Just got back to the house, but I did check out the building as I said i would. The cupola is gone at the top of the roof, but the roof still has the same basic shape and style. The store is a Dollar Tree now.

I have a pine bookcase that I got with S&H Green Stamps and built when I first got married. Still have it! Filled with books! Got a desk, too. Gave that to one of my sisters many years ago. I used to buy blank cassette tapes with them, too, before I started to get better quality tapes.

Anybody remember this game? I never owned it, but I used to go to the park every summer and play it. We'd go to the park everyday an play all sorts of games like pool, basketball, horseshoes and this game. I know what's called now, but I didn't back then.
The nets were for Billiards. You flicked or used the cue sticks to knock pieces into the nets. The reverse side of the board was used for other games.
not sure of the proper spelling, Carms (Karms, Karrams...something like that - never saw it written out). My father used yo play it with the family, I still have the main board and some other pieces (there was some other type of game on the flip side, and there were additional wooden boards that added on top for different games but those got damaged in the basement flooding following the pipes freezing)..
Each player had a shooter, and the goal was to sink all of a specific color and end by sinking the black one. There were some rules that remind me of pool too (regarding sinking the black early or sinking your shooter).

Jodel is right. It was called Carroms. But Satira and Kage got it right too, on how e played it. I used to play it two ways, but on different sides. on one side we'd play it like pool with the cue sticks. On the other side we'd play it like a mix of marbles and pool but with your hands. You'd slide the white piece, using it like a cue ball to knock the red or green pieces into the nets. Whoever knocked all of their pieces into the net first, and then the black piece would win the game.

AOL disks! OMG, yes, they were everywhere. I even got one in the box of my 'in-flight meal' on an airline. It actually tasted better than the meal.
I ended up getting a second phone line just for my phone modem and to use AOL with out disrupting phone calls.
Now to AOL and get redirected to Yahoo. Oh well, life goes on .
I never played Backgammon until I was an adult and discovered it on The Sierra Network (later the ImagiNation Network).

I used to spend a lot of time on AOL, which meant I was online a lot, which was a problem because no one could use the phone or call in to the house while I was online. My sister used to complain a lot that she couldn't reach us. Finally, my cable company started delivering internet connections, and I've been connected ever since.

Remember this? Did you ever play? Our game (board?) usually went up to ten sometimes to twelve. I think it depended on who was drawing. Most of the time we'd use a piece of glass or rock to toss, mostly because it was what was available. Do kids still play this?

You know, I just came to an interesting realization about my childhood. It is divided into two separate and distinct divisions based almost directly on the decades. There's the 1960s, and there's the 1970s. I was born in 1958, so my "childhood" was basically completely in the 60s. When I was twelve, we moved to the house I live in today. That was in the 1970s. Basically, my high school years, and college were all based in the 1970s.
