    I remember when I wished school to be over and I could start work.....now all I wish for is another shot at school to get it right in my second attempt ..

    I remember when my kids were little..{4 under five.!!} now they are older..I wish they were little again.

    I remember when my hair was black and plenty of it....

    I remember when the Missus cared what I said

    I remember when I thought bricklaying was a good job.....{ probably about the time I thought school needed to be over}

    I remember days when the phone didn't even have a dial, you lifted the handset and asked the operator for the number (1960's).
    I remember milk being delivered in to a tin billy, which we left at the front gate.
    I remember when the iceman (from a local company called Benders I think) brought huge blocks of ice to the ice chest, refrigerators were expensive and we didnt have one (1950's).
    I rememmber the man coming to empty the dunny (night cart) although it only came during the day. It was only for a while, we had a regular toilet but the sewage infrastructure wasn't finished, so we had an outside toilet with a thuderbox (around 1958).
    I can remember the smell of plucking chooks and the chaos that ensued when the chooks ran about with their heads cut off.
    I remember those dinky little spud guns (early 60's)

    I remember when I felt like I would live for ever and anyone over 30 was old.
    I remember when a house was built they would frame it and leave it stand for a couple of months so the hardwood would set
    I really remember the leather home made fly swotter my nan had that we would cope if we were late home - ouch.
    I remember when Marino sheep were king and farmer would carry a price ram in the back of there car
    I remember when farming was a good life and fields of wheat were a plenty and a drought was only 2 yrs long.

    I remeber quite a few from most of everybody's posts and most I don't.
    I remember when Sunday was roast dinner night
    I remember having to be in before the street lights came on or look out you were in big trouble
    I remember at school if you were sent to the headmasters office you were in deep doo doo especially when you got home
    I remember our next door neighbor knocking on our door to pass on a phone message as we didn't have a phone and if it was in the middle of the night it was considered an emergency.

    I remember the days before KY was invented and a jar of Vicks Vapor Rub could be mistaken in the dark for a jar of vaseline (you don't make that mistake twice!)

    I remember when you could carry a camera without being mistaken for a pervert or a terrorist

    I remember when I could chase a girl, catch a girl and then not have a clue what came next!

    I remember when my first mortgage was cheap at 13+% interest and it only cost me a $1000 deposit.

    Someone said they remembered Telecom. I remember the Postmaster General. (PMG)
    I remember when your appointment was at 10 o'clock you were shown into the office at 10 o'clock.
    I remember the local cop knocking on the front door wanting to talk to my mum and me!
    I remember being sent out of the house after lunch on Sunday and being told not to be home until 6 for dinner.
    I remember everyone sitting around the dinner table and mum saying Grace before each meal.
    I remember having to ask permission to leave the table at the end of each meal.
    I remember having to address my teachers as Mister, Miss, Sir or M'am.

    I remember when life was simpler.

    I remember a time when the devices intended to make our life simpler didn't make it more complicated.

    Hahahaha "Someone said they remembered Telecom. I remember the Postmaster General. (PMG)"

    My old man worked for the PMG in Launceston and as a kid I would go down into the bowels of the building and watch all the relays (there were thousands of them) clicking in and out. It was really noisy and like something out of a science fiction movie. Hmmmmm fond memories there.
