I will be 55 in Nov. so I can relate to your post.

I remember having to dial the numbers on the phone, not push buttons.....mailing a letter for 5 cents.....getting mail delivered twice a day.....milk in glass bottles in your milkbox on the front porch...........penny candy at the corner store,
black & white TV with 12 channels and no remote....I WAS the remote, standing there flipping channels until Dad decided what to watch!!

riding my bike or roller skating without full body armor, having free run of the entire town without having the parents worry about 'weirdos'.

Playing outside in the street until it got too dark to see, then you moved under the streetlight to continue to play..

Hours on the front porch with cut-out dolls, or our Barbies, listening to our transistor radios.

In high school typing papers on a manual typewriter and having to do research at the library...not online!

Cruisin around town for hours......gas was 39 cents a gallon!!!

So you are not alone..... there are other "golden oldies" out here!
