As we get older, many of us long for the days of our younger years. The details that made up life decades ago are easy to forget, but we are also quickly reminded of things that seem to transport us back in time. Usually it is something small or unimportant that stirs our memories and brings back to life some random moments from childhood. So, sit back and enjoy, because you might be old, if you remember this.

My pediatrician smoked cigars while he was giving me a shot. Consequently, whenever I smelled cigar smoke I always got anxiety about getting shots. He was a good doctor though. During one doctor's appointment, my infant brother was also circumcised right there in the room and then the doctor gave my father a cigar and they both smoked cigars and I threw up. That's quite a memory (1967)!

Blacklite - That black-light poster room had nothing on mine. I had 4 six foot tubes, one on each ceiling wall crease, and everything in my room lit up. I mean everything. I would buy the paint, and my mom got obsessed with buying me stuff from the "Head Shop" because I was too young to go inside myself. The spy craze - You left out Matt Helm movies with Dean Martin and The Saint with Roger Moore before he was 007. Then there was also The Six Million Dollar Man & The Bionic Woman in the late 70's. King Tut - My dad was the Chief Cargo Agent at LAX for United Air Lines Air Cargo in the 70's and 80's. They shipped some of the items for the Los Angeles exhibit, so he and my mother were special guests at a special dinner engagement with guest speakers like archeological scientists and historians. My mother was completely obsessed with Egyptian everything the rest of her life.

I survived those years afterward by willing to move after each job played out from one place to another. Last 3 jobs played out due to being over 55 (age discrimination). In addition, prior to the 90's there was laughter and joy in the work place. The PC movement came into full play in the 90's destroying free speech in the US.

I don't remember much what I did with it, but I remember putting it in a lamp occasionally.. Back in the day I actually never saw a James Bond movie with any actor other than Roger Moore. I was much older when I found out that other actors played Bond, believe it or not. Consequently, Roger Moore is my favorite Bond actor. I watched Mission Impossible occasionally, but never saw Man from U.N.C.L.E. But Get Smart! was one of my favorite shows. That's interesting about the ESTs. I never heard of those. In the 1980s my Dad bought an Atari computer, which had dual foppy drives for the memory. They were the 3 1/2 inch size. Up until this past Spring my parents still had that computer in their basement. They had the complete outfit, with even the floppy disks and Atari magazines. It was amazing.

Smoking was always awful for me as someone with asthma. I always resented having to “deal with it” because I did nothing wrong and the lack of caring or compassion for my ability to breathe when someone smoked drove me nuts. I lived through it in my teens and early twenties working in environments where 90% of my colleagues smoked and needled me into taking it on even knowing I wouldn’t be able to breathe well for two days if I even took a puff without inhaling. I was so glad when I could finally work in an office without putting my coat over my face.

I traveled a lot back in the day, yes smoking was not only tolerated, but it was also embraced by the airlines who secretly thought it relaxed passenger anxiety about flying. They were freely given away in little 3 or 4 to a pack just for the asking. As time went on, you were restricted to the back rows if you wished to smoke but the penalty was you had to suffer with leftover or last call meals because the non-smokers ahead of you had first choice of the menu items. Some airlines sat you in reverse order to serve the smokers first, giving them a competitive advantage by catering to smokers, if I recall Northwest Orient did that.

In my bedroom I had black light posters, bed spread, rug and stickers on the ceiling. There were also a lot of models (glue kind) and painted, also HO train set and HO slot car truck, I also had those army men ( found in grocery stores) Then the stacks of 45s and LPs. This was in the 70s and early 80s when I was a teen. In 1988 I met Debbie Gibson. I met her at a political rally I was speaking. She was one of many bands that showed up to give support. In 88 Debbie Gibson and I made MTV news, as we were dating.

Yep! Just the other day I was talking to a guy with grey in his beard about “the good old days”. He mentioned that he was born in 1983. I was shaken; I’d graduated high school, college, been half-way around the world in the military, married, divorced, lived in 3 different states, by the time he was born. It made me feel lots older than I feel I am.

In the mid 60’s madras was all the rage . There were madras shirts , belts , shoes , pants you name it ! We loved it all the more as the material easily faded once washed . Another must were 😮 weegan (sp ? ) shoes 👟. You were especially cool if you sported madras and weejans! 😊.

Smoking was so common in the 60s and 70s that Doctor’s office waiting rooms, hospital waiting rooms and even hospital patient rooms had ash trays. Cigarette vending machines were literally everywhere with absolutely no monitoring of who used them. If a kid had 35 cents he could buy his own pack of cigarettes and many did start smoking around age 12 and even younger.

When I remember growing up in the 80s the big things that people just don't do is laying on the floor to watch tv. We had a big wood fixture that housed our tv that was very low to the ground. I spent more time with a pillow on the floor watching tv than any other place as a kid. I have never seen or heard of any kid using the floor to watch tv since nowadays you have a big flat screen that is either mounted on the wall or on a pretty tall cabinet or table. Felt like we had a bunch more room because the "Family Room" with the tv was where everyone got together to enjoy their favorite shows which kinda goes along with the "family" sitcoms during the 80s. There was more attention to making room for everyone as opposed to now where everyone play video games or watches streaming on a computer on their own in their own rooms. Not to get too deep into it but I think there was more an emphasis on family than nowadays. Eating, watching tv, and doing chores all seemed to be an event that was shared. Instead of telling someone to take out the trash it was kinda a cleaning event after dinner for everyone to do something. Then after, relaxing together with a couple tv shows.
