I'll bet it's been 40 years since they allowed them around here. When I was a kid they were as common as mosquitos!
I suppose the garbage companies pushed hard for the prohibition.

Now my Gramma had a small wood burning stove in the kitchen. She used it to take the chill out of the air in the morning and to make . It did burn America's biggest source of fuel, garbage!

OHHHHH, Star! OK, I see. I guess I'm not very up on mechanical things.
They were wood and plastic or am I missing something here? Am I right to assume this has nothing to do with the "coil" I had replaced a few weeks ago?

The 1st cars including the model T are awesome to study their working ability both electical & macanical, The trasmision in a model t is to me the 1st automatic sorta And on mine the only altinator is on the crank in the bellhouseing with one terminal on top Then to Points on the cam and to 4 coils that give steady spark to each spsrkplug at high voltage, Pretty strange as to any other car then or now.

Of course. It was used for cuts and scratches on little kids.

Yes, bub, it was a big improvement over the other two. Do they still make that stuff? I'm ! This article claims the stuff was developed in 1947 and first marketed in 1950! I don't remember the stuff until the early 60s.

Never heard the F word. Now it is mainstream. Mom got Bactine when I was almost an adult. Til then it was iodine or Mercurochrome. Dad always used the idodine..kept it and bandaids in his workshop by the lathe.

I use to work tech support and some didn't know what the pound sign was. Then one time I was working with this old customer (years ago) having a hard time with his passwords and me being old but still a lot younger than him, I realized he was using the letter 'o' key as in Oscar when he should have been using the '0' zero key. Not so today. The younger tech could not figure out his problem when they had to give him a default password. This was over the phone and not at deskside so we couldn't see what he was doing.
Mom call Mercurochrome, Monkey Blood, anyone else? Come to think of it I don't ever really recall getting an infection???? Stuff must have worked well.
I really dislike hearing the "f" word and the older grands (and sad to say my daughter) know better than to say it around us older folks but I know they use it. Funny I grew up in beer joints as a young kid and heard a lot but knew better and often heard guys hold their tongues if us kids were around but get some beers in them and there ya go.
Does anyone remember a Client Eastwood movie and there was this teen girl dropping the "f bomb" and he told her she didn't know what she was doing, by using it ALL the time no one would know if she was really mad or not. Anyway as I recall not a bad movie, he was able to help the kid stay out if trouble.
,..... Guess that's my 2 cents.

My road is an O. I always tell over the phone the letter O so some idiot doesnt use the zero.
One of our bros used the F word every other word almost. After a time, no one paid any attention to him. Mom hated the word. And then one day she was ranting about politics and she said it. She looked at me and said.."WELL! Sometimes it just fits!"

i have always hated the use of the 'f' word. i remember my teenaged aunts and uncles would
use it non stop til grandma walked in.......deafening silence and respect. NOONE has that
kind of common sense respect for others whether elders or youngins! now its nothing to
hear it rolling of the tongue of my 14year old grandson just more degradation
of thought and actions...so sad!

Not in my town, sheaza. As I recall the cheapest candy was Tootsie Rolls for a penny apiece. Baseball cards were a penny. Cokes were a dime, cones a dime, 2 scoops 15 cents and if you bought ten cones you got the next one free. My druggist didn't have anything for under a penny.
That said where you are from it might definitely have been different.

interestingly.............
we, (my daughter and her hubby(the karoke king) and my granddaughter and her college
roommate, literally, spent the entire last evening right after dinner, with glass of wine
in hand on the porch listening to old music mostly from the 70's and 80's all genres....
even as far back as 1967 one of my faves A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procol Harum
Lyrics
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, 'There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was that later
Songwriters: Gary Brooker / Keith Reid / Matthew Fisher
A Whiter Shade of Pale lyrics © T.R.O. Inc.
it was such a special evening

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember and if you remember

On June 24, 1867, Union Pacific reached Julesburg, Colorado, in #theGreatRace to Promontory. #GoldenSpike
By 1867, Julesburg had developed a well-deserved reputation as the "Wickedest City in the West." Saloons and gambling houses dotted the landscape and thrived as the town's population soared to nearly 5,000. It's said that of the 1,200 buildings in the town, at least 900 were devoted to a vice of some kind. When the railroad tracks stretched further west, Julesburg remained an important shipping point.

All those mining and railroad towns seem to have more bars and saloons than Churchs and houses. Just the way it is I guess. Things settle down after you girls move in and start having kids and keep the guys busy with that HONEY DO list!
