hehehehe.... Kay,,, I did the same thing and that was a big deal back then.... pranking people on the phone. My g.ma had a party line with three families sharing. Each family had a different "ring" but all three could hear the other's ring. So when me and sister would hear someone else's ring we would sneak the receiver off the hook and listen. We never heard much of anything good (sally, did you make tater salad? no,,,, I just fried up some chicken) but it was funny when the others would "think" they heard someone listening. Me and sister would just snicker and giggle like we were really gettin' away with something.

That's a pretty good suggestion. I know a bunch up in Appleton, WI decided that they wanted to wear the 'halters' that other women wore in the town. They went to some place like Wal-Mart & bought bras & when they wore them in public, they were told that they couldn't wear this sort of thing in public. I really do think they were trying to imitate the American women & that's the best they could come up with??? ~J ----- Original Message ----- From: "jkaywojack" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 07, 2010 1:33 PM Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] [KYHeritageFolklore] Re: [HS] Roll Call > You would think so.

That was our way of being silly..and that's as far as it went. ~Jen in AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "*paula*" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 06, 2010 1:10 PM Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] [HS] Good old days.. >I sure wouldn't want to raise kids now.

Unbelievable that someone would plant a garden inside, they must have been desperate for food.

Finally the downstairs neighbors went up to check on what was happening & it seems that this family had brought in dirt & had planted a farm on their living room floor.

I don't blame the produce manager for bagging things up so this wouldn't happen again. My husband before he became a carpenter was a produce manager in several supermarkets in the Chicago area. He has told me about the refugees who came through the alley behind the stores & would pick through the garbage. Paul was always very particular about how his produce looked...so if something wasn't worth selling, he usually threw it away. His manager caught wind of what was going on & told my husband that he couldn't allow this to continue. So all that Paul could think to do is to make it so the produce wasn't appetizing. After he had thrown produce away, he would ask the butcher if he could have some of the sawdust on his floor in the back area. Paul would take the sawdust & dump it on top of the produce. That really made the people mad...but his boss had told him to stop the people from taking the produce. He really didn't have any other alternative. Regarding that poor dog...all I can say is I shuddered when I read that. I have heard that those people do eat dogs, so it probably did happen. Just thinking about that sort of thing, gives me the chills..but I'm a dog lover, so I probably am over-reacting. No, you probably wouldn't like it if you went back. My husband & I made a trip out to CA to find my Aunt in Hollywood. We found out after we got out there that she had died & her cousin from San Diego had come up to Hollywood & taken care of all of her business. It bothered me in that I had always been close to my Aunt & we had corresponded for years. For one reason or another this cousin really didn't care to tell any one about my Aunt's death. I had visited my Aunt & Uncle years before & they lived right off of Hollywood Blvd.on DeLonpre in Hollywood. Boy, had that place changed!! The fellows who had bought my Aunt's house had lived across the street in a rather run down home. At that time it looked as though they were doing a good job of running her home down too. As far as that goes, the whole neighbor was a mess. I sure wouldn't walk around at night in that part of Hollywood. I know this doesn't sound very nice..but the majority of the neighborhood was then Hispanic/Latino...that place had totally changed...and I was so surprised. ~J in AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Belle Shepherd" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 06, 2010 7:19 PM Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] [KYHeritageFolklore] Re: [HS] Roll Call > Southern California inthe late 60's and early 70's Home prices were still > reasonable.

I was one of those who called and asked if the refrigerator was running. However, I got caught because I called all the older folks in our community including a couple of my grade school teachers. Someone recognized my voice and called my dad (who was a teacher). Boy, did I ever get in trouble.

However, I doubt if either you or I or other people in our age category have all the diversions that the kids do today. I did things which took imagination...I didn't just sit in front of a TV or a computer or video games like some kids do today. Plus, if I were not home, I can guarantee you that I was out doing something that definitely wouldn't get me in trouble like the kids do nowadays.

