More things we miss:

Drive-in movie theaters

Playing hide-and-seek

The Dewey Decimal System

Putting baseball cards in the spokes of your bike

Getting green stamps at the supermarket, and then sticking them in your book

Saturday Night Live when we had heard of the musical guests

And more things we don’t miss

Unscratchable CDs that were indeed scratchable

Having to really cut and paste when writing something

Lime Jell-O fruit salad

Smoking on airplanes

Crazy Eddie’s screaming TV commercials

Cottage cheese

More Things We Do or Don’t Miss

Even More Things We Do or Don’t Miss

Still More Things We Do or Don’t Miss

And Even More Things We Do Or Don’t Miss
