OMG!!! Parochial School, 1966, going to the supply store to buy more ink cartridges...at a nickel a piece, for my "fountain pen." That no matter how often you practiced, still made the big smudges at the end of every word Smiley

!!!!!!!!!!

You poor thing....whatsamatter widja? Once we bought our package of five cartridges, we got hold of an eyedropper and bottle of Parker's ink and refilled the things. Damn kids!

The other sneaky thing is that we used to reuse postage stamps all the time. All it takes is some Elmers Glue to "glue it down." Funny thing is that when you soak of the stamps, the cancellation goes down the drain with it. Since my friend and I sent so much mail as kids, we saved a lot. It should still work.

Cool

This one almost made me cry! I had a wheelo, I so remember trying to find the stupid 45 inserts so you could play them on the "big stereo", and the "vibrating football game!" We didn't have one but my rich buddy did and we spent all our weekends at his house playing with the expensive toys!!!!

I can remember everything on the lists and recognize all of the photos. I also remember my father smoked Camel cigarettes. They were sold in the drug store, of all places. They were 21 cents a pack. The packs had 4 pennies under the cellophane wrapper. The pennies were your change for a quarter. My older brother and I would fight about who got the pennies because a 7 Up (we were not allowed to have Coke) at the soda fountain cost 5 cents so we only had to spend one penny of our own.

Actually they were made of shellac. You can melt them down to make a shellac stain.

Good grief you kids sound YOUNG!!! I had a PERMANENT doll - One you actually gave permanents to... curled her damn hair. But my favorite was Susan - she was bigger than me and didn't do anything. Had her till I was grown and married - then Mom got rid of her - broke my heart.

Had an Elvis 45 on Sun label (what would that be worth today?)
Sadle Oxfords for Parochial school (with those pretty white socks).
Stick horses made out of mops and brooms (not store bought) - Daddy's belt for reins. We had imaginations back in the OLD days -huh Chuck?

Ya'll have brought up stuff I haven't thought about in years - good memories.... makes me wish I was a kid again...

I had roller skates too with a key and we used to skate in my Grandmother's cellar all the time. I remember Chatti Cathy. That's my husband nickname for me now Embarrassed

I also remember those oversized do nothing dolls, no permanent hair ones but my little sister had one that after twisting her arm, her hair grew. I think we had much better toys than the kids now. You rarely needed a battery to play with it, just your own imagination and energy.
