In re: the birth control, I'm just sayin' why do we assume all single women are messing around?
I used cloth diapers on each of my six children when they were babies. They were born between 1984 and 1991. Not only did I save $500 per year per child on the cost of disposables, but they were all toilet trained earlier than their peers in paper diapers.
Just on this thread? LOL
I guess you haven't read the 'I hate public schools' and 'I hate American women' threads. They're very funny actually.
We didn't get one until about 1956! We had an 8 party line (which provided a lot of entertainment....)!
More power to you, and I am not being sarcastic.
Speaking of hosts, I remember seeing Pinky Lee collapse on air while doing his frenetic dance routine. I suppose today they'd have "crisis counselors" or something for the kids ;-)
Betty Furness not being able to get the Fridigaire door open during a live commercial sticks in my mind, too. I can still hear my parents' howls of laughter.
Wasn't that a hot dog stand? Think the first McDonalds was in San Berdo on E St in about 1953 or 1954.

In my last duty assignment, I worked around an E7 and E8 - CPO and SCPO. The CPO was a Civil War Reenactor. He was talking about one weekend when he was participating in a faux battle and he was called by the duty crew. He said he had to go to his car and make some phone calls after that. The SCPO kidded him by saying he was cheating by calling down an air strike on the Southern forces.8-)
By the way, has anyone on this thread ever read The Fifties by David Halberstom? A very interestnig book. Holiday Inn came into being in the fifties. And a lot of other stuff we use today.
That will leave a mark! 8-)
wow, 145 years and he's sitting there in a Civil War uniform doing 21st century stuff. I wonder what they'll be reinacting 200 years from now.
If this is what passes for education, it's no wonder we're so freakin' stupid in this nation these days.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Oh no! I got stuck in a "Do loop" and the print out was 500 sheets before they shut is down.
Our church still has a rotary phone hanging in the hallway. It is very fun to watch kids (and some adults) trying to use it for the first time!
YOu're no fun...
I know lots of liberals that live in the 60's, always wishing to recreate the halcyon days on when they almost broke America over their knee.
That was similar to when a rotating stage got stuck between scenes on the Jackie Gleason show. The show was live, and Jackie had to come out in front of the curtain and riff, puffing cigarettes and sweating, for a long, long time.
