DO YOU REMEMBER THESE?

DO YOU REMEMBER THESE?
WELL I REMEMBER THEM!
https://youtu.be/Sfpe28mv9n0
Yessss, I remember 2 things about these machines.
During the Cuban Missile Crises my Mom cleaned ours out and filled it with water, so we could drink after the H-Bomb. Then then my younger brother brought in some toy boats we had sitting out in some rain filled mud puddles and he decided to sail them in the clean washer water.
I caught heck for not standing guard properly over our H-Bomb free water supply, good we could not afford a firing squad for my sorry ass, dereliction of duty at 7.
The second memory is (as I believe that I never really had a childhood), because I was the eldest and as such had Adult tasks to help out my over stressed Mom.
At 8, I was to run the clothes and diapers through the wringer after clean and rinse cycles. Draining and refilling the washer each time and also even adding the soap.
The fun part was the wringer part, as I would feed it with clothes by hand, it was kinda fun watching the water squish out.
So one day I became distracted by day dreaming and the cloth I was shoving through caught my fingers, then my hand, then my arm along with the cloth I was feeding into the wringer and me screaming in Terror!!
I thanked GOD for the designers at Westinghouse, who must have had me in mind with a safety feature built into this wringer. That made it to pop release, if too much went through it! Or as I thought, for idiots like me! For when both the cloth and my right elbow got into the two wringer wheels, the whole thing suddenly POPPED OPEN, THEN THE WRINGER STOPPED!
Much to my freaking delight, I then realized that I had also peed myself.
Yes, I remember these machines really well...

WELL WRITTEN SONG AND HEY AMERICAN LADIES. FOR YOUR SAKE GET OUT AND VOTE!

Published on Oct 7, 2018

It's a very scary time for men and boys. So I wrote a song about it.

It goes like this! 

A SCARY TIME (Lyrics)

I CAN’T WALK TO MY CAR LATE AT NIGHT WHILE ON THE PHONE I CAN’T OPEN UP MY WINDOWS WHEN I’M HOME ALONE I CAN’T GO TO A BAR WITHOUT A CHAPERONE AND I CAN’T WEAR A MINI SKIRT IF ITS THE ONLY ONE I OWN

I CAN’T USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AFTER 7 PM

I CAN’T BE BRUTALLY HONEST WHEN YOU SLIDE INTO MY DMS

I CAN’T GO TO THE CLUB JUST TO DANCE WITH MY FRIENDS

AND I CAN’T EVER LEAVE MY DRINK UNATTENDED

BUT IT SURE IS A SCARY TIME FOR BOYS

YEAH GENTLEMEN! BAND TOGETHER, MAKE SOME NOISE

ITS REALLY TOUGH WHEN YOUR REPUTATION’S ON THE LINE

AND ANY WOMAN YOU’VE ASSAULTED COULD TURN UP ANYTIME

YEAH, IT SURE IS A SCARY TIME FOR GUYS

CAN’T SPEAK TO ANY WOMEN OR LOOK THEM IN THE EYES

ITS SO CONFUSING, IS IT RAPE OR IS IT JUST BEING NICE?

SO INCONVENIENT THAT YOU EVEN HAVE TO THINK TWICE

I CAN’T LIVE IN AN APARTMENT IF IT'S ON THE FIRST FLOOR

I CAN’T BE WEARING SILK PAJAMAS WHEN I ANSWER THE DOOR

I CAN’T HAVE ANOTHER DRINK EVEN IF I WANT MORE

I CAN’T MAKE YOU FEEL INVALID, UNSEEN, OR IGNORED

I CAN’T JOG AROUND THE CITY WITH HEADPHONES ON MY EARS

I CAN’T SPEAK OUT AGAINST MY RAPIST AFTER 35 YEARS

I CAN’T BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY IF I'M HOLDING BACK TEARS

AND I CAN’T EVER SPEAK EARNESTLY ABOUT ALL MY FEARS

BUT IT SURE IS A SCARY TIME FOR DUDES

CAN’T TEXT A GIRL REPEATEDLY ASKING FOR NUDES

CAN’T MAKE HER HAVE SEX WHEN SHE’S NOT IN THE MOOD

AND WHAT GIVES HER THE RIGHT TO GIVE YOU ATTITUDE??

YEAH, IT SURE IS A SCARY TIME FOR MEN

GIRLS LIKE TO ACT LIKE YOU’RE TO BLAME AND THEY’RE THE VICTIMS

HER DRESS WAS SHORT AND SHE WAS DRUNK, SHE’S NOT SO INNOCENT

THANK GOD YOUR DAD’S THE JUDGE AND YOU WON’T BE CONVICTED

OH WAIT...THAT’S RIGHT…

IT’S NOT SUCH A SCARY TIME FOR BOYS

THEY’VE ALWAYS HAD THE UPPER HAND, THEY’VE ALWAYS HAD A CHOICE

IT’S TIME FOR WOMEN TO RISE UP,

USE OUR COLLECTIVE VOICE

THE DAY TO VOTE’S NOVEMBER 6, SO LET’S GO MAKE SOME NOISE!

