Heh, I could bore you all to death with countless stories, but I won’t for now. At least not too much
Of course, to all who took umbrage, I realize I neglected to put a smiley face emoticon near the beginning of what I though would be an amusing squib. In reality, I have not been in a bar for several years, unfortunately, but I really have no objection to bartenders of any gender at all.
Women have been gathering at coffee klatches, bridge parties, et all to complain about how awful men are since just after they left the Garden of Eden, but the old-timey bars where men could do the same about the womenfolk are gone. Except, maybe in Canada.

As to the peeing subject, I lived in japan back in 1948-9 where many of the houses had a benjo (toilet) that consisted of nothing more than a hole in the floor. Underneath was a “honey bucket” which was collected for the contents to used for fertilizer. I refrained from eating raw veggies while there.
I was talking to a youngun the other day, when the subject of how I shoveled coal into the pot-bellied stove puzzled him. He had not only never seen coal, but didn’t even know what it was. So I then asked him if he knew why we say “dialing” a phone, and of course he had no idea. When we first lived in Vermont, we were on an eight-person party phone line. Anybody know what that was?
I traveled all over the U.S. and Japan on trains that were pulled by steam locomotives. And, anybody ever see a steamroller and a steamshovel?
I spent two years in Fairbanks in 1945-7 in the Air Corps 10th Search & Rescue mushing a dog team all over the Interior. A perpetual hunting and fishing experience. Best damn assignment in the entire Army. Yeah, back then it was the “Army Air Corps.”
I am so old, my first computer ran on kerosene. (Oh, jeeze, I suppose none of you know what kerosene is) I lived in NYC at the time the Empire State Building was completed. However, the Brooklyn Bridge was built before my time.
All in all, I do still get nostalgic about the times of my youth, but as I contemplate life in the Great Depression, living through WWII, the lack of modern medical marvels, the lack of modern conveniences etc, I realize the “good old times” were not that good at all.
OK, youngsters, ask me anything about life in the 20s, 30s and 40s, but dammit, keep off my lawn!
