Wow ya’ll must have been rich ........ corn cobs according to my parents. They were happy if it wasn’t popcorn cobs on a hot day !! ow ow ...ow ow ow !!
You betcha.
We only ate brown beans every other day and lima beans on Tuesday.
We had to use corncobs when we visited Aunt Willie & Uncle
Albert in the hills. They went outside the barn & there was
a clean pile of cobs where the corn had been shucked off to
feed the chickens. - Actually, there wasn’t the “event”
factor surrounding going to the bathroom like it is these
days. - We new also have a Squatty Potty that really does
work well for me AND the Charmin single ply is really a
step up for me. Back then, you didn’t linger. Not that the
smell was bad; just not conducive to having an event. -
Daddy dug the toilet himself, then tossed in powdered lime
& built a nice little outhouse over the hole complete with
wooden seat with a raised cover. Those were the days!
We weren’t finicky back then. Daddy used creosote in the
mix also.
