I remember being able to clean my guns on an airplane after a competition in order to be ready for the next days shooting competition. At the same time having a mixed drink and smoking a cigarette.

I'm so old I remember... Cloth diapers no disposable diapers.. you order you diapers from the laundry and they would drop them off and pick up the dirty ones.. 2-3 dozen came every 2nd or 3rd day. $28.00 a month for the service and a extra dozen for long holidays or just phone call away..

I was asking her if she remembered them or if they had been something I just imaged (I have a memory problem) I always wanted to have a lemonade stand but we lived out in the country closest neighbor was a

I also wanted to have one of those Uncle Jimmy's Clubhouse fairs for charity (WOW Uncle Jimmy, where did that come from???it just popped into my head!!!) maybe this thread is doing me some good. Remember the game where you tried to pop the balloon by sitting on it? How about musical chairs? The magic mirror, from Romper Room? What was it? Rompem, ??????, stompem, doo, tell me, tell me, tell me, who..... WHAT WAS that second word???

I remember going to the theatre and paying extra to sit in plush seats in a balcony called "Loges" (sp).

I would sit in the front row and look down on the people below who paid regular admission to watch the movie in small wooden seats....luved those soft seats.
