    Geez...I'm not even as old as y'all and I remember having a rotary dial phone...heck we even still had a party line when I was little.
    It was a little newer than the one it in the picture, but we had a sweeper like that too...

    I haven't got to the end yet but if no one mentioned it I think you are referring to Mumblety-peg. There is a few youtubes about it.

    When one lives so far out of town and away from civilization where cell phones don't work, land lines are a good idea. Wood heat and Ramen noodles are a must have, also.:handshake:

    The way we played it was more like chicken , you start out with your feet spread out , Other person throws the knife into the ground Between Your feet Then you move One foot up to The knife , You keep doing that until your feet are Closer together see how close you can get before you chicken out or till you get stabbed in the foot.
    The goal for us mostly, was to see how well you can throw the knife and not stick The other person in the foot

    We used to play it with our homemade Spears too until my friend got one stuck right through the side of his shoe and scraped his foot up

    Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging 7 cents just to mail a letter?

    If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00,

    Nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.

    When I first started driving, who would have thought Gas would someday cost 25 cents a gallon? Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.

    I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They're even making electric typewriters now.

    It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.



    It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet.

    I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.

    Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to government.

    The fast food restaurant is convenient for a quick meal, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.

    There is no sense going on short trips any more for a weekend. It costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay in a hotel.

    No one can afford to be sick anymore. At $15.00 a day in the hospital, it's too rich for my blood.

    If they think I'll pay 30 cents for a haircut, forget it.
