(9,175 posts)so were others in our neighborhood. They were great and did a good job but everyone started buying power lawn mowers and those of us that had push mowers caved.
I took the bus and walked from '72 to 97', tapering off walking but I still walk my neighborhood even though I have a car. Our streetcar did shut down in 1957 but they have brought it back!
We bought bic pen refills and changed them out probably up to around 1980 and possibly beyond.
Most of my jobs were physical up to 1997 so yes, that was my exercise as was/is walking, I was walking to and from work or to the bus stop depending if I was running late or not.
My nephews were in cloth diapers in '84, as was I in '66. Granted, my nephews were living in Holland.
Though we had more than one electrical outlet in many rooms there were a couple that only had one (bathrooms) and we
didn't have power strips to plug multiple items into.
I get the point from both the meme and your comments. It's important to keep figuring this out and doing what we can where we can as there is nothing wrong in pointing out that efforts have been made by people for decades and that we have come to dispose of things or replace things that are maybe not actually necessary.
