I still say "where to put it" everytime I try to reorganize this big old house :o) I never knew there was something strange about that saying :o) I believe manufacturing of those days, is a lot different than now. I wouldn't let a child chew on one these days of industry. It all changed drastically about 13 years ago, maybe a little bit longer ago than that. I think the more they try to make things safer, the worse it's getting. I was just talking to a local pastor, who wanted me to take the church service at the nursing home this Sunday, about the past vs. today's more modern processing_we both agreed that the past was safer :o) The "Gum Bands" even smelled differently back when we were kids. :o) Lynn Don wrote: Another think Mom would say was "where to put it" for where should I put it. She had lots of good sayings like that, and little by little they are coming back to me. I can remember chewing the gum bands also, isn't it amazing that we did stuff like that and we are still living, we didn't get any strange diseases from that?
