How about the over the shoe roller skates that you adjusted with a key; and playing kick the can on the street corner.

I loved my roller skates, (now i have that crazy song in my head..."i've got a brand new pair of roller skates....you got a brand new key..."

We played kickball on the street corner....i was at a 4 corner intersection...each corner was a "base" and the manhole cover in the middle was "pitchers mound" I also lived just 2 blocks from the local "sand lot"

How about 1-2-3 Jello...

How many kids do you ever see playing ball & jacks...or marbles...

Five & dime stores. They were a treasure house to a kid with a dollar.
Children having unstructured playtime....and recess 3 X a day (counting lunch) not 45 minutes every 3 days. We learned how to use our imaginations, get along on our own without adult intervention and how to never be bored.
Mealtimes with the entire family sitting down and talking to each other.
Not be available to the entire world 24/7.....no pagers, cell phones or Blackberries.

On the other hand, to be fair, if not for the internet I would never have met my husband....or the cool folks here at collarme.

OK, now I get all those jokes about "your daddy must have been the milkman"!

Ice cold milk in glass bottles.

Oh yes, the milkman. Those little tin boxes that sat on your stoop(porch) where you left a note that in the wee hours of the morning miraculously got filled with milk, OJ, eggs and cheese.

And the market carts, the guys who had horse drawn wagons who went through the neighborhoods yelling "watermelon, cantaloupe, fresh corn, blue crabs, fresh fish" daily.

Hee hee...little onyx. You have to be careful with those kind of bras, might knock someone else over!

Not saying that I would want to wear them, but those 50's style of
bullet bras and tight sweaters + pencil skirts + leather pumps
on women! Oh my!

Mistress Vendaval...I'd wear the bullet bras, but then the way it'd pull my girls up, I wouldn't be able to see in front of me. Tight sweaters, I got that down pretty well. Pencil skirts...well...I preferred the shorter, fuller skirts...that way I could bend over and "accidentally" show my...um...er...nevermind. The leather pumps--I'm down for all the way.

Men wearing elegantly draped suits, hankerchefs in their pockets and fedoras.
(Larry King still wears suspenders.) Nowadays very few men wear
leg garters for their socks. And guys wearing shoes all shined
and polished.

There is still one of those in a small town near us, love it!! They have one of everything.

Did anyone else have to wear smocked dresses to grade school. My Nana loved to do smocking so that's what i wore.

"Church Keys!"
Those openers that they used to have a free box of on the counters of all stores used to open cans and bottles before the days of "flip tops".
I have about 10 old church keys and a couple of antique bottle openers.
One of my brothers didn't look like us so he was called "The Milkman's Kid."

And how about those cast iron meat grinders that my mother used to use to make home-made hash?
Does anyone in here still have one of those?
She'd tighten it to the kitchen table with a built-in vice and start grinding up roast beef pieces or ham.

I have one, it used to be my Moms'

She would run leftover steak through it, mix in some onion, and I don't know what all, but she made some great sandwiches with that thing. My hands don't fit it very well, so I'm looking around for someone with some smaller and softer hands, maybe. I could use a sandwich right about now...

Getting dishes, glasses or towels as gifts inside laundry detergent boxes. My mother got all her dish towels that way & I got the free glasses for my juice.
Speaking of glasses getting jelly or jam packed inside juice glasses. I had an entire Flintstones jelly glass set.
Fizz tabs to make your own fruit flavored soda at home. It was the biggest treat to get to make a glass on Sunday evening and then drink it while watching the Wonderful World of Disney....in technicolor.
The NBC peacock.
Being able to go trick or treating and not have our candy X-rayed or checked for tampering.

Oh yeah, carbon paper! We used to get ahold of it and rub it on our faces when we played "Army."