Should you wish to see a good cross section of the human race, work in the Customer Service Dept. of any retail outlet. I once worked at Davison's in Atlanta. The store had a mail order service and Custemer Service had to handle their problems. One morning I went to my desk and a nice looking man was sitting in the customer chair and had a rather large box beside him. He was small in stature, very soft spoken and seemed on the verge of laughing everytime heopened his mouth. His story.. He had ordered underwear, shirts and shorts from the boy's departmen be cause of his size. "And this is what I received." he said as he opened the box and pulled out a size 44 corset, resplent with bones, stays, laces, garters, etc. He put it on, modeling for us. The garters reached the toes of his shoes. By then everyyone in the office was laughing as well as the other customers waiting to be served. Leaving the garment on my desk, I went with him to the boy's Dept and saw that he got the proper merchandise. He was given a full refund and the new things were charged to a Policy Adjust ment Acct. Belle

Belle, That's really something about the influx of refugees where you used to live in CA. I think a goodly portion of the United States got hit by the same thing. I think I have already mentioned this..but I wanted to go back into my old home before it was razed. The church behind our house had bought the house so they could use the property for extra parking. The first time I went by & stopped at the church, I asked the secretary if she had a key to the house..she said she couldn't find it. The following day when I went by the whole house was gone!! It was as though it never existed. I stopped & talked to some of the old neighbors who still lived there & they told me that it was just as well that I didn't see the inside of the house. The church had allowed a Vietnamese family to live in there & I guess they had torn the whole inside apart. My cousin who lives in Missoula, Montana was telling us about a refugee family who had moved into an apartment building on the second floor. The neighbors below couldn't figure out what was happening because they had water constantly coming through their ceilings. Finally the downstairs neighbors went up to check on what was happening & it seems that this family had brought in dirt & had planted a farm on their living room floor. They had all sorts of things growing..guess they even had corn! Of course, after the owner of the apartments found out, he asked the people to leave. From what he said, they had totally ruined the apartment & even though he kept their security deposit, it wasn't enough to pay for all the damage which these people had done. They may have not done it intentionally...but it certainly wasn't a very bright act on their part. I can believe that about the market. I don't blame the produce manager for bagging things up so this wouldn't happen again. My husband before he became a carpenter was a produce manager in several supermarkets in the Chicago area. He has told me about the refugees who came through the alley behind the stores & would pick through the garbage. Paul was always very particular about how his produce looked...so if something wasn't worth selling, he usually threw it away. His manager caught wind of what was going on & told my husband that he couldn't allow this to continue. So all that Paul could think to do is to make it so the produce wasn't appetizing. After he had thrown produce away, he would ask the butcher if he could have some of the sawdust on his floor in the back area. Paul would take the sawdust & dump it on top of the produce. That really made the people mad...but his boss had told him to stop the people from taking the produce. He really didn't have any other alternative. Regarding that poor dog...all I can say is I shuddered when I read that. I have heard that those people do eat dogs, so it probably did happen. Just thinking about that sort of thing, gives me the chills..but I'm a dog lover, so I probably am over-reacting. No, you probably wouldn't like it if you went back. My husband & I made a trip out to CA to find my Aunt in Hollywood. We found out after we got out there that she had died & her cousin from San Diego had come up to Hollywood & taken care of all of her business. It bothered me in that I had always been close to my Aunt & we had corresponded for years. For one reason or another this cousin really didn't care to tell any one about my Aunt's death. I had visited my Aunt & Uncle years before & they lived right off of Hollywood Blvd.on DeLonpre in Hollywood. Boy, had that place changed!! The fellows who had bought my Aunt's house had lived across the street in a rather run down home. At that time it looked as though they were doing a good job of running her home down too. As far as that goes, the whole neighbor was a mess. I sure wouldn't walk around at night in that part of Hollywood. I know this doesn't sound very nice..but the majority of the neighborhood was then Hispanic/Latino...that place had totally changed...and I was so surprised. ~J in AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Belle Shepherd" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 06, 2010 7:19 PM Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] [KYHeritageFolklore] Re: [HS] Roll Call > Southern California inthe late 60's and early 70's Home prices were still > reasonable.

I sure wouldn't want to raise kids now. Saw on the news where some junior high (pretty sure...it was not high schoolers) kids were texting (or "sexting") a nekkid picture one of the girls had sent to one of the boys. These kids are about 12 years old for corn sakes!! I was a very mature 12 year old out of necessity but even at that,,, I wouldn't have thought in a million years to show my bare nekkidness to any body. If someone would have asked me, likely I would have wondered what the hey-ell was wrong with them. I'm just mortified..... good luck and prayers to all who are dealing with youngers at the moment.... xoxoxo *paulette* formerly known as *paula* BECAUSE there is another paula on the only other list I am on and I don't want to have any corn-fusion so from now on y'all will see my birthname of *paulette* ... ~~~* ) ----- "jkaywojack" <[email protected]> wrote: | More power to you, I'm sure you'll do a great job.

