    LOL, I've never even heard of a "vent window". But when I was about 4 years old, I remember my grandfather had a car with manual windows

    Default Every back yard HAD THIS IN THE Old days up to the 50s!

    Every back yard had a cloths line system, (as they called them in the 50's and earlier... depending on the size of your family, you could have a huge set of lines running many feet to handle the cloths that were hung to dry! THAT WAS IT! No other option! LOL Yes the good old days! I still remember my grandmother that had 8 children, 5 boys and 3 grils, including my mother, hanging out the wash! Women them days had to be TOUGH!!! Washing machines did not have a spin cycle,,,,lol,,, they had a wringer! As a woman using the wringer could be a very dangerious operation.... Its where that saying came from,((( don't get your @$#@ in the wringer!)) LOL

    Yeah I can still remember when I was a young kid when mom
    would do a big load of laundry using one of the old wringer type
    washing machines.

    I can still remember grandma doing all of the washing by hand with
    one of those old washboards in a big steel tub of water and then she
    would wring them all out by hand.

    For those of you young enough to not know what a washboard looks
    like here is a pic of one.

    Default Flying Sure has Changed.... hummmmm

    Yes those days,,,,, on board chief are HISTORY NOW! Peanuts and a diet coke given to you by a 90 year old guy or gal. I remember when stewardesses were beautiful, and you had to be knock out gorgeous! You also in the early days could not be married! Now,,,, some are great grandmothers... !! O,,,,, I am all for it!!! Age and ugly should not keep a person from being hired as a stewardess.






    This was the GOOD OLD DAYs and reason many young men dreamed of becoming a pilot in their teens!! LOL

    Default Natural Hair Color

    When was the last time you actually saw a woman with NATURAL hair color??? ALMOST NEVER might be the answer~~~ That is getting to be about the same never for MEN! LOL Many women will, and do lie about their hair color.

    Only ONE way to know for sure,,,,,

    See if the color under their arms matches!!





    A perfect match below, rare to find!!!

    Default Chicks on alligator bikes!!

    You know there was a time when you would see dozens of chicks just like this one, all riding alligator bikes!! I think that company went out of business several years ago. Funny, I thought they were swamped with orders, back in 1967!!

    The company that use to make the bikes, went into Health Drinks,,,, Gator-aide,,,, and now you know the rest of the story! Those bikes were
    beautiful!

    Hey! Did RV just call me "old" since I still have/use about 8 or 9 of these items?

    Oh, and Iceman, my hair is still natural color! Red, with a few grays here and there...
