My cousins and I used to fight over who got to ride in the back of my uncle's PU truck.

Life without tattoos and funky colored hair.
Most males, of all races, had or wanted a job.
Paddelings in school.
Students drove the bus in high school.
No A/C in school or at home.
Every boy in school carried a pocket knife.
Kids played outside ALL day.
Building and setting out rabbit hollers.
The ring tab on a drink can came all the way off.
Having to manually change the channel on the T.V.
You opened a bank account and the bank gave you a toaster.
The textile mills were running full tilt, and the majority of the town worked in the mills.
Mill workers were referred to as “lint heads”
Everyone could drive a straight drive.
Males were males and females were females.
Almost no traffic on the road, until the mills let out.
Everyone planted a garden.
Your average 12 year old could clean a mess of Crappie, could clean a squirrel, and run a tractor.
Life without travel ball.
Significantly less white trash and no Mexicans.
I could go on and on!

5sdad,
How about a TRIPLE-feature afternoon at the Saturday afternoon movies for 35 cents, a quarter for spending money (with a BIG pickle for a nickel) & holding hands and/or a "peck on the lips" was something to tell your friends all about that night??
Truth time: I dated a "church girl" when I was a HS freshman that made me wait until we were "going steady" to do anything more than a VERY BRIEF kiss goodnight. = Never got farther with her, after 2 years of "going steady", than some "light petting". (Things were so much more innocent then!!!)
yours, tex

To All,
When I was a Freshman at UT (Austin) , I used to carefully drive to Waco because I could buy gas for 18.9 cents a gallon there & it was 24.9 most places in Austin. (In those days, I drove a BRIGHT RED Hudson Metropolitan roadster & my gas bill for a month was sometimes as much as 10 bucks.)
WHITE CASTLE had 12 little burgers for a dollar on Tuesday after 7PM back then. Wednesday night was THE PLANTATION at 19th & "Drag", with all you could eat southern fried chicken for 3.95 with drink. Also SLICK'S CAFE had 60 cent plate lunches then, too. (And Slick would sell us "underaged guys" Lone Star beer for 50 cents a long-neck, too.)
yours, tex

Having the dumazz pharmacist ask you "are you married" to buy rubbers, because condoms were a behind the counter item. Of course you said "yes" even though you were still in HS.

Not only was the starter on the floorboards but the dimmer switch was also there . Cars pickups and trucks with no turn signals . Then turn signals were required on trucks so all had to be retrofitted.
Defrosters would not keep the windshield even partially clear . Either use a scraper on install a small fan to blow air on the window .

I remember when there wasn't anything called autism or aspergers or adhd. All symptoms of such undiagnosed conditions were cured with "Brownie"

mathman,
I can even remember when .22 short/long RF shells were available everywhere, as well as .22 Automatic, .22WRF, .22 Remington Automatic, .32LR & even .41 Short for Deringers were commonly available at local hardware stores. (I once had my Uncle Jack's circa WWI era Remington Double Derringer in .41RF, that he routinely carried as a "hideout pistol" but it "mysteriously disappeared" from Mother's house when I was OCONUS with the USA in 1971. - At that time PEOPLE'S HARDWARE still carried Remington-Peters cartridges for it at about 5 bucks a box.)
