    Old gas stations

    AMC dealers in the US sold Renault autos for a time. Pretty much all of them would qualify as deux chevaux performance wise. Contrary ones at that.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I still use that one occasionally. It gets the point across without use of the cruder terms that have replaced it.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    It has been a long time coming. A side observation though is the decline in public behavior and decency of the common citizen. Demanding and hissy pitching foolishness over the tiniest of inconvenience and outrage over being told no. It is not limited to any age group or social class. A...

    The Fedora Lounge 4.0

    I must confuse the devil out of them then. Most of the ads that pop up other than a few things related to my occupation (usually high visibility clothing) are either things that are in no way interesting to me or are related to the topic of the thread I am reading. Sorry guys, no sale.

    I'm glad they preserved it, but that cheap vinyl window needs to go.

    Want a new shaving cream

    I have a Trumper rose in the cupboard. It's nice and more importantly, SWMBO likes it. I had a Truefitt limes a couple years ago. It was fine, but I think I wouldn't spend the extra for another one. I would probably go with the Trumper limes.

    I think it's Exsol. I've seen a few pieces of stuff online, but I know nothing about the company.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    The bookmobile was a fixture in several small communities around here. Two different library districts. Both had lady drivers. One was very sweet, the other would put the fear of God into every child who dared climb the steps.

    Vintage Things That Will NOT Disappear In Your Lifetime

    As a child I liked pickle and pimento loaf. I haven't eaten it in well over 40 years and the idea of going out to find some doesn't appeal to me at all.

    Chores That You Really Hate(d)

    Security is great, but some sites are getting ridiculous. "You must use 2 numbers, but not consecutively, 3 capital letters, all different and a "special symbol" from the following list. You must change your password at least every 90 days. You cannot reuse a password that you have used in the...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    They had quite a shindig down the street last night. Or it may have been a hootenanny, depending on who was telling the story.

    Another variation around here was "hell bent for election."

    My mother had the home version of the deli slicer. I have no idea where it came from other than possibly something she got as a gift or door prize. She was always a minimalist on such things, so I can't see her buying one. It would slice ham or roast beef like tissue paper.

    Vintage Things That Will NOT Disappear In Your Lifetime

    The can opener reminded me of another 1960's/'70's thing, the electric knife. I only really remember them being used at holiday dinners, but it seemed like most people in my orbit had one. They were popular wedding gifts for a time, but I seriously doubt they show up on many bridal registries...

    With bonus built in knife sharpener! Yes I do. And you are correct, most ended up in a cabinet or stuck in the basement for exactly the reasons you gave.

    ^^ They are the best. We have a Kitchen Aid version too that is fancier, but doesn't work better.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Good for him. He must not live in California. I've been told it is illegal to harvest rainwater there, since according to the state it belongs to the state.
