And thatвЂ™s truly sad.It can be hard to know what's the best tablet to buy a senior, especially if they have not used one before. You can no longer dash down the block at 9:30 in the evening and buy an ice cube with a fly in it because your buddy is about to drop by for a drink or two. Society has lost much over the years вЂ“ some thatвЂ™s good and some thatвЂ™s bad. Just visit our place before it closes, plunk down $2 and вЂ“ presto вЂ“ youвЂ™re set to give a carton of smokes gaily decorated by the tobacco company with wreaths and horse-drawn sleighs. In the 1940s or 1950s, the process was much easier. 24 that youвЂ™ve put off buying a Christmas present for uncle or niece or co-worker likely means ruminating in the self-checkout line about whether Joe or Susie would really welcome a scarf in a plastic bag. Last-minute gifts: Today, realizing late on Dec. Yes, today we have the Internet, but even mighty Amazon with its fleet of drones canвЂ™t offer the speedy gas pain relief of a 1950s neighborhood store after dark.

Patent medicines: In the absence of a late-night pharmacy, we carried pasteboard cards with little packets of pain killer and other medical products, like antacids. Good luck today with a grumpy kiddo who just heard about a new video game console. Just dash out and scour our toy shelves for a 15-cent item.

Search high and low, but where would you get this neat stuff today?Д¬heap toys: Would kids of 2021 be satisfied with little plastic soldiers, balsa wood glider planes and a mini-tea set made of tin? We carried all of that, and plenty more for aspiring generals, pilots and hostesses. Sometimes my father and I would trek down to our Northampton Street wholesalers to bring back an emergency order of plastic вЂњice cubesвЂќ with real flies embedded in them. Besides little tins of cigarette loads, we had packets of itching powder as well as soap that turned your hands black.

Woe betide the youngster who had to say to teacher вЂњI donвЂ™t have anything to write on.вЂќ So, if the little boy or girl announced after dinner, вЂњI need a new tablet,вЂќ mom and dad knew where to go, and it wasnвЂ™t to a gigantic department store three gallons of gasoline away as the SUV flies.
