*Quilts in spare time...Impressive thimble collection. "Things were different back then. People worked and that's just what they did. Your great-grandfather worked in the coal mines and I remember how they would let the workers know if they needed to come in. When it got cold the whistle would blow twice letting them know that there was work in the mines, if it blew once then they needed half the workers, if it didn't blow at all then there was no work at the mines that day. Some winters were mild and you wouldn't hear the whistle blow very often, but some winters were cold like the winter of '36 when the workers were needed full time because people needed the coal when it got especially cold. And that's how it worked, if the whistle blowed there was work to be done, if not then people stayed at home. And that's how it was." "Did I ever tell you about prohibition?"

Teikanmi posted:My aunt lived in Silverton, Idaho and her boyfriend's name was Jim but he went by "Dogger" and was a big fan of Harley Davidson and talking poo poo about mexicans I once knew a man who went by "Booger" ("Boog" for short) who was a big fan of our lord and savior Jesus Christ. His brain was completely fried Ozzy style from the mountains of drugs he did in the 80s to where all he can manage now is his lovely "handyman" job, checking out under age girls and preaching the good word to anyone who'll listen. I assume he's still kicking around somewhere in my hometown.
