Does anyone else remember a program the banks offered, I believed they were simply called "Christmas Club" where you'd deposit a set amount of money each week and then around the first of December they'd send you a check? Maybe they still have something like that?

My company offers a Christmas savings like this but we don't get any interest on it. They cut us a check the Friday before Thanksgiving.
My credit union will deduct a set amount from checking into savings each week or whatever, but they don't send you a check

Absolutely I remember.

I would do it every year putting a little away each time so my girls would get some presents from Santa.

I also remember when you would get a toaster with new accounts, when they did not charge you for checking accounts and most of all: I rember when I would get 3-5% interest on savings accounts.

Oh yeah, free checks, too.

Ha!

Does anyone remember back in the 70's when they used to put dish rags and hand towels in powdered laundry soap?

YES, I do and I always thought that was such a rip off! You might of gotten a free towel BUT it took up so much room that you got less soap!

Does anyone else remember grocery stores having home delivery?

I mean of course you still had to go to the store in person, shop for them, pay for them, etc etc but still it was nice if you had other errands to run. Oh and of course we left the door unlocked so they could just walk and leave them on the kitchen counter.

Does anyone else remember a kids TV show, prolly had to be in the mid 60's, about a monkey named either Chadder or Chatter? The theme song was.....


Chadder doesn't know that he's a pest...
Chadder's only trying to do his best....
BUT CHADDER WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU

Poor Chadder it was one catastrophe after another with him!

Maybe it's because I am in Canada, but I don't remember any of this... at least anything on this page...
I'm not that young, but I do not recall anything from the 70's... having been born in the middle of that decade...

I DO recall, milk and orange juice being delivered to my house... put in between the storm door and the screen door...

How do you define courage? Is it the absence of fear? You might think, under the weight of your fears, "I am not courageous." But maybe you have the wrong perspective. Courage can be measured in many ways, and is not the absence or denial of fear, but the willingness to act vulnerably. When you're faced with the unknown and then you stand on the edge of risk, courage brings you to the point where you are able to take flight, though you might be unsure of your wings.

Actually they do home delivery now, at least here in Southern CA.

After I got out of the hospital, I used it all the time.

Amazon Prime (the $99 per year one not the Amazon Fresh for $299 a year) delivers food from several different grocery stores for no extra charge. A couple charge the same prices as in-store.

I still do it when I am too lazy to go to the store or if I am sick.
