Oh my, do I remember!! {{{Blush}}} I was in my 30's and the Dr was giving me the "once over" down below. (He was an older ex-patriot Englishman) His eyebrows went up and he glanced at the nurse and she at him. He asked her to step outside with him and look at something he had in tweezers. "Oh dear", I thought, "must be really bad!!" Then I heard an outburst of laughter. The old gent came back in with an S&H green stamp in those tweezers! I'd gone to the restroom to give a urine sample, there was no toilet paper so I pulled a kleenex out of my pocket......
Oh yes I remember! I coyly told him I'd been giving them out all day. so I had the last laugh! :oops: :oops: :oops:

I remember the Green stamps and the Blue stamps - my mom was always saving them for something. I remember looking at the catalog to see what we could get. I wonder why they quit doing these - I guess now with the internet no one needs them.

Giving away my age also, but I do remember my mom getting them and putting them in the books for her. Then when DH and I got married, his mom gave us some books of stamps to buy a wedding present with. We got a bathroom scale which we still use..43 years later. Just another memory of when times were simplier and maybe a bit better??

I remember pasting them into the books and waiting until we had enough to get something! As a matter of fact, I still have an S&H Greenstamp ashtray that we put out when we have parties for those that need an ashtray. It always prompts a "remember when" conversation!
