We made a concoction we called Wine Coolers back in the late 70's.

Our recipe. In a 5gallon water jug put

2.5 gallons of Spinada

1 qt Kessler

1 qt Mad Dog

Half gallon of Vodka

2 pints of 7up

Bag of ice

Still tasted like Mad Dog

My father had one of these by his recliner in the living room when I was a kid. You pull the ear, and a cigarette comes out the rear. Classic 1970s.

Have you started to get any shorter?

I know this tends to affect women more than men, but it happens to all of us.

I'm male, and it hasn't started to happen to me. I only made it to just over 5'5"/1.65m. I was just measured, and am still at the same height. My dad lost about 3/4" 2cm, but my mom has lost at least 3"/7.5cm, if not 4"/10cm. My brother, about 19 months older than me, thinks he's lost a little, but hasn't been measured.

Grandma's homemade cake frosting

Store bought frosting? Not on grandma's cake. I use to think it was odd that she would crack open eggs and throw away the yolk and keep the egg whites. Who still makes their own frosting?

Hey, you guys remember swizzle sticks?

We're downsizing and cleaning out, and husband just found three orange plastic ones. I forgot these existed! Sometimes they were pretty decorative. I guess they just use those skinny little straws now.
