We would make ‘firecrackers’ from caps

Start by getting a sharp, straight, sewing needle. Next, poke the needle through the powder spot on the cap roll. Continue zig zagging the needle and aligning the powder. When the roll is threaded onto the needle take a single paper match to make a fuse. Put the match head on the ‘column’ of caps and use clear Scotch tape. Add nd wrap it tight around the cap. Carefully pull the needle and don’t let the whole works spring out. Use tape to compress it with the paper end of the match sticking out. That’s the fuse. It makes a firecracker a little stronger than a Black Cat

This is how we got firecrackers in a state they were banned

Careful that you don’t scratch with the pin. You’ll set off a hot flare in your fingers not an explosion


Lots of work to I make a single cap but what do ten year old kids in the ‘60s do all summer

We’d line up 5 or 10 cap rolls and race to see who could hammer them the fastest. This all would go on for a couple hours until we got yelled at to stop

Oh the memories
Love that! Great memories!!!
 
I am gonna stop ordering citrus with my grocery order

Do you all remember when I asked for 2 oranges and they brought 2- 5 labs of red grapefruit?

Well I ordered 3 oranges and they brought me oranges...... 2- 8 pound bags

What in all holy hell am I gonna do with 16 pounds of navel oranges

Hahahahahaha
When life give you oranges, ya gotta make lemonade….

Err… orange juice.
 
Mid 60s -early 70s.
Even small strokes can mess with personality. My mom has a small a few years ago, she refuses to get tests or treatment and for about 2yrs she was 25% mom and 75% this mean depressed person which she had never been before, then she came back.
My wife had an old neighbor like that. Just started getting all mean and ornery.

Turns out his testosterone was really low. Got treatment and then went back to normal behavior.

Nice!
Oh, but think of all the movies that would have drastically different storylines or *gasp* might never have been made if the Hollywood doctors knew about this... 🤫

 
I’ve been in a bad mood for 40 or so day actually. Ever since the time change… and I have a few things on my mind. And dealing with some stuff.

All in all I’m an ornery bastard.

I had to take it out on something, so for some crazy reason I decided today was the day for a deep clean of the kitchen and our bedroom.

I didn’t get as far as the bedroom but I did clean the helm out of the kitchen. Threw out a bunch of old stuff, just gonna buy a new drain board.

And I busted a pipe a pvc pipe on the kitchen sink drain. It was already leaking a tiny bit and by the time I was done with it, it was fucked.

I didn’t get as far as fixing that.

Tomorrow morning.

It’s always something. 🙄

Made veggie lasagna for dinner.

Gnight.

That... that sounds like a Very Full Day
🫂 that tomorrow is Positively Productive

PS - was going to ask your going rate for a kitchen clean... but then I kept reading 😬:LOL:

🫂 to @Mrswonderer as it's her kitchen, too

Nite, W
hope you sleep well
 
This should have been obvious to me. Since I started sleeping on a recliner, my cat is more frequently on my lap. Sometimes her weight is mostly on my intestines. I might have a pinch there. Trying to push fiber through a pinch may have backfired. But I am apparently less blocked now after two mugs of senna leaf tea. I forgot exactly where I bought the rhubarb tea, so I don't have that yet.

That could definitely be a factor.
If there's a traditional acupuncturist or herbalist in your area, you could try checking with them? You can get rhubarb tea online, but if there's a certain brand or style of tea???
🍀 on this journey
Glad the senna tea is helping some
 
Afternoon nap today so I'm off to bed a bit late
Sweet Dreams everyone

Good morning cafe denizens!

Here is an update from our dear Lili:

She has been sick and the recovery is taking longer than hoped. But she is getting better and completely focusing on her health. There is no need to worry and let’s keep sending her our best!
Thank you for the update. I have missed her presence but she is right to focus on her recovery.
