- Here's a couple of oldies brought back for the haunting season.
- I know this is early but a national chain is way to early. K-Mart is advertising layaway now for Christmas! Are kids these days ready to decide what they want for Christmas and not change their minds? When did you make your final decision for...
- Silver dollars were still around in the 1950s although few people wanted to deal with them. Merchants didn't like them because there was no slot in the cash register to put them. My dad got a few of them every once and while at his grocery store. ...
- When you go into a convenience store, if the clerk while making change runs out coins, they walk over to the drop box, push a few buttons and get a roll of whatever coins they need. Back in the 50s there weren't tools like this for stores of any...
- Do you remember parking lights on your car? They were the small lights under the headlights and were yellow in color. When you pulled your headlights on it would stop at the parking lights, then turn on the headlights. They were used at dawn and...
- As most of you know, my dad owned a small neighborhood grocery store and was the butcher. Of all the things he sold, he had a big market for bacon rind, the smoked skin on bacon that is usually cut off. Doubt if you can find bacon with rind in...
- Dear Friends,I guess you have noticed I'm not around as much as I used to be. No new topics. Well, I haven't been on the computer near as much as in the past. I'm battling my right leg again and barely holding my own. The pain limits my time in a...

- The women's lib movement took a while to come to my hometown. It was over a year before we heard anything about any local activity. I was in radio news by that time and looking for topics for a 2 minute vignette we had every day. I was attending...
- Well, I'm finally getting meds for my copd. It took a 2 day stay in the hospital to get them. I started going to the county clinic when I lost my job and they prescribe on the cheap so no meds were prescribed for the copd. The docs in the...
- Let's see if yall remember this. Back in the 50s and 60s there was canned barbecue. I think it came two ways,,sliced and chopped. It was packed in a very light, thin, almost watery sauce. The brand name was Ireland's.
- Since I have far too much time on my hands, I watch a lot of t.v. which means watching a lot of commercials. It seems there are more car commercials than any other and I've noticed something. Many cars have gone back to the dashboard starter...
- Moco,,,,not a very special name for such a beautiful collie dog.(There's a photo of her in the photo section.) My older sister gave her that name. It was the nickname of a former boyfriend. Not very appropriate, but she was the oldest kid and I...
- Ever so often we had something special for Sunday breakfast,,,,candles. It was never anybody's birthday and they weren't made of wax. Sunday mornings were the only times the whole family had breakfast together. It was two "shifts" the rest of the...
- When did Easter become a time for gifts and parties? Did I miss something? Been watching t.v.(way too much as usual) and have seen commercials for gifts and party decorations. The only gift I got when I was growing up was baby chick or duck and...
