I remember washing our baby girls cloth diapers in my Mom's wringer washer.... with one galvanized wash tub.... and then carrying the clothes outdoors in a basket, and hanging them on the line.... It was a REAL job in those days....
We only had one car, and DH took that one to work.... If we went to the store, we walked.... with that HUGE baby buggy.... I picked up things in the store, and laid them on top of her, then paid for them through the check-stand.... But I LOVED having my "own" little family!
Oh yes! And I loved mowing the big lawn with our push-mower... while DH was working! I did the same things my Mom and my Grandma did.... I never had a dryer, until the girls were in grade-school.... and I STILL only run it for about 10 minutes, then hang things either on hangers on the one line we have, or on the metal rack to finish drying.... We saved money that way.... And I am the dish-washer.... Ha! Don't have one of those either.... And no..... I DON'T like being "old"..... I wish we were younger, and felt better, but the good thing is, we are HERE, and we are happy!

It's funny how we have all the conveniences, but have less time. Is it because we are to busy with the maintenance of them?0

Ditto to all that was said and THANKS,,,,,,,will have a nice comeback when the discussion floats this way. It's all perspective. Then we just dealt with it and it was normal. We didn't think green, we lived it.

Chevy boy, love that! So true! We weren't nearly as wasteful as they think we were. I think we had it pretty good in our day. Atleast we could have a vocal conversation. Kids now just type. Don't even learn how to write cursive. So sad

Aphrodite looked better lolling around in her seashell, that's how she got away with it.
Chevy love the green story so much of that true for my growing up.

Mags.... Hah.... ! Yes,We need to be more Aphroditey-ish!
I was looking around my kitchen window this morning, and thought it's "cluttered"... I have a pretty ceramic plaque my Daughter gave me, (God, bless our family)..... a little tiny vase the neighbor gave me, an Aloe plant..... in short, I have stuff all over the place! I even save toilet paper card-board, cover it with pretty Duck tape, and use to wind up cords... I do the same with little boxes... to hold things in the drawers or garage...
My Grandma and my Mom just saved every little thing! Even potato peelings go out in my pots... to freeze and use for mulch, along with the coffee grounds. I was born green.... Hah! The city provides us with big purple dumpster/barrels that we fill, and we put all of our re-cycle's in there. You can get GREEN ones also, for mulch, but I do my own mulch stuff... And we recycle for free! The mulch ones cost a little.....to have picked up.
Hah Feeling! That was funny about Aphrodite... "Lolling around".... Aren't those "Conch" shells or something? My Dad worked for a Florist, and used to stock the most BEAUTIFUL shells in his store, for plantings! And he made them a "Lanai" in their yard near San Francisco, with Koi, in the pond he made..... and the netting, and shells.... Even piped Hawaiian music out to the Lanai....! How sweet to think of that!
Dad used to tell us to put it up to your ear, and you could hear the Ocean! Of course I believed him... because after all... that's where it CAME from... right?
