I feel the pain just as you have in reliving the experience. It is terrible how we are traumatised as youngsters.

And the worst part is always how it is uphill both ways!!

 

Do you remember that wonderful chemical taste from drinking out of the hoses, especially those black ones with the ridges running lengthwise down them? Certainly wouldn't be related in any way to anything we experience today ... they were all "good for you" chemicals back in the days of our youth.

 

To have a proper tool for removing olive pits would have been a dream for my adventure. Paring knife was my primary choice for tools, and if I didn't want to use the paring knife I could always choose to use the paring knife instead (if in fact I didn't mind using the paring knife instead).

 

It was "fun".

 

 

The Civil Defense added (with their scare tactics lessons to shock us children to help us mem ber good safety practices.

 

Member when we just said mem ber for remember?) a good lesson to remember, EVEN TODAY IS, about the water coming out of the faucet's.

 

Let the water run for a whole 60 seconds (or one whole minute whichever comes first) to clear out the chlorine smell, OR ANYTHING ELSE. FOR THAT

 

to MATTER, and then the water from the sink or hose could be clean enough to drink. After which I spent hours boiling water, then refrigerating it. So it was cool to drink out of the frig and it is always better drink too!

 

 

No, but I do memember when I used to say memember ... it wasn't even seconds ago so it was real easy to memember that one.

 

Come on Paga ... give me a tough one!!

 

I agree on letting 'er run for a bit. I'm so old school that I use the same drinking implement that my ancestor used 50,000 years ago. I only have two of them (baring some sort of dismemberment type accident I'll have those same two the day I die). Best part is I can use the same drinking implements to do lots of stuff (though I guess I do favour the right one over the left for most tasks). I'm facing west and waving one at you now ... can you see??

I'll go check the street view and see if the view of you appearing to be about to fall forward, overboard, and straightening up each time you wave implements in your hands, and the waves rock the boat at the same time. I think it might get some attention on YouTube :laugh: if you show off your skill at appearing to fall, lean way over, while actually standing upright all the time while the boat tips and leans under you. :happy: Landlubbers wouldn't understand. They might get a :laugh: out of it.

Sailboats are strange things, and difficult for the uninitiated to understand.

 

When you see one almost laying on her side she's at her best ... "rail down and a bone at her teeth" in sailorspeak. The sailors themselves are another matter, some less enamoured with the "rail down" part than others, though it is pretty universal about the "bone at her teeth" part being the best.

 

In any case all need to adhere to the golden rule ... one hand for you and one hand for the boat.

 

The old girl shook me loose once. I was lucky that time (rare occasion of sailing with crew). She didn't do it with malice ... the captain tried to get away with two hands for the boat.

I can't even go on a boat or might get sea sick :sick: :sick: :sick: , not just a little i get dizzy.

 

Although i enjoy fishing on a boat a no go :sick: :sick:

[Deleted54170User]

Wow! Don't you know about what the cause of motion sickness, known as air sickness, and sea sickness and how to avoid suffering from it?

Believe it or not I get seasick in rough weather, but only when I need to go down below. When underway in the rough stuff it will sometimes take me five or more trips into the cabin to make a couple of sandwiches for lunch or plot my position on the chart. As long as I'm on deck and can see the horizon I'm fine, providing I haven't overstayed my limit down below and crossed over the invisible line between vertigo and seasick.

 

The worst was when I was moving my boat to Gore Bay from Kettle Point near the south end of Lake Huron, an overnight trip and then some. As usual back then I was alone and in the afternoon the wind faded and motoring was the order of the day to make any speed. By nightfall the wind picked up out of the north, right on the nose. It was rain on and off and dark clouds with no moon, just utter darkness all around.

 

To say I was glad to see the morning is an understatement. Once I was sailing again all was well, and by afternoon the wind had backed far enough to lift me to my intended course for Mississaugi Strait at the west end of Manitoulin Island. By 4am I was laying 10 miles south of the strait and the wind was next to nothing. I laid ahull until daylight and motored through the strait and into the North Channel. Fifty-three hours after leaving Kettle Point I was secured to the dock in Gore Bay.

 

Yes I was one tired sailor at that point.

Wow! Stryker879. You too! You really don't know what the reason for motion sickness is and how to prevent it?

Ah ... but there you are wrong Paga. I know the cause of my seasickness. My inner ears and eyes operate in two different parallel universes and the slight timing differences between the two result in my stomache being unsure if it's breakfast time, or supper (so then it wants me to lose my lunch).

 

Quite simple really. :laugh:

[Deleted54170User]

I comprehend your apprehension. Concerned that you may have something more serious. When in truth you're letting yourself suffer for 364 days from the condition.

 

Since you have cooked a meal or two I imagine you've had contact with several Herbs and Spices.