*Paulette* What you said doesn't really shock me because I guess I could expect that of that age. I spent 3 yrs working in a Junior High & some of those kids can really blow you mind with some of the things which they pull. Nowadays the kids seem to get involved in things which we never would have done at that age. However, I doubt if either you or I or other people in our age category have all the diversions that the kids do today. I did things which took imagination...I didn't just sit in front of a TV or a computer or video games like some kids do today. Plus, if I were not home, I can guarantee you that I was out doing something that definitely wouldn't get me in trouble like the kids do nowadays. I have to agree with Belle that kids today have mixed values & standards. My husband & I were never fortunate enough to have children; however, I did notice how other people raised their children & I can tell you that I wouldn't have let my children do the things that they let their children do. The worst thing I can remember some of us doing was calling someone out of the phone book (you couldn't know them) & ask them if their refrigerator was running. If they said yes, then you told them they better hurry up & run down the block & catch it before it got away. That was our way of being silly..and that's as far as it went. ~Jen in AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "*paula*" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 06, 2010 1:10 PM Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] [HS] Good old days.. >I sure wouldn't want to raise kids now.

Southern California inthe late 60's and early 70's Home prices were still reasonable. Most people were clean and mannerly, traffic was heavy but manageable. Lots of clean stores and well landscaped yards, many open produce markets. When Viet Nam was over, things began to change, The influx of refugees began to swarm in the markets and get housing at a very low rate, less the half of what my son was paying as a California veteran. I had a favorite market between my work and home. One hight I was in the produce section and saw one of the refugees blow her nose on her long sleeve, then drug her arm through the bin of tomatoes. I told the produce manager and he started bagging the tomatoes and some other items to prevent this sort of thing. My daughter's friend had her pet poodle missing. After a lengthy investigation they found out that it may have been barbequed in the carport of a nearby apartment complex that rented to the refugees. I have grandchildren living there and they tell me that I wouldn't like it now.

Miss Belle , your grandson sounds so talented.I have a grandaughter that is simalarly talented,artistic.I always thought she would go in that directon.For a long time it seemed,she just wasted her talent on frivolous things.She finally started doing hair designs .Not exactly what I had in mind but her hair designs are doing well for her and she is always busy.

Sent: Feb 5, 2010 8:15 PM I sent this to you folks a long, long time ago but I think it is worth repeating. My aunt by marriage lived to be 96 years old. She was a 'keeper.' Her daughter in going through her boxes and bags found a doll fashioned out of odds and ends found around a small southern farm. She said it was the ugliest thing she had ever seen. She found out that her grandmother had made it when she was about 10 years old. My aunt was only 3 months old when her mother passed away, leaving the doll among her personal things. My cousin didn't want to throw the doll away so she wrote a small note telling who had made the doll, dates etc. pinning it on the doll's clothes. She then took it to an antique shop in Atlanta that dealt in 'folk art' pieces. A few days later she got a call from the shop. Seems a lady had come into the shop, went to the doll, picked it up and started crying. She had read the note and kept saying "This is mine, my family." She was a member of the Genealogical group in her County. She wrote an article about the doll and sent it to all members. Now, what led her to that particular shop among the many in Atlanta? My cousin says it was her mother on the 'other side' because she didn't want the doll to leave the family. What do you think?

My 9 year old son was quite an artist. We lived in Long Beach, California in 1957. There was a TV program hosted by Tom Hatten a professional cartoonist . Kids loved the program. One evening, Tom Hatten called and said hehad picked James cartoon as the 'winner' for the week , could I bring James to the Studio in Hollywood the next week, gave me directions, time, etc. Seems James had sent his drawing in without telling me. well, I got the day off and he was excused from school. All went well except he got tickled when they asked him to draw something on the board set up for him. He was a 'plump'nine yearold and his tummy under his striped Tshirt was very obvious. After the show they loaded my station with all kinds of stuff, candy, games, books, etc. The next morning I took him to school and his classmates were waiting for him. We gave a lot of the things away, there was so much. He still draws but spends time writing poetry, has had some published . Belle
