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!
