My car keys, most of the pocket knives I've ever owned, my glasses... the list goes on.
Although it only operates in Canada, the War Amps lost key service is a brilliant idea. They produce a small plastic key tag, that attaches to your key ring. If you loose it, the finder can drop it in ANY mailbox in the World, and the War Amps service will get them at their Toronto location, look up your home address in their files, and have the keys delivered to you by direct courier that day. Yes, you pay a fee for the service ( less than the cost of replacing the keys, per year). The War Amps is a private not for profit Canadian charity that provides artificial limbs for military amputees, and child amputees, with NO Government funding, at all. The Child Amp Program will get $10,000.00 from my estate when I die. I donate $300 a year to them now. JimB.
Thank heavens these aren’t around any more.
In the 60's my aunt Betty used to go to the Locarno Ballroom every weekend with her friends... she was my fathers' youngest sister only 10 years older than me, and I can see her now with her bouffant hair style.. her tight skirt, and her white stiletto heels..
I just use a small sharp knife, to cut and slice berries. JimB.
Fabulous reminisces Holly, how I remember the bouncers at The Locarno, always impeccably dressed in black suit and bow tie. They never took prisoners, any fisticuffs and you were out.In the 60's my aunt Betty used to go to the Locarno Ballroom every weekend with her friends... she was my fathers' youngest sister only 10 years older than me, and I can see her now with her bouffant hair style.. her tight skirt, and her white stiletto heels..
My father was a Bus conductor before he became a Bus driver... at one point he was also a Bouncer at the Locarno Ballroom
You can just barely see my father on the back of his bus..he was the driver at this time.. but for some reason was standing on the back..Perhaps waiting for his conductor.. this bus was parked outside what was the Bus depot at that time
Burtons only closed their stores in 2021, so everyone remembers those... and I remember the ads on TV for John Collier shirts.. to this day....
The one in the middle of the second row is the one I have in my bedroom... I have all of the others, as well as some older ones.. ( black bakelite with drawers)... and some GPO 746's in white and red..
Oh lord, those! Hung on the kitchen wall, always tangled.
I loved Marlie's, played in the dirt.
Lol!
I wore out the knees on my blue jeans as a kid. My mom would iron on those knee patches they used to have for blue jeans. She would put them on the inside and outside. I would wear them out also. Our playground was dirt and gravel, perfect for marbles, not so much for jeans...
