    I watched the same kids at least once a month overnight and one Friday night a month. Their parents were good friends with my parents.

    My little sister and I made a day of it every couple of months shopping and lunch. Plus I saved a lot of it for a rainy day as my parents would say.

    [QUOTE=Endora;7881856]Marge954, got me hooked on this one! Thanks, Marge!

    Have you ever sewed before using an old-fashioned treadle sewing machine? I do frequently, I have 3.

    You still have crocheted flower pot baskets/holders from the 70's hanging in your home?nope

    What was the going rate (per hour) when you used to babysit? $1

    Did you have a changing table when your kids were babies? nope

    Who still uses an old-fashioned top-loading washing machine? I have a top loader, but its a HE type

    How many here still iron/press clothing (aside from fabric when quilting/sewing)? I do because I mostly wear cotton clothing, polyester makes me feel too hot.
