Wow, I'm glad to see this thread revitalized! GREAT memories. I don't think I was quite as good as you all!
I remember:
1.Cutting the forks of one bicycle and then taking them to the local welders and having them welded onto my bike so that I had a REAL chopper!!
2.How I used to hate walking or biking home after dark. There was a huge cementary on the way that used to scare the crap out of me!
3. And the miles I used to ride. I used to ride 8 miles to meet my cousins and go swimming. And then looking for someone that could/would toss my bike in their car and at least get me part way home.
4. I remember lots of just plain gettin' in trouble. Once I stole the change bucket at my uncle's house. I was 11 and had a real criminal mind! I took all the change rolled it up and took it to the bank. That was the one flaw that got me caught. The bank said that since we had no account there I would have to put my name and address on every freakin roll. Who could imagine that the cops would check the banks for large change transactions. Ohhh my dad was so proud that I just stole from his brother!!!!
5. How about drugs......no, I'll stay pg13 and shut my mouth!
6. My first computer an IBM 8088 with a 4200 baud modem. No hard drive. You just put one floppy in one slot that was theOS, then put in the software! THen I upgraded and put in a 20MEG harddrive and thought what in the world will ever use that much space
7. I remember the Kennedy asasination
8. The Moon landing.
9. The little drinks that came in wax "bottles" shaped like guns, bottles, etc.
10.Hair half way down my back -

I remember when kids actually had respect!
When they'd hold open the door as you're going through behind them. When they'd walk 5 or 6 side by side through a mall but step aside for people. When they wouldn't talk back to everyone and anyone older than them. When not every 2nd word out of their mouth wasn't a swear word!
I'm only going to be 28 in Sept. but it seems as though the general level of respect of youth has decreased drastically in the past 10 years. -

I remember when:
1. Our public education system actually was an "education system" not an indoctrination system for left wing socialist agendas.
2. Kids saying "sir" and "ma'am" was the rule..not the exception.
3. Playtime ment being outside..with a ball and bat..not all day long on a computer.
4. A man's word and a handshake ment what he said was as good as done.
5. A good old spanking to get a kids attention was an acceptable practice and the thought of "time out" would have been laughed at. (Back then I would have loved it if my Dad had believed in time out..years later I'm glad he didn't.)
6. Fathers and Mothers for the most part didn't walk out on their repsonsibility.
7. People were not "clock watchers" but worked till the work was done.
8. You didn't utter a word during evening newstime until Walter Conkrite ended the broadcast with the words "and thats the way it is."
9. Sunday afternoons ment Fried chicken dinners.
10. A treat from Dad was an RC cola and a moonpie. -
