We still get the Chicago Tribune and enjoy it. This change reflects our drop in attention span. TV antennas - yes they could go but when we dropped cable TV (people could save $$ dropping this less than ideal service) we bought a new powered antenna to get better reception of the digital TV that is now broadcasted everywhere in the US. thankslislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-86055024651856200592014-01-22T14:48:28.613-06:002014-01-22T14:48:28.613-06:00Newspapers, not digital, are failing fast all over...Newspapers, not digital, are failing fast all over the US.

That never occured to me. You probably will find all this stuff somewhere for a long time but I eliminated museums and my basement from consideration.

I have no idea since my wine drinking typically consist of wine types that have French names like merlot or cabernet. Also, I prefer beer most of the time. I think sweet drinks (I enjoy a few) should just use hard liquor such as gin, whisky and rum. This is making me thirsty. thankslislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-16730581630727823552014-01-18T11:26:31.681-06:002014-01-18T11:26:31.681-06:00Wine coolers would probably not make a list after ...Wine coolers would probably not make a list after 1990 or so.Bijouxhttp://Www.musingsfromtheburbs.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-54202353478906429442014-01-18T10:41:11.748-06:002014-01-18T10:41:11.748-06:00I actually a quite a proficient list maker.

The older I get the more lists I have to make to keep me on track. <br /><br />As for your list of things that will not make the "best" list. <br /><br />Pay phones are all over Europe. Some of them are the cute red ones but a lot are just standard issue like the ones that used to be at U.S. 7-11 stores.<br /><br />What? Shoe polish is on the down slide? <br /><br />I would suspect there is a market in the whip business that is still popular but not necessarily for "buggies".Cheryl P.http://artofbeingconflicted.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-81556880541013348382014-01-17T13:58:33.186-06:002014-01-17T13:58:33.186-06:00thanks for sharing the 'Trouble' story.

I thought boomboxes were just updated. Now they need to accept an MP3 type player. I've picked up old boomboxes and CD players for the parts (motors etc.). thankslislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-21526138012513137672014-01-17T13:04:51.932-06:002014-01-17T13:04:51.932-06:00I discovered that shoe polish is a hard to find it...I discovered that shoe polish is a hard to find item, recently, when my hubby decided to polish his leather boots! I suppose it's not in high demand, these days, just as you said.<br /><br /><br />How about 'bag phones' for a vehicle? I'm pretty sure those are obsolete, too. Boom boxes are another hard to find item, as I recently discovered when mine died. <br /><br /><br />In response to your question about 'Trouble', the cat. She's an outside cat, so she stays outside in the yard. A while back, she left and stayed at our son's house, (who lives very nearby) for a while, but eventually went back to my MIL's house to stay. We live close by, as well, but she chooses to stay at the empty house because she doesn't like other cats. Trouble actually belongs to me, but she left our home years ago, to live at my MIL's house after I adopted some kittens! Trouble's a bit ornery, and set in her ways, and always has been. I guess she'll be a package deal with the house, if we sell it. I've already written several posts about our adventures with her :)Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-76237887530096224992014-01-17T08:23:16.231-06:002014-01-17T08:23:16.231-06:00Ok you are the second one to question my shoe poli...Ok you are the second one to question my shoe polish selection. It is certainly still around today but I'm thinking less and less people bother to shine their shoes and many shoes are not the type that can be shined. Hard for me to say but could I be wrong?<br />thankslislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-88773272894749873932014-01-17T08:02:29.485-06:002014-01-17T08:02:29.485-06:00Shoe polish has become obsolete?

If you still polish your shoes I suspect you are in a minority. I'm not positive but I think our throw away society has pretty much killed the idea of shoe polish. I'm not saying it will stop being made but I don't think there will be much demand. I could be wrong. thankslislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-61453208193989663062014-01-15T22:41:34.030-06:002014-01-15T22:41:34.030-06:00Yes those 8 tracks tape were a bad design.
