(6,275 posts)at the time and I can easily remember all of that crap. Heck I remember Ike. I remember when all TV screens were rather small and the set got hot. I remember the service men and women coming home from Korea and our strong presence in Germany. I remember the Mother's March of Dimes and how every year awful toll polio took on kids. I remember when car doors slammed shut with a good tight feel and sound. I remember doo-wop and a time before the Beatles. I remember party line phones. Most of all I remember how differently people treated each other. We might have thought the guy next door was a skunk but we kept that to ourselves mostly. Where I came from it was considered to be rude to call people out like that publicly. No need to. Everybody could figure it out and they likely wouldn't change if you did.
Thanks for stirring my old memories.
