They always cut each other's regulator hoses in the days of the 2 hose regulator. They always cut the left hose, which is the exhalation side. |

Lancecrossfire | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 03:26 pm   "Where The Action Is", hosted by Tony Dow after Leave It To Beaver went off the air. It was basically American Bandstand on a beach. I have a Man From UNCLE lunch box and thermos. They were only made 1 year. It took my ex sister in law (who is an antique dealer) 3 years to find it. 7 years ago the pair cost $400. "Secret Agent Man" starring Patrick MacGoohan. He later created a show called "The Prisoner", about what happens to agents who try to quit. |
Soeur | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 03:38 pm   What ever happened to Patrick MacGoohan? I remember watching Disney musicals on the big screen. I remember using knobs & dials to change channels and volume on the TV ...rotary dial phones ...busy signals ...op art ...My Favorite Martian ...Bill Bixby ...cigarette ads on tv ...pez ...nair ...my horoscope diary ...cheez waffles ...the diamond patterened coke can ...mood rings I remember when Mad mazazine came out! |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 03:42 pm   Dipitty-Doo commercials with Sandy Duncan. btw, that product is still going strong. That in itself is amazing to me. Car 54 (Fred Gwenn) he also starred in The Munsters |
Tksoard | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 03:48 pm   My sister and I gave our Barbie Dolls to our 2 younger sisters for their birthday present, along with the carrying case and clothes. No house yet. Betsy Wetsy (friend stole it) Bride doll-very large doll Oxford shirts with fruit loop |

Merlin | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 04:02 pm   The most awesome model you could assemble.......The Visible V8. On completion you watch a scale model of an 8 cylinder engine "run". I hated my sister's Chatty Cathy doll, that thing never was silent. |
Soeur | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 04:07 pm   I remember paint by number kits. I did a score of them. I tried the paint-on-velvet kits too, but went back to tried and true. |
Tess | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 04:52 pm   Soeur, my mom did so many of those paint by number kits...she once did one of The Last Supper...took her forever! We did "paintings" with colored sand, too. Party lines --had one til I was in high school my brother built model airplanes and model cars our old oldsmobile with running boards |
Soeur | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 05:09 pm   Tess, that is funny. I missed that kit and it would have been the absolute last one I would have picked. Landscapes and animals were my forte. I also remember spirographs and those geometric string pictures made with nails. My ouija board which never really gave me any definitive answers on what I needed to know. Does anyone remember that kit where you could make rubber insects by pouring the stuff into heated molds? I remember going from NY to Maine in a VW beetle which had 2 adults, 3 kids and a dog plus enough luggage for 10 days. It took 12 hours as it was a holiday weekend. The dog was a cairn terrier named Pepper and we bonded in the back seat. |
Gail | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 05:51 pm   Creepy Crawlers!! We had one too! Plus a sno-cone machine. We had 2 dachshunds - Solo and Dudley (I now have three Cairn terriers) Woodburning kit, chemistry kit, microscope, easy bake oven . . . Hot wheels, HO Cars, miniture trains, |
Gail | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 05:59 pm   And wasn't the companion to creep crawlers was incredible edibles? I also had a hamster named Skippy, a cat named Trixie and a pair of guinea pigs named Salty and Pepper. I remember a war show on tv but can't remember the name of it. I think it was B & W though. |

R |
Whit4you | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 06:27 pm   LOL! ya crazy 8 balls were THE thing to have when I was in school |
Soeur | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 06:29 pm   I always wanted an ez-bake oven! Those teeny muffin cups and itsy bitsy mixing utensils. Didn't the mix come in paper envelopes? sigh. We had friends whose daughters had every cool toy and game ever invented. One entire wall in their (high-ceilinged) room was shelves stacked with stuff to play. (It always seemed strange that will all those things to play with the two girls fought constantly over the same toy and how they wanted to play it -- but I digress...) Operation was the best game. there was also one which was like a camera obscura which worked with mirrors and projected images onto paper to draw (very hard to figure out) Games: twister, trouble, risk |
Soeur | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 06:30 pm   Oh! does anyone remember those click-clack balls that were recalled because they could explode and blind kids? they were fun! |
Gail | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 06:35 pm   Anyone remember that stuff where you shaped pieces of wire and dipped them into some kind of colored plastic and wound them together into flowers. Remember the fringed leather jackets and camel chaser shoes? |
Tksoard | Saturday, May 12, 2001 - 06:36 pm   My very favorite games were Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders. For the last Many years, I've been buying them for kids in the family for Christmas. Whit, Thank you for doing this thread!! I cried alittle this afternoon thinking about how old I feel and the memories that won't stop. Mostly good. But some bad, like I miss my dad. Oh well! I'll keep going down memory lane and get over it. Thanks for the Memories (Dean Martin?). |
