We had one that was a piece of furniture. It had B & W TV Radio and a record player and a big speaker. We got 3 channals on UHF and later a 4th channel on VHF. The antenna was on the roof.

We got much more exercise with those older TV's. Now, with cable, and remotes, not so much.

Yes, we sure did...not only getting up to change the channel, but going outside to repoint the antenna. We received 2 1/2 channels. CBUT out of Vancouver BC, KVOS out of Bellingham Wash., and KCTS (sometimes) out of Tacoma Wash. then we needed another antenna to sometimes get KOMO and KING out of Seattle, Wash. this was back in the ‘50’s.

The Life class is taught by the family. It has nothing to do with the schools. Back in the 40s and 50s it was taught by parents, uncles, aunts, and older cousins. It also included courses on fishing, hunting, and trapping. Gardening was part of it too. In the shop classes at school, I learned to use power tools, welding, cutting, and woodworking. All that was passed along to my son, by me, his grandparents, his uncles and aunt.

I taught all my kids how to change oil and a tire, even the girls, before they could go get their driver's license.

I Wonder.....
Who makes up all those nonsense names for drugs advertised on TV? They all seem to be a conglomerate of letters that make no sense. And, then they pronounce the name that usually doesn't sound anything like the spelling...... (At least the way I was taught 70+ years ago)

And the ads end with a legal disclaimer listing all the possible side effects finishing with “and this may kill you…”

You are right on the money when discussing side effects. IMO, most of the time, I would rather have the illness than the side effects of the cure.

People, particularly women, have been complaining how Alexa listens to all their conversations, so Amazon has come out with a male version.
It's called Alex and it doesn't listen at all!
