I had access to HBO Max with my AT&T phone plan.
I guess when I upgraded my phone a couple of months ago that ended.
Crud. There was movie I wanted to watch.

You poor dear... But life is full of successive vicissitudes, I say, sibilantly.

Yes, yes, I know, Terry, when YOU were a kid you had it so tough that you had to watch the telegraph key go up and down for entertainment...

Don't pull rancor on me.

Rancor?
I pine for the simpler days, when ice was delivered daily, when horses were the primary mode of transportation, and when a simple sore throat often meant death from an untreatable infection.
Tells us stories about your good old days, and we'll promise to stay off your lawn!

Rancor?
Yes, Rancor ... Complete with nose ring for pulling.

Old? Yes, I'm old. 85. But where else will you get observations like this in response to someone finding bullet holes all over the place in Hawaii due to the Pearl Harbor attack?

Jes' rememberin'.
And ice wasn't delivered daily.
Edited 13 Feb to clarify that we didn't need a daily delivery, but as is stated later, we only needed ice every two or three days. This largely depended on ambient weather and how often dumb little Terry left the icebox door open.

What, like school, you had to walk, uphill, both ways, to cut your own?

What do you remember about the Confederate attack on Carlisle in 1863? When I was going to college in Carlisle you could still see damage done by Confederate artillery shells on several buildings in town.

Do your research. There was a professional ice delivery industry at the time.

I grew up in Chicago, and there were places you could find bullet holes in buildings. Hell, in certain neighborhoods they're making lots of new ones TODAY.

the reason I hate the 3 Stooges so much is because watching all you jackasses on APS is like watching the All Curly Show All the Time....
Only none of you are nearly as smart as Jerome Horwitz...

We got ice every 3-4 days. More than that, it was me leaving the icebox open. I still remember my Mom hollering for me to close the door. I still did that after we got wun uh them ammonia cycle wuns and didn't get ice delivered any more. She still hollered at me. Our pieces were small enough (20-25 lbs?) that I could carry them in the house in a towel if my brother wasn't around and Mom would break up any remaining ice to make room for the new block and we'd heft the block into the top of the icebox. I just do not remember how the water from the melted ice was handled. I guess I never had to do that, so it escapes me.
Milk was delivered every two days. If more needed, Mom would leave a note for the delivery guy when he picked up our empty bottles. I still remember the frozen milk pushing up the paper caps with the top cream if left out in the cold too long. My job was to put out the old bottles and pick up the new ones. The milk wasn't homogenized, so the cream came up if it was left standing.
Just a little color for the era.

Terry - when I was a kid in southern IL-ANNOY, we had a milk delivery service that brought glass half-gallons from Farm Fresh with paper/foil caps.
Once we moved closer to St. Louis in the mid-60s, we lost that service. :old:
-
These were glass quarts during and after the War... rationing, you know. When I spoke of the cardboard tops of the milk bottles, I was referring to the two cardboard tops for the glass bottles, which got pushed up an inch or two if it froze.
I think Mom had some kind of rationing exceptions for having a little kid (me). I remember you couldn't get butter and I remember having to mix the little packet of coloring into margarine to give it a faux butter look.
I also remember my father having a special gasoline ration since he worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and he'd get the gas ration in the car, and then use his (more economical) motorcycle to actually get to work. So we had gas to drive around for the car. Not sure nowadays of the ethics of that back then, but at the time one did, I guess, what one had to do.

Because of his job (chief mechanical engineer at a critical war plant) my Grandfather had close to an unlimited gasoline ration.
He'd generally walk to work to conserve the gasoline. That way they'd have it for a trip once a month to his parent's place about 40 miles away. My great grandparents had a large working farm, and my Grandparents would stock up on food and would bring it back and spread it out amongst their friends to make rations go longer.
