I remember when Saturday was the most-anticipated day of the week, because cartoons were on all morning...that was the only time they were on all week, there weren't five channels of Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, etc. etc. running them 24/7. Good Lord, what did we kids do with ourselves all day? Oh yeah, we used our imaginations outside, or read books...

I (distantly) recall S & H Greenstamps...

Heck, even pre-Internet life is hazy to me...it seems quaint now, the thought of ordering a book or some other merchandise by mail, filling out the order form, writing a check, mailing it off, giving it three or four days to get there, another few for processing and check clearing, then several weeks for shipping...now we get pissed if we can't track our order on the UPS website within 12 hours of clicking "Buy Now" with our mouse button...
