All they have to do is to tell the Spirit to leave to go to Heaven. If they could find out the guys name it would be better to address him by name. At least he is a happy ghost. I have a ghost in my house in White Settlement. He just moves things. Very exasperating when you know exactly where you put something at it isn't there. I would tell a friend and show her the spot and what was missing. She would have the job of checking to see if the object had returned. It would take several months sometimes for objects to re appear or I would find them in a strange place-like the attic! I initially thought one of my cats was carrying off things. My really smart pit bull would act like she would hear something-she had ears like AWACS-and go looking and no one would be there. Her hair would bristle until she found no-one. I used to call it my "Indian Spirit" because it was usually something Indian being hidden.

________________ Is anyone familiar with (?) sheep shire weeds? I'm not sure how to spell it. They resembled a four-leafed clover and were sour. We would pick them and put them in a quart jar and bury them in the dirt. The idea was to come back later (I don't know how long it took) and the sheep shire weeds would have turned into wine. We never could find where we buried them so I don't know if it worked. Bettye (Mrs. Max G.) Maupin - Rolla MO I don't know what fry bread is.

Tamara, My dad used to mention that after talking about cooked icing. His mother,a Vaclavik, was really a good cook like from the old country-Bohemia. My mother is the Maupin off spring. It is amazing how differently things were done from North to South. The Vaclaviks were from Michigan and didn't arrive until 1875.

See where the water would run if you have a washer and dryer in the house. I was cussing out the guy who laid the tile in my parent's house because of the gap under the door to the garage from the laundry room-was replacing the threshold. Well, the water ran under the door and through the wall into the garage. Had some into the kitchen but about sixty gallons went into the garage! The laundry room floor also slopes to the garage.

I washed a hand crocheted bedspread that I used as a table cloth at Christmas. I washed it on gentle with Woollier and then covered three parallel clothes lines with sheets to drape it over to dry in the shade. It was sooooo heavy. I did think about women and washing and how they coped with it. My washer has been running over at the wall. We are having a huge fight with our home owners insurance carriers in TX over mold issues. Farmers is leaving 700,000 of us next year. I stand some where close to the washer because when it rinses,spins,or drains I have to shut it off three times to let the water drain from the drain line and not run down the wall and out into the kitchen and garage-already had sixty gallons fill the previously mentioned. I have snaked it three times and knew it would be animal hair that I retrieved. All other drains are doing fine. Had three baskets full and out of underwear so had to start washing. A friend offered to lend me her old timey butter churn looking washer with the ringer in between. I have an old double sink kind that had the ringer mounted in the middle. It looks like it was never used. Thought about using that but cannot find anything to fit the drains. Have whittled corks down to the circumference of the drain hole. Decided to use the washer and listen for the rinse and drain cycles. What a pain!!!! (When I was in college I washed in the tub and hung stuff on a wooden drying rack-that wasn't too long ago either) Lynn > [Original Message] > From: Rosamundi4 <Rosamundi4@dragonbbs.com> > To: <MAUPIN-CHAT-L@rootsweb.com> > Date: 11/1/02 9:18:32 PM > Subject: Re: [MAUPIN-CHAT] clotheslines > > I have clothes lines but usually use them when dryer is down or for large > items like quilts.

I have been battling a squirrel all summer. She has eaten three complete clotheslines or used them to build a nest. I finally switched to a plastic coated clothes line and she stopped. I even bought squirrel corn but it was nest building she was interested in. Now the leaves are falling, I see bits of line she has dropped on the way back to her nest. I have bird houses on the back porch. The sparrows have had FIVE families a piece. They have made a mess hauling stuff and then remodeling for the next brood. It is really funny because they get into really big arguments in the middle of the night. I wonder which gender is yelling and why!

Did anybody see "Frontier House" on PBS back in the Spring? They selected three families to live in a cabin for five months,circa 1850,in Montana. The men felt "self-actualized" the women were exhausted and the kids were grateful when they returned to "civilization". The kids were bored with their lives when they returned. The women never stopped cooking and washing and griping!!! They could not wait to take a shower,and use the washer and dryer.

Dear All, I have wondered how TX ever got settled. It is so hot!! How did people tolerate the heat with no A/C. My house in White Settlement is situated N to S on the lot. Open a window on the N and the front door on the S. It is under several big trees that are trimmed in such a manner as to promote the breeze-trim off all branches near the ground as possible, trim all suckers and trim to the terminal limbs on those you can reach from the ground or the roof. The house stays cool until the really hot part of the day. If I did not get the heat from the patio and driveway and street it would be even cooler. My friend who lives out in the country never turns on her A/C except when it is over 95 degrees. She is under at least 50 oak trees. The temp at her house is always ten to fifteen degrees cooler than it is in town. I can remember being five years old and living in Florida. I can remember not being able to sleep because it was so hot. We had no breeze,no shade, no fans,and it was sticky. On the Keys it was some better but you could not shower until the wee hours because water was piped over land-too hot. I remember the Palmetto bugs crawling on everything-screens,laundry hanging out to dry,cars,etc. YUK!!!!
