Cleaning the clothes line of the bird poop before hanging the clothes to dry outside.

BB rifle, you weren't cool if you didn't have a BB rifle at age 8 or 9

Seat belts!! Who needs stinking seat belts?

Electric outlet guards. Really? Where else do you test for power with a fork?

Get a drink from a hose. Admit it, you can still taste that rubber, right?

House keys on a string because one parent kids had to get in the house after school.

Spanked, just the mentioning kept me from getting caught. It was always my sisters fault. Believe that and i have another for you.

Played outside unsupervised, sometimes till after dark.

Hitch hike, how else do you beat the school bus home.
Cleaning the clothes line of the bird poop before ... (show quote)


My first six pickups had the same rifle rack in the back window. I still have the 32" knnack box I bolted into eight pickups. Could buy a good work truck for $ 1000.00. Think I've had ten. Trying to nurse this one forever. Little brother the mechanic said I was the only one he knew could get another 100 k out of a worn out truck.

What is this world coming to. A southerner that doesn't like grits. Okra i could understand, but not grits!!!!


Plum I got ten okra plants on the back fence I can't wait to produce. Half don't make it to the kitchen. Eat it in the yard right off the plant. Raw, steamed, fried, thicken soups, stews. Magic food. You know, like grits.

Learned early on to always carry two buckets. That way you are balanced and the bucket won't bang against your leg splashing slop on you.

Apparently school food in Maine wasn't any better than in Pa or MD. I went to school in MD to finish 3rd grade n all of 4th. My old man couldn't stay put. One day in 4th grade they served chop suey. One bite I was done. Never thought I'd ever like oriental food then. Marine corps mess hall wasn't much better unless you got in good with mess sgt 😂😂

Pliers on the tv knob because they always broke, not coming home until dark playing, having to do daily chores without getting paid, bread truck with all those freshly baked goodie’s, glass milk bottles on the front porch, getting a swat with a big wooden paddle at school at the v.p.office for getting out of line. Wow the good old days when kids we’re taught to respect their elders, each other and peoples property.parents we’re responsible for their kid’s action’s. When God was taught to mean something. We have for a large part lost our moral compass in this country and it’s sad to see it

Remember when the TV made a clunk-clunk-clunk sound as you were changing channels?
