    A whole load of manly skivvies mistakenly washed with one red shop towel will all turn a bright pink! No amount of subsequent washing and bleaching will turn them white again! Don't ask me how I know this.

    Thank you Lord for modern air conditioning, we had a swamp cooler unit when I was a youngster. It put out cold air, but it had a "shock hazard" every time you touched it plus the high humidity air would cause mildew thought out the house.

    A woman prepares dinner near Marshall, Texas in 1939. She is either the wife or the daughter of a sharecropper. I look at this photo and feel guilty for every time I've ever complained about anything in my life. There are a bunch of us, me included, who could use a healthy dose of perspective!

    I just got a sub from a place that I have been to many times before. Today the person put all the vegetables in the bun and put the meat on top. What kind of psychopath does that?
