Quoted from pacmanretro:How about even having real Saturday morning cartoons/kids shows.
Even that's been a long time now I think.
OMG, promoting all that violence and destruction. We must save the children from cartoons.

Quoted from dsmith:You remember going into the principals office and getting the strap. Parents condoned it and when you got home the old man gave it to you 10 times worse.
Principles office? We got I right in front of the class if we didn't write our spelling words 10 times each. (Quinton Oklahoma)

Quoted from MrBally:I really liked the Ilco hand crank jig and boring tool used for tubular deadbolt locks. This was prior to battery-powered tools being available. The shaft of the bit was threaded and you cranked it in and it went through the wood in no time flat, it even worked on residential steel doors.
The locksmith I worked for in high school summers had one. I personally have an old Kwikset dual hole model. Haven't used it in years though.
Yes, time is money for Locksmiths.
Mine is the kwikset with the second set of holes sawed off. Nobody uses 5" backset and the length just gets in the way when you have window trim. Years ago someone sold a set of reducing rings so you could use your kwikset jig for Schlage size holes. You just can't get good stuff anymore. Just like us medium age folks.

Quoted from cottonm4:Yeah ! And you could buy nails by the pound and fill a sack. Now you get a bubble pak with 10 nails.
At $10 a pack.
Quoted from rai:I was born just 20 years after WWII it’s been 17 years since 9/11 so kids born now 9/11 would be almost as remote as when WWII ended for me. (Desert Storm was 28 years ago).
Ok, probably to much information but when I was a kid and had just finished peeing you would aim the drips to try to pop certain bubbles in the toilet. We were bombing the japs.

Quoted from TractorDoc:I loved the dual front headlights on my '70 Chevelle.
My Buick with the dual round headlights are way brighter than the h7 bulbs in the little car. Those things are pathetic.
Quoted from LTG:Gas wars.
LTG : )
Gas wars now mean how fast they can raise the price if a storm or something is on the way.

Quoted from cottonm4:I tied a string to my finger to remind me I needed to do something.
But now I can’t remember what is was supposed to do.
Or you go into the other room for something then can't remember what for so you have to go back to the room you were in to remember.
