Am I The Only One – Aaron Lewis

So true, Dolly.

We took our example from the Mennonites/Amish, right here in Ontario.

Most of the farms have a doddy house. As long as everyone tries to be kind and helpful and respectful of others, it actually works out incredibly well.

Our mobile house is about 60 feet away from Natalie and Matt’s house. I usually never go over without being invited. If I do want to drop in for any reason, I never go without first calling to make sure it’s an ok time. I wouldn’t do it to anyone else, so I won’t do it to them. OTOH, they can pop over here whenever they like, and they do. Our small deck between the two houses is usually the sitting and yapping deck.

The kids can pop in whenever, but if I’m tired or I don’t feel like visiting, I can send them on their way, no problem. Now that they’re getting a bit older they don’t pop in as much (unless they’re after a Freezie lol).

Here’s a link to an Amish doddy house - scroll down to the laundry room and you’ll see the exact washing machine I had while the kids were growing up lol. I loved it!

Ooooops forgot the link. Good thing I’m in a doddy house lol!

Does a Doddy house stand for what I think it does? No way you had that old washer! You’re not that old! And your kids certainly aren’t

It’s from the German, dawdi haus.

Dawdi Haus – a small house or rooms separate from the main house where a grandparent or grandparents live out their retirement. dawg – day. dat – dad (alternate spellings: daed, daadi)

Yes! I had an old Maytag wringer washer - looked just like that. Square more than round lol. I used it for years. I got an automatic washing machine when the kids went to high school.

I never used disposable diapers - with that old washing machine I could set it on wash and let those diapers swish around for an hour if I wanted (or forgot lol). Then out to the sunshine on the clothes line. They were the whitest diapers around. They were also the only ones around.

Let's do this!!!!!

[JudyinCanada]

Lol “Stabbing Strangers Who Talk To You.” That would take care of things that got too peopley.

[JudyinCanada]

Lol I’d fall asleep!

[CottonBall]

That’s the point! Fall asleep, wake up, eat pizza, fall asleep, .... I can’t think of a better evening

[CottonBall]

“too peopley”

True!

luvie, I forgot to invite you to the slumber party! I knew I’d forgotten people, so sorry

[luvie]

Ooooooo....slumber party! Will it include...

???

" Does a Doddy house stand for what I think it does"

My pop used to have a 2 holer in Norway, this one is the luxury model

I’m flying to Kansas on Friday. I’ll let you know how it goes.

[Jemian]

Good thinking. The men can encourage each other.

[JudyinCanada]

When it comes to this type of “facility”, I’m thinking the one-holer (as in nobody else is in there with you!) would be the luxury model. This one looks like commercial compared to first class.

[JudyinCanada]

Well, thanks for that visual, Jem lol.

[Jemian]

Don’t thank me. Thank General Steele as played by the inimitable Harry Morgan.
