Another Fan Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) I was driving yesterday and saw a nice Pontiac Grand Am on the road. If I had the time and money a car like that I wouldn’t mind owning to have and work on as it’s practically a collectors item already. I have a Hess truck from the early 90s my grandfather bought me as a XMas gift. Edited August 11, 2019 by Another Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 A few years ago, my parents gave me an old ice box from the early 1900s (Steinfeld - Jewel). They had one and I loved it. They found one whilst out on one of their weekly excursions and my dad refinished it and surprised me with it. For giggles, I actually bought a block of ice and threw some beer in there for a party. Worked like a charm! Looks a lot like this one ... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more curious about the block of ice than the ice box, though the ice box is cool...pun intended. Where did you buy the block of ice? How much did it cost? How did you get it around? My dad used to tell me stories of being a little boy and the ice man coming around with a truck filled with ice blocks. He said the guy had huge arms, and would pick up the block of ice with ice tongs and bring it into your house and put it in the ice box for you. He came every day or every few days (can't remember) and that's how you got ice for your ice box. 39 minutes ago, /dev/null said: US Rifle, Caliber. 30, M1 Garand KA-CHING! "I'm out!"

They come in a bag, just like getting a bag of cubes. https://assistive.hannaford.com/product/Creed-Ice-Block/712210.uts?refineByCategoryId=48585 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyal2dagame Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Pepsi Lime. Not diet Pepsi Lime which is still made. Those Pepsi Limes were great for cooking beer can chicken in a smoker low and slow. It'd give you the sweetness of the sugar and the hint of lime into the meat which went with the smokey flavor perfectly. And they were good for drinking too.

WhoTom Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Goose Island Honker's Ale and Sam Adams Boston Ale. Apparently, Boston Ale is brewed in limited editions, but only sold near Boston. Honker's is only available at the Goose Island brewpub in Chicago. Both are nicely balanced ales - not too malty and not too bitter. Medium bodied - drinkable all year long. With the IPA craze going on these days, it's hard to find a good, balanced beer that's not overly hopped or laced with exotic fruits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I miss those Old Vienna splits! Couldn’t find them anywhere the last few trips up. Other than that, my Yonex AI 98 tennis racquet is only available on EBay now, I think. I’m good for now (and probably until my expiration date) since I bought extra grommets and bumpers for each of them. The frame generally only goes bad if you behave badly, like Serena Williams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, those old green stamps do have value. ... There were other stamp operations, but S&H stamps were the most widely used. The company started selling the stampsto merchants in 1896. The idea was that they helped build customer loyalty.Jun 18, 2015 https://www.azcentral.com/story/claythompson/2015/06/18/stamps-groceries-store-green-redeem-collect/28933763/ CAREFUL the pop up has LOUD volume https://www.wikihow.com/Redeem-S%26H-Green-Stamps Today, S&H offers "greenpoints" as rewards for purchases made on the Internet. However, if you still hold some Green Stamps, they do not expire and you can redeem them for greenpoints or cash. Who knew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 About 20 years ago the PBS station in Buffalo made a show titled "Things that aren't there anymore." It was a great program. As I recall it was a give away on one of their panhandling drives. A few years later, found one on Ebay. It's old VHS, just have not upgraded the format yet. Maybe 20+ years layer, it would be time for a re-do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
