LMAO! Ctg492!It's been sooo long since I've manually operated (rolled/cranked down) a car/vehicle window! So long in fact I don't remember the last time.

Herbgeek. I didn't, but shame on me, the actresses name is right at the top of the video, yet I didn't see it!
My car (Toyato Echo) has crank windows - I prefer them actually. My previous car had the automatic ones and each one has a separate motor, so when one goes out you have to have it fixed and at that time it was about $100.00. So good old crack ones are just fine and not so expensive to repair.Originally Posted by ctg492
Crank car windows///do they still make those? My last one was in my Yugo

Okay, this is a BIGGIE. I am so old...........I remember my great grandfather having what he called a "quill". It was a glass straw that he used to drink from. Not disposable, a glass one. It was bend so that it was easy for someone who might be sick in bed to drink from. Does ANYONE at all remember this?

No, but I learned cursive using a quill in second grade. Not really, I used a ‘pencil’.
YES! I've seen "quills" in some antique shops and am dying to start collecting them (uh, gazingus pin?) I'm so old I remember when FM radio was a HUGE deal, but we all kept listening to AM anyway for a few years. (Why?)
I'm so old it only took 5 digits (DIALED) on the wall phone to call my friends, and my grandma still referred to numbers with their exchange name. "Lucerne 3543, please?)
I don't remember that one, but I remember my grand dad using a straight razor, a strop, and shaving soap in a mug. I've actually thought of giving it a try someday.

Wooden pencils smell good. When our house was for sale a little boy was so excited by our pencil sharpener that he wanted to be sure it stayed with the house.
Funnily enough, I just thought of that L'Eggs commercial this week. I saw someone with legs like that, but she WASN'T wearing pantyhose. Are there facelifts for legs??
Did anyone have one of those plastic carrying things for half gallon milk cartons? Ours was blue, and I think it had daisies on it. The carton slid in from the top, there was a handle and one or two horizontal hard plastic straps. Made it easy to hold for pouring. Oh, and those cow shaped creamers? My great aunt had one that mooed.
Our small drinking glasses were the flowered glasses from sour cream.
Not only do I recall them, I have two, a half gallon one and a quart one.
Now here's the "I'm so old ... part." I've had them since 1972 when my summer job from college was as a plastics machine operator. I'm sooo old that "I made them". Wish some one still sold them today.

OMG! World Foodie, that's it!! I didn't think they made them anymore since most milk containers I see are plastic handled ones.
