My favorite brother sent me a photo within email and he chose the subject line, “Ain’t this the truth!”
It was a photo of a large, yellow Tupperware bowl with the caption: For Sale, vintage Tupperware foot bath/meat defroster/puke bucket/potato salad/popcorn bowl.
I replied back something like, “ha” or my favorite, “heh.”
What I really wanted to say is this…
- Mom had Tupperware bowls but the big one she had when we were kids was green.
- I never saw anyone wash their feet in it.
- It **might** have been used to defrost meat.
- It certainly held it’s share of popcorn.
- To my knowledge, Mom’s never made potato salad in her life.
- WERE YOU EVEN ALIVE WHEN WE WERE KIDS?
- OUR PUKE BUCKET WAS A MEDIUM SIZED PINK TRASH CAN!
Last I saw of that pink puke bucket/trash can, it had been used so many times it had black tape holding it together at the top. How vivid is your own recollection about your family’s puke bucket?
Remember those before and after photos I promised of the 1/2 bath rework?
Welp… I will count this as a failure. I don’t have a “before” photo — thought I did so I didn’t take another. And an after? Taking a photo of an extremely small 1/2 bath from any angle is nearly impossible. Oh, you can take one — but don’t expect to capture much.
The “GIMME WALLS” project is moving at a snail’s pace.
The ceiling wood is up on 3 of the 4 walls. The main progress yesterday was one window’s trim was completed, a short strip of wall trim where the boards meet affixed, and corner trim — in ONE corner — was secured.
It’s going to be 1 week longer than he told me — no doubt about it at this point.
TIL (Today I Learned): Helium, the kind we suck from balloons at parties, is a finite, non-renewable resource that’s only recoverable in a few locations around the world. It’s also needed for MRIs, microchips, and fiber optic cables.
