I remember them. I think you're the first to remember it here, though. When I was a kid we'd go to visit relatives, outhouse was the only option. Gotta be a codger to think of that! Lol

My Quaker meeting has two double outhouses still, but they have been kept as part of the historical nature of the meeting house and are no longer 'occupied'. Not all that different from the plastic Porta-potties that grace building sites and ball fields these days, but far more attractive in their own way. I have one next to the barn also that is now being used as a tool shed.

Worked with Old Man Jack...That was his standard answer to "How you doing?"
I learned a lot from that man. Still have some old tools he gave me 35 years ago.
my mom used to refer to us kids behaving as anxious 2-year-olds as having "kitten conniptions". The phrase doesn't appear to have been in common usage though 'having a kitten' does to describe being anxious.

I still have a Craftsman 1/4" wrench that my dad gave me for my 6th birthday (I was into repairing old console radios from the 30's and 40's which my dad would buy for me at local country auctions.

While I was a deckhand on the river, I had a First Mate who would often say (when things were going from bad to worse),... "Well fvck me runnin".
I'm all in. As in, I am pooped. As in, I'm exhausted.
