Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Wow. That’s um…. “Eager?” “Enthusiastic?” “Fill me up?” I don’t know the words exactly. Either way, well done. From the gown and headgear I’d say that was a bishop or a pope. They sure knew how to party. ETA: that carpenter must have carved that in-situ. High up, on a scaffold, in the dark. Eat my ass, Michelangelo. Edited August 19, 2023 by Deadlines? What Deadlines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H’uh One of our favorite experiences was a bookstore and restaurant that we enjoyed in Inverness, situated in a former church. The bookstore included all the balconies, and the ploughman's pickle was outstanding. Deadlines? What Deadlines? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother would leave myself and sibs in the car while she went shopping. No seatbelts until I was a teenager. Family with lots of kids, we were jammed in everywhere. She smoked while we were little. She told me that the women in the maternity wards at times she was birthing her babies all smoked on the wards. These are the 'good old days' I would never want back.

I'm sure they had to walk five miles to work uphill and ten miles up even bigger hills to get home then too. LongRider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did walk to school until the 7th grade. Before the 7th grade, we lived in Cheyenne, WY and there was plenty of snow in the fall, winter and spring. Not 10 miles though. After the fam moved to California, we were bused to school, a whole 'nother type of adventure. Damn, I'm glad I'm not a kid anymore.

Derfel Cadarn Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 My grandparents smoked in their car whixh had no belts on the back (at that time legally you only had to wear thr belts of fitted). They eventually had seatbelts installed in thr back. Still smoked though, my asthma be damned Tears of Lys and LongRider 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
