It was the best van ever, for it served me and my family well. We used it every time for outings and family road trips. However, cars have their limits, and we had to let go of it because it maintaining it was getting too expensive to be cost-effective.<br />- <a href="http://www.spartantoyota.com/" rel="nofollow">Arlyne Nelms</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18385343454016167576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27682516.post-41157469796780186642010-12-01T21:39:38.072-05:002010-12-01T21:39:38.072-05:00The good old days look better and better most days...The good old days look better and better most days. True, life was sometimes harder, but it really seems that folks enjoyed what little they had more than today when folks have so much more.Beatrice P.

I have never had a dishwasher.<br /><br />The computer is great. Cell phones have their place but I think they are badly overused, and especially with kids these days. I go out to eat and see people lay their cell phones down beside their plates. Goodness, I think they should at least part from the phones for some duration. Unless someone is sick and in the hospital or they are expecting a VERY important call then I don't get it. I think it's rude to go eat with someone who spends all their time on the phone! What's the point??<br /><br />I think some of the wonderful cooking gadgets are a Godsend, like Kitchen Aide mixers! I recall my Mother beating her egg whites with a fork to make meringue. Now with a mixer you can do it in on time at all. <br /><br />I guess my favorite things are the washer, dryer, riding mower, and the cooking gadgets and convection ovens! And the microwave! Refrigerators too!!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802638037268741226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27682516.post-16686180063820504142010-11-27T17:39:53.568-05:002010-11-27T17:39:53.568-05:00I'm so glad to know that there is another pers...I'm so glad to know that there is another person out there who does not have a dihwasher !!Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749133391349265563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27682516.post-1700459651915130932010-11-27T08:32:08.804-05:002010-11-27T08:32:08.804-05:00when I was a child we had the mower without a moto...when I was a child we had the mower without a motor!! If you pushed fast you could sure cut some grass! I remember the wringer washer, and the big iron pot that mom boiled and bleached white clothes in. I drive a small car that looks like a million others on the road. Hubby wanted to buy me a new one...I said no, it would look like this one, and mine is payed for! I would like to have a new 57 Chevrolet though!!<br /><br />I sometime wonder how we did without a cell phone. With Pete being a truck driver we have to have one. He said you can't find a pay phone any more, not even at a truck stop.<br /><br />I agree,simpler was not always better. It was sometime a hard life. But, after all you never miss what you never had.<br /><br />I hope you had a good Thanksgiving day and enjoy your week end.<br /><br /> lorettaLorettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11529068814849612866noreply@blogger.com
