was working we put them in the dish washer and when they were done they were ready to put away Sun, Oct 14, 2001 Re: Hang laundry outside i liked to dry them outside unless it was too cold or too wet our basement had two rooms the back room was the furnace there was a cot back there the men came in to rest on if it was too wet to work in the fields and that is where i had my inside lines i would hang the diapers there an everyday job till one day i came in and they had me a drier they got tired of wet diapers hanging over their cot when it was wet and they got a break from field work i was really glad to have it but i still hung them outside unless it was really cold one time when i was first married i put too much bluing in the water i had two really pretty blue sheets but the neighbors laughed at me my sister in law said you didn't learn much at home did you? and it was the truth my mother was a 24 hour a day housekeeper and didn't want someone else messing with things but then my mother in law never let the men or boys in her kitchen so the first time my husband and i tried to cut up a chicken it had some very strange looking pieces Sun, Oct 14, 2001 Re: Hang laundry outside i always thought the wringer washer was faster yes i seperated them washed whites and baby cloths first then through the wringer into the rinse tub about 4 groups whites light colored dark colored overalls didn't take that long but with the washer i still separated them but the washer had to finish it's cycle and i always though that took a lot longer with the wringer i could be done in a couple of hours but either the automatic took at least three unless i went to the laundromat and had a different washer for each load but then i had to wait for them to finish in the drier at home i could be doing something else if i hung them out a lot of times the first load would be dry and in before the lst load was done and i hate to tell you how many times i forgot to take my husbands watch out of the pocket of his overalls one of the worst things that happened in the farming days one morning he went out to do the milking always the first chore when he came in his ears were frozen it was cold that morning we called the dr. he said have him sit in a warm room them drink one ounce of whiskey every hour well of course we didn't have any whiskey in the house so we called his dad he brought a bottle he had gotten it in town the township he lived in was wet but the one we lived in was dry if you remember what that means Mon, Oct 15, 2001 Re: INTRODUCING A LOVELY LADY Sue welcome

halloween it has GONE THROUGH A LOT OF CHANGES first there were the celts it was their new year samhain when the god of the underworld took over the sun and there was a period of darkness then the romans i think that was where we got the pumpkins and nuts then the church who made it all saints day followed by all souls day about the only holliday that didn't have a pagan origin was easter which was the jewissh passover the blood of the lamb saved them Tue, Oct 23, 2001 Re: The man in the yellow sweater (long) i used to like to listen to my grandmother and great grandmother but they both died the year i was 6 so there was a lot of questions i was too young to know to ask them a lot i would have liked to know better but the most i remember about my great grandmother was she was a rabid republican even during the depression when everyone else i knew was a democrat and for Roosevelt i know she lived through the civiil war but there are many things i would like to know about that that i never knew to ask in fact all i knew about it later was that an uncle of my father a generation older than my grandmother had defied his family and joined the confederate army he was banned from the family for this even marked out of the family bible sometimes i would like to know what he was thinking it must have been something other than all the rest of the family thought either side Tue, Oct 23, 2001 Re: Wartime Rations I lived in ill we paid close attention to the blackouts my dad was block captain and for a long tiime we had helmets and gas masks in our basement we were careful because there was a factory in our town that could have been a target Caterpillar tractor think at one time they made tanks i was too young to do any war work i was 15 when the war started and my mother wouldn't have let me near a U.S.O. place though the older girls in the neighborhood did i never did know if there was an age limit on them but as far as my mother was concerned there was and as far as the WACS OR THE WAVES even when i was older i couldn't have belonged to them there was a 5' 2" limit an i was never over 4'9" in fact i'm still not as Alice said 3" is such a rediculous height and of course i was the wrong gender to be drafted though i was probably too short for that too Tue, Oct 23, 2001 Re: Wartime Rations i remember a parade down main street on v.e. day people hugging and kissing and two or three cars of the gold star mothers people would run out in the street and bounce the cars but not those cars they were treated with great respect Thu, Oct 25, 2001 LAST WORDS I REMEMBER READING OF THE DEATH OF ROY ROGERS by his son Dusty who was there at the time he said his father had been in a coma but just before he passed away he woke up and said Lord it's been a long hard ride Fri, Oct 26, 2001 Re: Tornados,Power Failures, several years ago there was a tornado in Peoria my folks were still living and i tried for hours to get them on the phone but either all the lines were down or they were all busy the most it did to them was take out a picket fence in the back but it did take the roof off of the new high school i say new because it was the same high school i graduated from in 1944 but it was built new and at the location of our football field when i went to school the band had marching practice there we had to go there in the morning band was first hour it was about a mile west from where i lived and the school was a mile east after practivce we had to get back to the school in time for second hour the director would take the ones with the bass drums and the tubas in his car but all i had was a clairinet so i was on my own one silvelining i thought band members were excused from gym and i wasn't atheletic so that was ok by me marching and geting back to school was plenty of exercise Fri, Oct 26, 2001 Re: Tornados,Power Failures, mothers grandmother used to take her to Indiana with her in the summer she would go there to keep house for two uncles it was northern indiana Delphi and there may have been a lot of wind storms because if there was a storm especially one with wind it frightened my mother Sat, Oct 27, 2001 Re: AIRPLANES i remember when i was little running out and looking up if i heard an airplane they had a wing on the bottom and one on the top of course i am often out of date when we toured the Medical center one of the sights were the flight for life helicopters i asked them when they had started putting the patients inside and was reminded me Mash was quite awhile ago Mon, Oct 29, 2001 Re: A sad weekend i am

