God, that is so true, I remember those times very well. My mother was the same way, my father is also. I guess that is why it is hard for me to throw away things that can be fixed, that and lack of money now, it seems like second nature. It is amazing the things that people throw away. I alwaysed loved going to the land fill when I was a kid, all the neat stuff that people threw away that was perfectly fine or could be fixed easily. They won't let you take stuff out of the land fill anymore, it's a shame.

Cobalt---At my hometown,in Conn.,the dump(Landfill)is so large&
there were so many trashpickers,that they issued trash picking
permits&made it alphabetical,on what days you could go there!
There were that many people!As they say:One persons trash,is
anothers treasure!People would make many pickup truck trips on
their days. Irish

I beleive in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I beleive in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. Kevin Costner/Bull Duram

"Your body as well as mine has needs. This is juat a little foreplay to highten our desire for each other. If we play out the game of love to it's natural conclusion, you'll experience fulfillment. Give yourself up to me and I'll guide you along the path to pareadise. Together we will be like fire and ice, love and hate, life and death." Virginia Henley

WANTED: a moment when you kiss someone and eveything around you becomes hazy. And the only thing in focus is you and this person and you relize that he is the only person your suppose to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this amazing gift. You want to laugh and you want to cry. Cause you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared it will all go away at the same time.

Sounds like my family when I was growing up.
I still retain some of those habits till this day.
