Holy cow I forgot to bring up quality stamps! My mom got me a General Lee at the quality stamps store and I bet I put 100000 miles on that toy. Man, good times.

I was born in 76 and we certainly had a rotary phone till I was nearly grown. Took five minutes to dial someone and when it rang it gave you a heart attack! I too remember rusty metal playground equipment, never knew it should look any other way. Don't remember milkmen or block ice thought my grandparents who lived in Sheffield Alabama had both. My granddad still referred to the fridge as the "icebox". But I always thought their talks about these things as cool and nostalgic. My 18 year old thinks I'm the dumbest man she knows with an M.A.!
