    Had a light bulb by my front door that lasted 23 years for me, it came with the house so have no idea how old it really was.
    My elderly neighbor lived alone, no TV,phone, hydro or gas, heated his house with a wood stove since the 1950's.
    He liked his privacy but left his bathroom light on so I knew he was alive. One night his light never came on, did a welfare check and he was gone.
    The night after he passed I turned my light on to go to his favorite place, Safeway 😂 and it blew in a huge double flash. I guess it was his way of saying thanks for the 23 year friendship, and he made his final destination.

    Old things simply last longer than they do now. My boyfriends parents air conditioning unit which was installed in the late 70’s just broke for the first time 2-3 years go. Meanwhile my parents air conditioning unit in their last house which was built in 2005 broke every single summer... once their air conditioning broke twice in 1 year and broke 2 weeks before they moved out of their house. SMH.
    The same applies to cars, silverware/fine china, clocks and clothes.

      Yeah, old stuff is so much higher quality it’s crazy. I was very fortunate and inherited my great grandparents furniture, some of it.
      I have a tea set that’s from Japan which my great grandfather got when he took a trip there. My great grandfather was a pretty interesting person, he loved to travel and was a doctor.
      I love traveling too and find Japanese culture interesting. My parents knew I loved the tea set and when I moved out last year (yes, during the pandemic-bought my first house, which was an adventure) they gave me the tea set.
      I love it. It’s also decorated in silver which I prefer over gold. With scenery of mountains. I display it proudly in my dining cabinet.
      My house is a 1950s one and still has original tile in the bathroom and in the kitchen.
      It’s funny because some people love it and others suggest updating. I’m going to keep it. I like the classic feel. The 1950s had a nice style. Solid wood and tile with color. My old furniture fits that style too.
      I think it’s growing on my family because they always say my house looks great.
      The materials last forever so why change.

      They HAD to take it apart. Definitely every seam of it. Then CAREFULLY clean the silken pattern pieces, the lace and take out all old inlets like linings, tulle, cotton or wool linings.
      Then one can begin to restore the broken parts of the silk and lace, put in new stiffening lining if required, sew the pieces CAREFULLY together again and then tell the bride:
      BE CAREFUL!😂

    I think it’s really cool that Abbey wore the same weeding dresses as so many other women in her family. Most of us would see our moms wedding dresses and say heck min it happening, but she took pride in wearing the dress which was really cool.

    That “machine” they put the ancient grain in to “pasteurize” it is an autoclave. It’s the exact same “machine” used in medical/dental offices to sterilize instruments.
