Going to the outhouse at -20 is a hair raising experience.”
I grew up on a farm and we had two chamber pots in every bedroom for use at night. Real up town. LOL
Same here.
It used to get down to freezing in our bedroom at night. My grandmother would heat up a brick on the stove all evening long. At bed-time she would wrap it in newspaper and send us to bed with it. We would essentially hibernate under the covers until morning. My brother and I each had one in our bed.
To this day, I sleep much better in a cold bedroom.
