I just brought a brand new stylophone a couple of weeks ago.

I'm still trying to figure out why.

Burnt myself really bad when I was a kid on that!! Then tried to fix my burn with butter. I was a dumb kid, lol.

You don't see GAK anymore. That stuff was awesome.

I have one too. I've actually used it in writing a couple of songs. Really fun lil thingamajigs.

Many pharmacies use them here for sending prescription drugs from the storage to the counter and in some supermarkets they use those to send change etc. to the counters.

...in some supermarkets they use those to send change etc. to the counters.

Our Costco uses them this way also...sending cash between the cash office and the registers. It's supposed to be more secure.

Proper DJ gear. Ok OK you still see them sometimes, (as at my place seen above) but you gotta look.

I'm so old I have a vague memory of the ice truck. We had an ice box before we had a fridge.

When I was a kid we had a milk box on the front porch and the milk would be delivered in big glass bottles....
