And yes, I am a baby boomer!!...=)
1946-1964 are the baby boomers. My best friend (now deceased) was born in '46. He was also a gemini like me and had almost the same exact birthday.
People juggling the hot flash bulb, so they could get another shot. HOT,HOT,HOT.
Still have one somewhere.
Bell bottom pants?
Street rods?
Trying to sneak in after being out to late on a date?
My girlfriend had moved about 20 miles away and I borrowed my brothers Opel Cadet so I could get there and back on about 50 cents.
If the cops caught you with beer, they just told you not to do it anymore and took it home with them.
I remember filling up my pinto when I was sixteeen for about three dollars,,,,,I used to babysit for 25cents per hour,,,I havent used a baby sitter in years but I paid 5 dollars per hour...I used to smoke and I remember cigarettes being 35 cents a pack......
and hey what about 8 track players LOL
Lucky dog, I had six brothers, we couldn't get the fizzys.
When Cherie was 9, I was a gas station attendant and gas had zoomed out of site at 38.6 cents a gallon, gas was still raised by 1/10th. of a cent, the pumps still dinged with every gallon. If we didn't address our customers as mam, or sir, and ask them if they wanted their tires, oil, or any other fluids checked, or didn't clean all the windows, we bought the gas. I was paid $1.65 an hour. We jogged to the car.
Some of you girls got a very, very clean windshield. Yea...... those were the days.
Do you remember those drinks called "Fizzies" they were flat tablets that you dropped into cold water and they fizzed and they came in different flavors. I was just thinking about those today.

Oh wow, I remember lots of what you guys are posting. I sure do remember the gas wars, why, my folks thought that gas at 30 cents a gallon was high. Oh, to have those days back.
I remember the gas station attendants, they wore uniforms, and they did everything but clean the entire car.
I always wanted a color TV when I was a kid, but, we had the ole faithful black and white one. My friend next door had one, so, every Sunday, I would go over to her house and watch "The Wonderful World Of Disney". I miss those days so much.
I don't think we really appreciated those times, but, boy, I sure do now.
How about when they washed your windows and checked your oil!!! Oh i whined and whined for a color tv and my mother said the black and white was good enough. The rabbit ears stuck out half way across the living room!!!!
Remember when the milk man brought milk to your house and you left the order on the door and he walked in and put them in your fridge??
Bread bags in our snow boots so our socks stayed dry!!!!!!
