[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 732895, member: 18958"] All of those. Every. Single. One We never ever used a mop. Always on hands and knees. Clothesline every day. Grandmas. Wringer washer. Fires. Girl scouts. Rubber pants. Pins. That is all there was. Diaper service. Delivery of milk in bottles. Fire alarm boxes on corners. They were red and on telephone poles. Phone booths! I remember when mascara was not in tubes with wands. It was in tiny metal tubes. The brushes were red and separate. I remember before Kleenex. We used hankies. I used gloves! And a girdle! And roll up stockings! Until I was in middle age women's clothing for over 45 was in half sizes, and very matronly. I remember support hose. They were the norm after menopause. And varicose veins. Everybody must be having procedures because I have not seen a varicose vein in decades. My mother and grandmother wore hats. No white except for summer. [/QUOTE]
