Fortran 4 punch cards circa 1980. More than once I spelled something wrong early on, my name included, just to have them kicked back and hours of rerun. Computer Science and Fortran punch cards in ‘72 🤬. I think we got one run on the school (Ole Miss) computer a day. One comma, a period, or space out of place and the computer would spit it out. Dammit! If the mistake wasn’t bad enough to get spit out, one wrong entry and you could end up with a five inch stack of paper print outs with one number on each sheet. That was probably THE most frustrating courses I took as a required course for ROTC. I think I got a B out of the course but, most importantly, I learned how stupid computers are.

I eventually rented a terminal with a modem (seat the phone in the rubber holder and dial out with R2D2 sounds) that sat on my handloading bench in my bedroom. Well worth $20/month than deal with lines in the library.

Dittos to the "clean your plate" adage from Depression parents. And I still cannot bring myself to throw food away willingly.
One of my worst spankings came the day my Mom said "There are starving children in Europe who'd love to have that" because I had left something. Foolishly I replied, "So how does it help them if I eat this?" My come back for that was "oh yeah... name 3 of them" I think i was in a coma for a couple days...
Only a dingleberry, not yet a Turdlike person, maybe someday!!! I am happier than a retard in a room full of bouncy balls right now!! Joe.

Archie was the insurance man that stopped by to collect and doctor Carlson made House calls. Had coal delivered and unloaded down the chute to the coal room. Grandparents got electricity on the farm in the sixties, party line soon followed.

I’d wager you ain’t started a lot of tractors with a hand crank.
LOL My dad would start the two old Vauxhall sedans we had with a hand crank while mom worked the choke. The front doors opened backwards, for turn signals these little arms flipped out from near the door posts. I do recall the seats,?old cracked leather, still seemed a luxury. I don’t suppose anyone here watched the 1966 World Cup. England vs. West Germany at Wembley Stadium. England won 4-2 in overtime and the whole country was out in the streets celebrating. ‘69, we had to stay up ‘till the early hours of the morning to watch Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon.

I remember the outhouse that we used as kids way back in the early 1960s. That was at a one room country school in west central Ks. They did have one for boys and girls, as we only had two genders those days. We still only have 2 genders.

My Dad's Father and Mom had an outhouse in their back yard.
This was in the city and i remember helping dig the trench for the sewer hook up to city sewer.
Had to flower the outhouse hole with quick lime every so often.
The new restroom was built on the back porch and you had to go out the back door to get in.
Had no water heater so it was heated on the stove then hauled out.
Before that showers were done in a #10 washtub in the back yard in summer,in winter was done in the kitchen.
Life was nice back then.

How about sharing the same bath water?
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.
