What was the going rate (per hour) when you used to babysit?
Did you have a changing table when your kids were babies?
Who still uses an old-fashioned top-loading washing machine?
How many here still iron/press clothing (aside from fabric when quilting/sewing)?

Thanks Endora! I was getting ready to post more questions this afternoon but you beat me to it
Have you ever sewed before using an old-fashioned treadle sewing machine? Yes, my first quilts were made on a treadle.
You still have crocheted flower pot baskets/holders from the 70's hanging in your home? No
What was the going rate (per hour) when you used to babysit? Never got to babysit for pay. I had 5 younger siblings so I was the free babysittter.
Did you have a changing table when your kids were babies? No
Who still uses an old-fashioned top-loading washing machine? I do. It's over sized and as I've gotten older I'm worried I'll fall in and get stuck there til DH gets home.
How many here still iron/press clothing (aside from fabric when quilting/sewing)? Never. DH will occasionally press a dress shirt if he has to go to the funeral home.

What was the going rate (per hour) when you used to babysit? $0.25 / hour
Did you have a changing table when your kids were babies? No
Who still uses an old-fashioned top-loading washing machine? I guess so - I consider a wringer-washer to be "old-fashioned. A hang-crank wringer even older-fashioned.

LOL, Marge!
I kept checking and checking for a new one from you, but nothing, so today I thought, maybe I'll start one just to give Marge, a break.
Just realized I forgot to answer my own questions. ROFL!
Have you ever sewed before using an old-fashioned treadle sewing machine? Yes, many times, even from the time I was a young girl.
You still have crocheted flower pot baskets/holders from the 70's hanging in your home? Nooo, LOL!
What was the going rate (per hour) when you used to babysit? .25 and .50 cents an hour (for many years)! Like yourself, Marge, I too, was the built-in family babysitter when my siblings were little, outside of babysitting for neighbours outside the home.
Did you have a changing table when your kids were babies? No, I changed my kids in their cribs most of the time.
Who still uses an old-fashioned top-loading washing machine? I did up until about 8 years ago, but splurged on a modern front-loading set. Still miss my old top-loader...
How many here still iron/press clothing (aside from fabric when quilting/sewing)? Regularly! Like I'm ironing today!

I will iron some line-dried clothes - mostly pants/shorts of DH.
