My school days spanned from 1969 to 1981, 1st through 12th grades. I was skinny, no matter how much I would try to shovel into my mouth. I was also a gay kid growing up in West Texas, so you can imagine. I had a "lazy eye" that wasn't completely obvious, but I had real trouble with eye-hand...

Fake Estate Sales!!! When I lived in Dallas, my friend and I were addicted to estate sales. We would absolutely HATE it when we'd arrive at an advertised "estate" sale, only to find it to be a garage sale. We always wondered if the culprits intentially advertised the sale as an estate sale in...

Very amusing, Tomturbomatic!! I don't remember far back enough when our Sears had the vacuum tubes, but our JCPenney's and Levine's had them. Now, they didn't fascinate me as much as cash registers did.

My dad, the world's worst critic, didn't like Sears very much, I think because his brother-in-law liked it (ha!) We bought all our appliances at The Good Housekeeping Shop (Frigidaire). But he did like to buy his tools at Sears, and occasionally would buy clothes for my mom for Christmas. I...

The extra control panel looks like something that they added on at the last minute, or something! Or maybe it's a cable box! (ha)

Hey, if it's still available, I'd be glad to have it!! Let me know..... David [email protected]

Rosanne had a harvest gold Maytag washer & dryer pair, until the married couple bought it the day the door-to-door salesman died in their kitchen. Later, they had an eary 70s harvest gold Frigidaire set. We had the same washer, bought new in 72 or 73. In the later Bewitched episodes, I recall...

Love the brown(ish) Maytags!! Very cool!!

Betty looks like she's wonderful girl! I can see how she would steal your heart.

Honey!!! She is absolutely beautiful!! Did you mention how old she is? I may have missed it, if you did. I had a dachshund that looked a lot like her. His name was Bailey, and he was a sweetheart! However, he did seem to get revenge if I'd be away....destroying a telephone cord, chewing through...

Versatronic, I am loving your yellow countertop!!! Very, very cool!!!

That is an ever so smart looking red candy striped dress that the blonde in the lower right is wearing, don't you think? (ha)

Hmmm....they look harvest gold to me. It always bugs me when the dryer is on the left and the washer is on the right. Is there a protocol for proper placement?

Welcome to the site! And your dog is a real cutie!!

Price Guides I had a booth in an antique mall for about 5 years. What I used to do was to camp out at Barnes & Noble or Border's Books and pour over the price guide books in order to find out what things are worth, so I could price them fairly. All the book stores have a section for antiques...

I love how this picture is so out of scale....The husband and wife look like giants! But I guess giants need to wash their dishes, too.

Furr's elaboration Didn't mean to give the wrong impression, kevinpreston3...I wasn't saying that I minded the old people who eat at Furr's. I was saying that Furr's has lost its glory and isn't what it once was...as if it were an old lady we would visit who no longer knew what was going on...

Furr's Cafeteria kevinpreston3....You knew Furr's before it came down with Ahlzeimer's?? My childhood friends in TX and I sometimes joke when we would get together and go there, even though it wasn't really any good, anymore. We'd act like we were visiting an old woman w/dementia, and we'd say...
