We were a tough generation growing up

On a trip back to see the family in 1961 Ok & Ark. one group only had an outhouse. I was so scared to use it I made Grandpa go check for spiders and snakes in it so none would bite my butt. Probably the fastest potty break in history.

we got thirsty playing outside so we drank out of the hose. We rarely missed school, mother gave us 2 aspirins no matter why we didn't feel good, and sent us off to walk a couple of miles in good weather or bad.

so true. At school if we got hurt, the teacher with the medical knowledge, only ever gave out 2 aspirin regardless of the issue. . We used to joke that if we broke our legs, she'd do no more than give those 2 aspirin...

Growing up on our farm it had a 4 seater out house. One spring so much rain that it filled
with water and skat. Culdn’t sit in it. Had to go in the house, take off my shoes and use
the throne in thar. when they are full, really a bad experience. Out House had to be drug
off and the pit cleaned out with buckets to the manure spreader and put on a unused
5 acres of land. Port-a potties are sorta gross too! I skip Hucks Motor marts too cause of
the mess on the floors.

Thankfully there are the Sewer Sucking Services now!

When the war ended in 1945 I was 8 years old.
I used to play on bombed sites which were everywhere in most cities.
Us kids unearthed lots of stuff that had dropped from the sky by the Luftwaffe such as unexploded incendiary bombs, like the one in the picture.
We weren't aware of the dangers.

Probably why I don't go to outdoor events that use only those. I just know at some point before me some "think I'm being funny" person is in there whizzing all over everything.

in filthy places and barnyards to have their systems deal with its filth. Their saying farm
kids have far fewer allergies because of the pig pens and stuff.
