It would be great to be back there now knowing what you know today. I know I would have bought some Apple stock in 1976, but I probably would have been dead by 1976. It is what it is! So, be it!

Me too but I always got to be the one to take the trash out and burn it.
I never got my butt worn out by just 1 belt

Hot water tank was plumbed to kitchen stove to get the water hot. And don't forget "Dibs". Dad took a wind up mechanism out of an old Gramophone and made me a logging donkey. 6 volt car batteries were the standard. Dynaflow transmission. Car battery powered home radios. crank to start car engine. OOOGA. Suicide steering wheel knob. No seat belts. Ice Boxes.

Don't forget hide n seek after dark. If you had a BB gun, shoot targets like pop cans. Also playing Dr. With the opposite sex but to look at and explore. Never to have sex. Never entered are young minds. Well some of you might have. Stupid old me waited till I was 21. Some of the people you mentioned were before my time. Born in 1960.
Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,, as long as you brought the Dr. game up Mr. T., and this is a very well keep secret. We lived in a small community, called Fairwater, there were about 5 families in about a mile stretch of road. The neighbor girl across the road was marrying Cecil, who lived about a mile up the road. She was I8 - 20, I don't know. Anyway, she wanted to "practice" being married. I was 7, maybe 8 and had no idea of what was going happen or what to do. She said, "I'll show you" and that she did. I think there is a law against that now, but we did "practice" a few times after that and then she got married. That's life!

The outhouse faced the creek so we watch the guys fishing. One day a skunk walked by, after that, I closed the door. My brother and I would always pee out the upstairs window until the screen started to rust where we peed, the old man talked to us by hand, we got the message.
You made me laugh, F.G. I remember scraping frost off those upstairs bedroom windows many times on those long cold northern Wisconsin winter mornings.

Bob Steele and Tim Holt don't
ring a bell, Tom Mix and Lash Larue I've heard of but am not familiar with; everyone else I remember, some of which I
was a big fan ! Does everyone
remember the names of Gene Autry's and Hopalong Cassidy's
horses ? Saturday morning programs like Circus Boy, Sky
King, Captain Midnight (later
changed to Jet Jackson -
Flying Commando), Jeff's Collie,
RinTinTin, Looney Tunes/Merrie
Melodies cartoons ? Those were good, decent, common-sense
programs; unfortunately, they've
been replaced with bland,
moronic kids' programs that are just lame and not very funny, amusing, or instructional ! That's entertainment ? I don't think so !
Even our beloved Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and many other Warner Brothers cartoons are
now also so bland that they're
no longer funny ! 'Politically correct' has gone too far; it's gotten out of hand and taken
the 'fun' out of 'funnies' !

We had only an outhouse until it was five years old. Shower in the basement was a Godsend. Chamber pot upstairs.
Kinda brought this bit of humor
to mind; Other than money,
what is the biggest difference between rich people and poor people ?
Rich people have a canopy over their bed; poor people have a
can o' pee under their bed !

Corn silk smoked in corncob pipes unless we could snatch one of dad's camels.
Grew up in a house with three adult smokers; it's a wonder
none of us kids got cancer from
second-hand smoke ! Dad
smoked Chesterfields (about 2 pks./day, non-filtered), mom
smoked Pall Mall (filters), and
my grand-dad (her dad)
alternated between Camels and Lucky Strikes (non-filtered), his cigars and his pipe ! Small
wonder I spent so much time upstairs in my room with the
door closed, reading and
listening to the radio or my
albums ! Tried smoking a little
in my late teens, but never got
into it; it just gave me
headaches and made me nauseous ! In my late-twenties
to mid-thirties, I tried using
smaller (Tiparillos) or milder
(Hav-aTampas) cigars to ward
the 'skeeters and clouds of gnats
out of my face while fishing;
even though I only put up clouds of smoke and didn't inhale, they still made me sick, so I finally
gave up on 'em and started looking for DEET-free, natural
bug repellents !

Rather that selling fond
memories of childhood, it may
be more prudent to invest in
one of those aforementiond
bidet kits; all you'd need is a
little paper or a few designated washcloths to clean and dry
afterwards !
