We only had fire drills. Although we had an earthquake here in Toronto area back in June of this year.

I remember the fire drills and the air raid drills. Our fire drills used the regular school bells. They had some other siren for the air raid drills. For them, we had to go into the halls and "duck and cover" and a few times my class went into the scary old basement where the boiler room was.0

mbtlcsw01, you may be older, but at least you will know what to do in the event of an atomic bomb! The rest of us only know to walk single file out of the building.
Sugar77, did you feel the earthquake? Who knew that Toronto was on a fault line.

NativeMainer, those are priceless. I remember Space Food Sticks, we got them once, they weren't much of a hit at my house. I can't imagine that the astronauts on the lunar mission enjoyed them much either.

What a hoot to see the picture of us hiding under our desks. South Louisiana was pretty close to Cuba.

Get Smart and Don Adams saying "missed it by that much." or "sorry, Chief."

I know we all had go-go boots (from Hulla bullu and Shindig). How about the John Romaine pocketbooks, troll dolls. Wearing rubber bands around the top of your knee socks so they stayed up. I remember when I was little and I wore a slip with my dresses. If the slip stuck out at the bottom beyond my dress my mom would tell me to raise my arms and she would tie a string around my waste to inch up my slip a little. I remember when the first hand held hair drier came out to dry your hair, otherwise it was sitting under the hair dryer waiting forever to dry. Icee's (like Slurpies) but had the polar bear and you saved points off of the cup. Going to the drug store for a soda and drinking out of paper straws. I would always flatten mine and nothing would come out. High beam button on the floor of the car and wing windows. I sure do miss those. Those long stocking hats that went halfway down your back. Oh I just love going back.

Every time I read one of these posts, memories come flooding back. Too much fun.
Remembe Skee Ball, and juke boxes that actually had records in them. Come to mention it, remember records? Those 45s that you could buy for a dollar, and it would have the hit song as well as the B side (sometimes the B sides were better than the A sides). They had those little yellow inserts so they could be played on the HiFi. Remember when you had to get up off the couch to change the tv channel?

I was at work and couldn't see the picture I posted with Space Food Sticks and Tang with the metal screw lid, last page. Can you guys see it?

That's what I was afraid of. I wonder why I can still see it?

It was just a picture of a box of Space food Sticks and a old Tang jar. I remember the sound as you unscrewed the metal lid, and there was a little Tang grit on the jar! And taking a spoon and popping the paper seal. A lot easier to break than the super strong ones these days.

We even had Tang is Aus and I loved the stuff!

DH came in on monday and asked if I knew what Vegemite was. I asked if he was wondering why I had a jar of it in the fridge. He said no, just heard someone make a comment about it on TV.
Vegemite and avacado on toast...Mmm

Meece, is it the real Vegemite or the pretend cheesymite? We are not that far forward thinking nor do we have the funds for a space program, the closest we get is a launching pad at Woomera in central Aust that the I think, Japanese have used to launch ......oh damn....I'm am brain dead today....that's it.....a satelite....daaa.

Kraft Vegemite, direct from Australia.

I remember my younger sister had a Chrissy doll and a very big baby doll that was life size but I can't remember the name. Unfortunately, I was still in school in the early sixties and a young married with family in the seventies so didn't have time to get caught up with trend and such like. I was always way too mature in the head to follow any of that....unfortunately for me i feel I actually missed out on a whole lot. As you all post your memories here, My brain does a jump of recognition of some things and I am now living young through all your memories...Thank you.

I just love Vegemite. Another way to eat it is cucumber and vegie sandwiches. vegie and cheese sandwiches. It also makes an added richness to stock and gravy.

Oh god! I Love Lucy....I do remember most of the episodes and yes that one is very funny. I also like the one where she is in Italy and ends up in the large barrel stomping grapes for wine.

Both of those episodes are memoerable!

Vegemite and cucumber sounds yummy. I think Vegemite is an aquired taste. I guess if you tell a guy what it is derived from,they might give it a try.

I don't tell guys what anything is made of....I just tell them if it tastes good eat it. That way they can't say they don't like it before they try it...lol
