We have my folks’ electric knife. Still works.

We had a Harvest Gold side by side fridge and cooktop, and, double oven.

I love buying old patterns at garage and estate sales.

I always wanted a fondue set. Bought one last fall at our local thrift store, great condition, 5 bucks.

I still do. Hamilton Beach, of course.

When we backed out if the garage to go to the store today I saw the fondue box up on a shelf. I used to have fondue parties. I’d set up two pots. One for steak and one for mini corn dogs.

Mom would set up two, as well.

One for steak and chicken, and, one for chocolate (to dip fresh fruit in).

Fun times.

Loved the different colored handle tips.

I remember going to the store and you’d see those all lined up in a rack. My mom had a room for her typewriter and her sewing machine.

The good old days.

My husband and I were lifted one back in the early 80s as a wedding gift by a friend in church. That thing is still slicing roasts today. All appliances should be so durable, lol!

My aunt, also. She was divorced from my dad’s older brother and took in my divorced mom and me. We all lived together), with her son, for years. She was the seamstress in the house. We never had much money, but she was my second mother. I still miss her.

True and applies to other things among which are humans. Some
do a better job of helping keep their bodies healthy while at best
others don’t give a hoot. We have a lot of choices in our lifetime
and we all will make some that aren’t the best by far. JMO and
take care and have a nice day.

The items listed in the thread take me back to the gift tables at my wedding shower and wedding. So many bun warmers.
