Yes I have one awesome

But, even back in the middle 50s, Stanley was making there stainless steel thermos in Nashville Tennessee. I have mine from 1997, with a leather ground case that it slides in. And the top of it has a zipper that unzips so that the top of the thermos is open. You can open and pour coffee out of it and the rest of the thermos stays down inside the leather sleeve. eBay right now has several thermos from the 80s & 90s up to about 2003. The Stanley thermos that you get today is absolutely nothing like the ones that was made here in America. To prove my point I’ve had many people over the years pick up my thermos then they pick up their thermos and their other hand. So they are holding both. And right off the bat every one of them always says something like this. “MYYYYYYY GOD. Your thermos is so much heavier than mine. The difference in the weight is absolutely unbelievable!!” And that, Is the reason the ones that was made here was so much better, because they keep your coffee so much hotter, for so much longer. Below is a small part from the historical timeline of the company. “In 2002, Stanley was purchased by Seattle, WA based Pacific Market International (PMI). Stanley's manufacturing facilities were then moved to China.” And that is when they screwed up!!! To give you an idea of what I’m talking about, type this in, in the search-bar on EBay. You will see the leather case with a “Stanley by Aladdin.” when you look on the bottom of these thermos, you will see these words of the ones that were still manufactured in Nashville Tennessee. Remember, it was bought out in 2002 and was moved over-seas. “Stanley, by Aladdin. “In 1965, Aladdin acquired the Universal Stanley Division of the J. B. Williams Company, which made the Stanley thermos bottle in Nashville, Tennessee. All of Stanley's operations were moved to Nashville and by 1966 the first Aladdin Stanley bottles were shipped. Here is where they screwed up. “One of Stanley’s key innovations was Char-Vac™, where charcoal dust was packed between two stainless steel walls while the vacuum insulation was created. This method made the bottles tougher and more resilient, albeit heavier and bulkier. Stanleys from the time of Char-Vac™ were much coveted and are still in use to this day, with some Stanley fanatics still obsessed with the decades old bottles they bought as teenagers. Stanley discontinued use of Char-Vac™ in 2009, opting instead to thicken the outer steel wall. This resulted in a bottle that was significantly lighter weight and built to the same industry- leading specs.” Doing away with the “Char-Vac” system ruined them. It did.

Please let me know. )

I had one of these.

Fragile glass insert is right. I know the inserts of those old thermoses shattered when they fell from the roof of a suburban.

Ha! That's what we had!

Mmmmmmm!!! SOUNDS GOOD!!!

Oops, I posted this comment accidently in the main comment area but it was intended to be a response to your post so I'll pasted it below and try to delete the one in the main comments. NO FAIR!!! Posting comments about your fabulous dinners where they can be seen before we can even view the video! Hahaha 🤣👍 1st thing I did as soon as I got in to watch Nance's latest video release was to HIT the like button! 2nd thing I did, because your comment was visible while I hit the like button so I had to come here because I couldn't resist telling you how good that dinner sounds right now!!!! But, before I could even type my comment I read Nance's reply saying they ate same thing!!!! Now I'm really jealous!!! I just sat down to watch this before cooking dinner as I'm starving! My wife offered to cook something to eat but I didn't want to trouble her with fixing something just for me, (we have to eat different things mostly due to a medical condition I have), so now before I can even hit play, which had been reduced to 3rd on my list due to all the above, I'm going to need to warm up my most caring and considerate "loving husband" voice to tell her "honey, do you remember asking me if you'd like me to cook dinner for you, and I told you thanks but no? You don't have to do that just for me, (her shows on and she's already had dinner.) Is that option still on the table? And in my mind I'm hearing her think, "yes dear, that while the option is still on the table, your dinner won't be, because there's not room for both..." I better just watch the video now, then go cook potatoes again and be happy I get to watch this video and have a happy wife!!! 😆 I hope you and your lucky mate enjoyed your wonderful dinners ladies!!!! Salute!

That Does sound delicious! But don’t forget to Give Thanks 🙏 Including for the wonderful voice of Nance. 🙂

Ooowy!! This old Okie likes the spaghetti!! Fave food ever. Camping solo 2nite around Antlers ,Okla. We'll see if they like the stories?

I like the long ones, too. But I was the nerdy little girl who often chose books from the school library based on how thick they were - I wanted a LONG story!

Thanks - picking the photos is always fun.

I know it's been a few months now, but I hope things gotten better for you!

Have you experienced anything?

@@leeannmettlach2412 no I have not.

👍🏻

True dat

Don't know how many of those I broke as kid. Glass liners and school playgrounds did not mix well.

I totally forgot aboot the school one, wow.

Broke my share as a kid as well. Ahhh those were the days

I am old too. When you dropped the thermos, you would hear that awful sound of broken glass clanking inside the thermos. My mother would be so disgusted.

@@eileenrobinson4627 Yes! I definitely remember hearing that sound on more than one occasion.

