Kids of the 60s 70s and 80s

[Socrates]

According to today's regulators and educrats, those of us who
were kids in the 60's, 70's and early 80's probably shouldn't have survived, because:
Our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based paint which was promptly chewed and licked. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or latches on doors or cabinets and it was fine to play with pans.
When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets, just flip flops and fluorescent 'clackers' on our wheels. (I think you will find they were known as spokey dokeys — some old git wrote this)
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or airbags riding in the passenger seat was a treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle and it tasted thesame.
We ate chips, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy pop with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing.
We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and no-one actually died from this.
We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then went top speed down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We would leave home in the morning and could play all day, as long as we were back before it got dark. No one was able to reach us and no one minded.
We did not have Play stations or X-Boxes, no video games at all. No 99 channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet chat rooms. We had friends we went outside and found them.
We played elastics and street rounders, and sometimes that ball really hurt.
We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones but there were no lawsuits.
We had full on fist fights but no prosecution followed from other parents.
We played knock-down-ginger and were afraid of the owners catching us.
We walked to friend's homes.
We also, believe it or not, WALKED to school; we didn't rely on mummy or daddy to drive us to school, which was just round the corner. (I'd like to add if they did drive a car it wasn't a huge bull bar equipped 4x4 SUV)
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls.
We rode bikes in packs of 7 and wore our coats by only the hood.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law.This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and
problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

And you're one of them. Congratulations!

Pass this on to others who have had the luck to grow up as real kids, before lawyers and government regulated our lives, for our own good.

For those of you who aren't old enough, thought you might like to read about us.

This my friends, is surprisingly frightening......and it might put a
smile on your face: The majority of students in universities today were born in 1983........They are called youth:
They have never heard of We are the World, We are the children, and the Uptown Girl they know is by Westlife not Billy Joel.
They have never heard of Rick Astley, Bananarama, Nena or Belinda Carlisle.
For them, there has always been only one Germany and one Vietnam.
AIDS has existed since they were born.
CD's have existed since they were born.
Michael Jackson has always been white.
To them John Travolta has always been round in shape and they can't imagine how this fat guy could be a god of dance.
They believe that Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible are films from last year.
They can never imagine life before computers.
They'll never have pretended to be the A Team, Red Hand Gang or the Famous Five.
They'll never have applied to be on Jim'll Fix It or Why Don't You.
They can't believe a black and white television ever existed and don't even know how to switch on a TV without a remote control.
And they will never understand how we could leave the house without a mobile phone.Now let's check if we're getting old...
You understand what was written above and you smile.
You need to sleep more, usually until the afternoon, after a night out.
Your friends are getting married/already married.
You are always surprised to see small children playing comfortably with computers.
When you see teenagers with mobile phones, you shake your head.
You remember watching Dirty Den in EastEnders the first time around.
You meet your friends from time to time, talking about the good old days, repeating again all the funny stories you have experienced together.
Having read this mail, you are thinking of forwarding it to some
other friends because you think they will like it too...

Yes, you're getting older!!!!

I think that was a rather rude post this being my birthday week.

If I had the energy I'd run over there in my PF Flyers and hit you with my metal slinky.

We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then went top speed down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

OW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever happened to Belinda Carlisle? And let's not forget that Chicago is probably just a city in Illinois and Air Supply is, well, the stuff we'll lack if we chop down all the trees as the environmentalist whackos predict.

My husband and I were just talking the other night about how amazing it is that any of us lived to adulthood. Between riding our tricycles to grandma's house a few blocks away and riding up on the little space by the back window in the car (or better yet, the "way back" of a station wagon or van!), it's stunning to think we're still alive.

Happy Bday, troutk13!

*sigh* Metal slinkies. I had one of those. I never had any Weebles though. Anyone have Weebles that "wobble but they don't fall down"? How about a Lite Bright?

[Patroclus]

I was born in '81.

Our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based paint which was promptly chewed and licked. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or latches on doors or cabinets and it was fine to play with pans.

True for me, except that my mom would get mad when I played with pans - too much noise.