 

I imagine you've eaten a few versions of cookies over the holidays. One in particular when celebrating with a little house with the little bread men who represent Hansel and Gretel.

 

You probably ate the arms, and the smile with two dots for eyes on the head, and never even stopped to wonder if the contents of the cookie had anything that kept your legs from wobbling or your head from swimming. After only one or two of those little men you raced around the house chasing about like the wind was in your sails and you were born for the great outdoors.

 

The name of that particular cookie holds the secret to one of our lifelong mysteries. Just like about every book on Earth written by a woman for children, especially for her favorite little daughter.

 

We men didn't have such attentions because we were not women. The secret ingredient for the leveling of our land so when we've drunk so much, as long as we can hold onto one blade of grass and not fall off the Earth we're well enough to get up and swim home. When the world is spinning round and round and we're caught inside the whirlwind face down on a platter spinning as though we were on top of a top spinning madly. Sometimes, even with a full belly, we didn't heave ho. Why? You might ask.

 

The answer is what the little bread man says to us all the time. It's a secret ingredient. The ingredient we children shout when we see that little guy about to wave hello. We say his name and then we grab him and never winch and don't even say goodbye.

 

Weaving through the woods at a half past 12 the world seems gay because it's half way through the day, and those little houses, and little men all ready for the after supper event are inside the houses whose windows release those cooking smells rouses our nose to the smell.

 

We barely stagger, we barely feel a gurgle in our gut, as we journey by holding that jug that either Dad was sharing and was almost empty or it was just dear old Dad heading in to get another from the ice box. That whiff of the aroma in the air of the one little house and tiny cookie men seemed to straighten our spine, give our joints a bind, and we felt stronger then before.

 

So we stood there, erect, near the cook and didn't even burp. That was swell, because wifey dear neither got upset or laughed at our boyish swelled belly's blight.

 

Because the aroma, that swell smell, even knocks the scent of the swill from our lips from kissing that jug. Even straightens us up all the way down beneath our knees so our feet know the floor below is steady as a rock and smooth sailing occurs all the rest of the day.

 

Drunker than snot and still not a weave, a wave, a spin, or a roll. All because that one spice on that one day, during that whole day of cooking for the special occasion keeps us from slipping and falling out the door and up into the sky.

 

She said; if you go honey, remember when you asked me to marry you, you promised me the Moon?! That sheepish loving smile on your lips under the bright bulb your nose all lit even shines brighter than before.

 

She said; Well then, on your way when you go, bring it back if yo can, while you up there get a star for the top of the tree. Would you honey?! Please! In the strange mood you're in you gave her a smile with a great big toothy grin.

 

And you danced a skip and a hop, out the door. You got a few feet from the back of the shed where you drank and smoked. When just about the time you reached the place where you were about to sit some fresh air slipped up your nose. You set the jug on the end table.

 

The fresh air, shared with you some old, remembered, new feelings. There you were without a care in the world and the air lifted your senses. Suddenly you took off like a rocket. Straight to the moon. Because the sudden change from the wonderful aroma didn't quite reach as far as your favorite chair. You were still filled to the top with that aroma mixed in with the air out there where it used to be filled with gloom. And Whoosh!

 

You suddenly flew.

 

No; not spun, not swam, not fumbled, or stumbled. You flew like a bird and rocketed to the Moon.

 

And you even remembered to bring back a Star to top the Tree in the house. All decorated and ready for the little children's presents full of dreams. All because of that little cookie man and his secret name. Well, I won't say it, until it's time. You shouldn't either.

 

You might spoil the chance of having a dance when you've drank down to the bottom of the jug twice or more. You should save that secret ingredient for the special occasion once a year. Rather then keep your head on high and your feet steady on the ship.

 

Afterall, it might wear out the feeling of joy and mystery as to why all through the rest of the year your rotgut, your seaweed wine, and jugs of home brewed beer made your head swim, your feet had a difficult time finding the ground, and you growled at the children like a sod, sad old bear.

 

Until that time, once again the little man came to the house. Hansel and Gretel were still at home. Then the two children shouted out with glee and happy to see you even when you were filled up to your eyeballs inebriated with that no good old bear. There you were as passive as a kitten and never knowing why. Just that one time a year seemed so dear.

 

When the two children shouted you didn't even mind. What rhymes with the root that they shouted out in cheer, in song like glee they did sing out. And you smiled with a grin ear to ear.

 

It's the ...... bread man! Oh! Even full of juice you made merry as you usually got. For some reason that day you still could walk the walk, dance with your favorite gal without knocking over a pot, and yet you say there is no cure for the problems you've got all the rest of the year. Hm? Maybe you should learn to cook some bread or make some of that beer with the secret that Hansel and Gretel know so well.
