Using outhouses and chamberpots wasn't 'an adventure'. The number of women and babies lost to childbirth was heartbreaking. Dying of now easily treatable diseases and 'natural causes' that came along with old age being considered something that killed you in your 50's or 60's was no picnic either. Basic sanitation and simple medical care saves so many lives that people that don't realize how magical it is to just turn a knob and get a hot bath have no concept. No, I didn't grow up in the back of beyond, but I spent a few summers there in the 60's (no electricity, no running water), and lugging every drop of water used in from a pump outside is no fun after the first trip, having to end your day when the sun goes down is a PITA, and outhouses? Well, if they've never used one they'll never get it and Porta-potties are not the same evil, no matter what some people may think. And I think you're right, many people could return their brains for refunds because they've never been used!Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296523015389474516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385341912889245802.post-78405746227223994192012-04-18T21:29:32.549-05:002012-04-18T21:29:32.549-05:00Wow Sheila, this is a perfect post.

I was talking about this with my mom not too long ago and we named many of the things that people used to do that were more "green" than people today ever even think about. I am going to e-mail this, it deserves to be read.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227031297442552412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385341912889245802.post-82937715567952962062012-01-19T02:05:46.812-06:002012-01-19T02:05:46.812-06:00Great post!Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
