According to my grandmother and her siblings, they filled a washtub out in the yard a couple times a week, and everyone washed. Free showers and hairwashing if they got a hard rain!

"Hi, General! I’d stop to chat, but I have to make a poster and take it to church."

The last poster you made took nearly twenty years.

Do we have the best damn Army in the world, or what?

I mean the whole military is great! This is becoming a outstanding generation fo young folk. Many stepping up to the plate.

God Bless em’ all, every one of them.

Retired kudos!

[NicknamedBob]

"Do we have the best damn Army in the world, or what?"

Yes.

We have an army to be proud of out in the world, and anomie at home to bring us shame.

I was going to ask you it it was true! LOL!

Yes, of course. Due to the fact that I was alive in 1907.

LOL!

Maybe we should ask Bob. He's older than dirt.

[fanfan]

Those cheapskate immigrants who were undercutting the wage rate by working for only fifteen cents an hour.

Oh, like my grandpa?

[NicknamedBob]

"Oh, like my grandpa?"

Exactly.

What did they think? That the streets were paved with gold?

[fanfan]

The streets were paved with something back then, but I don’t think it smelled like gold.

[rottndog]

I think they were just happy to have paved streets.

[fanfan]

I think they were just happy to have paved streets.

That's not the kind of paved I was refering to.

*sigh, still, no one can read my mind*

Did you know that in the 1900's the "futurists" of the time were seriously worried about how people in the cities would deal with all the horse s**t in the future?

Series!

[fanfan]

What does it taste like?

[NicknamedBob]

*sigh, still, no one can read my mind*

I read your mind just fine.

Of course, nowadays, some of your streets are paved with ice!

That ought to bring in the tourists!

[ColdSteelTalon]

Remarkable Valor. If there is any hope for America, it will be in these kinds of men.

[darkangel82]

I’ve forgotten, since I haven’t had it in a while.

[fanfan]

Ok, smarty pants.

What am I thinking?

[fanfan]

It was good, but I don’t remember what it tastes like?

Then it tastes exactly as I would imagine. Sounds glorious.

I’ll have to try some when I see it.
Thanks.

;-)

[fanfan]

Sorry for asking.

My mind flies around so fast, I can’t even catch a glimpse of it.

[NicknamedBob]

"My mind flies around so fast, I can’t even catch a glimpse of it."

Probably best that I wasn't paying too much attention, then.

I tend to smack at things that buzz around my head.
