Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

I got to see a lot of Germany through the windows of a 4 door Edsel. We brought it back from Germany and it made it from NYC to Birmingham AL, then a couple years later made it to Enterprise AL where it ran for about a year before it started acting up. After several attempts to fix it himself, my dad took it to a local mechanic and got it running, but that only lasted about a month before it became balky again. My dad finally paid a guy $10.00 to haul it away. About six months later some guy showed up looking for it. He tracked it down through DMV records and told my dad he was prepared to offer him 2K for it. Pop gave him the name of the guy who hauled it off and that was the end of our Edsel story.
Ohhh "V" is for Vitamins.
I see now.
1mg of iron or one thousandth of a gram.
Completely fixes the 32 grams of sugar.
Technically 1mg of Ferrous Sulfate which sounds like Ferrous Sulfate not iron.
Aka chemical used for waste water treatment.
Mhhhmm get yah some of that yummy yummy.

The television thingies, or the fact that the men aren’t dressed like slobs?
I'm guessing the number of men who put on a wool suit to ride a Greyhound bus cross-country, in 2024, is pretty much exactly zero.
In some parts of the country they are still feasible. From New Jersey into New York city is pretty convenient. Not having to deal with parking on NYC is a Good Thing. And the busses are comfortable.I know they still have stations and run buses, but the only place I have seen Greyhound even mentioned on TV in the last 20 years is in the context of occasional crime reports on the news.
No one under 40 knows what that is. Heck, maybe no one under 50.
I'm 43 and I know I've seen them, but I can't recall what it is.
TBH, I might have just used them as a kid like ninja stars and thrown them at things/people?
It's bizarre. I feel like I ought to know what it is but I can't think of it.
May hafta bump that up to 60ish. (I'm 79-knew it right away.)

Based on that:
A: I'm not sure these are the things I was launching at people.
B: Looks like a spindle adapter maybe? Did they have different size spindles for different records/brands?
No, they were (are) all the same size since the spindle on turntables are all the same size.
We had this adapter for our turntable back in the day so that the individual 45 adapters weren't needed:
I think the idea with that style of adapter was to buy a bunch so you could leave them permanently installed for convenience.
As a child I believe I used a record player with a pop up 45 adapter. The turn tables I used from my teens into early adulthood had either a plastic or metal adapter that you placed on top of the platter when/if you wanted to play 45s; something like this.
This was slightly less convenient and they are easy to loose, but I rarely played 45s so not an issue for me.
I am guessing you mean a toy like this.
My brothers and cousins used to shoot each other with BB guns
.Yeah those were the days.

That seems more familiar!
