I Remember When..........

I remember when men and boys would remove their hat when inside most establishments and homes.
The only time I remember playing in the street was during the summer after dinner, playing “kick the can” until it got too dark to play any more. We had a sandlot where we played baseball and our back yards for badminton or sleeping out over nite in our tents. Great times, fondly missed.
Kick the can was a popular pick-up game during difficult economic times. The origin is unknown, but during the Great Depression in the 1930s the game was a popular pastime because it did not require a playing field, nor any designated equipment other than a discarded can or other kickable object

To offer your seat to a woman or older person on the bus, hold the door open for others and stand up if a woman came into the room.
It’s getting harder to find an older person to whom I can give away my seat.
We were taught that on the first day of Kindergarten.
The other day I took a nap, and woke up with bed head... I was supposed to go see a children's Christmas choir singing in a church.
I only had about 15 minutes to get ready and leave. So as a last I resort I grabbed my Elmer Fudd orange cap and put it on and headed out.
I never wear hats.
When I got to the church I remembered the out of date rules regarding hats... My dad did too, he reminded me of this. I explained that I had no choice because of the bed head, and went on into the church. He rolled his eyes.
When we got in there I counted 9 or 10 hats.... so there's that.

Then you can be seated again after she is.
And just remember to ask permission first if you need to be excused.
Not in our church. Never see a man or boy wearing a hat.
I remember getting laid off work for the winter. The company gave us our last pay packet New Year's Eve with a bonus to see us through until Unemployment kicked in. We'd show back up March 1st. As I froze my hind end off last week, I thought of this with a little more than a longing for the old days
Who remembers taking their driving test using hand signals for turns while driving a stick shift ? 
Took my test driving an old '65 Comet with 3 on the column and had to use hand signals.Who remembers taking their driving test using hand signals for turns while driving a stick shift ?
For me it was an old Nash Rambler with three on the tree.
