Well Jeff, I for one appreciated it, and so did Kitty. Brought back a lot of good memories.
Here is my Adult Easy Bake Oven. Put an axle shaft, and wheels on it, and a 15ft cord, so I can cook outside, if needed...LOL

There is a bad moon on the rise.
Those were around for a long time. May still be. And for the record I like women, but I prefer to do my own baking.

Where's the skate key that goes with them? 
I think I bought something similar at a yard sale to make my first skate board

Christmas tree tinsel!!! The horror, the horror!
As a kid I remember my mom insisting the tinsel had a specific method for application:
* Take it out of the box and drape it over the back of a hard-backed wooden chair from the dining room table
* Put it on the tree one strand at a time and make sure it was draped over the needles so it hung straight and without hitting another branch or anything else below it
...and now the worst part:
* After Christmas was over, take the individual strands of tinsel back off of the tree, drape it over the back of the same chair and then put it back in the box to use again next year...and the year after that...and the year after that...
As you can tell, putting tinsel on the tree was not my favorite part of Christmas as a kid.
To this day, we always buy a live tree (no fake ones) because they smell so good but we always get a "full-bodied" tree so there's no room for tinsel!

Yep, I grew up with a set of Encyclopedia Americana that my mom purchased from a salesman when she was pregnant with me. I used those all the way through college for various papers and projects - even though the information in them was over 20 years old by the time I finished school.

Thought I was the only one left that was indoctrinated into this practice. but I quit saving them after lead icicles were banned. Still had 3 or 4 packs until a few years ago.
I had an Easy Bake Oven!
The ones I have now are a little bigger ... and the stuff that comes out of them doesn't smell as good.
Thanks for sharing guys! Cool thread.

At 6 years old, when we first moved into my Gramps house, which Dad had helped build before WWII, we still had a hand crank wall mount phone. Had about 22 people on the "party line." Our number was 19F4, which meant 19th customer , our ring was 4 short rings ("Fast 4") This was about 1954
Exactly like this one

A tractor Dad built. The engine/ pan/ rear is all one piece out of an early road grader. The hood was home built, rad out of a 34--36? Ford, as well as flex cable mechanical brake front axle. Dad used to say "it took the whole back 40" to turn it around
The plow hoist was brutal. Home built cable drums---you can see one on this side. The "hoist" was an old steering box you can make out the second steering wheel lower, on this side

The old "Doodlebug" I don't know when this was taken, perhaps even before I was born. So Gramps, at the back is a lot younger than I am now. I remember this, Dad had built a plow on the front, but it "blew a rod" LOL not long after
Same Doodlebug. "Gramma on the mowin machine" Gramps was born in 1900, lived a few days past 100. Gramma died in her early 50's

Our Farmall "Regular" born about 28. An old photo with my little brother and sister, and the color one, the sad day Mom and I sold it about 2000 or so. We DROVE it onto the trailer
My sister died of brain cancer in her early '50's and little brother and another kid were "hot roddin" and both died in a one car crash. He was 18
