Cute. I like the kitty seesaw.
As I've written before, until the early sixties, my grandparents' home out in the country featured their faithful one holer, AND, yes, the old Sear's catalog.
Tough to say which was more of a blessing: going out in the dead cold of a winter's night, or in the blistering heat of a summer day...they each had their special meaning.
I suppose I have told this story before, but it never fails to make me laugh...
When my dad and his sister were kids, they were in good old Frenchtown for summer vacation, leaving the hot city of Philly for the cool breezes of Frenchtown on the Delaware River....
One night, Aunt Helen had to run out for the outhouse...she was in such a hurry, then when she lifted what she thought was the lid over the hole, she accidentally picked up the whole plank, that had the hole in it...and whoosh...in she fell...my dad says, they heard this awful scream coming from the outhouse, and all the relatives ran out there....had to lower down a rope to haul poor stinky Aunt Helen out...she says, never before, nor since, had she had such an awful experience...altho, the time she fell into the pig stye and piles of pig manure, came in a close second....poor Aunt Helen....as my dad said, she was good for some laughs...
Helen had more thrills in a week, than most all of us have in a lifetime.
What's the haps Gal? U doin ok?
Thanks SL
OMG! How awful!
I will never forget my brother peeing on teh electric fence.
Hello Wings
Gabe and I just had a late dinner watching Extreme Makeover for a house. You never heard so much happy screaming in your life (well, maybe YOU have) as that family when they got their new digs.

Do any of your ever gamble online? Years ago, I used to play bingo on a site that actually paid you a little cash for each game won. Now, they just offer points for drawings. I need a little more excitement that that. LOL
I've been playing video poker on the sites that offer it for fun. I just love video poker. But, I am afraid to pay money for real play, as I don't know if I can trust them.
Does anyone know of a site to trust?
The experience is probably seared into your bro's memory, too.
.22 CB caps are very quiet...
What a great story Sharkey!!
We were priviledged to watch the Berlin wall as it fell and the end of the Soviet empire. I think this, although just a beginning, is just as historical.
LOL...........One consolation is because there are no more Outhouses the Halloween monsters no longer have this trick on their minds!
Being bad good as usual, I'm sure..............
Good rant Libby!!
A shocking story?
