I remember 9 and a half. I guess I'm really pushing it. The half is Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers.


I remember home milk delivery, but I don't remember them being in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers.

I remembered 15 for sure. Some of us know what the memory does as we get older...I used to know but I forgot. Uh...what was the question? Anyway, I just turned 60 last month and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. (And I don't know how it feels to be 60 'cause this is my first time)

I got a score of 11....


My favorites out of the list are drive in movies and records (loved my 45 collection!). Both of these brought back great childhood memories. I think in Massachusetts there are still a couple drive in theaters in existence but they're both a couple hours away from me...


How about 8 track players and the early cell phones (big, clunky and not so portable)?


Life before renting/buying DVDs...when you looked forward to watching "The Wizard of Oz"?
