For Sale on FB Market

 

 

I have heard of some really good deals that people got from FB Market, but these here are almost beyond comprehension. What.The.Fudge. Click on the pic to read.

 

 

Seriously…ice cream scoop?? Get that for your wife and see how she reacts! She’ll probably tell you that the freezer IS where the doctor keeps these things…

 

 

Now, this one is actually kinda cool. It would be a bear to keep clean, but it is sure to catch the attention of your guests.

 

 

This is EXACTLY what you might see out on Lake Oroville. You could tow the ice chest filled with brewskis right behind…

 

 

The explanation is a bit disturbing, but this WOULD make an awesome bed in a kids room. I bet other parents wouldn’t let their kid go to a slumber party there…

 

 

All I can say is WHY???

 

 

I’d be interested in watching someone use these. Got my doubts that it would go well…

If you curse when calling Wells Fargo it will put you in contact with a human.

I’ve mentioned more than once one of my favorite site where you can fill in the blanks and make a poem or song lyrics. https://www.poem-generator.org.uk/  Great resource. I’ve done a lot of poems and shared some of them. This is the first time I tried doing song lyrics. I tried to be as random as possible when filling in the blanks, and had to tinker a bit to add or subtract stuff. And by the way, that picture at the top is the cover of my new album that showcases this song…You may not have heard of the Slop Jockeys before, but I predict they will stun the world with their music…

 

An Angry Kinda Dreamer by the Slop Jockeys

 

I get on with life as a dreamer, although I'm an angry kinda person.
I like drinking and eating. I like to contemplate vodka.
But when I start to daydream,

My mind turns straight to shrimp.

(Five six seven eight...)

Sometimes I look in the mirror and I look into my eyes.
I notice the way I think about shrimp with a smile I just can't disguise.
But then I think it's vodka making my life worthwhile.
Why is it so hard for me to decide which I love more?
Vodka or...
Shrimp?

 

Do I love shrimp more than vodka?
Do I love shrimp more than vodka?

I like to use words like 'goober' and 'bushwa.'
I like to use words about vodka.
But when I stop my talking,
My mind turns straight to shrimp.

(Five six seven eight...)

I like to hang out with hobos and strangers.

I like to kick back with cops.
But when left alone,
My mind turns straight to shrimp.

 

Do I love shrimp more than vodka?
Do I love shrimp more than vodka?

 

(Five six seven eight...)

Do I love shrimp more than vodka?
Do I love shrimp more than vodka?

(Five six seven eight...)

 

Fade out…

If ANY of you can set this thing to actual music, I’m willing to go halvsies on royalties…

 

 

Trousseau/Hope Chest

 

 

This refers to the things a teen age girl would start collecting in anticipation of getting married. The chest itself could be very ornate or functionally plain. The contents varied a great deal, depending on the resources of the girl and her family. It was a custom in many countries dating back as far as the 6^th century in Egypt. It was also called a Dower Chest.

 

A lot of the items such as clothing, table linens, bed linens, quilts and towels would be worked on by the women of the family, including the girl. They would make these items special with embroidery and other needlework. These things could possibly be worked on for several years. The chest would need to be big enough for the contents and portable, since most girls took the chest with them when they married.

 

General list

 

Household linens as listed above (multiple sets for each type)

Underwear and nightclothes

Slippers, stockings and gloves

Aprons

“Personal” linens

Jewelry

Clothes for everyday use and some for special occasions

Sometimes china, silverware and glassware

Toiletries and hair care items

 

After the wedding, the chest would become part of the family furniture. Storage for extra blankets or bedding, also for storing the wedding dress.

 

A nice little custom from the past.
