We had a shared telephone line with several of our rural neighbors. I think it was called a "party line".
People on our loop could listen in on our phone conversations and vice versa. We had a couple of ladies on our loop that would tie up the line for hours. It was a big deal when we finally got a private line. |

We were at lunch too; and a lady had a transistor radio that she held up to her ear and she relayed a play by play for us. Space pens were a hot item. Everyone else’s knows them as ball point pens. |

I especially agree with using an Atlas.....batteries don't wear out on them, you're never out of range, and on a dark and stormy day lightning is not a problem your service won't go down. |

Big console TV cabinets that had a round bezel over the picture tube. Like having a ship's porthole on the TV picture.
My parents bought one in the mid-1960s when I was about 7 or 8. I said, "Mom, this fucking thing sucks balls". They had the appliance company swap it for another console that had the regular 4:3 picture tube. First show I watched on our new color TV: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I use a safety razor but just chunk the blades. There is a company now making slot outlines to put into the wall or medicine cabinet now. When TV stations signed off with the playing of the naitonal anthem. They played Dixie, and then Battle Hymn of the Repbulic in my AO. |
