Shucks! I wonder what I did wrong with trying to get my picture of candy in the post!

It is tricky and took me a while to figure it out but if you copy the url of the image you want and then paste it into the insert image popup window at the top of the posting window it does work.

You can also right click on the full size image and save it to your desktop. Then attach it to your message like you would with one of your own photos by selecting the attachment feature in the advanced message format.

OH Rose, those wax bottles full of sweet liquid.

That is a sweet childhood memory.

We had a school bus that would stop at a candy store on the way home on fridays.

Rosella , ever been to Morin Heights ?

Glen, I grew up in Miami, and my grandparents lived near a little mom & pop store. My granddaddy would walk there every morning and get his newspaper. He never wanted it delivered, it was his routine. Sometimes he would bring back donuts (he called them "sinkers") ~ chocolate iced cake donuts, to be precise. My brother and I would walk there just for the wax bottles, and fire balls, Sweet tarts too, but the main attraction was the wax syrupy stuff. I can still remember exactly where the candy rack was in the store.

Oh yes .

Remember the jaw-breakers, cherry balls, mint leaves, licorice babies, and the paper strips with all of those sugar drops on them.

Yes , 50 cents and you had enough candy to make you sick.

Double Bubble was a penny a piece back then.

Speaking of which , has anyone tried to chew gum lately ?

Did you drown ? I am sure I looked like CUJO the last time I chewed gum.

rose · 10-30-2009, 10:14 PM

I got out of the habit of chewing gum years ago (doesn't really mix with the flight attendant image) but I tried some recently and it kept trying to fall out of the corners of my mouth, like it was getting away from me or something. I'll bet I can't blow bubbles anymore either

..... Probably my legs are really distracting you tonight, aren't they? Yes, I sure can fill out a uniform. LOL. Just in case you can't really make out my special costume avatar, here's a better look: (PS, I actually located "Nurse Rose", but I'm having too much fun with this cutie)

I thought so Rose , but was waiting for others to comment. Wasnt that one of the Village People ?

When I was a kid, there was a drug store (pharmacy) in the neighborhood that had a penny candy counter (all glass) and a coke machine with 10oz bottles of coke for a dime.

One of my favorite pieces of candy to buy was the red licorice whip. You could also buy small bottles of pure concentrate cinnamon oil with which to make cinnamon toothpicks.

This was also the store my mom use to come home from with a box wrapped in brown paper. The specially wrapped box always wound up in the hall closet next to the bathroom. When opened, it contained pads of some sort. I could never get the logic of having the box wrapped if all you were going to do was unwrap it when you got home but then, I was just a kid.

P.S. I don't think they wrap the boxes anymore!
