I doubt that world was really any friendlier. News just didn't travel as far.

I remember:

Watching Linda de Mol and DJ Cat on Sky every morning.

Playing David's Midnight Magic on our Commodore 64.

When my father got his first Apple Mackintosh SE, included in the price were several lesson for which a lady came to our house.

Watching programs as MASK, He-Man, She-Ra, Liegebeest, Postbus X and De Zevensprong on tv.

My grandmother worrying about my reading because I only read comics.

I remember when a scandalous two piece bathing suit was what girls/women wear now as running gear.

I had one and took it with me everywhere, along with a stack of 45's: Beatles, Kinks, Yardbirds, Rolling Stones, Dave Clark 5, Animals, etc.

Till then, I'd been using a transistor radio and had to settle for what someone else wanted me to hear. With a portable record player, I now had the ability to listen to any song I owned whenever and wherever I wanted.

Music on demand; sixties style

Oh Wow! You just flung me down memory lane. I had the most friends in 1st grade because of having that red transistor radio. I used to let various kids listen to it for a few minutes every day. Sure, I knew they only loved me for my technology, but that doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy their tributes of desserts and pushing me on the swingset.

BTW, my 1st grade boyfriend met up with my sister at a funeral just last week. She says that he asked about me. She also says that I turned him gay. But he was the one who made me cry when he kissed me on the bus and the older kids teased us!

Oh, another thing I remember was when Jurassic Park came out. My mother completely freaked out during the first T-Rex scene.

The only movie that ever freaked me out was Disney's "Sleeping Beauty" (1959). That witch gave me nightmares

I remember when a Three Musketeers bar cost 5 cents and had indentations so you could break it to share with two other friends.

I remember the strip of paper with candy 'dots' on it, one strip for a penny.

I remember 'leather' ski boots and 'bear trap' bindings.

I remember carrying my skate key on a string around my neck.

I remember bicycles with coaster breaks and big spring shock absorbers.

I remember when the TV took five minutes to warm up.

I remember when everybody's Mom was home when we came home from school

I remember eating Koolaid powder right out of the package.

I remember when a slice of pizza and a coke cost 25 cents.

I remember when telephone numbers were just three digits and you asked the operator to connect you.

I remember the Ice truck delivering blocks of ice to the corner market, and the Ice Man giving us kids chips of ice to suck on in the summer time.

I remember when margarine was sold as a 'white' colored product, with a little bag of yellow food coloring that my mother would mix in before we used it.

I remember buying gas in California in 1969, paying 18 cents a gallon because there was a 'gas war' going on between stations in the area.

I remember playing 'hide and seek' at night, running through back alleys and over roof tops, not worrying about getting mugged.
