I'm so old I Remember when:

Animals are definitely better than people.

What's that saying?
"Be there person your dog thinks you are."
Something like that.

I accidentally hit the right combination of brake+button and it started. I turned it on & off several times to be sure that's really what worked.

On mine, you need to step on the clutch while pushing the button.

I used disposables on my son, but my daughter, two years later, was highly sensitive to them. Same brand, Pampers as I recall. Were Luvs a thing in '78? Same as you, tomato red bottom and peeling skin, poor baby! A cool vinegar bath restored her pH and gave her relief, and then cloth diapers for her! Plain yogurt also works well.

Vinegar is acidic, so is urine.

I recently sold my 1985 Chevy short bed Silverado. It had a 305 engine. Shiny black. I had to pat the accelerator a couple times before I turned the key.

I purchased in in 1993 from it's original owner with less than 50,000 miles. For many years it was my main ride, my daughter's ride to school, grocery getter, camper puller, etc. I loved that old truck. Everything worked. Great a/c. I've had lots of folks want to buy it over the years. It was cold natured. I'm getting older. I finally decided to sell it.

A young fellow bought it that lives close by. He is having some things done to it. I told him if he see's me, to please give it some gas so I can hear the dual exhaust once in a while!

Taxes, repairs, even the collision insurance was cheap. They do not make them like that anymore. Now mechanics need computers to figure out what is wrong with them.

We're you inspired to purchase that sweet ride by Jackson's "Chattahoochee" or McLean's "American Pie"?

Just always loved that body style. Everyone was surprised I sold it.

We have a truck that hubby usually drives. I am driving a small car but on the look out for another truck. I had that old Chevy for 30 yrs. I got a good price for it. The kid that bought it was so excited. He had been looking for something like it for a while.

Vinegar helps restore the body's ph, it can be very calming to use a small amount in a bath. I use an apple cider vinegar hair rinse about twice a month. Restores ph and cleans the scalp and hair of build up. Very good if you have dandruff(I don't but my one sister does and loves this rinse)

Thanks, Trip, I didn't know why it worked, just that it did.

Urine is sterile as it comes out of the body. But quickly becomes an excellent breeding ground for bacteria and yeast.

Nothing I say in the following is meant to be hurtful or mean but it’s just things that I have noticed in my few years of life.
I can remember when most families would eat together, at the same table! When children were taught manners, to be obedient & respectful of their elders! When it was unusual to hear of divorces & normal to know marriages of 30-40 yrs.
I remember when kids were sent outdoors to play & encouraged to have an imagination. When kids were taught to read & expand their knowledge & vocabulary at the same time. When kids weren’t raised by the sewage spewed from Hollywood. When crime was unheard of in rural America, we slept at night with our windows open. Our neighbors were our friends & we knew them on a first name basis. When most everyone had respect for a Sunday & the few people who worked only did so in an emergency.

Sorry for the rant, but I was raised rather old fashioned & the state of society is disgusting from the perspective of how I was brought up!

I wish it were still like that. I agree and each day the United States is going further and further down the drain.

I had a mid 90s full size Chevy stepside short bed. I loved the body style. Traded it for a boat.
