The other day someone mentioned an E-ticket, and someone else didn't know what the phrase meant. That got me to thinking of all the things that were second nature to me, that my daughter will not know. These are some that popped to mind. Maybe you have more. BKH
-E Tickets -I'll call you on my dime -Ski belts -Double handle ropes -Records, 8 track, cassettes -Tooth powder -Snow on the television when the networks shut down for the night. - Waiting at the gangway for guests to get off the plane. -Keds and PF Fliers - Milkmen - Dr's who make house calls - Typewriters - Riding in the back of a pickup - Drive in movie theaters - Summer vacations that actually lasted through the summer. - Working 8-5 - Lay away - Leather snow ski boots - Film in the camera - Slide projectors - Dial telephones - Green Stamps ------------- Livin' the Dream |

Everything but the e ticket. Never went to WDW until 2000, so I missed out on those. I've still got a card table that was a big deal back when my mother got it for S&H Green Stamps. We still have a Drive In theaters in Maine and it is legal to ride in the back of a pick up.
They were long gone, but everyone still use to call ladder trucks, Hook and Ladders, and the local PD had a Paddy Wagon. ------------- |

$30 lids, is that like 4-finger bags? Three years ago, my father-in-law bought a triple black, 1976 Cadillac Eldorado (it only had 975 miles on it). It had an 8-track player in it, and in the trunk was an Elvis 8-track. The kids had never seen, or heard of 8-track.

A jart is a weighted "dart" about 14" long, with a heavy pointed nose and wings. The object was to throw it in the air and have it land in a circle, picture horse shoes. They could also be thrown really, really high in the air and land in the gutter of your parent's house and poke a hole through it :)

Speedo's? I'm leaving for the Michigan High School state swim meet at noon. There will be way too many Speedo's. I will be wearing my T-shirt that says " friends don't let friends wear Speedo's" My son who will be swimming bought me the shirt. At least Americans stop at the Speedo level.

I went home and called my mobile when my wife and kids were in the room. Barb loved it. Neither of my kids had any idea what it was.... I am also in the process of putting my turntable back to use in my shop. kids think we are crazy for wanting to play those big black CD's. This has actually been a bit of a pain in the ass as stereos no longer have the proper phono input on them. I have to buy a converter to adjust the gain and play correctly. Get this. It has a USB output. Times were simpler back then. ------------- Mike N 1968 Mustang |

Thai stick Beaners Fog lights Sunfish sail boats Spending the whole day in a rowboat Big wad bubble gum About 8 years ago, I was taking my turntable to the garage when my then 7 year old son asks, "what's that?". I said it was a turntable. He asks, "what's it do?" I said it plays albums. He replies, "What's an album?" I was floored. So I found an old receiver that actually had a "phono" input and hooked it up. I broke out Ted Nugent Double Live Gonzo and cranked it up. Needless to say, he couldn't understand why we ever used turntables. BKH Just turned 46 on Wednesday. And no, I didn't have to register, just had to let them know when I turned 18. ------------- Play hard, life's not a trial run. '85 BFN '90 BFN White Lake, Michigan |

Mike, those times spark alot of memories, what really sparks some is the car I got back from my friend that passed, it was my first car and i sold it to him in 1982 ish, it sits in my shop, i cant sell it because of the attachment, it had an 8-track but yanked it fog lights up front, keystone classic's, it really is froze in time...it sparks things that i forgot about years ago.....time doesnt stop, those were the days and dont even compare to what they are now, life was simple, you didnt lock the doors at night you let your kids go with your friends somewhere, you did physical things, play army, play ball, hide and go seek you stayed skinny,

When I was a kid I lived in Irvine CA (mid 70's). In the summer, we would leave in the morning, and not have to be back until dinner, and then could go out til dark. We had an ice cream man that was not a drug dealer. We had the run of our neighborhood. A central park with hippies playing guitar and getting high. Parents never worried. And nothing ever happened.
I live in the country and my nearest neighbors are 1000 feet away. I still do not like my daughter or wife jogging down the road. I have to lock my car doors cause some punks were stealing from cars out here a couple winters ago.. My former lake neighbor went to prison for mfg meth, as did the owner of the one little corner bar in the township I live near. What in the hell happened? ------------- Mike N 1968 Mustang |

Prior to 1982, tickets were used at Disneyland/Disneyworld for the rides and attractions. The E Ticket was the most expensive of the tickets and was used for the newest, most popular, or most thrilling rides. BKH ------------- Livin' the Dream |

I did not know that either. Now, when you go to Disney,you can barely even get on the rides it's so busy. Lots of neat stuff in this thread, I can't think of any that haven't been covered already. Some of them bring back great memories, and I don't really think I'm "old"! Looks like I'm well on my way though. Lol.

