Suzy, we also had an outdoor toilet. I don't remember when we got a phone, but it was on a party line where neighbours were on the same line and you had to wait until they were off if you wanted to use it. Our tub was a round aluminum one that got put into the kitchen every Saturday night so we More...

Yikes Rolanda! I hope they can help you get that under control! Hubby has had a computer since they were called 286 and ran on DOS. Before 1988 at least, though I don't know exactly when. I've had one since I married him in 1990 hehe. Hubby joined an internet provider when the only one More...

Good luck with your fasting tests, Rolanda. I hate those. It's not the breakfast I miss, but the coffee to help wake me up.

My daughter went for her MRI this morning - her appointment was at 4:00 AM. The hospital she went to is doing them 24 hours a day to try and get rid of the backlog. I'm not sure how long it will take for her to get the results.

hehe Theresa! We used the same bath water too. I will have to ask Mum how the water was heated as I have no memory of that at all. That seems to suggest that she wasn't boiling water though. You make me laugh remembering my FIL! A couple of years before he died we had to arrange for him to have More...

Suzy, you and I are about the same age and I always remember having a phone and tv. I am not sure about a/c. I have a memory from when I lived in new york. I remember picking up the phone, dialing numbers and trying to get my grandmother. I moved to florida at 4 so I must have been around 3. I did More...

long tiring day today. my therapist introduced a dastardly exercise today. it looked sooo easy when she did it. just shape the soft putty into first a ball, then roll it into a snake about 8 inches long. OK, got that part, what next? pinch it down the length, and repeat until you have pinched 30 More...

Good VERY early morning here! It has been a long day, but I wanted to spend a few minutes here with friends!

Suzy, thanks for sharing information about the Lions awards! It sounds like there were some well-deserved awards handed out!

Victoria, it's no wonder we haven't seen you much More...

Here's the rest of that post:

MizT, just keep plugging along with your therapy! It WILL get better. (My last doctor appointment also said probably at least 1 year to being nearly pain-free. I think I've become resigned to accepting that assessment, as I'm already at 8 months.)

Good Night to everyone! I really must hit the hay!

Hello my friends, loved the conversations today and wish I had commented at the time.
Love and hugs,
Miss you all heaps.

Broni, I'm pleased just to see you post, I'm sure you will soon have time to spend a little more time here soon.
My memories... we were lucky we had an inside and an outside toilet when I was young. No central heating until I was 14, we used to get ice on the inside of the windows in winter too. More...

I am loving these discussions about the 'olden days'!! More! More!

I love your Compuserve story Brenda. Very ahead of your time!! I remember it being expensive too, though that probably would have been in the very early 90's.

Julie, I can imagine your wide open mouths at the girlfriend's 'extravagance', but I cannot imagine waking up to ice on the inside of the windows!

Good morning all.

I remember going skating (there was nothing much to do in the small town I grew up in, population 800 maybe if everyone was home), then coming home and mom opening the oven door on the old wood stove so I could thaw my feet out. Then in later years (the 60's) thawing my More...

I was tempted to start another discussion about family scandals and ethical dilemmas (looking for advice maybe?) but decided not to. I'm really enjoying hearing the good old days stories...

Not that great Julie, I burnt the top of the vegie pie tonight!

Brenda, I told hubby about your old computers and Compuserve - he loved it too!!

Old memory - bush fires! Where we lived was mostly holiday homes so the winter population was about 20 - well that's what it felt like to we younguns!!! It seemed like about once a year a fire started at the More...

Oh and a great one! Gum leaf whistles!! I'm going to have to find the right type of gum leaf and teach my girls that one!

Cutting out the models from the old Sears and Eatons catalogues, and cutting out the clothing for them to make our own paper dolls.

Suzy, we can have a stroll down memory lane AND start a family dilemma and ethics discussion. We can multi-task!!! Feel free to share, young lady. We are here for you.

Tadpoles! I remember searching for tadpoles and taking them home in a jar. That area is all houses now.

I love the paper dolls!

Our blue cattle dog who used to bite the little girl down the street when she chased us. She had to go to a breeder the second time the little girl got More...

We did the tadpole thing too, Suzy.

I remember being at the end of a string of us 4 kids (grammar) while my brother at the other end touched an electric fence ... I was the only one to feel anything. I fell for it twice!!!

2 lollies for one cent!

My cubbie house under the water tank.

Watching the moon landing on our black and white TV.

The school bus stopping at the corner shop on the way home from school, the store owners giving us a packet of SAOs so we could feed the rosellas.

Playing ball games in the middle of the road with no worries about being knocked down as not very many people owned cars in our street.
Going to school on roller skates, along with lots of friends and being at the end of a long 'snake' in the play ground... we got up to some pretty high speeds, you had to be good not to fall or you would end up in a bit of a mess with scrapes and bruises.

I'll do my memories in the morning..

I cannot complain about not growing up with all the amenities. But back then all windows were single pane glass, and every morning there was a thick layer of ice on the inside of every window. I would use my fingernail or pocketknife to carve designs in the ice. By the next morning, there was another layer of ice obliterating them.

lightning bugs, catch them and keep in a jar. Mom would let them out once we went to sleep, cause lightning bugs will not survive in a jar.

June bugs tied to a sewing thread, watching them fly in circles.

I am enjoying all the stories about the "old" days but am beginning to feel like I have no right to complain about mine. My only problem was living in a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment and sharing a bedroom with my older brother. He is 4.5 years older than me. I did not get my own room More...

Just popping in - and loving all the reminiscing! We also caught "lightning bugs/fireflies" and put them in a jar until we came in at night. I remember when my cousins came from California and didn't know what we were talking about.

We would often visit another family with a More...
