The radio was set on the kitchen table and a thin wire was strung from the radio to be fasten on the wires of the screen door so they could get reception. Then everyone sat around the kitchen table and rooted for the Cardinals.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-49382089823786847952015-06-13T06:32:46.468-05:002015-06-13T06:32:46.468-05:00Oh boy, you are right, it is SO different now!

He used to HATE to get up and go to the bathroom during a game, he hated to miss a minute!<br />And I always made sure to note then "A Charlie Brown Christmas" came on...if you missed it, you couldn't see it till the next year.<br />I was babysitting and came home and my mother and sister told me that I had just missed the last episode of "The Fugitive". Sorry, they said, you would have really liked it, it was good. I never have seen it!!!Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-13450613096420360602015-06-10T12:59:51.697-05:002015-06-10T12:59:51.697-05:00You do not watch much TV anyway.

It is a background noise because my house is so quiet.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-9267050328854027682015-06-10T07:10:21.286-05:002015-06-10T07:10:21.286-05:00I can't recall how many stations we had growin...I can't recall how many stations we had growing up, but do remember the call letters of ABC (7), CBS (2), NBC (4), and WOR (9), forget the letters for channel 5. It is indeed amazing that you can tape shows for later viewing, but we never invested in a DVR and don't subscribe to any TV services. We can, however, get a few channels through a window-mounted antenna as we now live in an apt so no roof antenna is possible.Beatrice P.

Many things which children imagined have become realities now. For instance going to the moon. Children always wanted to catch the moon and now men have landed on the moon.<br /><br />Surely, many welcome changes have taken place in our lives since we were born. More ease, more comfort, more leisure time, more enjoyment and more laziness.<br /><br />Excellent post. I enjoyed reading it.<br /><br />Best wishesJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.com
