Nostaglia For Those 50+ (N/F)

[Vanselena]

I am not as old as you guys but I remember collecting pop bottles for $.02 a piece.

 

Hopping fences, going down to the creek to catch frogs or tadpoles, even bring home field mice and snakes and watching the snakes eat the mice... mom loved that one...lol.

 

Steeles avenue was the end of the world and driving up to Preston Lake to go to the beach.

 

Building snow forts and having snowball fights at school.

 

Bumper Hitching

 

Egging cars

 

Street hockey when every house had kids.

 

Getting the strap until it hurt to sit down.

 

The kids were the dishwasher.

As a matter of fact, we still have a guy going around our area ringing his bell looking for something to sharpen. I used to take my cart down to the grocery store and buy my dad a pack of craven A's and a 12 pack of Dow beer. I was 10 at the time. Try that today.

I'm not 50 yet either but I remember alot of that stuff.

 

You can still watch Bugs Bunny at 7:30 each night on Teletoon (retro). Despite all the new cartoons on now, my kids like Bugs the best !! It's part of out bedtime routine for my younger son.

 

Squid, we still have a guy that comes around our area as well and sharpens knives scissors etc.. with that distinctive bell.
