    Measles?

    I had both kinds of measles when I was a kid, chicken pox, mumps and whooping cough. Those days the health dept. came and nailed a quarantine sign on your house until you were passed the danger of passing it on. I again had measles when I was in my 20's but my kids never caught i from me. I...

    Pickling question

    Ridge, yes 24 hours gave them enough time to give them the flavor I like. After two days the texture changes and gets more rubbery. At the pub by the end of the evening the 4 dozen eggs had pretty much disappeared :).

He was such a caring person...

    Straight Men And Bed Linens

    How many do this anymore, when I was young beds were made first thing in the morning then top sheet and blanket/bedspread were folded back and the bed left to air for a couple of hours and then remade. Once a week top sheet replaced bottom sheet, bottom sheet was washed.
