[QUOTE="Lil, post: 732776, member: 17309"] Fun Thread! Have you ever hung laundry on an old-fashioned outdoor clothesline? [COLOR=#0000ff]Yep, as a kid.[/COLOR] Have you ever washed laundry in an old-fashioned wringer washing machine? [COLOR=#0000ff]Yep! Also as a kid. :) Mom had one.[/COLOR] Have you ever changed an old-fashioned cloth diaper with safety pins and rubber pants? [COLOR=#0000ff]No![/COLOR] Have you ever given a spanking? [COLOR=#0000ff]Eh...not really. I can say I've given a swat...but not a "real" spanking. They really didn't work on my kid. Got a few though. [/COLOR] Have you ever washed floors on your hands-and-knees using a bucket and cloth? [COLOR=#0000ff]Scrub brush...not a cloth.[/COLOR] Have you ever canned fruit and vegetables? [COLOR=#0000ff]No, but I'd love to learn.[/COLOR] Have you ever starched and ironed a shirt? [COLOR=#0000ff]I've used starch, and I sew, so I iron, but not a shirt. :)[/COLOR] Have you ever started a fire using two sticks [COLOR=#0000ff]Why would anyone do this? There are matches, lighters, magnifying glasses...way more simple ways to start a fire than sticks. LOL [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]I've camped tons...and not the cowboy way - the medieval way. We have real furniture when we camp! I have done the sleeping bag on the ground thing - wow is it uncomfortable! So I've cooked over an open fire. Has anyone here ever cooked on a wood stove? I haven't...but another thing I'd like to try. I've milked a cow by hand and skimmed the cream and made butter. Has anyone done that? I've also plucked a chicken. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
