It really...I just don't get it. I saw she let him know that she was aware of his theft (and he had a dead-stupid smartass response, of course), and I removed my "like" on "his" post. I was considering chiming in to give him a piece of my mind, but I decided to sleep on it, heh. I have precious little mind to waste, so every decision to give away a piece of it must be carefully considered. *grin*Bibliotheca Servarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11643412827583261562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-48492944413530495512016-11-01T05:40:13.517-05:002016-11-01T05:40:13.517-05:00Oh dear!

You guys call by what it does if it gets ahold of something its not, it will mangle that finger.<br /><br />Here we have a phrase "tit in a wringer" is there a similar phrase from your home? "Tit in a mangle?"

The winter my youngest sister was a baby was very wet so Mother spent a lot of time at the laundry-mat drying diapers. Dad believed everyone should be at the dinner table so he bought a gas dryer. My sister was in her thirties before that drier gave up the ghost.<br /><br />It was definitely cheaper in the late 70s to wash diapers than use disposables. It was a little over a thousand for the price of cloth diapers, soap, water and electricity for 2 years. The cost of disposables was something like 3 or 4 thousand for the same time period.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530748998376076224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-92036833998923001162016-10-31T14:55:46.104-05:002016-10-31T14:55:46.104-05:00Heh.
