I don't remember quite a few of them like Nellie Bell. I don't remember watching Roy Rogers and Dale Evans very much. I knew who they were of course but I don't remember the details. Here's a few that brought back memories.

1. All the girls had ugly gym uniforms?
We had UGLY gym uniforms!!! They were gold in color and made of a funny material and went down to our knees! I hated them!!!!

4. Nobody owned a purebred dog? We did have a dashund and a pekineese but mostly we had mutts!!

14. No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked? They still are!!!

16. Playing baseball with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game? We had a lot of kids in our neighborhood to play games with. I remember playing kickball and home plate and second base were tar spots on the street. 1st base was a mailbox and third base was a fence post!!!

29. Eating Kool-Aid powder with sugar. We also ate lemons cut in two with a bowl of sugar!! YUM!!

30. Candy cigarettes Wasn't allowed!!

33. Coffee shops with tableside jukeboxes, We had the Cozy Cafe that had these!!

34. Blackjack, Clove and Teaberry chewing gum. You can still get these kinds of gum on e-Bay!!

38. Telephone numbers with a word prefix...(Raymond 4-601) Yep!! Our number was Drake 8-3835!!!

40. Peashooters I remember those.....OUCH!!! I also remember that my brother would take a dart gun and put sharpened pencils in them to shoot at me!! Mom had the top of a closet with his taken away toys in it!!! There's a reason now that dart guns have that little bump inside of them to prevent other things from going inside of them!!! You can probably thank my brother for that!!!

This was fun and brought back a lot of memories!! Thanks Sandy!!!
