I used to hang my clothes outdoors to dry but now there are so many bugs and mosquitoes flying around and they seem to light on my wet clothes so I don't do it any more. Yuck!

I was fortunate to not have known the joys of an outhouse, thank goodness.

And I remember Dad testing tubes in those then modern day early electronics, and he didn't take them to 7-11 to do it, since convenience stores weren't even in existence.

Does anyone still use an iron? I remember that Mom ironed everything including sheets, pillowcases, handkerchiefs, etc., and it took her hours every week. I won't even buy anything anymore if it requires ironing, altho I do own an iron - just in case. It's around here somewhere.

Hang out clothes? - not me. I don't even have a clothesline any more. A lot of these new housing subdivisions don't even allow them.

I remember that the folks had an icebox before a refrigerator. The iceman came a couple of times a week to deliver blocks of ice for it. In the summer it was a big treat for all the kids to run up to his truck since he would give us big chunks of ice to suck on. It sure didn't take much to make kids happy way back then, and we were never bored since there was always something to do outside!

We have an iron and use it all the time. Bruce uses it to iron his shirts for work and I use it each week to iron my pants.


How about 8-track tapes? We had the 8-track tape player in our old motorhome. I remember listening to The Oakridge Boys on it. That was the only place we could listen to it because it was the only player. LOL