When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets, just flip flops and fluorescent 'clackers' on our wheels. (I think you will find they were known as spokey dokeys — some old git wrote this)

...or "clackers" in the US. Of course, wearing a helmet is a bad idea. I remember the time I was riding my bike to work and, after looking left at traffic, a low branch smacked me in the head, separating the foam from the plastic in my helmet. I always wear my helmet.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or airbags riding in the passenger seat was a treat.

And we also drove more slowly. Though, an abrubtly stopped automobile that just prior was traveling only thirty miles an hour has the force to propel a child through a windshield.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle and it tasted the same.

Yeah, that was cool.

We ate chips, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy pop with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing.

And soda was a treat, not something you expected with every meal.

We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and no-one actually died from this.

Nobody? I didn't share drinks. I had an immune deficiency.

We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then went top speed down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

I didn't build go-carts, but I remember trying to build flying contraptions, playing swords with sticks, etc. and receiving more than a few cuts a bruises. It didn't kill me, and I had a lot of fun.

We would leave home in the morning and could play all day, as long as we were back before it got dark. No one was able to reach us and no one minded.

Yeah, that was fun too.

We did not have Play stations or X-Boxes, no video games at all. No 99 channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet chat rooms. We had friends we went outside and found them.

Excuuuuse me, the early eighties had video games. And mobile phones are still the devil.

We played elastics and street rounders, and sometimes that ball really hurt.

That was fun too.

We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones but there were no lawsuits.

Unless you lived in California.

We had full on fist fights but no prosecution followed from other parents.

Yeah, parents can be dumb.

We played knock-down-ginger and were afraid of the owners catching us.

I am not sure that I even want to know how to play that game.

We walked to friend's homes.
We also, believe it or not, WALKED to school; we didn't rely on mummy or daddy to drive us to school, which was just round the corner. (I'd like to add if they did drive a car it wasn't a huge bull bar equipped 4x4 SUV)

I think SUVs should be banned.

We made up games with sticks and tennis balls.
We rode bikes in packs of 7 and wore our coats by only the hood.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law.This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and
problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

And I am at the apex of it all! Maybe not yet, but you wait and see.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

Um... but what about today's parents? When do you think they were born?

And you're one of them. Congratulations!

Thanks!

Play outside, especially swimming, riding my bike, climbing trees and hopscotch


:shades:

[Esther]

Ah, yes! Records! My dad's record player played (besides the big ones) the little 45s and 72s. I had a little one that played 33s and 45s.

[Sher]

Yep ... I remember all those things too.

Now ... helmets and seatbelts? I fully agree with those ... and we did do some unsafe things as children ... but we ARE entirely too overregulated ... and as a result, kids don't know how to be kids ... and we have guns, knives, and severe bullying in the schools.

What? :D Here's a cockapoo puppy. Ain't he cute?

[Undomiel]

and here's a grownup cockapoo

[Undomiel]

and this cockapoo is just dripping with character.

[Patroclus]

Sorry, I have been reading too much Bahktin and his scatalogical formalism.

[Rubia Warren]

I had a cockapoo when I was a kid. Her name was Missy, she was chocolate brown and so cool.
My best friend growing up was my other dog, whom I had since I was 5 and he died when I was 18- his name was Joshua, and he was a weimeraner (sp?). We left in the morning and came back at dark.... we'd go out in the woods and go to the swamp and catch salamanders.... we'd go swimming in the lake (and pray my dad didn't catch me swimming without his supervision- I wasn't a good swimmer and still am not- I'm a freak)......
I had a blue bike with a banana seat with a butterfly on it- it was so cool!
I did not mess with my father..... if he said jump I asked how high and I did it. I didn't expect to be taxied around to all of my activities like dance classes, etc. because not many kids back then had the opportunity (although it is not entirely a bad thing for kids to be involved in things like that today).
I had an atari when they first came out and it was amazing!
And what really thrilled me was getting a WALKMAN when they came out.... I was only around 7 years old..... and my grandma paid over 100 dollars for it (that was a lot back then).
I played with raggedy ann and andy, and strawberry shortcake. My mom has my strawberry shortcake collection (I had almost all of them) still put away in her closet, shrink-wrapped. I also had a slingshot (called a wristrocket) and a BB gun and those were so much fun! I wasn't a huge tomboy- I was kinda half-girly, and half-tomboy.
My parents were teens in the 70s so they always had Eagles records, Frank Zappa, Santana, Yes, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc. playing in the house.
My favorite book when I was a kid was Charlotte's Web.... I cried when Charlotte died. And I belonged to the Weekly Reader book club (hasn't that changed into something else now?)
I remember I couldn't wait for the book fairs at school.... and they were so cheap too- I totally made out every time..... but now the book fairs are outrageously expensive (my kids don't even get to go at all).
My parents never missed an episode of Mash....
and later, I never missed The Hulk, and The Muppet Show, and The Dukes Of Hazzard. My mom was totally hooked on Dallas. Who shot JR, anyways?

