Her amazing cats and her shackle earrings make me want to buy that mattress.

Had to break out the old Super Sawzall from storage for a project. Good to know that we both still work. Haven’t used that in 15? years.
Just to cut some board to fit the A/C vent properly into the window.

I would say that’s the 70s starter pack, from the colours; avocado green, harvest gold, and the crocheted throw.

I think it works for Grandma’s in the 80s. Gives a real vibe of how she hasn’t changed a thing since the 70s

I have four of these items in my house right now.

Same - after de-cluttering and donating the other five. Where’s the line between “sparks joy” and Swedish death cleaning? Asking for a friend…

The enameled chicken roaster is one of my kitchen mainstays.

Also a great choice for baking bread boules as if you had a fancy cast iron dutch oven. (Heats up much quicker, too.)

Also, me too…

I used to lie on the floor while watching tv with my parents, because the smoke wasn’t as thick down there.

I always hated smelling like cigarettes all the time… 
It sucked. it was great when I moved out and didn’t have to be around it all the time (sometimes still at work or at parties, etc, but not at home). Luckily, this was around the time that places started to ban smoking inside in many places.

I’ve never known a heroin addict, but it’s tough to imagine a harder addiction to kick. My parwnts choose restaurants on the basis of whether they had a smoking section. When my dad passed (mom having gone a decade earlier), we washed dripping dark brown stains off every wall.

I also have 4 of them!
My afghan was made by my mom, similar colors but different pattern (although I used to have one with that same pattern).
Tupperware - those are the colors I grew up with, but the set I have now is the older pastel colors instead. Growing up, my Grandma did not like restaurants, (bit of a picky eater and also used to work in one). So we’d pull over to a rest stop, wash our hands in the yellow tupperware full of soapy water, then get crackers and cheese and grapes and veggies and cookies from the orange one.
Cooking pot - got one of those. Rarely use it, but it’s nice.
Schrodinger’s cookies/sewing kit - got one of those on my snack shelf. I used to have a bad habit of keeping the empties, because they’re really nice tins, useful for a lot, but since the last time I moved (and had to throw so much out) and live in a smaller space now, I’ve gotten much better about not keeping things ‘because I’ll find a use for it’.
The TV - looks like the one I had in my first apartment (got it really cheap from someone who didn’t want to pay to have it hauled away). But that was long long ago.
The candies - I really liked those when I was a kid. Haven’t had them in ages though.
The toilet paper doll - those things always weirded me out a bit. They were usually sitting next to a dish of molded soaps you weren’t supposed to use, placed next to the decorative towels you weren’t supposed to use.

How does that work? Surely it’s unpossible?!
