yeah, when you were slim enough to fit the sandwich board(s).

I remember when 8 track was cutting edge. I remember typewriters, IBM Selectrics were so cool, you could backspace and automatically correct! I remember when a mainframe computer took up a whole room, and probably had less memory than my Kindle fire. I remember when we got IBM286 computers at work, that was cutting edge then, of course they were replaced a year later. I remember the dawn of email, we had no Outlook to save them, we had to print them all!

I can remember attending eight day assemblies evey year.
When girls were forbidden to wear pants to school.
When majority of women stayed at home to take care of their children.
T.V. had big tubes in them.
I Had one of those IBM typewriters.
And I thought special street work was fun! At least I think it was called working the streets.Now they ride buses.
