Our First VCR

Beth, United States
I can remember my family getting our first VCR.
I was so excited at the idea that I could watch any movie any time that I wanted.
Our neighbors had gotten one a few year earlier when VCRs first came out and costed a fortune. My sister and I were invited over the day they set it up.
Everyone just sat around amazed at this great new technology.

Those Were The Days

When I was about 8 or 9, I can remember Sunday evenings. My Mom would be cooking up supper(usually pork steaks) the smell was incredible and something I will never forget.
After supper me and my older sister would argue about what to watch on t.v. , Walt Disney or The Six Million Dollar Man.
Me and my older brother would build tree forts and ride our Shwinn bikes like Evel Kienevel. We did not have A/C so when it got hot in the summer, Mom would wet our sheets down in the tub and we would sleep on them.
We had an Uncle that lived in Kansas and we would all climb into the stationwagon that felt like it was 100 feet long and was in 2 different time zones to visit him. Heaven forbid if Dad had to stop, so if me and my brother had to pee we would go in a pepsi bottle so Dad could make "Good Time"
So many things have changed since I was a kid, I wish I could let me daughter experience what it felt like to have a bottle of pop that came in a glass bottle and was only 8 oz. not a route 44 oz at sonic. Soda pop was a treat.
I can still feel the bubbles tickle my nose as I tip it up for a sip.
Those were the days......

i was born 1956 in San Francisco ca. i want to talk about television, the first one i remember was a big box with doors on it, to big knobs that filled my little hands and tuned with a clunk. 2,4,5,7,that was it.
Dad passed away in 1967 it was just mom and me times were hard for us but in July of 69 my mom spent 75 dollars on a used 25 in b&w to watch the lunar landing, it meant that much to her,
A year later we got cable with 25 channels! to day i have a dish 500 channels and my mom who's 85. when i tell my kids this story they look at me as if i were nuts, but in the same turn i can't imagine sitting around the radio
