Thanks for this. I enjoyed thinking back....

And somehow wasn't crippled, though he had a bad scar on his forearm forever.

He's always been that way-- taking idiotic risks. God must smile on fools, however... he's still around!

Vent windows on cars. And a hand crank for the other windows.

Speaking of smoking...I remember smoking on commercial flights - ashtrays built in to the armrests between seats.

this would be a good fit for the Loungers.

I’ve been here awhile, longer than my profile says because I joined a few different times. I only really got real active since I retired this year. Now I tend to spend a lot of time here but still haven’t figured things out. I just checked and I’m up to 700 and some posts. I had to kind of laugh. In one of my earliest posts I got into it a little with someone. I checked and he had 10,000+ posts and I jumped on him about being a know it all. Now I realize they pile up pretty fast if you check in most days like I’ve been doing lately.

the lounge will come up.
Just like any other discussion group just click on the 'start a discussion' button like you did in GD to post it to begin with.
You may want to open a second window to do this so you can do a simple copy and paste.

I always end my day in the Lounge to relax. I'll look for it tomorrow.

I was hoping there would be a trick to do it with a couple commands. My computer got hacked a couple months ago so until I can replace it I’m doing everything with my phone. Things like copy/paste are pretty challenging. But I’ve never really checked out the lounge and next time I come up with some post like that sounds like a good place. Thanks for the pointers.

And if we got hurt as a result of 'skitching' on somebody's back bumper in the winter, our folks gave us a whooping - instead of suing the owner of the car.

So much has changed... thanks for the memories!

The cathode ray tube image started as a little white dot that grew into the full picture within a few seconds.

The image would do the reverse when you turned the set off.

I'll never forget when we got a solid-state Tv in 1976, I was overjoyed by the instant-on feature of the image.

our folks put in our bedroom when we hit high school!! MY Brother and I were big time,, we had our own number! And yes B&W TV and we were still Dad's remote control. Fun post Queeg,thanks for the memories

Then in 1980 my next door neighbor was a single Mom who used a wringer washer because it was cheap. When wringing out clothes the water dripped back into the tub of the washer where it could be re-used if desired. Otherwise the water in the tub could be drained if you wanted that, too. Those were the days!

for the burner barrels. We did not have those in my neighborhood.
