Which of course always makes me wonder what determined the kind of washer and dryer different people bought? Always interesting, particularly when there were so many different kinds to choose from back in the day.... |

Wandered the neighborhood for some one-- or some thing-- doing laundry. Laundry tended toward garages. If the lady was there I'd ask if I could watch. Some passed out cookies. Like Washoween.
If not I just did. Don't recall anyone running me off. Not that a precocious 4yo represented the threat in 1950 they do today. Nor did adults. Now there's a whopping cultural shift in an unfortunate direction. |

Me, it was peeking in kitchens, laundry rooms, under sink counters and even in closets!
My ex-girlfriend and I were at a friend's house that in the '90's had an '80's all-GE kitchen, that after dark when the lights were turned off in it, I opened that top-freezer, then refrigerator door, to get some light to see what time it is (and the light was down in the latter) --when the microwave had a LIGHT-UP DIGITAL CLOCK! Boy, was I soooo ANNOYING back then...! -- Dave |

Whenever my parents would take me to their friend's homes, I would also try to find out what kind of vacuum cleaner they owned. I remember one time my mom and her friend were having coffee in the kitchen and I went wandering. I found her Rainbow D in the hallway. I undid one of the latches holding the water pan but I couldn't figure out how to lock it back in place. The next day the lady called my mom wondering if I had played with her vacuum because when she lifted it up the water pan fell off spilling water everywhere LOL

Never got around neighbors machines much. My cousin next door though had a pair of 1956 Westinghouse front loaders. Remember many times watching the wash action through the window. Other than that it was our own 66 GE Filter Flo.
superocd-Got a question. If you were born in 1994 (as per your profile) how were you in third grade in 1997? |
