[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 719952, member: 4152"] Haven't thought of Dippity Do or sanitary napkins with the safety pins in a very long time. My guess is that most young women today would have trouble even believing you if you described the latter. My husband is a little older than myself and he recalls having to go to his college football team game's wearing a nice shirt and tie! WTH? I have two rather positive "old timey" memories from my youth. One is watching Star Trek on Friday nights and my mother usually made blue berry turnovers that came frozen in a box and she would put it in the oven and it was delicious! The other was for a big birthday, I think 13, my parents bought me a hair dryer kind of like the ones you would see at the salons, but portable. It came in a giant case and out from the case came the top hood part in heavy plastic that you would sit under, usually with curlers in your hair. We also had a clothesline as someone mentioned...I barely recall when my mom used it for everything. When I was rather young, we got a dryer. However, she still used the clothesline for sheets and towels...but the towels would end up stiff as a board! Do you remember wearing bathing caps in the pool or ocean? Usually white with a strap under the chin? If you were lucky, your cap had a pink rubber flower on it or something. [/QUOTE]
