Ah the good ole' days! I have done 14!😁 I can no longer remember phone numbers; do not say, "tape it", and am not on other social media. I felt QUITE old as I read this list!😂

How about you?

All of them plus more! Anyone else remember playing with ration coupon books left over after WWII?

Or the large quarantine signs posted by front doors for contagious diseases? I know our town used them for measles, mumps, chicken pox, and scarlet fever.

Use a sewing machine powered by your feet on the treadle?

@millieshops Welcome!🥰 I am not familiar with these things and had never heard of a treadle, so I Googled them! I recall my dear mother having a sewing machine with a pedal, but did not know it was called a treadle!😁 THANK you so much for sharing these as I always appreciate educational knowledge nuggets!!❤️

I remember all of them...

I still do #14 because I still drive my 1989 Pontiac Firebird I bought 1 yr old in 1990 for $7,999.

@millieshops I remember black death/mourning wreaths people hung outside their front door when a household member died.

Some folks even had the dead laid out in the parlor or living room during the 50's early 60's.

@SandySparkles I have to admit that I remember everything on the list. I would like to add one more...

I remember that we had a party line on our phone. We had to make sure that no one was on the line if we wanted to make a phone call. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ah yes...the good old days...

@Susan Louise Welcome!🥰 WOW! Congratulations!👍🏻 My first car was a beautiful strawberry red colored manual 89' Ford Escort GT. that I LOVED❤️! My dear younger brother taught me to drive it! I owned it for four years then traded in for another car!😊

I am so impressed that your car STILL runs today! They certainly do not make them like that anymore!😊

Thank you SO much for caring to share today!💝

@Mombo1 Welcome and WOW!🥰 How impressive! I had to Google how it worked. There must have been a great deal of trust amongst neighbors back then! It simply would not work today sadly! I think it is AWESOME that you have such fond memories of that time!

THANK you SO much for sharing that wonderful memory with us!💝
