My NEW $65 dishwasher

'we' meaning your parents.

 

Nope, us, later '70's. Diaper central lol.

 

Cloth diapers.

Glad technology made disposable diapers affordable .

 

Well I wanted to get another pack, for car polishing, went into Sears maybe 2 years back: you couldn't get them. One thing, all that plastic, fiber and you-know-what didn't end up in the landfill.

But yeah we gradually switched over to disposable, over the years. One time down at second beach, removed and rolled up a "used" one, and danged if a sharp-eyed but deranged seagull didn't fly off with it. I chased him up and down the beach but he was motivated, the dumb cuss.

 

when did you get electricity up there?

 

When I was a kid in Powell River, electricity was free I think, or next to it. The town's heart was the dam and generators, to run the paper mills, and the town was just along for the ride.

 

That would have made for great video.

You’ve got me laughing here with the wife wondering why.

 

we did cloth diapers in the 80's, but had an electric washing machine.

 

Down here in the lower 48, stepdad remembers the day it arrived at the farmhouse in 1948, thanks to the REA -- Rural Electrification Administration.

After turning on the electric lights, the next thing was to try out was an electric toaster. Three people, one loaf of bread, all quickly toasted and consumed.

 

Old-school toaster? My granny used one of those.

 

How can I tell if my toaster is old-school?

Do you mean the pre-electric type, like these current models? The farmhouse may have had one for the woodstove:

 

Like this:

 

That looks more like real old era styling.

 

Yeah you had to watch it like a hawk. Could use some sort of minute minder.