Recording them is an awesome idea to capture their voice. My oldest sister was legally blind. She & I exchanged audio letters on cassette tapes when it was cheaper to mail them than call each other. She passed a few years ago. I had forgotten about the treasureI have in my desk till I wrote that! WOW & how I've missed Claudette's voice in my ear! But, even if you don't have the capability to record them audibly - pen & paper work well! Atleast you have a historical record of their life. You may need to write them down as they tell you & encourage the whole family to do so. I urged my mom to write her thoughts & memories when she complained of being lonely with no one to talk to after my dad passed. Of course, my older sister & BIL was with her every day & 3 bros called her every day when they got cells. I called her atleast once a week. I sent her a beautiful journal & sent her mini themed journals to pass quiet moments & capture her impressions. She loved the idea, stickers & pockets & envelopes for souvenirs, suggestion pages to get her to write like about the beaches in HI & tucked little surprises for her to find & the games I made up like I Spy within the little jounal for her to take on trips. Days blur together on a trip - it was basically to keep her memory fresh & clear. She always sent me a wonderful pkg of souvenirs & I heard her impressions & stories! The little books only helped pass the flight or ride. She got pleasure out of those minis, & it was fun doing them, but she never wrote a word in any journal I gave her. God Bless Her!

Isn't that incredible for June? I love this weather. It could stay like this (in the 70s) all summer long and I would be one happy girl!

I just watched a video about the Ohio blizzard of 1978. That was some scary weather. I live in Georgia where it's hot for about 9 months of the year. I spent 4 months in north Texas from November to March and I thought that I would freeze to death. But Texas didn't hold a candle to Ohio in 78. That is until this year when Texas froze. I think I'll stay in Georgia as long as my AC keeps working.

Here's one. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DJCBX6T/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Lol,I did that too when I was a kid😂

I had a Scooby Doo metal lunchbox with a metal thermos and shiny glass interior. I cried so HARD when I dropped it and broke the thermos. I tried to save the lunchbox but my mama wasn't having none of that. She pitched it and got me a Holly Hobbie lunchbox so I would have a thermos again. That was 1977 and I still don't think I've forgiven her! I mean, Holly Hobbie was okay, but she wasn't Scooby Doo cool.

@@BuckeyeBigfoot lol I did too,it was the crew in the van all hanging out ....those were the days!

Ha ha! One of my friends had the Holly Hobbie lunch box. Another had the Monkees s.p.?. Another had Mary Poppins. Year after year I carried the Peanuts Lunch box. Fun memories. My brother had Daniel Boone with Fess Parker. Most of our thermoses had been pitched already !.

Waving from Tigard at my neighbor!

You no there are more than one type of bf

Dogman travels tree to tree? Holy Cow! I'd thought they'd be ground dwellers without opposing thumbs. Once, I saw a BF swing down from the top of a big billboard along the side of a hwy. It was nestled in next to a hill with a cut-thru for the road I was on. It swung down & around, gripping the top & sides of the sign & dropped down behind it & out of sight. Have you seen a Dogman? IDK anything about the differences between these 2 creatures. I picture a werewolf-type creature. I'd think a DM encounter would make me even more leary of big dogs. I've seen 2 BF from a distant that resembled chimpanzees. One that had smooth face of a young man. That is the closest observation I had of the face. I've not been to a zoo & seen apes or monkeys since BF became a reality to me. I have questioned my ability to look at them the same as before & how I might react. Big dogs are a very common & so are often vicious. IDK, anything about the nature of DM, except they're aggressive. I've also heard of them running away suddenly after an aggressive display. The DM sounds like a terror of its own. If I saw one - I'd be freaking jumping out of my skin every time I heard the growling & barking of a dog inside a fence. DM are every where? That's a damn terrifying thought!

@@leeannmettlach2412 Yeah, ive heard a lot of stories with the DM's in trees. Some describe them as having hands like raccoons but with big claws. There are reportedly many different types just like bigfoot too.

Wait . .. what? Chocolate peanut butter pie Oreos??? What kind of witchcraft is that?

@@BuckeyeBigfoot yes, and they are AWESOME. let's just say the cookie part is a gram cracker, and the filling is half peanut butter/ chocolate.

@@BuckeyeBigfoot They better not cancel them out, that would be Witchcraft 😆😆.

Scott 66. I'll probably have to finance those Oreo's, because of the price of grocery's are today. Thanks to Joe Obama-den.

Seriously? Is this a thing if so I'm ordering a case!!🤤🤤🤤

Do u know something the rest of of DONT know? ( You said, this year will be getting better sooner) ??

Omg

Some people are just idiots.

I still eat them today, I grew up with them as a kid I love them, Potted meat yummy

One of my tongue slips as a kid: I asked my Dad what POTTIED MEAT was.. His reply "Nobody knows, girl,-- and nobody knows who POTTIED in it, either. Ha ha ha ". My family called it POTTIED MEAT from then on to tease me. True story !. Guess what I got in my lunch after that ? Ironic.

Buddy that is hot I've always wanted to visit your country it's on my bucket list lol have a good day mate
