First thing I spotted was the station wagon in the fourth row over, near the front of the line.
Aha! Now it makes sense. lol lol

The girl sitting in front of me in church on Sunday was wearing a tank top and her bra straps were showing. I understand that fashion has changed, but I think in church a certain level of modesty should still be conveyed.

You would think but it ain't necessarily so.:eusa_doh:
OTOH, I remember when no self-respecting woman under 30 wore a bra at all and everyone sunbathed topless (as in Sweden in the 80s)...

When I was growing up, we hid our bra straps even when they were hanging on the clothesline.

The concept that one should show a sense of propriety and respect in certain situations hasn't been passed on by many parents in long time.

That is a good point in general.

You hit the nail on the head, there!
One of my coworkers (used to work sanitation) she wears no bra and a white shirt and would be soaked from cleaning. She's 52 years old.....

How do you think I feel? I was there! She kissed me once, too! That was the scariest moment of my life!

I let it go, it was at the bar after a wake for a mutual friend and she was three sheets.
That's another vintage thing that has disappeared. It seems back in the day, that people weren't quite so 'touchy-feely' or maybe it's just me. It seems like everyone wants to hug and kiss these days.

Hi
getting serious. My Mother used to wash our cloths on a wash board and hang them out to dry on a cloths line.
So I guess the wash board is missing. I cant imagine any woman doing my clothes on a wash board.
Also my Father had a shoe repair shop on the side of the house. These days no one get there shoes repaired, heels, soles, etc.
A true dying profession, shoe repairs.
Best regards

It is even hard to find a pair of decent shoes that don't have a bonded welt connecting the upper to the sole (so much for a repairable shoe).
Look around and see how many people are really wearing shoes today. Many people consider athletic footwear to be appropriate with a shirt and tie and even a suit today.
