I remember...........

I remember when I first started buying comics they were only 12 cents...



If I didn't buy a comic, my 25 cent allowance would buy me a bottle of soda, 2 candy bars and 3 tootsie pops...

How are your teeth now?

not so good ! but what I miss more are my comic books I kept them in good condition, after reading them time and time again, in a box, even at a young age, I was convinced they would be worth something, someday... (little did I know then HOW much )

unfortunately... one day while I was at school, my mom's BF got rid of them along with most of my stuffed animals

I guess it's "spilled milk" now, but some things you never forget...

I remember back in the day the car stereo speakers to have was Tenna Mind Blowers. They each had their own amplifier built into the speaker. I loved my mind blowers & sure wish I still had a set!!!

I remember riding down Rossville Boulevard in Chattanooga, TN. in the back of dad's checvy pickup. With my brother and cousins and we were all munching on vine ripe tomatoes out of my grandfathers garden... I was about seven years old and it's a very vivid memory of my childhood.

I also remember playing within the boundaries of the "Volunteer Army Ammunition Plant" as well. I had no idea that place was as dangerous as it was but it was many thousands of acres of woods as well and kids will be kids.

I wish my dad still had the '37 chev. I remember this picture being taken. (pic taken 1-6-73)


I remember the day my dad bought this '69 Plymouth Fury III 383 2bbl


I remember good TV.


And I remember going to a stock car race and seeing "stock" cars raceing.

I remember going to the drive in on Friday nights with my brothers when I was growing up. Three of them had vans & my oldest brother had a 1965 Corvette Sting Ray. He would always let me go with him most of the time unless he was taking his girlfriend. He died in 1979 of a heart attack. I sure miss him. My other three brothers would let me go with them sometimes but when they said no I would hide under their bed & they wouldn't know till it was to late!!! I would wait till they got in and when the went to get pizza & pop corn they got a big surprise when they got back out to their van.

I really miss going to the drive-in

we still have 3 within an hours drive!

We have 2 of them within an hours drive of us to but today's drive ins aren't the same as the old ones that are long gone.

I remember? Yeah, happy when I can just do that!!!

Well, all this drive-in talk got me searchin the web. Seems there is one about 45 min away from me. Better take my kids before that one is gone too

One of the drive in's near me was just built 4 or 5 years ago. It has all new state of the art projectors, screens and fm transmitters for the sound to play through your stereo. It only costs $7 per person for admittance & kids age 3 & under is free. They show 2 new release movies so that is not to bad I guess.

I can remember my dad telling me that as I got older that I would forget about not having responsibility or a care in the world.
Boy 'o' Boy was he right about that.

The older I get the dumber I realize I was...
