I remember when I could give positive ratings. Been a long time. I must be doing something wrong. So all of you rate positively with these memories even if I can't click it.

Unguentine? I'd totally forgotten that one and it was good. And, yes, it is amazing what we got and survived - stuff and things that are totally forbidden today. A product - I've lost its name - that was taken off the market some 50/60 years ago because officials said it causes cancer. Now it is reappearing in some dandruff shampoos. What is it we put on poison ivy rashes? "Pink lotion"? It never cured my yearly dose. Then, someone said rub scrub soap suds into it. Now that worked!
"Thanks for the memories".
Calamine lotion. I spent most of the summers of my childhood with patches of pink stuff all over my legs. LOL
Thankfully my mother didn't ban me from playing in the woods because of it. Eventually I learned to recognize and avoid poison ivy.
I had a girlfriend whose mother put bleach on her poison ivy.
If nothing else, it probably prevented infection of the scratching site.
I remember shoe horns. Sort of curved things you put between your heel and the heel of your shoe; made it easier to put the shoe on. Well, it was supposed to anyway.

I have one - or a modified one, being smaller. Have to bend over more. As you said "supposed to anyway". Good morning.
I remember dirt roads inside the city limits. I grew up on one and it wasn't paved until long after i had moved away.
Yes! There was a dirt road around the corner from my great aunt's house & it wasn't paved till the late 70s/early 80s. She lived only 4 blocks from downtown.

Damn them. They paved the last one - that I knew of - more than ten years ago. There are only about four houses on that road and the entrance to a nature preserve. The police pretty regularly fine people for speeding on that stretch. A problem was created when it was paved.
According to a woman who lives in Springfield, Illinois, their brick road still exists. We used to drive over from Indiana just for the fun of rumbling over that road. Did you know those bricks was all laid one at a time by prison labor. So we were told, anyway. I hope the laborers were well-paid.
