When I was a kid, 30 - 35 years ago, my credit union then only used names for accounts.

We also had party lines for the phone, where 3-4 homes would share a line and you had to wait for them to finish their talk, before you could call your friends.

I've done some interesting things with steaming cow pies.

WOW, this tread is bringing back memories. Party lines, ice trucks, cow pies and of course Al Capone. That was when I started collecting coins too.

On the farm where I grew up I can remember the milk man walking right into the house unannounced and putting the milk in the refridgerator. Stuff like this was perfectly normal.

Where my wife came from when you walked in the main street you would notice the keys sticking out of all the car trunks. Found out that is so they don't get water in them and freeze.
Where I live now you can't leave anything outside overnight or it's gone. AHHHHHH, the good old days.
Your making me reminis. Now I am remembering when those Roosevelt dimes first came out and how mad we kids all were.
