Easier to drink em' both DOWN............................ If you try to drink em' both up, you'll end up wearing them..................................
May or may not have already been mentioned, but add this one to the list. Flipping through the Sears Christmas catalogue.... (Thanks to Holland Dell for mentioning it)
The Sears catalog, had everything in it. What a wish book for sure. Thinking the other day another thing kids won't know about due to the LED bulbs, holding a thermometer over a light bulb so it showed a fever (if you didn't take it to far up!) and got a free day off of school.
Reading the old Sears catalog? Many times it was used for something else... Probably not many remember that though.
Thought those were the National Geographics!! Or the underwear section of Sears (so spicy)! Read it, crinkle it all up, use it, dispose of it. That what you thinking of?
Until I was about 14 or so, I thought the Sears catolog contained everything that was available in the world! My mother was a hard core Sears shopper through the local outlet-place an order pick up the next week. School clothes, Christmas presents-everything came from Sears.
There are houses I have seen here in the U.P. that were ordered out of the sears catalog and all parts shipped to destination via rail car!
I remember when job satisfaction means being satisfied that you had a job. During the 1980’s and 1990’s, a big business problem was trying to teach computers to people who still had a problem folding a road map, or even reading one. When I was growing up, one of the first things one learned was how to feed a calf. Next was how to pitch dung. I succeeded.
Eaton's was the big mail-order outfit in Canada. There must be some Eaton's houses around here, but I don't know exactly which ones are. There is a barn nearby that cost $1900 in 1919. It's a big one, a lot bigger than Granddad's 24 x 40 foot barn.
