used to break off bits of still warm road tar to chew. We survived. I guess even road tar was purer then.

Friendship barrettes for your hair...circa 1980. I loved making them when I was 6 or 7. :) They bring back so many memories.

I actually had this exact car, color with T tops. Yes, i was coooooooool, or so i thought. On my way to school i had to pick up like 48 people in my cool car. But, alas, we would come sliding into a school parking spot in the mornings with Pat Benatar or ACDC playing so loud in my 8 track that our teeth would chatter. Albeit, my speakers in the back were the size of Montana. It was all fun and games until the transmission blew to the sky.

Her name was Bobbie btw. Ahhhh memories.

[A. Spectre]

Yep, yep, blue jean cut-offs. Levi's button down or zipper.

The sad thing is I wore something very similar to these doing beach activities today. Had some looks thrown my way, do I care? Meh...

Huey Lewis did say It is hip to be square! But square is coming 'round full circle, right?

I love good album cover art and Blue Note was a favorite of mine. They set the standard by treating type as a graphic element. And, there was always the liner notes. No more.

My parents bought me a Ford Fiesta for my 16th birthday, man I thought I was the cats pajamas. It was a 4 speed transmission and I only killed it a couple of times initially at intersections. She barely went past 60 mph and looking under the hood, the 25 hamsters did a good job running the car.....

They no longer sell yard darts, cuz by gosh! someone could get hurt! The metal jacks? Nope. Now, they are made of plastic, spaghetti noodles or something soft and safe. ;)

"Have breakfast with the King" Who, over 35 does not remember this children's jingle?

They still produce this cereal, but with far less grams of sugar. When I was a kid, there was probably 50000 grams of sugar in a bowl, enough sugar to last through the winter. :) My mom was cruel enough to allow it in the house. Just. Once.

Remember putting playing cards in the spokes of your bicycle? We also used pieces of plastic straws in assorted colors, and twisted colored pipe cleaners around the spokes.

Also, the baseball cards...my big brother and I collected them like maniacs. I remember the nasty, hard chewing gum that came in the packs. I wonder if they still put gum in the packs.

Edited to add: To answer my own question, I just googled it...apparently they stopped putting the gum in the packs back in the early 90's. :)

You would have been too old and too 'cool' for that when it came out anyway.

They make other versions of it but I do believe that this is the original.

These were strings with glass balls on the end that you smacked together by manipulating the string as shown in the video. If done hard enough, fast enough, little shards of glass would chip off and go projectile missile sailing - flying through the air to, in a piercing hot penetrating fashion way, bore/embed themselves in you or someone else’s flesh. Subject to multiple recalls, the source of numerous lawsuits our parent’s allowed us to play with them until eventually Social Services alerted by our neighbors, threatened criminal charges if our parents did not hurry up and get with the voluntary recall program.

From various internet sites: During World War II this was a symbol for the American service personnel. Any place in the world where one of them went, he or she would see it. It was found in restrooms, on trucks, tanks, ships, bombed out walls and almost any place it could be painted, penned, scratched or chalked. It was a symbol of courage, pride, encouragement, and a morale booster.

Oh my god I hated this!

My mom made me wear a "belt" and Kotex because she said if I used Tampax I wouldn't be a virgin anymore.

There was no internet to go check to see if that was bullshit back then.

I bought my first box of Tampax at 16 and had to smuggle it into the house.

Thank heavens, you finally posted something that I don't remember because it was before my time.

Well, it's not before my time. An older woman who helped take care of me (while my dad raised me) had one of these washers and I would use it sometimes to wash my clothes. This was in the mid 1960s in Detroit.

Feeling old, but I can work with that ;)

Homoe! You find great stuff!

My mom had a Mustang that looked just like this except it was a hardtop.

I learned to drive on that car. I think it was a 1967 Mustang and it was indeed red.

My parents had four sets of these to divide, section off the older part of the house from a recent addition where our everyday living space dining area and family room were. In the family room along with the television and usual furniture stuff there was an 8-track player meant to go in a vehicle that my dad had somehow rigged up to sit in the entertainment center and play in the house over the record player/radio speakers, a gaming system with one game – pong, a swag lamp, a lava lamp (our first one was red and cordless and candle power operated when it died we got an electric model blue one), a bean bag chair, a split leaf philodendron (which back then were considered/treated like rare and exotic tropical plants) in a terracotta pot, and an avocado seed/pit with toothpicks jammed in it/propped up in a mason canning jar full of water and left to root. People said our family room was so “mod”.
