Don't Throw the Baby Out!

Next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s:

***********************

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!"

A Pot to What?

Next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s:

*****************

They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor" But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot...........they "didn't have a pot to piss in" and were the lowest of the low.

Boyhood Winter

In honor of winter having arrived here, I thought I’d post some boys out in the elements. As a kid, snow is so awesome. That’s because they don’t have to shovel it or drive in it. Plus there are so many things you can do that you can’t do the rest of the year. So the boys say, “Let it snow!” The adults go "Ugh!"

We may as well enjoy watching them enjoy it!