[Bill the Cat]

4 words for ya... BJ and the Bear!!

[RumTumTugger]

I remember Legos and matchbox and hotwheel cars, playing war(using sticks) with my brothers and sister, my Francie Doll(Barbies Friend my mom thought Barbie to well endowed), metal slinkys(which you can get from a place or could at universal studios citywalk, I have one.) the lite bright. Making forts in the long grass behind our house tree houses, First run Star Trek, Dark Shadows etc..

Thanks Socrates for the walk down memory lane. :smile:

"You will know it is time to turn the page

:shocked: I remember that!!! I'm OLD!!! Though the only record player I had was a Raggedy Ann and Andy one.

IMO a big divide is between people born before and after 1980. I was born in '75 so I'm just old enough to remember:

- record players
- rotary phones
- B&W TVs (all we had was a B&W until I was in grade school, actually)
- seeing a Star Wars movie when it was first released in the theater (Return of the Jedi)

Though thanks to my dad bringing a computer home for me on the weekends, I did grow up with computers.

[elysian]

I was born in 1969 (yes that is the truth, no that is NOT funny) and grew up in a backwater town that was stuck in a time warp- about 20 years behind the rest of the world.

I remember 45 records- Mom and Dad loved Elvis, the Beatles (before they got long hair, tuned in and dropped out) and all those late 50's/ early 60's forgettable girl groups. I also remember 8 track tapes, especially Dad's Flip Wilson tape that Mom said was dirty but we listened to it anyway when she wasn't around. You didn't dare to talk back to Mom or Dad- or even to another adult- because you'd get your mouth washed out with soap or your fanny swatted. And there were words you simply didn't use at all.

I remember being able to run and ride bikes and not having a whole lot of things to do outside of school. Summers were the best because there was the pool and bike riding and playing with dolls and we pretty much had the run of the town at least during the day.

I remember coming of age in the "Big 80's-" Big hair (even I had big hair once, dreadful, difficult and expensive to maintain) and arena rock- I still have every one of the Journey albums released (but now they're on CD, the ex-husband ended with all my LP's.) Michael Jackson was still black but considered very weird. I remember with fondness when men's trousers were worn at the natural waist, and it was "cool" to be well groomed. The first computer I ever saw or used was in high school- one of those awful Radio Shack "PC's" that used cassette tapes for memory and didn't really do much other than simulate a bouncing ball on the screen. The closest we got to "gaming systems" were the Atari consoles with the really primitive graphics that we thought were "cutting edge."

My son (age 12) thinks its absolutely hilarious we didn't have cell phones or CD players or computers or Play Station games, but then I'm not the one who wants to wear my pants waist at my knees with my underwear hanging out either. And I simply can't understand rap for the life of me.

[Jedidiah]

Socrates,

I never heared of them either, after my time. :grin:

They can't believe a black and white television ever existed and don't even know how to switch on a TV without a remote control.

How about no TV.

Surely I am not the only one from the 40's. :eh:

beeman

[mossrose]

Kid of the mid-50's here. And it sounds like most of you are still just babes-in-the-woods. Good thing some of us wise ones are here to keep you on track!

