F Minus by Tony Carrillo for December 13, 2017

she needs a stick (or a bar of soap) in one hand and a pocketknife in the other

And we LIKED it!

It was much needed rest between making kids.

Much better when you have a campfire.

Better than walking into people, fountains, etc…

Sorry, but I didn’t hear you. I was paying attention to my breathing and digestion.

Well back then, people went outside and did things and kids played outside. Now everyone cocoons in their house and there is nothing to see outside.

Hey, I enjoyed this when I had a porch to sit out on. My ex and I had one at the apartment we lived in. Sometimes we liked to sit together and sometimes I wanted to sit there alone while he was at work. Although for a while there was a girl across the street that was spoiling my alone for a while because she was coming over EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I came out to sit on the porch. I finally had to tell her to limit her visits to a few times a week because sometimes I just wanted to be alone. With no one. She stopped coming over all together. Which was fine with me. She’d talk about such minute little details that I didn’t give a flying fig about.

Expectations were much lower prior to mass media.

Air conditioning killed the front porch.

Yeah, and the really fun stuff hasn’t even started … yet.

It wasn’t all they needed, they also shelled peas.