she was confined to and when ypu see her again she will be well and strong and you will see her again just as i was certain when my grandmothers died the year i was six that i would be with them again that has been 69 years ago and i know now it can't be that much longer at least not that long again so when it is my turn i would rather think of them rejoicing than being sad Mon, Oct 29, 2001 Re: A

COMIN for our parties my mother always made a big skillet full of chilli for our hot dogs then there was a big platter of cup cakes half with orange frosting half with chocolate and apple cider my girl friends brother and his friend drank a whole gallon of it one year but my dad went out and got us more so we had plenty we spent most of the week before cutting out black cats and witches to put up on the basement walls we had candy apples too Wed, Oct 31, 2001 Re: True War story you don't know if you weren't there my first link is true war story too but that isn't all of it Jim and Bob my girlfriends friend left for training together they were both 16 Lavone and i were 14 when they shipped out they were both on the same ship then it went down and they were seperated Jims ship went down in the battle of Lynguyan gulf in the first invasion of the Phillipines in 1945 he was probably 21 at the time his death upset bob so much he and Lavonne started to write he came home when the war ended in 45 they were married in 46 she and i were both 20 that year they had six chilfdren i was 14 when Jim left and of course don'y know if there would have been anything between us if he had come home who knows something like that but we all went on and lived the life he never had sorry didn't mean to get maudlin Wed, Oct 31, 2001 Re: True War story my son in laws father was a pilot not in korea but in ww2 when we went to visit the kids the three years they were in germany Marys dad asked Jim my son in law if he thought his folks would be coming over Jim said the only way you will get my dad here is if they let him fly the plane now they are back and when Mary comes to see me i will say where is Jim she will with at his sisters in columbia or at his folks he remodeled his mothers kitchen for her and rebuilt their porch but a lot of times he is teaching his dad about his new computer Wed, Oct 31, 2001 HOW I disgrased MYSELF was reading about the different technology since Korea the hospital where i worked was physically attached to the University of Missouri Medical center one time they remodeled their emergency room and waiting area we all went for a tour of the new facilities of course part of it was the helicopters of the flight for life i said to the man who was conducting the tour how long have they been putting the patients inside he looked at me and laughed and said do you know how long it's been since Korea of course i know any of you who ever watched Mash understand and Bill my hubby was in Korea so we were pretty constant watchers now they have the helicopters fixed up better than an ambulance there is even a crash cart in them that's what they use to shock someone in case of cardiac arrest when the heart stops and there is always an R.N. that flies with them and i think a dr. anyway it is different than it was in the 50's also different than wartime they might pick up a lot of car crash victims but not too many battlefield casualties |
