True, some of the customers never tipped at Chr ... er ... the winter festival ... and so we burned their papers in the fireplace along with the cords of wood. :rolleyes:

It was okay though, they all lived 25-miles up the hill and we didn't have phones for them to call and complain on. :p

Lmfao^^^^^

ROFLMAO

How long would it take to deliver them? It just seems like a ton of work!

He got up at 03:00 every day so he would have them delivered before it was milking time.

When I was a kid...

Cartoons were actually funny.

Kids were cross guards and we policed our own.

You had to earn that spending money, which usually meant raking the neighbors yard and getting a buck or two; same amount in the winter for shoveling their sidewalks.

Bikes had banana seats and you played kickball in the alley with all the other kids.

We walked to school and walked home. When we moved and had to ride the bus, it was an hour long trip.

We swam in the lake in the summer time, and didn't get all freaky if a weed tickled our foot.

Laundry hung on the line to dry.

A vacuum cleaner was a major purchase.

I was the remote control for the tv... dad always telling me to change the channel.

I was the automatic dishwasher and ran a cycle each night after dinner.

I learned to cook early to be able to help out around the house because mom worked.

I treasured my possessioned because I had to work for them and didn't think I was entitled to them for just being.

I knew homework was my responsibility and did it!

...

Life was much simpler

Gay was a state of mind, not a way of life

It was OK to play cowboys and indians

Your parents had to worry about paying the bills

War happened in other countries

Politicians were a little nicer to each other

National Geographic was the accepted way for a young boy to see naked women

A kid could take the bus downtown without his parents having to worry about his safety

And if memory serves me, the snow was always deeper when walking both ways up hill when you went to school

"National Geographic was the accepted way for a young boy to see naked women"

Whatever happened to the chick out of NG 1967 May, page 87? You know, the one in the middle?

I wrote and they never did do an encore photoshoot, the recalcitrant bastards!!!

^^ too funny!

wagon wheels were huge, no seriously, HUGE (do you have these round chocolate and marshmallow buiscuit things inthe states?)

I think they are called Moonpies here and it seems they like everything else has shrunk as the prices have gone up.

Wagon Wheels....too funny. I hated moonpies as a child, love them now.

I used to love milking the cows. They were Irish and loved to sing each morning that ol' Irish bovine song, "Moo ra loo ra Moo ra, Moo ra loo ra hay."

Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, DB! :D

The penny candy was a penny

my wife told me that when she was in primary school the tuck shop was only open once every 2 weeks, so i asked her if her lunch order was off when she got it 2 weeks later, she just gave me a strange look

:confused: come again please?
