Twirling batons, of course. Don't they still make them?My sister had one of these
Isn't seeing that commercial how everyone knew it was time to put up the Christmas decorations?Who remembers
the norelco commercial
Had one.
My sister had one of these
Yup, and I was a member of the Kelly Kadets when I was in 7th grade. I could throw mine higher than our roof and catch it coming down (spinning), but I practiced a LOT. My practice twirling song was "Tracy."
Remember the old safty razor
I did.
My mom had one of these
My mom did, too, and we all fought over who was going to get it when she passed. My younger sister ended up with it. I tried, though.
I still have mine, in the bottom of the "baking" drawer, but I broke the wire years ago trying to cut store-bought cheddar cheese with it. Much too hard.
Anyone who has worked on a farm should remember one of these
Hay hooks. Ours have wooden handles. Couldn't live without them.
Cat's cradle! On the school bus with my best friend, all the way home from school every day. It really didn't take much to keep us amused back then.
Who useta get a star on their homework papers if they did good
Only in the first grade, but yeah.
I have to stop, LOL! Gopher Byrd answered some of the others. I remember all of them. Except that child car seat. When we were kids, the child car seat was Mom's arm thrown across our fronts if she had to stop fast. It worked pretty well, actually.
first one was your autobiography jimmiAnd these two
Of all the times I've tried perms, and put up with the smell. And still, had straight hair the next morning. Not even a perm at a salon held. Then, I found out my mother had the same problem.
flying through the air when a hippo jumped on
I still use several of those words in my daily language. For instance, persnickety, gobsmacked, bamboozled, kerfuffle & brouhaha, and anyone with a dog knows dingleberry. I know all of them, but those are some of the ones I still use on a regular basis, LOL!
However, I learned "discombobulated" as "discombooberated." That might just have been my dad's strange sense of humor, though.

I don't remember that particular Nestle's can, but I DO remember the top! The metal lid that pushed down into the hole in the top of the can. You had to get a spoon to lever it up to open the can. The Nestle's Quick that I remember from childhood had that kind of top, and I think so did the Hershey's Cocoa (for baking). Now we have cardboard "cans" and plastic lids for the cocoa.
Yeah, I've seen those signs and stickers. Not like they mean anything, unless it's for 220V and up. I've fixed and rewired all kinds of stuff back in the 80s and 90s. If I made a mistake, I got a jolt and then I fixed it. I even added a regular light socket to the top of an alarm clock, so the light came on at the time of the alarm.
