I'm a bad influence on ME

Sometimes you just GOTTA
You ever have those moments in life when you have to just make do with what you have?...I find moments like that make me thankful for having what I have and for the better days when they show up...
I remember when I was a kid, that at christmas time we got lots of handmade gifts....I still have a lot of mine...some of the best ones I ever got were like that.... There was one year I got a doll chest for christmas from my grandparents....I still have it...I found out after my grandmother died, that it was more than what it appeared... The doll chest is just a rectangular chest that stands on 4 little feet to raise it up off the ground and it is padded and covered in some sort of white naugahide looking material....I would put my dolls, and little doll clothes in it.....It is about 3 feet long and about 1 1/2 feet wide and doesn't even stand up 3 feet tall, it's just right for a little girl......It was originally made for a little girl....it was originally made for my grandmother...and she got it on Christmas morning , back during the Depression when she was the age I was, when I received it......Her daddy had made it out of bits and pieces of whatever what not he could find laying around town, and her mother padded and covered it to make it pretty, by using material from an old dress that was no longer useable....that material is still underneath the white that is on it today.... I also have a bird cage that a great uncle hand made from dowel rods, because his wife wanted song birds, she couldn't get outside during the day because she was in a wheelchair, he could afford to buy either the bird cage or the bird, so he made the cage and then bought her a bird to go in it, the bottom of the cage is an old biscuit pan....... I have lots of things like that, where the family has made do with what we had....what about you?...ever had those times when you just had to make do with what you had?... Ever tried to make coffe in the coffee pot with a paper towel as the coffee filter???? YIKES!! That was a mess!!

If you go over to the "you must be from the rez" thread...it's the same flavor. or- oh nevermind. let's start with coffee. NEVER.I do mean NEVER use a papertowel to make coffee. That said....if you think ahead (something you must do when things are scarce and you live on the rez) you can empty the last filter you used ,rinse it and dry it with your dishes and re use it next morning. If u have filter but no pot or no electricity u can take a glass put your filter on top and fold over the top of filter and rubberband it. Pour hot water into filter let coffee drain right into the glass or whatever container u have.I used a flower vase once.Don't ask. If you have NO filter and no pot....throw some coffee into a pan with water. boil and (sift if u must) just pour and drink. ![]() |

No offense, but...y'all are doing it wrong! I've used paper towels in place of coffee filters to make coffee many-a-time, and never had a problem.

comadre,
while we are on the topic of lessons..can you tell me why everyone keeps asking me these 4 questions: 1) What's your tribe? Now, I could understand this to a certain degree, because this is powwow.com, ... BUT, it seems like almost EVERY MALE that I've spoken to here has asked me this, and none of the women have asked, ...It's stood out as maybe someone's is joking around with me because of that...any clue?? Are these guys pulling on my legs like you said? 2) Why do I keep getting told, "You remind me of my grandmother" ? Am I missing something? 3)You really do know how to cook don't you? 4) How's your bead work coming along? Again, more guys than gals ask this...the only gals that ask about it are other ladies who have been on the beading threads..and by the way ladies, I REALLY appreciate all the tips and guidance you have given me and some of the guys too have been really nice and helpful...I have never seen men before that were interested in this kind of progress and quite honestly its rather refreshing .... So anyway, I'd appreciate a little insight...are these guys joking around with me and I'm just not catching on to it???

Now I just GOTTA ask!
Comrade, Trouble: what make you two glow? Are you two from the same rez? What's in the water that you two drink? Or is it from showering with special chemicals that make you two glow? Do you prefer to be called glow-sticks? What happens after the light goes out? Do you have to recharge by being in a freezer? Does one have to bend you to start glowing? I think that is enough, eh? |

We had well water stored by underground tank where I lived. Now I think I know where you are going with this. There were times that we had no water at all.Especially after the monsoons came through and because the roads washed out- we could not even access drinking water from the nearest city either.So the guys in our family would suck on tea bags for the caffeine. Us women would not try it.
Don't know if that is where you are going with this- but the lesson for trouble still stands cuz man I have had my leg pulled sooooo many times by you folks! LMAO!!!! |
