You could trust your car to he man who wears the the Star, the big bright Texaco Star!
Great advertising, I remember it to this day. Now who remembers the duo, who did the lines from DUZ detergent?

Hi Snow,
Remember LSMFT: Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco
or: Loose Straps Mean Floppy Tits 
Quickly, where can I hide?

I can remember back in the day when the apt house converted the boiler from coal to Oil.
No more banging on the pipes early in the morning to wake the super up to statrt sheveling coal in the furnace for hot water and heat.
In college the real estate investor converted the coal room into a inexpensive one room flop for a poor college student. Lucky for me I could afford more than that. thanks to the G.I. Bill $175/month paid for eveerything tuition rm & board, books and jumping.
Had a room on the second floor. Every place there was a door in the house was made into a single room. The basement had a kitchen that was never cleaned and was divided into flops with pallet wood.
Life was good.

I couldn't decide between here and BV's sick and twisted thread, but seeing as how this is a true storyI thought this thread.
Why did that picture elicit a thought about christmas tree angels??

That is why we have always used a star on the tree.

My dad and I use to go shooting every weekend, there was a small closed off, unventilated room in the basement with a gas stove where we would cast bullets a couple days a week...when the molds would get too hot I'd let them cool off by resting them an asbestos pad.
Lead fumes & asbestos ~ Yummy!
Doesn't seem to have have have have have done me any harm...
My dad used to load his own ammo, too. My sibs and I used to play with molten lead on a regular basis. All of which was unsupervised, too!
I do remember a neighbor kid getting a pretty nasty burn from an Easy Bake Oven. Those light bulbs were pretty unforgiving
edit to add: Every time we would stop for gas, one of us would be tasked with the job of getting out and scouring the gas station for lead tire weights that had fallen off vehicles. The reward was first melting rights.
But those Mattel Vacu-Forms, you could do some real damage with those. But you couldn't remelt the metallic sheets.
Soldiers, bullets, toy cars, etc... None of us got hurt either, beyond a minor drip of lead on a finger which we just shook off. 
oldwomanc6I forgot "DUCK AND COVER!" drills
That was one advantage of growing up in West Virginia. Everyone hated and distrusted the Federal Government, even in the 50s. I remember in maybe second grade, 1960 or so, a teacher came into the room and started talking in low tones to our teacher. These two ladies were discussing Duck and Cover. The one was new and didn't know what to do. I was close enough to overhear it and it's the first time I heard the joke about "In case of nuclear attack put your head between your legs and kiss your butt goodbye."
We never did do the drills
jumpsalot-2I remember when you could buy a pound of Mexican bud for $ 90, or $ 10 an ounce.
Yeh, but it was 90 percent seeds. I remember one guy holding a plastic bag with a pound up to the light and getting excited because there were three buds in it.

Newbie!
What happened to the term "Turkey" for new types?
Gone, along with (thankfully) Ben Murphy.
I don't mean to keep jumping on your posts only, but we seem to have grown up in the same time/dimension.
Hmmm......do you have a fat problem, or could it merely be a size issue ?
