I absolutely love all of these posts. Makes one long for the good old days....Oh and a wooden swing on the porch or under the tree.

I know things were tuff back than but there was so much more love, caring and feelings for others. My mom had 13 of us and sometimes I'd love to go back to the good old days.

It seems like everyone is constantly using their cell phone to check the Internet, text or talk to someone.

You go to a restaurant and everyone is looking at a little screen.

We have lost the warmth of personal communication.

I agree! This goes for all the txting, messaging and talking on the phone while you're driving, or just walking down the street.

Oh I agree, I get so upset at dinner when my 24 yr olds phone goes off. I told him we really don't need them at the dinner table, he just gives me one of those looks.
My two GD can't go to bed without the cell phones in there hands and there only 14 &15??

Big Ditto, this one!

Would like to keep the income of today and go back to the prices of the early 1960s.............

I think this might be my choice, too.

My MIL(Bless her Heart!) had a square Maytag that did about twenty loads a week for about 20 years. Around that area (MO) many people washed on the back porch during the good weather. Just love the idea.

I should add...My first washer was a "EASY SPINDRYER". Love that machine but could not fit it into our next house. Had to go Automatic in the basement. Now my W/D are on the 2nd floor where all laundry starts.
