Well, when you run out of old t-shirts, you know what to do with your old undies!!! Actually, it does work. The waist band stretches and doesn’t cut into the plant. We used nicknames for the plants as well. “Fruit of the Loom has four new green tomatoes today” or “Hanes has two red ones that need picking”. LOL!

When I was a kid, the school would have “paper drives”. EVerybody would bring in bundles of paper, and the school would benefit from the proceeds.

Grandpa had an old iron on his workbench to straighten nails. Grandma let him have her iron because she had a new electric stove and not a wood burning one.

LOL...I do the same. I still have the gift bag with Power Rangers on it I got for my son’s birthday years ago. He’s now 23!

Since the enviro-weenies took over, the new ways pollute, pollute, pollute. Enviro-weenies enviro-weenied the environment and called it a cure for pollution. Support pollution, send an enviro-weenie group a check?

I saw that DJ posted about having a button box (cookie tin). I have a box that has hundreds of buttons which I cut off old, worn out clothes that are headed for the garage to use as grease rags.

Recyclers around here are losing money. Few trash companies bother.

40 years ago, who would have ever believed that a whole nation could be convinced to actually BUY water in bottles?

For instance, a modern LCD HD television with a screen the size of Montana uses only a small fraction of the electricity necessary to power one of those early CRT units with its screeen the size of a handkerchief. Aren't they lucky? They can have one in every room so they don't have to talk to one another!

What is funny is most people never see what is on the outside of the gift bag. I think they just see a “bag”. I sent a birthday gift to her husband in a Barbie Princess bag and he never noticed. We both waited to see what he would say and he never said a thing. (maybe women notice more?!)
To: Sacajaweau
You still cut the buttons off of old pajamas before using them as dust cloths?
Memories eh? :-)

You’re probably right. I seldom buy ice cream anymore because it’s mush when we get back from town.

I did take an old sock, cut out the toe and part of the heel and made a "band aid" for my poison ivy.
What are pajames?? ;_)

"Di-Dee" Diaper service" it's Nu Di Diaper service with the blue and pink trucks with the white letters.
The milk man would put the milk on the front porch in a metal box that would hold 4 quart glass bottles.
Back in the day, you could almost fix your own TV by going down to the local TV/radio shop and test the tubes, I remember it well watching my dad test the tubes at the store.
I remember collecting the tin soda cans and news papers very well.

Actually, I reuse the plastic bottles for my personal water bottles. I keep three or four with a big R on the lid for refilled. I don’t like the taste of some bottled water.
