[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 406235, member: 7966"] OK - I don't remember the Soldiering Irons. All the rest I remember. :happy-very: Ice Box - had not thought about that in many a year. My wife thought it was funny when I would talk about getting something out of the "Ice Box" when we had a refrigerator. Old habits die hard! My parents were blind and I remember going to the ice house and getting a big block of ice in the basket of my bicycle and pedaling it back home. As I remember, those blocks of ice were packed in Solid Carbon Dioxide and the ice would not melt at all by the time I got home (only a couple of miles). Grew up getting things out of the Ice Box which sat out on the back porch. LOL! Good thing about being dirt poor as a kid-you don't realize it and it doesn't bother you...at least not me! :weird: Must admit, it would bother me now. [/QUOTE]
