September 23, 2022 [View Online]( Good morning! It seems like everyone has a horror story about a bottle of lotion leaking (or worse, exploding) inside their purse or luggage. Not only are the solid lotion bars in Today’s Good Thing an easy way to prevent such catastrophes, but they help keep skin moisturized longer than liquid lotion. In a new Remember When, I’m reflecting on the trials of researching school assignments way back when. (There are plenty of aspects of pre-internet life I recall with fondness, but this is decidedly not one of them.) Jillee TODAY'S GOOD THING [Photos of DIY lotion bars.]( [Dry Skin?

Back then, if you were writing an essay about Alexander Hamilton, you’d head to the card catalog and start digging for relevant subjects. 'Hamilton, Alexander,' was a good place to start, and you could also look for 'American history' to get a wider range of options. After writing down the call numbers of some promising titles, the book search would commence. Nonfiction was shelved by the Dewey Decimal System, which many public libraries use to this day. You could even use it to skip the card catalog if you had a general subject in mind, like plants (580) or language (400). Once you had a few books in hand, you could either use them in the library or check them out with the paper checkout slip and take them home. And after all that, you still had to write the entire essay! (How did we ever have the stamina?!)
