A wall phone that has to be dialed.

By the way, is there still such a thing as a telephone operator? I Googled this and yes, on calls where a person needs help to complete a call, they do still have an operator. Cool!

A $1.00 45rpm vinyl record or an 8-track tape.

Pay phones and mailboxes on practically every corner.

Those elastic things around the waist that women had to wear to attach their menstrual pads to.

Playing an "album" or LP.

(I remember my ds asking me once why I called it that)

Sanitary belt(hope this isn't inappropriate)

I remember in the 80's my sister and I were very resistant to the new stay on pads. We were in a drug store and sis wanted a new sanitary belt. When she asked the young clerk where they were, the clerk replied, "What's a sanitary belt?" We couldn't believe it! The store didn't have any and so goes progress....

Drug store

When I was still teaching and would say "drug store" sometimes students would ask why I said that rather than CVS, Walgreens, RiteAide, etc.(they didn't say pharmacy). They said it sounded like a place where you went to buy drugs(illegal).

Short hand

(took it in high school and loved it).

Five and dime store (5 & 10)

You can buy the sandals at Zappos's for $88.00, I think I paid 9.00 back in the day.

I loved those shoes! I had so many colors! If I remember correctly, we didn't even buy them in a shoestore. I think I remember them being in boxes at Walgreens. My dad was teaching me to drive when they were in style, and wooden clogs. I remember him making me change my shoes to drive - he was convinced I coudn't drive with them. Of course once I got my license I drove with them all the time.
