Care to get even more older than dirt?
What about taking the left handed sugar bowl out to dump after a busy night - under the bed?
Or using the outdoor privy only? no bathrooms in the house.
Or using horses to do the field work?
How about playing carom by kerosene lamps?
How about making wood all winter long, so it dried over summer so you'd have wood for the old cook stove, or heater in the livingroom?
Or using coal in the then "modern" furnaces?
And carrying water to the house from teh outside well?
How about heating water on top of the stove to wash clothes or take teh Saturday night baths in the old washtub?
and the list could go on.................
THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS - IN SPITE OF THE HARD WORK THAT WENT WITH MOST OF IT.
