Does anyone remember saying the Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord's Prayer before class started in the morning? I'm 75.
-
I remember when they played the national anthem at midnight before the TV would sign-off.
-
How about the Service Station where they actually pumped your gas checked your oil and cleaned your windshield.
-
The phone books also served as a book for kids to sit on so they could reach the table.
-
Kids could play on the swings and no one bothered them.
-
Also ice cube trays with handles that pulled up to break the ice into cubes.
-
You forgot the flash cubes you needed to take pictures!
-
Saturday morning cartoons, Church on Sunday, afterwards news paper with pages & pages of coloured funny pages.
-
I remember when babysitting and watching tv at 10 pm the station would have a public service announcement… “It’s 10 o’clock, do you know where your kids are at?”
-
I remember when could dial a certain number and get the correct time, also party lines.
-
As a baby boomer, I've lived my life in the best times this country had to offer. Those days are gone never to return.
-
Have a working rotary phone on my desk. Absolutely baffles the children.
-
It used to be sooooo exciting receiving letters and postcards!!! I miss them.
-
I wouldn't say it was a good old days but man it was way better than today
-
Us boomers really did live the most enriching lives. I would not want to be a teenager now.

This and other YouTube nostalgia videos all seem to have one underlying theme: the old days were special. I'm dang near 70 so most all the things in this video I remember fondly. Cartoons that were mostly on Saturday mornings, no 24 hour TV, spending hours creating a mix tape, going to the library to access the encyclopedia, dime stores. Compared to today's instant access and 24 hour availability makes me realize that if you have a good thing all the time, it's no longer special.

Does anyone remember the paddle? It was an instrument the teachers used to keep us in line. They kept one in their desk drawer or hung one up on the wall for all of us to see. The paddle helped us to keep quiet in school and encouraged us to complete all of our homework before returning to school the next day. And it helped us to have respect for the teachers too.

For boomers and senior citizens, the current market and economy are unnecessarily harder. I'm used to simply purchasing and holding assets, which doesn't seem applicable to the current volatile market, and inflation is catching up with my portfolio. My biggest concern is whether I'll survive after retirement.

Transistor radios, truck that would come through spraying mosquito poison, ice cream man, Happy rain show. I do miss those days.

Love this! Thank you for creating it. Two very minor things that I’d correct: 1. Poor TV reception did not produce pixelation prior to digital TV. You got snow, ghosts, horizontal rolling,, wavy lines etc., but not pixelation. 2. Cartoons where I grew up were on SATURDAY mornings Not on Sundays.
