We did indeed call our Culligan man!! Lubbock, Texas has very hard water and my mother wasn’t having that! I always had kind of a love-hate relationship with our water softener. It made the water softer, but it took forever to rinse the soap off in the shower.

Wifey had the same beef with ours when we were using it. I kept telling her it wasn't the soap that felt slick. It's just the way soft water feels. But our water supplier seems to have improved things on their end because we no longer need the softener. It's fine as it is now without the softener. So now the system is by-passed and just sitting there.

^ Wally's buddy, Eddie Haskell (as mentioned above) from Leave It To Beaver.

How about naming this guy and his hit TV show that ran from 1955 to 1959. I watched it later in the 60s when it was in re-runs.

See if you can do it without looking it up

Only time I ever felt soft water like that is when I was a kid and we went to visit our relatives in Illinois. It took a long time to rinse the soap off in the shower, like you said.

First row - Possibly a Buick Regal and Ford Thunderbird.
Second row - Chevy Caprice, don't know Cadillac and or possibly Pontiac model names.
Last row - Ford LTD, possibly a Chrysler Cardoba and an AMC Paacer Wagon?

They were not cars on my wish list.

My wife and I hid Easter eggs for the grand kids this week during or ski trip since we won't be seeing them on Easter Sunday. We hid them around the house but not outside (too much snow). I thought for sure we would remember where we put them. We counted to make sure the grand kids found them all. We were two short. Neither my wife nor I could find the missing eggs. We had literally just hid them 30 minutes earlier.

We eventually found them but the reality is our short term memory is affected by age. However, I can still remember my teachers' names in grade school.

My short term memory can't realistically be called "memory." I'll walk into a room and think, "I need to do [fill in the blank] before I leave this room," and then walk out of the room 2 minutes later without having done it.

When I was in the Navy we had a guy try to sneak a Hawaiian pineapple back into San Diego. He stuffed it in the back of one of the cabinets and forgot about it. After a month or so there was a foul odor coming from that part of the space. After a few days the pineapple, or what was left of it, was discouvered. It had pretty much turned into pineapple juice and he had to clean up the mess. Fortunately, nothing of any importance was damaged.
