Ugh, I was always a dismal failure with the squat toilets! Love some of the toilet tatoos.

Just two good ole' boys who knew what "real" parenting was all about. I am thankful that I had a father who wasn't afraid he wouldn't be my friend. He didn't care if I liked him or not, as long as I turned out okay! Bet yours felt the same way! Thanks for sharing! :)

thank you Big_Joe!

WOW !!! What a good story. I think our dad's must have been brothers...

Excellent!!!

I would be one of those who would topple lol... but you do make a point about staying fit. I will really have to work on my balance if I come across one of those!

You're funny, Joe... :)

Next time I'll tell them to serve the sauce on the side, in a nice way of course.

it took me a few 'not' knots :) before it came back to me but the bracelets were a big hit !!

I haven't been back to Germany in 25 years, Marianne, so I can't answer your question. However, the sauce should be served on the side.

thanks so much Big_Joe for stopping by and also for your fine comments...

This is fascinating. TYVM

Great article. When I looked around the local Book Store I saw something interesting. No really NEW authors. Those that are published tend to be the so-called "Celebrities". Fiction writers tend to be people who have worked in the Mainstream - Media or other establishments. Thus they "toe the party line" and you can never really believe it when they write something that reflects an historical fact.

Many Celebrities apparently have "ghost writers" and thus are just a sales front.

People on TV tend to disparage Lulu et al as being "merely Vanity Publishers".

Publishing to Kindle format is easy but needs a little forethought.

Everyone should be able to publish their writing.

Many writers say that getting published by a publishing house is the easy part after that comes the hard work of doing the promotions for only "Celebreties" get an advance that means anything.

Very good article on Digital Basics. Well researched and written. A 'wealth' of information and placed in basic language so anyone reading can understand. Good job...

This is such a good reminder. I had completely forgotten how to make these knots
