maryrose, we just crossed at the same second! what are you doing up??? ;-) i definitely do remember the bottle openers! and i remember glass bottles before they were chic. i also remember my dad not liking cans, because he didn't want us drinking that much soda at once time, and he didn't like the idea of half drunk cans. ha! he used to insist on those big bottles for family using, and it just wasn't fun that way. this is really pushing my memory, but i seem to remember my mother getting milk delivered in glass bottles when i was super little. i'm not sure though.

well what is that stick if it's not plastic? some kind of shiny paper? hmmm. maybe that's what it is. can we get rid of all the plastic wrapping on EVERYTHING? i remember when things weren't wrapped so tightly you couldn't get in them. you know what i really don't like in the way of plastic? all this weirdly scaled children's toys made out of plastic that looks like it'll last into eternity. big ugly odes to plastic. i like old toys that are made of wood or real materials.

Remember when we used a bottle opener for cans & bottles of soda!

I don't think Q-tips are made from plastic, though.  I think they're more like lollipop sticks now.  But yes, much, too much plastic!!!  I don't drink soda anymore, but I think you're right.  (I can't TELL you the last time I had soda...and out of a bottle no less!)

i don't remember that ,elle. but it makes me think how many things we've replaced with plastic. that's not good. soda tastes better out of glass bottles. just sayin'!

Hopefully, no one covered this already.  Remember Q-tips when the stick was made of wood????  I do!

record players can be really cool, mariah, when they play those great old vinyl records we used to get. nothing like a great big old fashioned album to see the art and the words....and it sounds great on a great turntable! vinyl is making a comeback, so i guess record players are too, huh? ....i really liked "men of a certain age". i'm so bummed it got cancelled. i'm  hoping that enough people write in and bring it back. the people i know who like it REALLY like it. the people who don't, don't. i thought it was written well. and it's one of the few shows that takes on the topic of men's feelings.

yes, they are good. hi helen! i'm not saying there isn't anything. but i am mourning the significant decrease in the number of well written, well acted story shows. the rise in reality stuff during prime time has made even good sitcoms disappear. i really liked "men of a certain age", ray romano's new show, but they took that off. sigh. i thought that was really well written. ...anyway speaking of stuff we remember, i remember that i used to think it was so cool that my little friend's family had this huge console of a tv that had a turntable in the top, two speakers built in on either side, room for all the records, and room for all the stereo components! it took up their whole living room! :-)
