    I remember and sometime appreciate the memories. I remember driving miles to find a pay phone, of having to go to the library and calculators were considered cheating in a class……...

    “What are pay phone boxes” is a very apt statement these days…….

    The sound of an old cash register.

    I remember the sound of a crackly old public telephone that was a half mile down the street. It used to cost 4 Pence (4 big shiny copper pennies) in the days before we had decimal currency.I remember the sound (In the distance) of the electric trams that we had here in Brisbane as they ground up the hill to the terminus at The Grange. I remember the sound of the cattle as they were herded up into the milking barn at milking time every day.4 A.M. & 4 P.M.

    I remember the "sounds" of these kinds of


    activities. Pretty rare now. Some poor little


    child could get injured and we mustn't have that!


    This is better and so much safer.....

    Very.

    Yes, many fond memories.  Note the extended family appears to be saying grace and there are no "modern conveniences" to distract them from sharing some time together.

    Notice how they "dressed for dinner" too.

    Yep, no one is in pajamas, swimsuit, robe, wife-beater. It DOES look like a holiday meal, though. ;D

    What on earth is a wife beater? (I know the real kind but I assume it's some kind of clothing.)
    Bob/PKB

    A sleeveless man's "undershirt"....like a "tank top".

    Oh okay. They look so classy at the dinner table. :(
    Bob/PKB

    I always expect a breeze of foul body odor to accompany the guys wearing them. :(

    Exactly....they look as though they would smell. :(

    You can't "beat" seeing a man wearing a wife beater shirt with socks and sandals. LOL

    Hahaha I do!

    When girls were girls,  and men were men.
