Remember how the milk ALWAYS tasted better out of the glass bottle?

If you live in Denver, you can still get this service. I'm sure other places also have it. You should check.

Sounds like Mark R. Sullivan was a time traveler.

And we put the empty bottles back on the porch for the dairy guy to pick up.

I think my mom did that, I don't remember doing any returning of empty milk bottle.

My mother grew up in the 40s. If she went out -- anywhere -- she wore stockings, gloves, a hat, a dress, and heels.

I noticed that in the senior people, they are very well dressed, and polite. Looking at them so properly and nicely dress and so gentle in manner make me feel all is well, everything is in order.
Not many people wear stocking these days. We got all casual? Just a little over 100 years ago people were wearing layers & layers of clothes. Sometime when I watch a period movie and thought how on earth do they breath?

Absolutely…..and, all we knew at that time, silly us, was that we were thirsty. We apparently weren’t smart enough to know we needed hydration.

When the body is dehydrated, it sends a signal to make us thirty and so we drink water, so we were just doing the smart thing by listening to our body.

And Agent 99

We still say Good Work 99 whenever one of us doing the smarty thing.

Being of Italian descent my dad didn't go anywhere to include checking the mail without being dressed. Always at least dress pants, belt, dress shirt and shoes and combed hair. The amount of jewelry was dependent on where he was going and I don't think he owned jeans or any other t shirt other than under shirts. I like dressing up but don't really go many places to warrant it. My daily is just under shirt and hair gel. Everything else is just whatever

I usually use a polo shirt and pants. Shoes optional if at home.

That is just the normal things with the older generation, be respectful, proper, orderly. We are more casual now, sometimes too casual.
I am particular with my shoes, proper shoes that cover the feet, and I do try to be more properly/formally dress when I leave the house. At home, I think my chickens dress better than me.
My mom and grandma take forever to get ready whenever we go shopping. Especially my grandma, her hair was very thin and she insisted to go to the hairdresser. I say I can do it, she replied NO.
It is really nice to see older people still dress up properly, they make life seem not so chaotic.
