Kids spent a LOT of time on phones in the fifties.
Corded ones, mostly black, and the only one for the whole family, maybe two or more if you had a party line.

I have not noticed the change you are talking about.
What should I be looking for?

They are very common in vineyard work to get between the rows.  I think they look funny.

"This does not describe a pre-teen brain."
Though it is hard to describe, it is the most important thing in the world.

Thanks for the input. More welcome.
I found a Serta in a local store for that looks and feels pretty nice.
$799 delivered, about the price of 10 Levi's 501's.

OK, after 50+ years of sleeping very well on a waterbed, I have enough -itis's to make it sort of a challenge.
The quality of current mattresses, heaters and thermostats is also a problem.
So yesterday's leak will go unrepaired and I have begun the search for new regularly mattressed appliance.
I will resort temporarily to the $20 used box spring and mattress I bought even longer ago. 
There are nearly too many choices so any absolute Yes's and No's will help me a lot.
Queen size seems best.

The lying oaf committed hundreds of felonies (about 91 chargeable so far) and his sheep train doesn't care.
To finish off his 5th Avenue claim, he could kill himself and not lose any voters.
We can only hope his addled brain fails him altogether in the coming months.

If I tried the new way, I would probably f it up and get everybody pissed off and not know why. 
Sticking with the old one.

I also used to enjoy splitting firewood. It was almost like meditation.
These days I wonder if my current shoulder problems are partly the result.

A hobby I got pretty good at in my early 20's was talking salesmen at upscale car lots to take test drives in the exotic cars of the day. Never had the dough to buy one, of course.
One of the snootiest dealers was Peter Satori in Pasadena who at any time had dozens of beautiful cars.
One day I struck up my spiel to a young salesman who talked of his racing experiences and we went for a ride in a '54 or so Ferrari Coupe, not a top of the line model but red and right hand drive, a MM or Europa perhaps. He was to drive first, then my turn.
Near the Rose Bowl is a great space called Brookside Park and Country Club, with many lightly travelled roads. While tooling along one of them at a pretty good clip, the hood came up and blocked the windshield and the view forward. Young race driver did well in getting off the road, but the hood was kind of bent in the middle over the roof. We got it straightened out, re-latched and back to the showroom, but I never got my turn that day.
