Do you recognize these?

DID YOU EVER RIDE ONE OF THESE???         WHAT'S THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE TWO OBJECTS?                  DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S HANGING FROM THE CHAIN OR RUNNING UP THE POLE?       DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?        HAVE YOU EVER SHOPPED AT THIS STORE?     DO YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY WITH THESE?    DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THIS ?              DO YOU RECOGNIZE WHO THIS IS?     DO YOU KNOW THEIR NAMES?                      HAVE YOU EVER HAD A GLASS OF THIS? DID YOU, OR ANYONE YOU KNOW, EVER TAKE THIS CLASS IN SCHOOL?                    HAVE YOU EVER SEEN OR USED ONE OF THESE?           DO YOU KNOW WHAT THESE ARE?        HAVE YOU EVER USED THIS?     HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED THIS?         WAS THERE EVER A TIME IN YOUR LIFE THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY OPTION TO DRY YOUR CLOTHES?         WHAT'S THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE TWO OBJECTS? WHAT'S THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE  TWO OBJECTS?        IS THIS A FAMILIAR SCENE?        DOES THIS BRING BACK GOOD MEMORIES?       DID HE EVER COME TO YOUR HOUSE?        DID YOU EVER HAVE TO SAY "HELLO" BEFORE YOU KNEW WHO WAS CALLING?     DID YOU EVER LAUGH OUT LOUD WATCHING THIS?    Aaahh the good old days...  If you answered YES to most of the above, YOU ARE OLD        Those who were born in the 30's to the 60's are the  last generations who played in the street.  During our  childhood we "walked" over a mile a day when we played, we played "hide and seek" outside at night with no worries  or fear of anything bad happening to us.   We are the first generation who played video games and the last to record songs off the radio onto a cassette tape.   We learned how to program a VCR before anyone else, we were the first to play from Atari to Nintendo. We are the generation of Tom and Jerry, Looney Toons, and Captain Kangaroo.   We traveled in cars without seat belts or air  bags, lived without cell phones and caller ID.  We did not have fax machines, flat screens, surround sound,  iPods, Facebook, Twitter, computers or the Internet, Internet,  Facebook, Twitter, computers or the Internet,  and through  it all we had a great time.         Now send this on to those who remember all these things  and those who are too young to know what maybe the  better times were really like.
