The geezer club for sure:
I was amused by item 10 wherein you used a TV Guide back then. We didn't. We didn't need one - only got one channel, which was WCNY, channel 7 out of Watertown, NY. And we didn't get our first TV until I was 12.
I fondly remember Circle 7 Ranch, which was a local cowboy type introduding the cowboy movies, followed by the Howdy Doody Hour. And yes, The Shadow was my favorite radio show. How about the wringer washing machine? At least three of my siblings got their hand/arm caught in that sucker. And hanging clothes on the clothesline and then jacking it up with a long pole. Or my mother taking a week's worth of dirty cloth diapers and wringing the shit out of them on her hands and knees in front of the only toilet in the house. Oh my god, the smell. If the bathroom was busy, you went outside and found a bush.
For heat, we had a coal furnace with one large register. It would get so hot in the winter that we'd open the windows in the upstairs bedrooms and often wake up to a foot of snow inside the bedroom. There were flies everywhere (12 siblings in my family) so no keeping them out; with those hanging fly catchers in every room. We got 25 cents allowance - you could either go to the movie for 20 cents with 5 cents for popcorn, or, to the store and with that quarter buy a soft drink, comic book, candy bar and a shitload of Bazooka bubble gum. The good ole days indeed...
