    Okay, I'm not even going to bother listing anything because 95% of the stuff you've already posted is familiar. So, I'm old.

    I've started taking a 1/4 tab of Viagra to avoid peeing on my shoes.

    We used to sniff the freshly made (purple) mimeograph sheets! I'm sure there was some brain damage happening there

    My dw and I were just speaking of this the other day. Her and her older sister would ride the bicycles downtown to the Woolworths (or was it Newberrys?) and order at their lunch counter. She said she could not have been much older than 8 or 10 years old (and questioned why on earth would her mom let her do that?!). She said they felt so important sitting on the bar stools and deciding what they could afford to order! Life was simpler back then.

    Milk in Plastic Bags? I am not sure if this was a regional thing or not. Milk came in 1 quart plastic bags and you bought them in bags of 4. You then had a hard plastic pitcher you would put it in and snip off a corner.

    It seems like it lasted a few years, back in the early 70's?

    Oh yeah now I remember. I'm so old that when I wanted my own choice of music in my car, it meant buying a boom box with a cassette player and putting it on the back seat while I drove.
