    DH had ox teams, and he was a founding member of the MidWest Ox Drovers Association, based in Michigan, with members all over the country. We have an annual gathering in late June at Tillers near Kalamazoo, Michigan, and there's a website. I've posted him with our last team, long ago. It was...

    Cars: the last rental I had to drive, the emergency brake was a button, right where any passenger could bump it. And how is an electronic gadget supposed to work in a real emergency?!? Disposable diapers, they were awful in the early 70's, and we were under serious water rationing at the time...

    Agree. No teflon here for a very long time, and no 'non-stick' coated pans of any sort. Cast iron or stainless steel, some pyrex. Mary

    Bacon, from essential morning and cooking ingredient, to an evil pleasure occasionally. Sad! I remember the bacon grease container, out on the stove, never in the ice box! Used before rancid too. Essential for REAL potato salad, corn chowder, potato soup, and green beans, at least. Also for...

    Loved those fountain pens! And penmanship in grade school and high school, a big thing. Then college, writing pages of notes per hour (not like now!) totally blew up that lovely writing style. Now, sort of legible, better than some, but pretty bad. Mary

    Used to make Christmas cookies, like mom and I did. The last time I made them, took days, over a dozen varieties, I then made chocolate mousse in addition. NOT ONE cookie was eaten, everyone ate the mousse. It takes maybe thirty minutes to make, two different recipies, and that's what happens...

    Computer games? You're joking! There were no hand held calculators until after college, it was all by hand. Livestock Nutrition class, formulating rations on paper, all longhand. Ugh! And our first calculator, which only did simple arithmetic, cost $85, a big price then, and in Japan, where...

    It's about the 'haven't shaved in a week' look. Why? Men either had an actual beard and/ or upper lip decoration, or not. Mary
