Have you lived?

[TerryinMD]

Sharpsburg, Md is bound and determined to keep anything and everything commercial from interferring with its historic image. With the Antitem Battlefield as a neighbor, the town is very deligent about not becoming another Gettyburg, PA. Amen!!

Some other oldies from TV days: Little Rascals, Soupy Sales, and who can forget, Captain Kangaroo...

Did anyone else have milk breaks and Goiter pills in grade school?

Nope, that's a new one to me.

Milk breaks yes, but what is a goiter pill?

Keep the greasy side down.

How about Mr. Dressup, Casey and Finnigan. I heard a while back that the man who played Mr. Dressup, who lives in Canada, had a stroke. I don't suppose anyone heard anything beyond that?

I guess I've lived. I remember quite a bit of this.

How about the sound of coal rolling down the chute into the coal bin in the basement?

Playing Davy Crockett and re-enacting the Alamo (and who remembers 'ol Betsy'?)

Pin boys?

Scultz and Dooley?

Going to the YMCA and using the lathe to make lamps from bowling pins?

Sitting at the lunch counter at McCrory's Five and Dime and picking a balloon which when popped would reveal the price of the banana split you just ate (from a penny to 39 cents)

All the do it yourself magazines had articles or plans to build your own. As I recall, the filtration of air was the major problem. Dad looked at some type of already made things, that you buried yourself. I think they were fiberglas, and sort of saucer shaped. They kinda looked like a round camping trailer/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Lets add:
Cranking the cream separator
licking the ladle from the hand cranked icecream maker that used real cream
Harnessing up the horses to go to town as the roads were blocked with snow
spending days stooking
shovelling barley in bin at trashing time. [ kids always got this job ]
Filling the hay mow with loose hay using a grapple and horses
buying 22 shells[ whiz bangs ]for $0.35 a box

Great list, some things I had forgotten all about. My wife and kids call these Senior Moments, not fond memories.

They had several plans for air filtration that required FRAM oil filters and a hand crank. Apparently, the oil filter was able to filter out dust particles that might be contaminated with radioactivity. Don't know what they'd do about water.
