Yeah for caller id! I make no excuses for not calling people back. They are lucky if they get a call back! I know it sounds bad... I'm just not a phone person but rather prefer computer as a way to communicate... obviously! :P

memory lane!

How about column shifters and the floor dimmer switch on old cars?

I also remember when the Crayola box of 64 with the sharpener in the back was introduced. And the Sears Wish Book.

...and my personal favorite (I still use it once in a while)

hmmm, which ones the rectal temperererer!

And how many kids get the enjoyment of a BB gun, pellet gun or pellet pistol before their 10th birthday nowadays? How about a real sled with runners instead of just a plastic thing that looks like a garbage can lid? And it came without a helmet.

Robbie The Robot, (his voicebox spouting "Hi, I'm Robbie the Robot Mechanical Man, Drive Me & Steer Me Wherever You Can" - drove my mom insane! Oh wait, uymm ...I may have been responsible for that)

Visible V-8 for you modelmaker/engineer types....I'm guessing Bobber had one of those

Capt Jeff probably had those little plastic diver dudes whose bums(?) you filled up with baking soda and sent off through the bathtub

I clearly remember saving all the money I'd earned, then having to decide how to budget before shopping for my loved ones, often having to supplement my meager funds with homemade presents.

When my father died, I had been gone from the family home for almost 40 years, yet when I was going through the house, I found many gifts of no monetary value my parents had kept, and almost none of the expensive things I'd bought them latter when money was not an issue for me anymore.

The best things I ever got were those that Dad and I played with together….model airplane kits, fishing gear, etc.

There is nothing you can ever give your kids that they will remember more fondly in their latter years than your time and attention

Christmas for my kids and grandson this year is...

"SAN PEDRO"

think they'll remember? Yup.
