truly wild how fast things change.

I remember talking to my great-grandmother....and how she remembered things. The super big deal about women being able to wear pants, and women riding astride.

RoboDuck, anybody who can converse in a coherent manner is welcome. We even have a few that can't remember any of those things you named, but hey, we need somebody to fluff the cushions and push the wheelchairs, right?

My great-grandfather grew up thinking that women didn't have legs like men........

Not competing.... just reminiscing.... LOL. and commiserating.... wE lived in Las Vegas in those years Never having an air conditioner actually IN the car. We Rented one for crossing the desert.... One of those things you fill with water and mount on the windowpane.... It was run by air flowing through it from the free way. So it wasnt worth owning one.

And we hung drinking water in a canvas Jug in front of the radiator....

Oh, Roboduck, one assignment before you are considered a full fledged member. I didn't want to make this a requirement, but Vehve insisted and he can be quite persistent if he doesn't get his way. You must post four pictures. One of chickens or eggs, one of a person you find attractive but don't know personally, one of either your garden or one you would like to have, and one of what you are having for supper tonight. I'm sorry, it really is silly but we like to humor Vehve.

Oh what I would give to have been able to talk to my Great Grandparents... but alas it was not meant to be.... they were preteens during the Civil War. Or War of Northern Aggression if you will.

You must post three pictures. One of chickens, one of a person you find attractive but don't know personally, and one of either your garden or one you would like to have.
