A double-dog dare? I never heard of that one before.

But it made such a great blog post. Now I'm going to think on it for awhile and you shouldn't be surprised if I pop up again with another dare--this time how about a double-dog dare?! Never dare you? But it made such a great blog post. Now I’m going to think on it for awhile and you shouldn’t be surprised if I pop up again with another dare–this time how about a double-dog dare?!

As you say not all changes are for the good. I too appreciate my computer and the Internet giving me the opportunity to make and meet friend on line at any time of the day.

I enjoyed hearing how things were in the past. Somethings that have changed are for the best, but others would have been better left alone. With less TV, families talked more and played board games together. Without cellphones & email, people stopped by for chats more often... However, I do love the internet. I can talk to all my friends and family that live far away. As always, very interesting! I do love you blog :) hugs~kimme Funny and very interesting post. I enjoyed hearing how things

I had an attic bedroom and remember the ferny shaped frost patterns on the dormer window. There was tongue and groove wood on the sloping ceilings and walls. I remember drawing patterns in the condensation while lying in bed. Funny I don't remember feeling cold. Reminds me of the definition of a cardigan.........Something a child puts on when it's mother's cold Truly we are spoiled now aren’t we.

I never heard of the legs of knickers being used to carry food, but I do know that the space was well used to smuggle shopping bought in Dublin and brought back to the North of Ireland during the years of rationing. BHB - You should check out the graphic <a href="http://www.grannymar.com/blog/2007/04/10/little-time-left/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. There is no reason why you should not buy thongs. For all she knew they might have been a present for a young person. WWW - Blisters and chilblains! Oh the pain! :( We have a thaw and most of our snow has gone. Bitter Siberian winds have replaced it, and there is st5ill a chance of more snow tonight. Magpie - Thank goodness we lived in a city and indoor loos were the norm.

Though I must say I'm regressing a bit out here in the outports. I have the old wood stove and love cooking on it. But I remember the fire and the big fork and the toast done on it but I never ever got used to the damp. It seeped everywhere, the blankets were always damp and the hot water jars would give blisters. I hope it warms up for you soon, I know you suffer from the cold more than most!

When they came on the market in my day, they were Thongs. If you walk backwards they come off your feet. I shocked a young salesclerk when I asked for Thongs---At my age! she was thinking.
