Off The Wall Stuff.

From my date of birth until eight or ten months of age, I was fed with Mother’s milk. Then came canned milk, it was called “Pet Milk” It came in a can and you added water and Karo syrup to it.

Not long after that, foods were crushed into a fine liquid.. Things like pees, beans, carrots, and other vegetables along with assorted fruits were prepared. Mother would lay these things on a clean cloth on the floor and cover them with another clean cloth, then crush them by walking on them. until it was all liquid. The cloth would then be rung out to collect the juices and what was saved in a container.

This is when Diarrhea was first introduced to me. Every since then, bathrooms, out door toilets have been one of the main things in my life. This was before toilet paper in rolls, But back then, Wards or Sears catalogs were free, Statistics tell us that only three out of every four babies managed to live past age one. The year was 1920, to the 30’s, so if you were born in that time frame, you and I are very lucky and very special people and should be treated as such!

To date, I have been un-successful in convincing anyone of that fact. This is the kind of stuff that enters your head after the sun’s rays have baked what was in your head and is one reason that bold people need to wear a dirty sock over their heads and inside their helmets to filter the rays that get through.

The best time to bang your head against the wall, is early in the mornings before you have that first cup of coffee loaded with cream and sugar. Well we all know what the coffee tastes like around here. “Guess I’ll never learn how to make it” Acid is another one of them dairy products that you need to avoid., butter is the main product where you usually find it.

Old hotel kitchens are out of style and old hotels often have a ghost or two hanging around. Did you ever hang your coat and hat on a hook when you entered a café and find it was still there when you were ready to leave? If you answered yes, Maybe who-ever usually takes them was out to lunch. I wonder, are they members of a union! “The Out to Lunch Bunch “ from stealing at a cafes.” (Did you Get It?) You had better pay attention as you might find something interesting here.

I have often wondered, why would anyone take just one of your overshoes, that you left at the entry way and it is always the left one that they take… When you whistle a dark cold room, does it sound different? What good are ear-muffs in a desert ? If there are no male or female worms, when do little worms come from? People that can see where they have been must be hind sighted! Yellow is a color. Red is a warning! People with out tail lights can’t be seen in the dark! Cats don’t howl at dogs, they Hiss. Why do Cats like cream, and dogs like peanut-butter. Questions like these really gum up one’s mind. Try putting peanut-butter on a pine cone and hang it from a limb of a tree for the squirrels. But you have to stay hidden because they will come after you if they see you! I have to return to the Institution right after lunch, they wouldn’t give me a week-end pass.

I know, I know, you have other things to do! So why are you wasting your time reading this stuff. Love is all the same, even if you are on the inside looking out!

Have to run, My keeper is coming
