RIP Mr. Williams... you are and will be missed!

Me. I loved to listen to Genesis and Annie Lennox and follow the lyrics

I recently bought quite an expensive polaroid camera. It turns out that with a real camera, I take terrible pictures.

You remember how fast that "bubble gum" turned into a concrete like substance?

To be fair, we didn't have as much to look at.

I'm so much faster texting like that than on a smartphone!

As I've seen kids struggle with a mail box I fully expect them to believe you.

And still one of the best satires on TV.

Back when Pizza Hut was a dine-in restaurant

I remember when only ONE studio was named in the opening credits.

I wouldn't mind one now.

One hand and two paws raised over here.

That embarrassment of needing to sharpen your pencil while the teacher scowls at you for interrupting her lesson and the whole class is staring.

I can SMELL all of these pictures.

The sausage pizza was always gone.

(raises hand) Ackshally, I think I'm even older! When I was at school, computers weren't even punch cards! That's right, between 1956 and 1962, proper computers didn't exist for nearly everyone in Australia!

Upper right makes me glad that school lunches weren't a thing here when I was a kid

Yes

The pencil sharpener is the one I remember. The rest were probably in other schools.

Loved the teachers pencil sharpener.

"To Jen, private" meant the class weasel got hold of it and read it out loud to everyone in the class.

My 1st home computer ran on cassette tapes.

OMG

I just bought one of those pencil sharpeners at a flea market because I haven't found a single manual or electric pencil sharpener made today that doesn't break the tip of my colored pencils!

I remember all the different ways we learned to fold notes. I miss passing notes in the hall between classes!

we still have those pencil sharpeners at my school, not sure why anyone uses them cus they break when you blow on them but they are still there

🙋

These made for fun bath time toys, and the doctor waiting room was full of them (and Highlights magazines).

Until rhe cat figured out how to work it

And the dark shirts in the sun

I shudder just thinking about the noise. It was worse when the poster fell on your head.

And then you would pretend to shoot laser beams like Cyclops

I just heard Kevin Hart in Jumanji 2, "I'm gonna *whup* yo a*s!"

I immediately thought of that one Doctor Who episode

Let me tell you the tale of the glass salad bowl in the form of..salad leafs. Every adult (35-40yrs) household had them when I was a kid.... and when I became an adult I realized they just turn up in random 35 years old households. Noone ever bought them. Last month we went to a thrift store and there it was... Since I have no parents/grandparents I was compelled to buy it...So now, at 37 I too have a salad formed glass salad bowl.

My 22 year old son and I will still make one in the Living Room and watch some of our favorite movies while sitting in our "castle" fort!

That's a bit of a stretch. A meal was about $2.45 here in Canada

I dunno. My mom flipped out when I got home from the store for her because I thought there was enough money left over to buy myself a chocolate bar. That was a scary day for me, realizing one chocolate bar could send us to the poor house. She often said NO! a lot and much of our outings were either free or very cheap, and she fed us porridge and soup a lot.

To my ears, they rang like a bell when you bounced them.

Don't know the intended purpose, but they were great tactile resources for people with sensory needs- my brothers had them on their wheelchair trays.

The Wendy's near me still has this sunroom, but they got rid of the tables with the vintage newspaper ads, and it's kind of sad because now you can drive by and see that there's never anyone in the dining room.

I can smell this, I can hear this, I can feel this... and I'm not sure I like it

It's-- it's beautiful.

Now I use them to make pretty suncatchers

We still have it here Capture-66...16f84e.jpg

Aha! See! See! "Fancy!"

I cried when my first tamagotchi died. I had failed as a father. I was about 8.

How has the guy with the hat in the upper left corner not aged at all???

They still play that in schools.

New fear unlocked: The magic stool bus

Looks like the parents splurged for the rumble packs.

We still have them in sweden.

Still looks like this at my kids book fair where i volunteer

they were useless as pencils, but so fun.