W'slayer - First album - Rock and Roll Over, then Destroyer, Love Gun and Alive II. Still messed up to this day because of it. And thanks to my older stoner cousin who gave me Rush 2112, Van Halen I, AC/DC High Voltage, Iron Maiden Killers albums.
Aqua Net - Ultra Super Hold Unscented. Rocked it loud and proud! When I lived in Los Angeles, I personally emitted more fluorocarbons than all of San Fransisco. Loved Metal, more so the chicks that followed it. As for all those weird words, I have no idea what you are <cough> talking bout. - Rear winter snow tires - 460 cu engines that put out < 200 hp. - Warming up a tube amplifier (still do this today by choice) - Bazooka Joe - Toy guns that slightly resembled a real gun - A/FX slot cars and tracks - Candy cigarettes and gum cigars - Vuarnet sunglasses - Nagel posters - Centerfolds with, um, well lets say unshorn. - C/PM, DOS, Apple IIe, TRS-80, Commadore 64, Sinclair, 8" Floppy Disks, green monitors, orange monitors, 64K RAM, BASIC, cassette drives - Getting into a fight, having a beer after and never mentioning lawyers - Gas stations that dinged when you drove over the hoses on the ground. - Swimming just about anywhere there was water. - Converting ID's with photographs and laminate - Sneaking into bars underage - Gas that smelled good - Snowmobiles engines that ran forward and reverse - Garanimals - Housewives were so wacked out in the 70's they couldn't match their own kids clothes, haha. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1868&sort=&pagenum=1 - 62 Classic http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5242&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2002 Super Air |

I never heard of an E Ticket either. Mike we're a little behind the curve up here.

That's ok Bruce. I've been to alot of places and overall there's no place I'd rather be than right here! Raindog, Bombardier still makes snowmobile engines that run in foward and reverse. Matter of fact I believe they have the patent on the current process to make it happen(Polaris is paying them for the rights to use it as well).Pretty slick set up.

Steve, how about HO Aurora "Model Motoring" slot cars WITHOUT magnets to hold them on the track? Computers? Only the government had them. Black and white tvs? Went to a neighbors on Sunday nights to watch Bonanza and Wonderful World of Disney. The ONLY shows broadcast in color! Rode my first sled in 68... a Ski Doo dont remember the model, but I still remember, it had a yellow windshield. MAD comic books/ Alfred E. Neuman CARtoons comic books Rowan & Martin's Laugh -In show Riding in a new 64 Mustang. Seeing the 67 Camaro for the first time. (Advertisement while watching Bonanza) My first driver license was paper..no photo.

Interesting the direction this thread went. I was more envisioning things that were second nature to me as a kid, that just aren't around anymore. Things my kid will not know or experience. Nevertheless, the trip down memory lane is fun as well.
Some of the other things I was thinking of today: -Milk in a glass bottle. -A world without velcro. -Car's without air conditioning. -Pregant women drinking and smoking, and no one thought anything of it. -Having braces on your teeth was a big deal, not many could afford it. - The gym's at schools issued towels and uniforms,and did the laundry for you. - The schools provided papers, pencils, etc. - A world without microwave ovens - Label makers where you had to punch each letter onto the tape. - Before digital watches, clocks, radios, etc. - Quadraphonic sound systems - Wooden beds in pickups - International, Nash, Studebaker - Smoking in restaurants (unless she goes to Europe of course). - Fuller Brush Salesman - Door to Door Kirby Vacuum salesman - A time before shopping malls - Roller Skating Rinks with wooden floors (not many left). - Fireworks stands (mostly outlawed in CA). - Riding a bike without a helmut - Riding a motorcycle without a helmut - Hospital wards with 8 or 10 to a room BKH ------------- Livin' the Dream |

Not mine John. You can find anything on the internet with a couple of searches.
We did find some old Disney tickets when my parents died, but I think we probably threw them out. Probably should have kept them, as they are probably worth something to somebody. But then again, you can't save everything. BKH ------------- Livin' the Dream |

A nice walk threw memory lane guy's. A few that you missed:
Chuck Taylor High Top's or low top's black or white only. Izod's & Panama Jack T-shirts were the craze Fizzies Jolley Ranchers that were flat and 6" long Croquet with the neighborhood kids ALL day Streamers from the handlebars or bikes with the wide rear tire. Mag wheels for bicycles Evil Knievil was a Hero! Creepy Crawley's ShakerMaker's (Hair Bare Bunch) Vacuform's Popcorn poppers that you HAD to use vege oil Camping was going with a tent not a RV with sat TV,AC, refrigerator, a bath was in the lake and you used an outhouse. BKH... I had to register as well Class of 85' Eric and Mike....Yep, I was 10 years old "I'm going out to play Mom......" "Be back by dark son""!! Our kids will never know!

Dippity doo, 4 cents for milk at school -No fat producing pop machines at school and god damn a good paddling in school to make sure we dont do that again, fear of our parents if we got a bad report card, one of my oldest memories was the landing on the moon 1969?? i was 5.

Worked great until you popped a Wheelie and you saw the front wheel come off and run down the street ahead of you. Bubble gum cards where the gum was actually good. Cracker Jacks when the prize was actually a small treasure not some lame sticker or cheezy tattoo. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Absolutely, a trip to the principal's office meant your butt was going to get up close and personal with a slab of hickory and then, depending on the infraction, you might even have to relive the agony later at home with a belt strap. Do you remember when you finally figured out that anticipating and dreading the spanking was actually worse than the spanking itself? You know, it's interesting how we feel this had a positive impact (or maybe a neutral impact at worst) on our development. Yet when my wife and I were considering school's for our daughter we eliminated one specifically b/c they used corporal punishment. Something about someone else spanking my daughter just doesn't sit right with me. Brian, "before there were malls"...the old plazas that are still here and there seem like such relics. We had two in our area that had a mall-like set up but you had to walk outside to get from store to store. One was covered and converted to a "regular" mall, the other demolished for a high-rise complex. |

Re: Brian's mention of pregnant mothers to be smoking and drinking. They could do that right in the ward in the 60's and 70's.
