i love hearing all of the items in the original post. brings back sweet memories when life was just not stressful.

I'm 53 and remember those things too!

I remember getting the polio shots at school.
I don't remember a time without a black and white TV.
My grandmothers both had freezers.
I do remeber the 5&10 cents stores, but I remember paying more like a quarter for things.
I'm 57, and while some of the things are off a bit, depending on where you were in the country, dates are different in different areas for when things were normally done or had.
thanks for memory walk! :)

I'm 54 and thanks for sharing this with all of us

I remember ration stamps had to have them to get sugar and coffee,think there was other things too but was very young. I also remember margarine(oleo) where you got pound of white stuff that looked like pound of lard and mixed pack of yellow stuff to make it yellow to look like butter.Oh yes reemember the polio shots too, my bro passed out while standing in line.He was ok just week stomach.

I miss some of those days. When I was learning to drive a car the gas was 3 gal. for a dollar. So I better pay attention, because that was a lot of money. I didn`t miss chocking grain. Going out to the bathroom, lugging water to the house with a pail. OR having to listen to Gabriel Heater tell us how a war was on out back door, and then being told to go to bed. What for I couldn`t sleep. I`m 72.

I'm 55 and remember some of those things too. I hated the margarine with the yellow color packet. I also remember getting a color TV but only a few shows were in color. Back then we only had 2 channels to watch.

64 young here, I remember babysitting for 35 cents a hour 50 cents after midnight and I thought I was rich
I believe the good ole days were that, I sure wouldn't want to raise kids today,,,

I'm 70. I can remember when MY kids could play safely in the front yard of my house and the neighbors' and no one worried they would be snatched. I can remember when my kids could ride a city bus to school through an ethnic mixed part of town to school without incident and I remember when my oldest child came home and said a student was shot in the school cafeteria. Change happened to all of us.

I remember most of them too!!!
