If people did this today Facebook would be littered with petitions to stop them, yet when it's done a century ago it's kinda cute and cool instead of brutal and cruel.
Hope everyone had a wonderful day!

We are getting further away from our natural instincts by the day.

I still do this to this day. I live by the "Old time" standards that my Parents raised me with. Better living if you ask me!

I have been buying a fresh turkey for years, ever since we had one of those injected with c*** Butterball type and it didn't smell right when it thawed and certainly when I had it in the oven. Was rancid. We had Chinese takeout that Thanksgiving.

My grandpa told the turkey he just needed a few feathers to make a feather duster.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
