OT: How many of these do you miss?

[Lady Luck]

I got a chuckle out of #4...that's what I learned to type on. Pain in the ass with the manual return lever. LOL Oh how spoiled I am now.

Me too! While cleaning out a closet in my Mom's house, my sister uncovered a typewriter. My 8 year old niece looked at it and said "What is that?!" She had never seen one and had no idea what it was. Too funny!!

I couldn't type on a manual now if you paid me. I have an electric typewriter at work and once in a blue moon I have to use it. I have a hard time even with that. LOL!

[Melissa]

We had an old typewriter here at work too they were using for our old chart labeling system (now all done on the computer, lol). Lots of cussing involved whenever that thing would get used, lol.

I can't imagine having to use correction tape or fluid again.

Ah, big flashbacks to high school typing classes... I still use white out on stuff at school, but they've changed the formula - it doesn't smell the same.

[chickpea]

I always sniffed my tests and quizzes in school. I remember our junior high school newspaper was printed on a mimeograph machine and then stapled together. When I was a senior in high school, I was office aide and actually got to turn the crank to print out stuff for the secretary. I thought I was cool.

LOL! Yup.. backspace, backspace.. We have a typewriter at work for some of our labels and I'm embarrased how many mistakes I make using it. I dont even realize it when I'm typing on a pc.

You don't know how happy you guys have made me that you remember the blue sniffy papers too, lol! Not too many of my co-workers do, we're in the minority lol

Ours were always purple. Must be a midwestern thing. Still smelled good, though!

I think it was a purplish blue if you want to get technical.

You must have passed out before they dried then, too much sniffing LOL! They looked kind of blue when dry...I think...lol.

Maybe that's what's wrong with us! Too much sniffing in the 70's and 80's!

You guys were already high from all the weird diet soda you were drinking, I think.

Or sniffing white out too

Hey anyone remember that paste crap that came in the jar with a stick? (Sorry, we're bored enough at work to actually talk about shit like this, lol)

Oh yeah! I do remember that. Not sure why some kids ate it, though. It was disgusting.

How about the paint that came in the big squeeze bottles?

[Lady Luck]

How about the paint that came in the big squeeze bottles?

Or the markers that smelled according to the color...purple (grape), red (cherry), yellow (lemon)

LOL! Sadly I remember that. Spent half the time sniffing the purple ones.

Hmmm. I don't think we had those. I just remember the big black permanent markers that could just about knock you out if you smelled them.

[Melissa]

Oh yeah, made huge messes with stuff! lol

Yeah I never ate the paste, not sure why other kids did, yucky!

Ok, leaving work for my sister-in-law's birthday, she's just slightly older than me, I'll see if she remembers the blue/purple sniffy papers too lol

Oh yeah, took a year & a half to get that crap off if it got on you too!

[ohsherrie]

I remember the glue in the jar with the stick, but not any odor/color appropriate markers.

I'm midwestern too Belar and the sheets I remember were blue. The originals that the teachers wrote out looked purple though.

I used to be a helper in the office in elementary and turned the crank on the machine a few times myself.

Sigh. Maybe my school district had a special purple machine.

Anyone here ever have to clap erasers together and get a faceful of chalk?

No, because I never got in trouble in school, but I remember it happening to other kids.
