- Do you remember the cheese that came in very small jars. Kraft put them out in special flavors. There was pimento, green olive, swiss, bacon-swiss, and several others including pineapple. They were used to spread on Ritz crackers for parties.
- The one thing that bugs me about my surgery is the star-halo effect at night. With the cataract, it was very distracting to the point that I didn't want to drive at night. But, I still have a small amount of the effect, especially when meeting...
- While I was driving to the grocery store early this morning, I thought about something I miss on a car. The morning was cool, but sultry, so I rolled down the window to let in some air. But the air really didn't blow on me. It went to the back...
- I was just diagnosed with arthritis in my knee. My doctor has prescribed Melozicam for the pain. Anybody had experience with this med? Are there otc supplements that can help?
- Downtown Waco was always an adventure in the late 40s and early 50s. The stores had "character",,personality. I remember S.H Kress and Woolworth's were right next to each other. They had wooden floors and each had it's own smell and look. ...
- Emma was her name. I can't remember her last name, though I should. She was a black lady, black people were called colored back then, who took care of Vickie and me in the late 1940s. My dad opened his first grocery store about two months before...
- A man went into an upscale family restaurant to place a takeout order. He walked up to the counter and told the cashier he'd like to place an order to go. The cashier, busy with patrons dining in, asked him if he had called in the order and when...
- Do you remember when the mailman, yes a man,,,not a mail or letter carrier, carried the mail in a big leather bag?: And he carried small packages too and walked the route. You never saw his car and you wondered how he could carry all the mail for...
- Have you ever had an ice cream soda?: And, if so, did you have it at a drug store soda fountain? Did they have special drinks? One of the "in drinks" while I was growing up was a cherry phosphate,,,,,a very "adult" drink.
- Do you remember steering wheel knobs? They were plastic knobs that fit your hand that allowed you to steer your car with one hand. They were clamped to the steering wheel with screws. There were two reasons to have one. First, it made it easier...
- Do you remember spirit ribbons? Are they still around? Starting in junior high school(7-9 grades), the cheerleaders sold them the week before football games. They were made of stiff ribbon, usually about an inch wide and maybe eight inches long...
- Do you remember innertubes that kept the air in the car tires? I remember they would be heat patched to cover holes from nails puncturing the tires. After a few too many patches, they were used as floats when we went swimming. There was a big...
- When you were a kid, did you have a "car potty" for long trips. I had forgotten about ours till my mom died a few years ago and found in the garage. It was a thick blue plastic bowl, flanged outward at the top. It had a handle similar to a coffee...
- Do you remember cans that needed "keys"? They were attached to the top of the cans. I remember coffee and shortening cans needed them and meat products such as spam, potted meat, corned beef, and sardines needed them.
- I was thinking the other day about how cars have changed. Not just the styles, or the materials used, or the different colors, but inside the car. See of you remember these. The starter button on the dashboard. Instead of turning the key to...
