Sandy ~ I remember my mom using peanut butter, massaging and rubbing it into the wad of gum, then slowly combing it out with a 'cootie' comb ~~ just kind of slid of the hair.
Linda. I remember those small boxes of chicklets. @ to a box. Also the regular size with 12 in them. They still have them down here in Vancouver, Washington. There are just some many brands around today.....
Valentine’s Day -- Shop for gifts that spell L-O-V-E at MSN Shopping
Metalman I got a kick out of sharing the gum. Can
you save your notch? or How about I got dibs on that.
levis
normal why of talking back then.
save me your butt, give me a hull
got a smoke
only have a half a pack left
you want to spilt on a deck of smokes
you got any cigs
smoking in the lanes with your buddies
hiding from the cops
the boardwalk was a good spot to smoke
lots of bushes, trees to hide your smokes.
at times it rained at nite, the next day
drying your smokes getting wet from the rain.
45 cents a pack of export a
levis
because you are allowed to smoke
at 12 years old.
you feel cool
that your freinds aren't allowed to smoke
but you can.
verdun sure has tons and tons of stories
endless.
metalman This is funny ~~~ but not really. You mentioned sharing the cost of a pack of smokes with a friend....bet some people might think that would be a good practice in this day and age....what with the cost of a pack today. I really did a double take the other day when a guy in the next line up to me bought a carton of ciggies.....$80ish + tax......wheewwwww.
mom 1945
two fellows that work with me, get those smokes
from the indian smoke factory??
the cigs come in a clear plastic bag, a carton
for 15 dollars.
big business out here on ottawa and montreal.
get them anywere that's what they tell me.
i just kicked the guy out of the motel room smoking?
told him smoke that stuff outside, i think its -22 c
outside.
something about those native smokes they sure
smell weird and strong??
maybe they are 10 times worst that the real stuff
hell knows.
Yes, I think you can get them a lot cheaper through Indian connections. Of course, there's always the five finger discount also. Geez you'd think I was a salesperson for cheap ciggies!
I can remember when a flat fifty of players was fifty cents no tax. That was before I was old enough to smoke. We bought them for my grandmother for Christmas. i didn't know that buying her cigarettes was helping to kill her. When I found out later I bought them for my mother-in-law. Ed
Ed you are a laugh a minute!!! I watched my mother die from throat cancer and she smoke for 60 odd years. It was a horrible slow death. I am so thankful I never took up smoking. Dianne
Metalman you got me thinking of some of the things
that were so important to us in those days. Mustang bikes with those handlebars
up near your ears with the bannana seat.
My pea jacket that I was so proud of that I
wore it when it was 90 degrees. My levis jeans, My frist pair of bell bottoms
that I wore to the Rec dance. Desert Boots. Root shoes that made you feel that
you were walking uphill all day. The list could go on for ever.
levis
those bikes are back in style, even choppers
back then i took my mom's kitchen chrome
table legs.
with some hand tools, hammer, drill, visecrip's
two bolts.
you get those easy rider look front end on your
bike.
remember we get new jeans, get some javel
bleach, and the bottom part of those pants
the color is gone?
beatle boots, with those little chains.
on st catherine street back then
they had reitto shoe store, and others
that made your boots to fit your foot.
they made them potatoe toe boots
watching joe cocker back then he wore
blue potatoe toe boots.
the next day i was at reitto
getting him to make me a pair of
the same boots joe cocker had.
yea i had blue potatoe toe boots.
those shoe shops are gone now
Hi Metalman You mentioned buying boots at Reitto boots downtown..Remember the boot store on church above Wellington across from the Church..Same people..The owner's son had a 455 Grand Prix and then went to a 69 or so vette...Years later walked in to the store downtown and there he was...Man I remember those boots...had the high brown pair...thanks for reminding me... Lad
desert boots, pea jackets... almost forgot about those...
RDM.....I remember those articles too and I also remember bell bottoms....!!! Dianne
How old are y'all.......remember white bucks?
Yep...remember those too!!! This is turning into a walk down memory lane...lots of fun!! Di
Beehive hairdo, teasing hair, penny loafers, poodle skirts, crinolins, james dean jackets, pure 60's eh?
Transister radios, lincoln logs, saddle shoes
Wow!!! and don't forget some of the great music.....Elvis, Pat Boone, Connie Francis, Richie Valens, Buddy Holly, Mommas and Poppas, Everly Brothers, Fats Domino, Gene Chandler, Rick Nelson, Roy Orbison......the list is endless dianne
When I was younger (!), whenever I frequented (!) nightspots, I made sure there was a dance floor, or else we'd find somewhere else to go. Yup, I'm a dancer, and if there's nobody to dance with....I dance alone.....or dance with my sister as she's a dancer also. My other half, well, he's not really a dancer, but he tries and I go along with him.
Linda that is why I fall in love with my husband it is because he is a great dancer and we love to jive. Dancing is great exercise....fun! and I know there is a third thing but I can't remember what it is!!!! LOL!! Dianne

Hi All Just thought you would all like this one..I was just in the mall and in the HMV store.Checking out the old timers on CD.Two sales girls were talking about one of their friends who was pissed off because her boyfriend got a lap dance somewhere. So one of the girls goes on to tell the other one that they were out one night and her boyfriend got one and pretty soon the whole group was up and dancing...men and women...lap dances and all...she said it was a great time...She used the word "wild". Now bear in mind this is Ontario....WHERE do you think she was talking about?? She finished up by saying here it is too strict and you could not do that here but over there...... Brought me right back home... True story Lad
Here's another Montreal Spot ,.......I Remember going to one of these restauranys a few years back in Ville Emard,.....and it was a super busy place,.and the food was really good,..and you got lots of it: (incredible amounts it seemd)..................... Anyone else familiar with these STOP restaurants,....................... From the reflection in the window it looks like this one is near or on Atwater I think. could this be the olf Greenspot Restaurant ??????? any of our Montreal members know for sure??