:shifty:

[Undomiel]

hehe I saw Star Wars: A New Hope, in the theaters when it first came out. I was born in the late 50's as well. I also had a metal slinky. We didn't get a color TV till the 70's. I had a Rod Stewart (remember him?) hairstyle. I had a pair of bell-bottomed jeans with Woodstock photos repeated on them over and over again. I had a fringe jacket and fringe boots. 4-inch platform shoes. The music was Led Zeppelin, Yes, Who, KISS, David Bowie, Jefferson Airplane, Carly Simon, James Taylor, Sonny and Cher, The Osmond Brothers, the Jackson Five, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Diana Ross and the Supremes. The Motown Sound. Glitter Rock. Acid Rock. Elton John. BATMAN the TV show, with Adam West as Batman - the campiest show on tv. My first pc was a Texas Instruments T180 or something to that effect. Our first remote control was attached by a wire to our first VCR.

When I was a kid there were no microwave ovens, no cordless phones or cordless remote controls or handhelds. No color tvs. No VCRs. No cable tv. No CDs or DVDs or VHS. TV reception was unsatisfactory as it relied on antennas, often just a pair of "rabbit ear" antennas connected to the tv. UHF channels (channels above 12) were still unheard of. The only channels worth watching were the major networks (NBC, CBS, ABC). Man first walked on the Moon. President Kennedy was assassinated. Martin Luther King was assassinated. Marilyn Monroe was found dead. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison [The Doors] all died from drug overdoses. Doris Day was America's sweetheart.

Woodstock (the original) was a big deal. Rock Hudson was still alive. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were remarried to each other, countless times. Charlton Heston was Moses in the Ten Commandments. Cassius Clay became Muhammad Ali. Elvis Prestley movies were a hot item. You ate 3 square meals a day and snacks were an infrequent treat. You could fill an entire bag full of candy for 1 dollar. Pornography was not allowed in retail stores. A & W rootbeer was en vogue. Soda only came in glass bottles and cost a nickel. If you wanted to eat, you cooked the food on the stove top or baked it in the oven. No pizza delivery or chinese food delivery back then.

C-sections and abortions were unheard of. Homosexuals still hadn't come out of the closet. People with panic disorders went undiagnosed and were given tranquillizers and sent home, many of them became seriously addicted. Cigarettes could be purchased by children and cost 25-45 cents a pack. No such thing as unleaded gas for vehicles. Most cars had V-8 engines and were built like tanks. FM Radio was unheard of. The commercials on tv were frequently better than the tv shows. Tarzan was cool. Old Yellar was a popular Disney film, and Beauty and the Beast hadn't been made yet.

Gads, I could go on and on, so many things have changed.

I remember being able to run and ride bikes and not having a whole lot of things to do outside of school. Summers were the best because there was the pool and bike riding and playing with dolls and we pretty much had the run of the town at least during the day.

And parents weren't scared to let their kids out of their site for a day of dirt hills bike racing. Kids getting hurt at others' house was not an instant law suit either.

I worked in a craft store for a couple of years in the mid-nineties. We had kids come in at Christmas time for classes and a take- home project. There were 2 phones in the store, the one in the front had buttons, but the one in the back had a dial.

I will never forget the 10-year old who had to come to the front of the store to use the phone to call his mom to come and pick him up. He didn't know how to use the dial phone, and apparantly was not interested in having someone show him how to stick his finger in the little hole over each number and move the dial!!

Talk about culture shock........ :shocked:

[Sher]

:rofl: Dial telephones on a pulse line ... listening to the ratchey-ratch sound as the numbers went through :smile:

I think it is so funny when a few of us at work start talking about "old times" ... and the youngsters begin asking, 'what's X?' or 'what's Y?' :rofl:

I remember when character education was felt boards tellings of Jonah and the Whale, the Deluge, and Easter/the Empty Tomb.

I remember when people still thought it important to have character. Sigh ...

[Patroclus]

I wore horizontal stripes. Our house was brown. My dad's lapels were shrinking as my parents both realed in their new-found conservative, nuclear couple after being hippies. They met in a New Age group, and my Mom raised me on songs from the Jesus Movement (a few of which she had written). I wore baby bell-bottoms and velcro sneakers (they weren't "retro" at the time).

My dad was getting rid of a lot of old shirts this last weekend. I inhereted a few. Two, in particular, were from the early eighties (80-83 or so). I wore one to school today. The kids called it "retro" or "farmer." I said that it could be "retro" if it was older than all of them and was in style when first sold.
