I can relate to SO MANY of these!😁

I can especially recall getting dizzy on the merry-go-round, and LOVED❤️ Casey Kasem's countdown! My friends and I could not WAIT for it to come on!😀Back then, we had to make a paper list. 🥰

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I remember all of these things! I never had anything to record off radio though, not til the 70's. I also remember phone party lines, busy signals. Waiting home all day for an important call.  Dialing Operator to place long distance call. Boy, things have changed. Do they evpven have operators anymore?  lol!

@shoekitty Welcome!🥰 That is actually a comical, yet good question! I think operators went the way of the dinosaurs!😂 I would get SO frustrated whenever I heard a busy signal on the line; sort of  like getting a voicemail when I have something to say NOW!!!😁

THANK you for sharing!🤗

I think it was the beginning of the 1980's when the Mr Coffee came out, it was the biggest thing since sliced bread, no kidding. other new innovations I remember just being so excited about, and were actually life changing in a way were

1)modern hair blow dryers

2)Call waiting, (at last being able to get through a phone line.

3)voice mail, 

4) microwaves

5) cell phones

6)home computers and then   iPads

We did too . I was in Santa Clara County and we would call POPCORN , we had an old wind up clock and it was always off by 10-20 minutes.
