Do you remember ?

Every night at 10pm the TV reminded parents it's 10pm do you know where your children are. Lol

And at midnight the TV quit working until 7:30- 8am the next morning...

Or, remember K-Mart? Or Montgomery Ward? Or Sears? When JC Penney actually sold tools, hardware, paint and furniture?

this reminds me of walking the roadsides collecting bottles to return for a nickle each and blowing my hard earned nickles on candy, gum and hmmm dr peppers

Young whippersnapper. 2¢ in our world. Damned inflation.

This is currently in our garage. Came with the house, still works. Need to do an oil change on it. And all the blinds in our house are from sears and roebuck.

when i was in the garage business, i had bought a Sanborn 14 gallon 2 cylinder compressor, for working at home.

i found that in all these years, it only "works" as a tire inflator, pool toy inflator, or blow gun tool, to clean out all the window fans each fall.

i change to oil with straight 30w (per directions) and maybe at least once every 3 years.?

I drive a truck with two keys, wing windows, and cranks for the side ones. . I grew up in a ranch house that didn't have indoor plumbing until I was a freshman in high school. The outhouse was stocked with Montgomery Ward catalogs. My early sex experiences involved the lingerie sections. Our first telephone was a party line with eight others. When you picked up the phone, the operator asked who you wanted to talk to.

I clearly remember my Dad walking into one of our local hospitals with a lit cigarette in his mouth. If memory serves I recall you could smoke anywhere in a hospital as long as you were not in a room where oxygen was actively running.

Used to be able to smoke on an airplane and in the movie theater as far back as the 80's to early 90's.
