Don’t worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will avoid you. —Winston ChurchillÂ
There are no limits to what you can accomplish when you’re supposed to be doing something else.

I remember that Navy poster. My mom had one in the living room for some reason. She hated it because it reminded her of when she was in the Navy. My mom was a weird woman.

The electrolux brought back memories. Mom had one for 40 years. When it broke, I gave her the one I procured in 1974 because I wanted a more modern vacuum. When she passed away in 1983, it was inside the house. I still use the electrolux from 1974, even though it no longer has the carpet sweeper attachment. In the meantime, I went thought many other vacuums.
You can still find the bags for it, but it takes some searching.

Sigh… I miss the days when you could buy an appliance and expect it to last more than just a couple of years.

Me, too. Several years ago, I was going to throw away the fridge that has rust all over the outside. My parents bought it in the 1970’s. It still runs. I bought 3 fridges between now and the time I gave the fridge to my better half for him to use.

Aw, these are fun! I love the different color choices for the refrigerator handles. And wonder if the $2.98 wrist radio worked better than the $30 walkie-talkies I bought my kids. With a range from the bottom of the steps to the top of the steps.
Also, just FYI: Grannys need the energy candy gives too.

Isn’t that the truth! We need it more than the kids do. They have way too much energy already.

I remember the wrist radio; it’s a typical comic book advertisement…it’s just a teensy crystal radio reciever not two-way.
