bottomless pit.

GREAT suggestion, but digger already has a copyright on that name for his outhouse. :constipat:dancingpoop:

LMAO, if it weren't for it being trademarked, I'd call that the In N' Out.

So when does your lease on Digger's outhouse basement expire, Rolex? Did you really fall for the unique summer home line he's been handing out?

 

[Rolex]

LMAO! Damn, that's bad.
The major selling feature for me, damp basement aside, was that it was right next to the BBQ pit.

i can remember when the price of a gal of gas was 1/3 the octane

digger provides me with free gas twice a day to heat my basement. lighting it really freaks him out.

But ya never wear any underwear bro!

Walk in and you're standing there with a goofy smile on your face and a lighter. It's scary as hell.
I've been in the lounge after ya let one loose. :whhooo:

Don't have an outhouse, but I remember them. Had indoor plumbing where I grew up. My grandfather had indoor plumbing. Seems like he was always using the outhouse.

After I got older I can see with all the women in the house, he just needed a second bathroom.

 

[hamz9561]

And somewhere away from all the women-folk, Digger. My grandpa would just go out to his office, turn off his intercom and then turn off his hearing aids.

When I was a kid we'd spend 3 months out of the city in the Summer House. No running water, there was a hand pump. No indoor plumbing, there was an outhouse...2 holer though.
No electricity, we used kerosene lanterns.
No air conditioning or TV, but it was pure country. LOVED it.

 

[hamz9561]

Up at the lake house in the North Woods of Wisconsin, we did have indoor cold running water and a 2-hole outhouse with a magazine rack. We got to listen to NPR for an hour every morning when I was kid.

OK... What is "NPR?"
What is it with a 2 hole outhouse? Bad enough not having indoor plumbing. But they used to call it a privey.

Getting back on the over 40 thing.
I'll see somebody that knows me. We'll talk for 30 minutes or so. 'Ol lady asks, Who was that? I honestly have no clue.
This weekend I saw someone I knew. He said hello, I asked how have ya been.
Most of the time if I'm in that situation the other person will say something so we can carry on a conversation for a few minutes...
That way I don't feel stupid. Not this time...

Man i felt like an ass. The guy probably thought I was being rude. Just a senior moment.

Took me 4 days to figure out who he was. I still feel bad.

 

[hamz9561]

NPR is National Public Radio. Our privy also had electric lights in addition to the magazine rack.

Are you serious? We had to take a flashlight.
You really lived in the lap of luxury, so don't ever tell YOUR kids you had it tough when you were their age.

I just stumbled on this....




I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip

replacement,

New knees and diabetes. I'm half blind,

Can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,

Take 40 different medications that

Make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.

Have bouts with dementia...

Have poor circulation;

Hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.

Can't remember if I'm 89 or 98.

Have lost all my friends. But, thank God,

I still have my driver's license.



I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape,

So I got my doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start

exercising.

I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors.

I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for

an hour.

But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.



My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.



Know how to prevent sagging?

Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.



It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffee maker.



These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says,

"For fast relief" Oh NO, Lord, I’m old...Love, Lois

My long term memory has always been amazing, but my short term memory is.....
Damn, what did you ask me? Last Thursday, probably.

I got 15. I'm gonna blame it on growing up in the '70's. There are a few years in there that are kinda fuzzy.
