Re: old TVs. My parents both worked and we had one of the first color TVs in the neighborhood. I still remember watching Disney's Wonderful World of Color each week when it aired. Started in B&W, then Tinkerbell with her magic wand turned the screen into color. It was pure magic. And to this day, I still have a crush on Tinkerbell.

Midnight buffets,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Hop scotch on a sidewalk drawn in chalk,
Poodle skirts,
Sending a fax,
The party-line phone,
When Halloween candy was always a safe treat,
When seeing a girl's knees was risque',
When the theatre ended at night and you walked blocks to your car - safely, unconcerned,
Dressing up for dinner,
Families eating together. Talking (lol).