For all the females in the world!

A WONDER WOMAN.

A WONDER WOMAN
https://youtu.be/7ispY0m3Jf4
When they see that she has her own car, place, clothes, job.
Her children are well taken care of ... She keeps herself well kept and elegant ... She wants the best for her family so she works hard for it. They think it's easy. They think it's normal just because she's a Modern day WONDER WOMAN. But when she goes home and figuratively undresses ... there are bruises and scars physically/mentally and pain she endured through that day just to provide those essential needs to herself and everyone else. No one really understands that part. Just because she can do it by herself does not mean she should have to ... Appreciate WONDER WOMAN because she's just that....  
A WONDER WOMAN.

Yes, what I felt during Canadian Thanksgiving yesterday. Without Joyce, life is ALWAYS as sunny, bright and cheerful of late? This is
Hell and for me and it is cold and yet singular, much like my bovine friend in this photo of mine, and once again today it snows!

History and Origin of Canadian & United States Thanksgiving :)

History and Origin of Canadian & United States Thanksgiving :)

https://youtu.be/2e1s9R2IHIQ
In Canada Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October, this year 2012 it falls on Monday Oct. 8th, or today eh! Unlike the American tradition of remembering Pilgrims and settling in the New World, Canadians give thanks for a successful harvest. The harvest season falls earlier in Canada compared to the United States due to the simple fact that Canada is further north.

The history of Thanksgiving in Canada goes back to an English explorer, Martin Frobisher, who had been trying to find a northern passage to the Orient. He did not succeed but he did establish a settlement in Northern America. In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony, in what is now called Newfoundland, to give thanks for surviving the long journey. This is considered the first Canadian Thanksgiving. Other settlers arrived and continued these ceremonies. He was later knighted and had an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean in northern Canada named after him - Frobisher Bay.

At the same time, French settlers, having crossed the ocean and arrived in Canada with explorer Samuel de Champlain, also held huge feasts of thanks. They even formed 'The Order of Good Cheer' and gladly shared their food with their Indian neighbours.
In the US a collective prayer of thanksgiving was led by Captain John Woodlief in the Virginia Colony on December 4, 1619 near the current site of Berkeley Plantation, where celebrations are still held each year in November. Woodleif addressed the 38 men in the English of that time: "Wee ordaine that the day of our ships arrivall at the place assigned for plantacon in the land of Virginia shall be yearly and perpetually keept holy as a day of Thanksgiving to Almighty God."

The Pilgrims were particularly thankful to Squanto, the Native American who taught them how to catch eel, grow corn and who served as an interpreter for them (Squanto had learned English as a slave in Europe). Without Squanto's help the Pilgrims might not have survived in the New World. The explorers who later came to be called the "Pilgrims" set apart a day to celebrate at Plymouth immediately after their first harvest, in 1621. At the time, this was not regarded as a Thanksgiving observance; harvest festivals were existing parts of English and Wampanoag tradition alike. Several American colonists have personal accounts of the 1621 feast in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
In Canada, after the Seven Year's War ended in 1763, the citizens of Halifax Nova Scotia held a special day of Thanksgiving.

During the American Revolution, Americans who remained loyal to England moved to Canada where they brought the customs and practices of the American Thanksgiving to Canada. There are many similarities between the two Thanksgivings such as the cornucopia and the pumpkin pie.
In the First US National Proclamation of Thanksgiving, was given by then President George Washington on October 3rd 1789, he created the first Thanksgiving Day designated by the national government of the United States of America.

In the middle of the American Civil War (October 3, 1863), President Abraham Lincoln, prompted by a series of editorials written by Sarah Josepha Hale, proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day, to be celebrated on the final Thursday in November 1863.
"The first Thanksgiving Day in Canada after Confederation was observed on April 15, 1872, to celebrate the recovery of The Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) from a serious illness."
Eventually in 1879, the Canadian Parliament declared November 6th a day of Thanksgiving and a national holiday. Over the years many dates were used for Thanksgiving, the most popular was the 3rd Monday in October.

After World War I, both Armistice Day and Thanksgiving were celebrated on the Monday of the week in which November 11th occurred. Ten years later, in 1931, the two days became separate holidays and Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day.

Finally, on January 31st, 1957, the Canadian Parliament proclaimed..."A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed ... to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October. And Folks that is the History and Origin of Canadian & United States Thanksgiving… GOBBLE GOBBLE And HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

NOTE:
From one pumpkin to another!
A woman was asked by a co-worker, "What is it like to be a Christian?"
The co-worker replied, "It is like being a pumpkin."
GOD picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you.
Then HE cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff.
HE removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed.
Then HE carves you a new and smiling face and HE puts HIS light inside of you,
too shine for all the world to see." :)

A penny for my thoughts, oh, no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

Sent to Y’all with all the Love and that heaven will allow.
I am not afraid to see GOD are you? GOOD MORNING!
