We did not have dial phone until 1969 had the crank on the wall. Everyone on the party line had a different ring everyone knew when you got a call an often knew when to pick up their phone an listen in. Our# was 4F21.
Out houses most of my relatives had them. When my gfather passed in 1990 he still had no running water in his house.
1 black an white TV in the whole house we only got 2 channels on.
Only going grocery shoppin once a week if you forgot something or ran out of something you waited till next week on shopping day to get it.
When 3 meals a day was actually cooked NO microwave, my family did not eat out except very rare occasions. All grocery bags was paper.
NO A/C in house or car.
School lunches was cooked right there in the school cafeteria an cooked the same as at home just in larger amounts.
About the car seats my babies came home from hospital in car seats in the late 70's mine was similar to the ones sold today but to days are padded more an much safer. Most peeps did not invest in car seats until they had to. My youngest was born in 1990 and when she was out growing her car seat as a preschooler I talked to her dr about a booster seat that I thought kids should be in them much longer. He told me that would never happen an that parents would never invest more money in car seats. The dr himself did not grasp what I was saying about the kids bodies just not being big enough for seatbelt...maybe he was 1 that thought car seat was a pain to use....I never did I thought HOW can protectin my babies in car be any easier?

And I was an extremely short kid - we rode like that until I was too tall (head hitting the top of the cab), which was around 6 or 7.
Confused by this. If you don't parallel park, where do you park? In parking lots only?
) in front of people's houses?
The bolded reminds me of when I was interning to become a funeral director. I spent tons of time learning all the tasks involved in the role, including driving the stretch limos. I'd been driving for years and have always been considered a really great parker, but it took me a lot of tries to be confident parallel parking those beasts.
