Who remembers

that milk y'all got delivered ... I was the one milking the cows

Aunt and uncle up the street were still getting milk delivered until around 1978ish. I was pretty young then and don’t remember exactly what year it was when they quit delivering to them, but I do remember them getting deliveries for a while growing up.

Anybody remember smelly cloth diaper pails with bleach in them. Or when Color TV came out. Thinking Walt Disney on Sunday nights

Yes to B&W tv, wringer washing machines, milk delivery, cess pools, wood stove at my grandparents, a “swill” bucket hanging off the back porch for the hog farmer, outhouses, fences to keep the free range cows out of our neighborhood yards, coal and wood burning locomotives, no ac, party phone lines, sock hops, playing outside till dark, no plastics, cars without ac, standard transmissions, cane poles and level wind fishing reels, wooden fishing lures, paper shotgun hulls, drive ins, 27 cents a gallon gas, ice houses, and drinking from water hoses.

I remember the water in Palatka it was bad. I believe it was bad in Ft Pierce too. Where ever the Tropicana juice plant was located.

Clotheslines

I do, cream rose to the top of the bottles, Mathis Dairy in Atlanta Ga.

Attic fan - grand parents had them in Miami. When we were kids it was HUGE!!! Afternoon naps, you'd have to "peel" yourself off the fake leather couches in a pool of sweat....
Charlie Chips - my parents never bought them but friends parents did, the metal canisters made a good drum set....
Never had milk delivered
The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau - probably the reason I'm commenting on this board after the FS Forum collapse, inspired many things water associated...
Seacamp in Big Pine Key - anyone ever been there??? 3 years in a row. I guess a trade off for Charlie chips.... glad I took the trade....

When I was in kindergarten and 1st grade we took field trips to the "egg farm" must have been a million eggs a day that went through that plant. And then we had the colonial bakery. That was a pretty cool field trip too. When I got older I actually worked on a dairy some. The man I worked for there was good people. My willingness to work had there had nothing to do with his daughter that was a couple a three years younger than me and her beautiful DDs 😁

A few years later after nearly working himself to death he sold the dairy to a developer who turned in into "Roundabout Plantstion Golf Course. Still makes me sick driving by it now. He moved to the next county north and built chicken houses. A lot less work. He wS finally getting to enjoy life again. He suffered a massive stroke at 44. I attribute it at least partially to working 8 days a week 19 hours a day o
N that dairy for so long. There are still 2 dairy left in my county. One has a farm store where they sell raw milk and cheese. Good shit. Owned by a Dutch family. Good peeps.

It was 1974 when I slept in a house with air conditioning. 😉
Growing up in north Florida it was a luxury. The elementary school didn’t have it either.
No GPS or cellphone, while driving a truck. Just a road atlas, an address and a phone number. Load in Jacksonville and head for either San Francisco or LA. Always seemed to get there on time.
Same with fishing. Head off shore the only electronics was a CB radio and later a VHF. But always got a load of grouper and snapper.

Dacron fishing line. Woolworths. No self service at the pumps.

You mean "Three in the Tree". Lol

Putting paper rolls in the depth sounder.

Was in the middle of the Ozark mountains a couple weeks back and stopped in a small town for gas and it was full service only. Haven’t seen that in a looooong time. Kind of a nostalgic experience.
