Chamber pots were almost as cold in an unheated upstairs room as was a trip to the little house out back!

chamber pots was what I was trying to remember! So people wouldn't have to go outside - - -

Once upon a time people had tall beds and this pot was kept under it.

And all the euphemisms and slang used for elimination.

I have relatives who still use chamber pots. They live in a very old farmhouse that doesn't have any upstairs bathroom, and only one downstairs off the master bedroom. So a guest needs to use a chamber pot, especially if they are elderly and don't do stairs too well. I chose to stay with other relatives at night! :shock: :roll:

When I was a kid my dad had some honorary grandparents who had only an outhouse. My mom says she potty trained me when they only had an outhouse. Can you imagine?

My grandparents had one we used when we were playing outside. They still use them at the parks here in Iowa. Tho alot of them now have regular toilet seats instead of just the holes.So do and some don't. My grandson Joey refused to use it when he was about 4. It is dark down in the hole and if he couldn't see down there he wasn't sitting on that hole!! LOL

When my kids were little nobody was open on Sundays so when we made the 1 1/2 hour trip to the inlaws we had to know where all the parks were and they only had outhouses then. Of course we never made the trip without having to stop a couple of times both going up and back.

DH and I have been reading this thread and we both have really enjoyed it!! The one with the lady in sears had me rollong...had to bump up my oxygen flow so I could catch my breath. We decided we had to post some of FIL's sayings. I have bee with dh for 13yrs and he can still say some I have never heard. I will clen them up as much as possible, but you can guess what I'm trying to say.

Examples:

I wish I had his __ and they had a feather up there butt. Then we'd both be tickled.

Bird crapped on a fence post and the sun hatched you out.

Hard to drain the swamp when you're up to your butt in alligators.

Crotch frogs (fart)

There are lots more...normally dh just spews them out. Do you think he can come up with any right now?? NOT!!

DH's pet peeve The city of Norfolk, NE....it is NOR-FOLK not NOR FORK!! It is CARE-A-MEL, not CARMEL...there is an A in the spelling. Even makes a point to point it out on the package!!

My pet peeve is using the word "good" and "well" incorectly.

It should be..you did a good job or you did well. I can;t stand it when someone says..I did good in response to you asking how they did on something. I corrct dh on it all the time. Oh, and a lot is two words!! OK..done for now. I rellay enjoyed this thread.
