The Old Folks Home

[Alaskan]

Heading to Elmer's Barn today (it's like an antique mall except very low class). Have a date with a friend to look for awesome christmas gifts there.

sounds like fun, I like those kinds of places. I have to spend the whole time in them chanting to myself "but where would I PUT it?" to make sure I don't buy stuff

SCG Does that mean you would settle for an outhouse instead of indoor potty?

 

[Alaskan]

outhouses are great in the summer time....

but in the middle of a blizzard...well...there better be a honey pot.

I think so. I covet my time soaking in the nice hot bath a lot more than I cover the toilet.

I mean, preferably I'd have both but if I had to choose...

We saw one house for sale that had a bath tub on the deck. Maybe i can get a portable model.

Reminds me of the time I was wishing our minister happy birthday and asked him how old he was going to be. He told me 58 and groaned. I told him, 58 wasn't bad, I was turning 50 myself that year. 58 officially was still middle aged. He shook his head and asked me "How many 116 year olds do you know that are still alive?" Pretty much ended the conversation.

I've heated water on the stove for our tub back in Illinois more than once. Our water pressure sucked coming from our hot water heater. By the time you got it filled it was cooling off. I'll do the same thing here when we get a tub installed. Easy over the winter months. Just set big kettles on the stove and let the wood heat do the work.

Yeh CF it is called a kiddie pool.....
I'd much rather have an indoor toilet than a tub....it is easy to find something to bathe in....even a sink, but not real keen on those outside johns....modern or old time........I've seen black widows in both....
