Remember when?

Anybody remember picking out their afros with metal rakes? It was always a good idea to do it yourself because somebody doing it for you was likely to dig into your scalp.

Oh yeah. I remember that particular founding one and others. They could be like torture devices. LOL! You could always tell when a company manufacturing "Picks" knew nothing about African American hair but just wanted to get in on the action. I remember some thick plastic afro pics with the flat and rounded edges that you couldn't even get through your hair let alone puff it out.

Remember when nobody used plastic trash bags and when you had to empty the can with the paper bag the wet stuff would spill all over the floor?

When I was a kid, back in the late 1940s and early 1950s, we burned most of our own trash in an incinerator in the back yard. The city only picked up big objects [[like construction materials and old furniture.

My Grandparents did that throughout the sixties because they lived in a rural area.
