I worked and rode with a traveling circus as a teenager in the 70's.
("George Mathews Great London Circus from England")
We slept and eat outside just like a wagon train.

I remember when tv dinners were the rage and came in aluminum trays.
I remember when Jiffy Pop was new and the commercial showing the foil cover growing bigger and bigger.
I remember when parents would use honey to give their babies medicine or a spoonful of liquor to help them sleep.
I remember when billboards advertising cigarettes were everywhere.
I remeber when there was no such thing as microwaves, cordless phones, cell phones, camcorders, color tv's, DVD's or players, video games, VHS tapes or players, music using electricity only by record players.
Video cameras that looked like something a news crew would use.

Girl you and me both have some of the same memories (check out my list that I posted a few days ago. That camera thing, wow I can remember my father having one of those and trying to tape us at WDW and he had to put the other part of the camera in a stroller. LOL
I have to add some more to my list:
-Orange and brown color furniture
-The 10" screen TV's at the airports that you put 2 quarters in to watch a show while you wait for your flight
- Espirit and Bennetton
- Miller and Rhodes and Thalhimer's
- When you could not eat the red M&M's
- I love this commercial I remember this:
I remember we use to go outside to play. You don't see much of that anymore.
.
Yes, outside to play games like:
- kick ball
- flashlight tag (at night of course)
- Freeze tag
- Kick the can
- Dodge ball
- Basketball
- Sharks and minnows
- regualar tag
- around the world and HORSE (basket ball game)
- Monkey in the middle
- Ring and Run
- Tag football
Other things that I would do was ride my bike 5 miles away to go and buy candy.
- Go wading in the lake that we lived near, that was about 3 miles away and I would ride my bike to that lake
- Play in the creek
- In the summer hang at the pool.
Ah, the times when everything was much more safer.
