Friendly, helpful gas station attendants that will pump your gas, check your oil and tire pressure, clean your windshield and give you a free glass with a fill-up.
Flared pants, jeans or other, for boys instead of the baggy crap they wear now.
The cheerful, happy sales clerk, that dresses nicely. (Gads! Going into Walmart after midnight is like going into rag city! The employees mostly dress like bums.)
Cheap gas!
Cheap smokes!
Skirts for women.
Cars that do not all look the same.
Coke in glass bottles that is cheap. ($9 for a 12 pack now is ridiculous)! Coke tastes best in glass.
The return of Nehi soda in all of it’s marvelous flavors in GLASS.
The big ol’ ice filled, galvanized soda coolers out in front of small stores where your hand goes numb as you dredge up a cold one from the very bottom in the melt water.
70’s hairstyles for women.
80s hair styles for men.
Hair on heads, instead of the shaven or bald look.
Musical groups that play their own instruments, unlike the current boy and girl (insipid) bands.
I remember when I was in school kids got beat up and teased, but no one got shot. In fact, kids have been getting beat up and teased since the beginning of public school. It’s a sad fact of life, but it happens. The school shootings are a recent (and very disturbing…that’s not even a strong enough word) trend. Fighting and teasing is age old. I think that’s what the original poster was trying to say.
This is why i own the shit i do! Sure, all my cow-orkers laugh at me about all the stange, old cobby shit I drive, and sure they stop running periodicly. But when they do, I can get them running again, while they need to have theirs towed and it cost huge $$ to get going again. The last time i had a problem with my car, it cost me .74 cents for a foot of fuel hose. My fool buddy was out $460 plus the tow bill!
i would like to see winters that start at halloween and end in mid-april, like when i was a kid. lately, they have been startin’ about jan and running thru may.
