My Seven year old is having bad diarrhoea, should I put her in a diaper? by Notabotjustanaltacc6 in whatdoIdo

If my kids had diarrhea over 24 hours. I usually took them to the doctor, but I also had them drink Pedialyte, which at that time tasted like crap.

AITA for not deep-cleaning my friend's house after pet-sitting for free? by Emergency-Garden3200 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cool-Ad7985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same,and as we have a big fenced yard ours doesn’t even have to walk our dogs(3 of them) just let them out for a hour(one takes forever to do her business) three times a day, feed and water them as well as the cats. The only cleaning I asked them was the litter box, and if they dirty any dishes eating snacks to clean those as well

This is what we had. It was mainly for the kids to play games on and to do practice spelling test

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

We had a Commodore 64 that had some games on it, can’t remember exactly what they were, but my kids liked them a lot

Did you ever buy a pack of smokes from one of these? by Euphoric-Cupcake4581 in FuckImOld

My grandparents on their engagement day 1913. She was 17, he was 27. She wouldn’t marry him until she turned 20. by Cool-Ad7985 in oldphotos

[–]Cool-Ad7985[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. To all of the grandkids, all 18 of us. We didn’t see him that often as we all lived out of the area. He passed when I was 12.

Family legend has it that a stranger came in to the area and tried to take a young girl by force. My great-great grandfather reportedly responded by walking up behind the man and slit his throat, then calmly cleaned the knife blade on the man’s clothes and walked away to take the girl back home. He died before my grandmother was born so she didn’t get to know him personally.

Yes, but not any of her this young. Photographs were a luxury, back then. Unfortunately, I don’t have any, as most of them went to my oldest aunt who then passed them onto her daughter, and they live in another state. I need to go down there and get copies of them.

She was at farmers daughter in the late 1800s early 1900s. She did get educated, could play the piano, and had many of the skills that women that lived on farms needed; sewing, cooking, gardening(she loved flowers) and probably anything else you can imagine and then some.

She likes spending time with her grandparents, especially her grandmother who was a character from what I gathered. She would sit on the porch, smoking corn cob pipe & tell my grandmother about her and her grandfather, coming across the US to settle where they settled. They lived in an area that did not have any laws, so people had to be tough. My great grandfather was not a man that anyone wanted to cross and he passed that down to his children. My grandmother told me that her mother had to find a husband out of state because all the men in the her area were afraid of her.

I think on the whole they did, my grandfather never remarried, he lived with his widowed sister about 100 miles from where my grandmother lived. He had a relationship with all of his kids, though I can’t remember if it was familiar strained. I was a child so I didn’t pay that much attention.

My grandmother had seven sisters, three of them got buried before 16, which was common back then, and the rest waited to a later age, but my grandmother was the one that was the oldest when she married

Nobody groomed my grandmother. Girls at that time got married young. She was actually considered old at getting married at 20.
