Well, I have done all these and don't consider myself "so old".
I can relate to most of that.....
But here's one for all of ya....
I do remember "calling" friends. That is, if we wanted to play with Tom & Frank, for example, we would go to their house, stand on the porch and call, "TA-AHM!, TA-AHM!, TA-AHM!" or "FRAY-ANK!, FRAY-ANK!, FRAY-ANK!"
I remember doing this into the early 1970's but by the late '70's, I don't recall seeing ANY kids doing this. Suddenly, using the telephone (..on a 2nd line just for the kids ) became the "cool" thing to do.
Do any of you remember standing on porches, "calling" your friends?
Yes! I remember calling friends from in front of their house!
I also remember scraping the cork from bottle caps. There were prizes under there!

Me too.
Pull the cork out and press the cap onto your T shirt and push the cork back in with the T shirt between and you had a soda cap button. What fun as a kid and if lucky enough to have the bottle, worth 2 cents; bought a lot of 3 in 1 AMT & JoHan plastic model car kits with soda bottle money as well as cleaning up the road side.
