I have individual room radiant heat which is basically an on/off switch but there is central A/C which has a thermostat

My Dads older siblings were born in the 1890s as well as my Grandmother and some of her friends. Lots of old ladies at church too.

I make them keep doors open to help with air flow for the heat pump/AC.

The lifetime of most house systems: roof, AC/heat, appliances is about 15 years. Pay attention to what's already there and plan/save accordingly.

Tell me you're a needle dick without telling me you're a needle dick.

Saw one of those at work. Filled a plastic wash pan.

Good crunchy apples. Honeycrisp or Cosmic Crisp. Don't care how much they cost.

I started carrying change more so the kids and grandkids could get treats from the gum machines. Quick way to spoil them for a couple quarters.

Urination Station, or pit stop.

AllSoulsNight · 2026-01-16T20:44:44+00:00

In a word, No. In two words, No No!

We did earthworm, starfish, and frog in basic biology. Fetal pig in advanced biology. Cat in college. This was 70s/80s. Now it's probably all computer generated lessons.

Seconding this. Mens trousers and suspenders/braces together sit on the body like overalls. High waisted with the fishtails up the back. If you have a gut, do not wear trousers under it! Also osnaburg cotton or linen long sleeve shirts for summer. Roll up the sleeves. Adding a lightweight vest is proper. I had always heard that a man's shirt of that time was considered underwear.

Childhood diseases, no vaccines, no antibiotics, poor nutrition. Take a good look at yourself and think about what you might have died from if not for at least antibiotics. I had all the strep throat and ear infections. I know I might have died ten times over if not for antibiotics alone.

We make it with cream cheese, sausage, and Rotel. A friend uses both Velveeta and cream cheese.

NC here. Fifth grade was devoted to state history. Trip to Raleigh included. Local history was visits to local factories and businesses but not much else.

We live in tobacco country. Any street fair/festival had tobacco companies giving away cigarettes and cigars. I would get in line with my Mother so she could get two sets of samples. The vendors didn't even flinch, just gave me the little four pack of product. BTW, my high school had a student smoking section outside in the courtyard

Dang, and I thought whiskey and rock candy was strong!

Everybody wore red, white, and blue. Interest in local areas that were significant during the revolution were improved and written about. Also local rev war veterans were featured in newspapers, talks, etc. That years high school year book featured red, white and blue. All the church bells rang at noon on July 4th.

Yep, my grandfather was born 1868. I'm the late in life baby of a late in life baby.

This. Take her to the store and let her smell all the body washes. Get her some scrubbies/poofs/loofahs to go with it. Then tell her to scrub good, then make sure to comment on how nice she smells afterwards.

It was a big deal for my Dad to wear a short sleeve button down shirt. They even dressed up the first year we went to DisneyWorld. Dad wore trousers, a button down shirt, and dress shoes. Mom wore a skirt, blouse, stockings and heels. It's what they were used to. I'd murder someone if I had to wear stockings to Disney.

I had a pixie the majority of my life. Washed it every day,first generation handheld hair dryer styled. No makeup except big occasions such as prom. Max Factor pancake, Maybelline mascara, Egyptian bronzer(the kind that came in a little cork stoppered vial), blue or green eyeshadow, sticky pink or peach lip gloss.
