Remember when...

You can still get milk delivery here, too.
I used mimeographs until 1992, when I was teaching. Before I moved here, I worked in a large HS in Mesa, AZ, where there was a copy center. Students did all of the work for the teachers and there were copy machines. Came back here and teachers weren't "allowed" to use the copy machine! So for 2 years, I had purple hands.
Once I started teaching in Shrewsbury, in 92, they had more "modern" stuff and copying wasn't a problem.
I still like creamesicles, though I am sure they cost more than 7 cents.

I remember sniffing freshly mimeographed stuff our teacher would pass out in class.

I remember getting work sheets and tests that were copied on a "hectograph" which was two frames hinged together like a book. One side was filled with a gel, the other closed to hold the paper tightly to the gel. The origianal was made with a special pencil, the gel was moistened, original pressed on the moistened gel for a few minutes and then removed. Then the blanks were pressed onto the gel and some of the "ink" transferred to the paper. It was only good for maybe 10 copies, but that was enough in our one room school with max enrollment of 14.

I remember our pick-up truck with the key anchored to the steering column by a leather throng so it wouldn't get lost.

I remember when we got an electric well pump and no longer were dependent on the wind to get water.

I remember Mom's excitement when we got a clothes dryer for the first time. She didn't get an automatic washer until I had my first child, using a wringer washer most of her life.
